RI社長6月份文告

 

敬愛的扶輪社友們:

 
  
奧克拉荷馬州有一句俗話說,離開時要讓木柴堆比你抵達時再高一點。要做到這點,我需要各位參與。參與是我們今年的主題 ─參與扶輪,改變人生 ─ 的重點。而我們每個人都做到了這點 ─當我們每個人都起身而行真正參與扶輪時─我們已經改變人生。
 

  今年,我敦請你們每個人引進一名新社員。理事會已經奠定在全球各地強化社員的基礎:16 項地域社員計畫此時已在各地就位開展。這些計畫的主旨在於確保我們給人們一個加入且留在扶輪的理由。我相信如果我們可以讓潛在社員幫助我們推動計畫──可以是唸書給小孩子聽,或是在食物賑濟所服務,或是沿公路撿拾垃圾──其餘的事也就水到渠成。他們會瞭解到他們已經改善了別人的人生。他們也會瞭解到當你透過扶輪服務奉獻,會獲得更多回報。
 
  我也請各位捐獻給我們的扶輪基金會。我們所有的總監都這麼做,成為扶輪有史以來首度做到這點的總監。
 
  有時候我們會輕輕鬆鬆參加扶輪社而沒有任何責任。或許那是因為我們沒有被要求要更加參與。當然,參加例會和朋友見面很好,可是如果你想要真正動起來,你必須推辦計畫。親身參與的計畫是最好的等化器,當你把箱子從卡車上搬下來,你就和下一個人一樣,那個人也和你一樣。當每個人一起服務,便會產生同志精神,那就是讓人保持參與的方法。
 
  扶輪社員有時候不瞭解扶輪在做的事或是扶輪有能力做的事。如果他們可以親睹我今年所見過的計畫的影響力,那會改變他們的人生。他們會了解到他們隸屬於一個社員有共同行善的渴望、一個社員一起努力便可成就驚人成果的組織。
 
  看到扶輪社員所成就的善果依然令我敬畏。我堅信因為各位的努力,木柴已堆得更高一點。我希望你們每個人都會繼續參與扶輪,改變人生。

DEAR FELLOW ROTARIANS,

     We have a saying in Oklahoma that you need to leave the woodpile just a little higher than you found it. To do that, I needed to ask you to get involved. Involvement is what our theme this year – Engage Rotary, Change Lives – is all about. And, as each of us has done that – as each of us has gotten up out of our chairs and truly engaged Rotary – we have changed lives.

 

     This year, I asked each one of you to bring in one new member. The Board has laid a foundation for strengthening membership around the globe: Sixteen regional membership plans are now in place. They are built around making sure that we give people a reason to be in Rotary. I believe that if we can get prospective members to help us with a project – it could be reading to kids, or working in a soup kitchen, or picking up trash along the highway – the rest will take care of itself. They will realize that they made a difference in someone’s life. And they’ll also realize that when you give through Rotary service, you get so much more in return.
 
     I also asked each one of you to make a gift of some amount to our Rotary Foundation. All of our governors did that and became the first class in the history of Rotary to make that commitment.
 
     Sometimes we get comfortable in going to our club and not having any responsibility. Maybe it’s because we haven’t been asked to be more engaged. And, of course, it’s great to go to your meeting and see your friends. But if you want to get fired up, you need to be doing projects. Hands-on projects are great equalizers. When you’re unloading boxes off a truck, you’re just like the next person, and that person is just like you. When everyone’s serving together, there’s a camaraderie, and that’s how you keep people engaged.
 
     Rotarians sometimes don’t realize all that Rotary is doing and is capable of doing. If they could witness the impact of the projects I have seen this year, it would change their lives. They would understand that they belong to an organization whose members have a common desire to do something good and who, working together, accomplish incredible things.
 
     I continue to be in awe of the good I see Rotarians doing. I am firmly convinced that the woodpile is just a little higher because of your efforts. It is my hope that each one of you will continue to Engage Rotary, Change Lives.
