A ROTARIAN
A Rotarian is a person who digs wells from which they will never drink
A person who vaccinates children they will never meet
Who restores sight for those they will never see
Who builds houses they will never live in
Who educates children they will never know
Who plants trees they will never sit under
Who feeds hungry people, regardless of colour, race or politics
Who knows real happiness, can only be found by serving others
With credit to Rotary Club of Booragoon for the above

Becoming a Rotarian
When the first Rotary Club was formed in 1905, by a Chicago lawyer, Paul Harris and some business associates, it was designed to be an organization of business professionals with differing vocational experience. It enabled a relationship within its members that would commonly be called "networking" in today's world.
In keeping with some of the original goals of that new organization, membership in Rotary clubs today is by invitation and is only open to business professionals, men and women, with an attempt to cover a diversity of professions and skills.
