Quote of the week:

It has been the way of Rotary to focus thought upon matters in which members are in agree-ment, rather than upon matters in which they are in disagree-ment.

Donate your kid's books, preferably in Arabic (We don't mind English though!), or any book you come across for elementary school kids' ages.. a book that your kids no longer use could be a new beam

Interesting topics to read on Rotary International or the District

Ron D. Burton

President 2013-14

September 2013

Paul Harris famously wrote, “This is a changing world: we must be prepared to change with it. The

story of Rotary will have to be written again and again.” While we will never know what Rotarian

Paul would have thought of the Internet Age, I think I do know what he would have said about the

idea of a Rotary website: that not only should we have one, but that it should be the best possible –

keeping up with advances in technology, and always responding to the needs of Rotarians.

I’m proud to announce that after a redesign that has taken two years from concept to completion, the

new Rotary.org is now live and available to Rotarians and Internet users everywhere. It contains many

of the features you’ve asked for, most notably a much improved search function and navigation, new

ways to connect with your fellow Rotarians around the world, and a more personalized experience that

will connect you with the information that’s interesting to you.

Rotary’s new website is actually two sites: one for the family of Rotary, and another for people

interested in finding out more about Rotary. When you create an account and log on as a member,

you’ll gain access to a host of new Rotary tools. One I hope you’ll all use is Rotary Club Central, an

efficient and effective way for clubs to set goals, track their progress, and maintain continuity from

one administration to the next. You can also create or join a Rotary group, an interactive discussion

forum that gives you a way to find and talk to Rotarians with similar interests. You can exchange ideas

and experiences, and benefit from the experiences of others from all over the world, at any time of the

day or night. It’s a tool with wonderful potential to improve our service by allowing us to learn

directly from others already involved in projects similar to those we might be planning.

For non-Rotarians, the new site will show what Rotary is and what we do, highlighting the uniqueness

of Rotary and how Rotary clubs strengthen their communities. They’ll be able to see a snapshot of

different Rotary projects and areas of service, find out more about how Rotary works, and explore

ways to get involved.

I am excited about this new window on the Rotary world and invite you all to visit, explore, and learn

– as we write the story of Rotary, again and again, together.
