Inspiration
"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Rotary 4-Way Test
Of the things we think, say or do: 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?”
By building your team's self-esteem and encouraging them, the entire team becomes stronger.
Sing-Along Song—Rocky Top Rotary.
Our Rotary International President Elect, John F. Germ, is from Chattanooga, TN near where the song Rocky Top:
Wish that I was on ole rocky top, down in the Tennessee hills. Ain't no smoggy smoke on rocky top, Ain't no telephone bills. Once there was a girl on rocky top, Half bear the other half cat. Wild as a mink, sweet as soda pop, I still dream about that. Rocky top, you'll always be Home sweet home to me. Good ole rocky top, Rocky top Tennessee, rocky top Tennessee.
was inspired by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Well, Rotarians were inspired to write a song about Rocky Top Rotary. If you've heard of and liked Rocky Top in Tennessee, you'll love Rocky Top Rotary. Take your time and sing-along (wherever you may be). Most of the words are visible on the screen shown in the video.
Note: this video is an edited copy of the video filmed by Past District Governor, David Stovall, on the Festival of Countries Night at the Assembly.
Fine Master
Traditionally, Rotary clubs have Fine Masters who are responsible for collecting fines/happy dollars. The clipart to your left is our e-club Fine Master. Do you have happy dollars, a birthday, an anniversary, a promotion, opening a new business, new car, new child, new grandchild, etc. Please feel free (and perhaps obligated) to click on our Rotary FineMaster button to your right.
The minimum fine is $3.00 to ensure a sufficient amount to take care of the PayPal fee. The purpose of the fines can be viewed by clicking on [View Fines/Happy Dollars] from the [Weekly Meetings] main menu
Program— DGEs Visits—Rotary Serving Humanity
On January 23, we celebrated our 4th anniversary while hosting two District Governors Elect from our District 3780, Atty. Dwight Ramos and District 3790, Raul Peralta.
