Getting to Know You...

 
Let's share more about our e-club members by having you write to the editor, Robin Charlesworth, and answer this question:   WHY DID YOU JOIN ROTARY? 
 
Our Rotary e-club of Houston has acquired members in various states in the U.S. and many international members, too.  We want to know your thoughts and activities and experiences.  An exchange of ideas and a brief introduction will help us feel connected even though we are not face-to-face.  Please email your reply to:  charlesworth@stresscontrol.com
 
The Rotarian magazine recently asked members around the world to share their reasons for joining, and for staying in, their club. Here are some of their responses:
 
I joined Rotary to be a part of our collective humanitarian projects, and I have stayed because of the joy on the faces of beneficiaries each time we solve a need.
Chibuzo Hilary Asogwa
Rotary Club of Ekulu, Enugu State, Nigeria
 
I had a desire to give back to my community and the world. My father was a Rotarian, so I knew a lot about it. That was about nine years ago. I think what keeps me there is the friendships, not only with people in my local club but with Rotarians I’ve met from around the world.
Elizabeth Cohoe
Rotary Club of Cataraqui-Kingston, Ontario, Canada
 
I sat down and figured out how much time I was donating, and how much more effective it would be as part of a club instead of doing it all myself. I joined for the service and stay for all the friends I’ve made. It’s nice to travel and instantly have friends wherever I go.
