SECOND: High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society; THIRD: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life; FOURTH: The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service. In 1978 I was invited to join Rotary. The objects of Rotary provided me as a Manager of the opportunity of caucusing and sharing with people with similar problems in running a business as I was having. Rotary opened doors and giving me contacts and skills that enabled me to enter into business. Riccarton Rotary meetings (as they are today) were held over lunch on Mondays with committees meeting monthly in evenings at members homes. The fellowship gained by working together raising money for projects that will be enhance our community and overseas was very rewarding. In 1 year alone I recall the club raising $300,000 some of which was used in Rotary’s Polio Plus campaign to eliminate Polio from the world by year 2000. This objective will be achieved in the next year or two. Our club runs as a fund raiser the Riccarton Rotary Sunday Market that since 2002 has provided the club with nearly $2,000,000 which it has used to help others. I invite you to join a Rotary Club - check out these websites www.riccartonmarket.co.nz and www.riccartonrotary.org.nz |
