ABCs OF ROTARY (Cliff Dochterman)
 |
| Cliff Dochterman RI President, 1992-93 |
Tolerance of Differences
Occasionally, there is a temptation to criticize the laws customs and traditions of another country which may seem strange or contrary to our own. In some instances, illegal practices or customs of one nation are completely lawful and acceptable in another.
As members of an international organization dedicated to world understanding and peace, it behooves Rotarians to exercise restraint in judging our rotary friends and citizens from other countries when their behaviour seems unusual to us.
A Rotary policy has existed for more than half a century relating to this dilemma of international relationships.
The statement, adopted in 1933, says that because it is recognized that some activities and local customs may be legal and customary in some countries and not in others, rotarians shoul dbe guided by this admonition of tolerance:
"Rotarians in all countries should recognize these facts and there should be a thoughtful avoidance of criticism of the laws and customs of one country by the Rotarians of another country."
The policy also cautions against "any effort on the part of Rotarians of one country to interfere with the laws or customs of another country."
As we strive to strengthen the bonds of understanding, goodwill and friendship, these policies still provide good advice and guidance.

ROTARY AWARENESS - Let's become "Rotary aware"
As Rotarians, we are welcomed at any Rotary Club throughout the world.
In the next few months, let's all try to attend a minimum of 3 meetings at clubs outside of our own E-Club
Please make an effort to see how other clubs operate! Expand your Rotary family!

UNUSUAL MAKE-UP MEETINGS
Which Rotarians have to travel farthest for a make-up meeting?
If you guessed the 34 members of the Rotary Club of Papeete, Tahiti, which is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, you are right. It is the club that is most remote from any other.
The southernmost Rotary meeting is that of the Rotary Club of Punta Arenas, Chile, on the tip of South America.
To visit the northernmost club, you must travel above the Arctic Circle to the Rotary Club of Nordkapp, Norway.
If you attend the El Aguilar Club in Argentina, you are meeting with the highest club in the world at 16,000 feet (4,880 meters) above sea level.
The lowest club meets at 40 feet below sea level at El Centro, California, U.S.A.
It is said that there is a Rotary meeting being held someplace in the world every hour of every day of the year. If you attended one meeting per day, it would take 75 years or more to visit all of the more than 32,000 Rotary clubs in the world, and by that time, no doubt, there would be thousands more new clubs to attend.

ROTARY ANTHEM
Did You Know?...........
The tradition of singing at Rotary club meetings began in 1905 with Rotarian Harry L. Ruggles, of the Rotary Club of Chicago. New Rotary clubs formed, and the practice of singing at club meetings caught on.
Ruggles's company published an unofficial Book of Songs -- a collection of patriotic tunes, familiar standards, and Rotary songs (many penned by Rotarians) -- to help clubs make singing a regular part of their meetings.
The first official edition of Ruggles's songbook, Songs for the Rotary Club , was published in 1920 and provided lyrics only. Editions with musical notation appeared in 1925.
