 MOTION TO APPROVE "ROTARY GLOBAL HISTORY DAY" Move the
adoption of Rotary Global History Day as an ongoing and annual celebration of
Rotary history to encourage all of Rotary to make good use of Rotary history
to aid in membership retention. That said Rotary Global History Day originated with
the first celebration on 11 October 2000.

From RGHF Rotary Global
History
www.rghf.org
An eight year review of all RGHF features: December 2008 RGHF Rotary Minute for December 2008. For over eight years, RGHF has been serving Rotarians with regular weekly Rotary related features. These features have been valuable to YOU, in part, because they convey the common experience and heritage of nearly 104 years of Rotary. What these features and the tens of thousands of articles on our 3,000 page website have in common is our shared value of Service above Self, the Four Way Test, and our entire history (plus the contributions and input from individual Rotarians). As RGHF celebrates eight fruitful years of service to Rotary, we ask each recipient (YOU) of this month’s combined feature to send this on to all past, present, and future Rotary club, district, and zone officers so that our work may help them with retention. As RGHF future president Frank Longoria, USA, wrote in his monthly RGHF report: The motivating force behind this endeavor is the belief that Rotarians who have a clear understanding of Rotary history are infinitely more likely to remain as Rotarians for life and are more inclined to contribute generously to the Rotary Foundation. Our efforts in meeting our objectives will continue and even intensify during the coming months. I encourage all DGs who read this message to please include information on RGHF in their monthly newsletters. It will take all of us together to be successful in reaching the goals of our organization. Frank Longoria, Chair PR/Membership Committee THE FIRST RGHF What Paul Harris Said 30 December 2001 www.whatpaulharrissaid.org Since the beginning of civilization, there has been a surplus of sayers of things. If there is any one particular in which I would have Rotary distinguished from other organizations, it is in the quality of character which results in the doing of things. Paul Harris, Message to the 1921 RI Convention in Edinburgh, Scotland. THE FIRST RGHF Our Foundation Newsletter 1 March 2001 www.ourfoundation.info We want to provide a forum for your ideas on making Rotary more responsive to our community, our world and its people. PRID Lynn Hammond, USA, from the first newsletter. THE FIRST RGHF Why I am a Rotarian 7 January 2006 www.whyiam.org Why I Am a Rotarian - The reasons change with passing time. In 1950, it was because two businessmen I respected had invited me to join, and the leading business and professional men in town elected me to membership in the Rotary Club of California, Pennsylvania, U.S.A. Past RI President Chuck Keller, USA THE FIRST RGHF Rotary Global History Day 23 November 2008 www.11october.org RGHF has started a program to recognize club histories, to encourage the study of history at the club level. We have a new list of ideas for beginning your own history at www.11october.org suggested by one of our members. THE FIRST RGHF Frank Talk Gems 1 January 2008 www.franktalkgems.org One of the most amazing things about the success of Rotary is that it is achieved entirely by volunteers. It all starts because one Rotarian wants something to happen, not because some boss tells him or her to do it, or to fulfill a mission statement that is posted on a wall somewhere. Every successful project that Rotary has ever accomplished has begun at the grass roots level in the minds and hearts of individual Rotarians. Frank Talk I, p. 106 THE FIRST RGHF Rotarian Disaster Relief Alert (Myanmar), 20 May 2008 www.rghf.org/drrag ROTARIANS WANT TO WORK WITH ROTARIANS AND ROTARIANS WANT TO BE IMMEDIATELY INVOLVED AND TAKE ACTION RGHF member Steve Wright, California, USA put it this way: Never thought about the link between history and growth, but it certainly makes sense. Easier to have high enthusiasm when something is new as opposed to Main St. Thanks for the new perspective, gives me something to chew on. Everything old is new again, at the pages of www.rghf.org Yours in service through history, Joe Kagle, RGHF President 2007/2009 |
