QUOTES FROM ROTARY INTERNATIONAL PAST PRESIDENTSHarold Thomas 49 RI President

In 1959-60,  Harold T. Thomas of the  Rotary Club of Auckland, New Zealand, was the 49th President of Rotary International. His Rotary vision: To vitalize, personalize, and build bridges of friendship.

“One of the most impressive examples I know of international cooperation is in those gardens where we find plants, shrubs, and trees flourishing side by side in perfect harmony and beauty….There is much wisdom to be learned in a garden, and the very beginning is a realization of the fact that all final results depend upon proper preparation of the soil….So it is with Rotary. The crop we envisage is world peace and stability, a world in which we all live together as friends and neighbours.  The seed to be sown — fellowship, friendship, understanding. The soil — the minds of individual Rotarians.”   — Address to 1960 Rotary Convention, Miami-Miami Beach, Florida, USA

ROTARY ERECTIONS

Are you able to explain why the Rotary Club of Busselton would go to the trouble of erecting this timber structure (the metal piping is existing), let alone put its name to it? I said I would tell you in this  e-news

And so I shall. Its not a seat as one Rotarian suggested. Its actually a point to clean fish; can you see the tap. This is one of a number that exist along the two km length of the Busselton Jetty.

Past President Kevin Lawrenson who is currently the President nominated for Katoomba Club knew first. By the way here is a photo of Kevin and just to keep the thread going why are Kevin and Lynn in convict dress?
