Oristano June 1, 2010
Dear friends and fellow Rotarians,
June is the month that ends a year of intense Rotary service. We do not think, however, it is only a month of "statements", but give one month to live with the same intensity of the other eleven months as a Rotary International devotes important that the international friendship. Friendship, the latter extended to all Rotarians in the world and now commonly known as Rotary Fellowship.
In summary this friendship is put in place between those Rotarians who share common interests work or play in various sectors of the life and work activities: the cultural, health, management, sports, artistic, environmental, etc..
What better destination possible of the letter sent to friendship among all Rotarians of the world?
Let me reflect. One of the expressions of Paul P. Harris struck me most is the one on friendship. E 'short, perhaps the most concise, but also one of the most significant (although not much used among us and also, perhaps, the most neglected):
"Friendship was the foundation on which was constructed by the Rotary and tolerance is what keeps it together. "
(Paul P. Harris, My Road to Rotary, District 2070 of the Italian edition, 1983, p.. 244)
Joining Rotary means to be part of a new world. Each of us join a Rotary club, joins a global network of people who share similar interests and values. The friendships and camaraderie of Rotary extend well beyond the club level. At the district level, national and international opportunities for Rotarians to meet and exchange experiences and knowledge with other associates are innumerable.
Very often, social relations set up through the Rotary leading to friendships that last a lifetime. I established contacts can also turn into service projects. All part of the successful formula of the Rotary movement and that has grown for over a century. And so a common passion, whatever it is grown in the light of the values \u200b\u200bwe share in Rotary, has a sweeping effect that leads to find out how the Rotary Friendship can not be separated from the reasons that apply outside the club, but that may give them a deeper meaning. Being part of a Fellowship is an opportunity to see how the family really exists also outside the Rotary Club, it is not a formula or ambitious rhetoric, an obligation imposed by our manuals, but the real Domus, where to cultivate and share those passions and those values \u200b\u200bthat are used wisely able to cancel both the generational differences that role. Dear friends
June closes an intense year for our club you will find at the bottom of the letter from our Secretary with appointments set before the summer break.
May was a very important month. In the month was held both the Congress of the Rotary year, both the preparatory meeting for the next year will officially begin his course on July 1. Our club has participated in both events.
On May 26 we had the pleasure of hosting the GSE Group (Group of Study and Exchange), organized this year with District 5750 of 'Oklahoma (USA). The participants spent with us two beautiful days of study and knowledge. I enclose a photo of the band.
The next event is the "passing bell" Luciano Gavelli between the President and the incoming President Antonio Sulis. I hope that we will all be present: Luciano to thank and wish it to Antonio.
I expect you all to the Mistral 2!
