Sunday 8 February 2009 

World Understanding Month 

.Rotary does yeoman service in countless other ways as well. Note how it is
spreading knowledge of the United Nations, wherein civilization itself is at
stake. How could Rotary do otherwise? The delegates are assembled to promote
international understanding and goodwill. This is the very heart's core of
Rotary teaching. Rotarians were members of 20 delegations and chairman of
seven of them at the San Francisco meeting of the United Nations. More
power, more power to you, my beloved Rotary! [Paul P. Harris in The Rotarian
February 1947]

Paul Harris had been dead since 27 January, when this issue of The Rotarian
rolled out. It was too late to change anything, so his last article, as his
last book [My Road to Rotary] was published after his death. 62 years ago
now. As we recognize World Understanding Month, I suggest reading at least
one of Paul's three books at www.whatpaulharriswrote.org
<http://www.whatpaulharriswrote.org/>  His wisdom, and that of other Rotary
leaders is there for the ages. 

I would suggest that if you truly want to be a Rotarian, find out what
Rotary is by studying Rotary Global History. In the same way you would also
study medicine to become a fine medical professional. Rotarians are needed
to mend a sorely wounded world. 

Please pass this on to your district's incoming governor. It will help that
future Rotary officer to serve all of us better. 

Yours in service through Rotary Global History, 

Jack Selway, Founder & Chair Emeritus
