Our International President (Mr Huang) has as a portion of his message which reads, "each project is another brick in the building of Rotary". This month of November, I would like to construct upon this message. We are all very busy this time of year.
However, it is this time of year when we do our best work. When the banner of Rotarian's gift of service shines! Be proud when speaking with family and friends. Inform them of our mission of service, ask them to join us in this endeavor. For before we lay the bricks we must have a strong foundation. Rotary is the vehicle which provides this foundation. Each brick and structure derived from this foundation, will bring great beauty in the form of service to humanity.
