Rotary Initiative 2011-12
The Rotary theme for the 2011-12 Rotary year beginning 1st July, 2011 is: Reach Within to Embrace Humanity
In 2011-12, Rotarians are asked to look within themselves to understand that all of humanity has the same dreams, similar hopes, the same aspirations and similar problems. What we work to bring to others, we must first find within ourselves because what we wish for ourselves is what others wish for themselves.
To foster peace globally, we need first to start with ourselves and then work outward. We need to find our own peace, and then work to establish peace in our homes and our families and our communities.
If you strengthen yourself, you strengthen those who share your life and your home. Once you have a strong family, you have a strong base on which to build. Those who have that inner strength can work together to better serve humanity, which is what we do in Rotary.
This, in the year ahead, we will have three emphases in our Rotary service: to strengthen our family, to continue what we do best, and to change whatever needs to be changed.
Let us Reach Within to Embrace Humanity. And in peace, harmony and friendship, let us bring change and a more joyful future for us all.
“You must be the change you wish to see in the world”
(Mohandas Gandhi)
