“The Rotary
Foundation is not
to build
monuments of
brick and stone.
If we work upon
marble, it will
perish; if we work
on brass, time will
efface it; if we
rear temples they
will crumble into
dust; but if we
work upon
immortal minds, if
we imbue them
with the full
meaning of the
spirit of Rotary as
expressed in our
Objects and with
the just fear of
God and love of
our fellowmen, we
are engraving
on those tablets
something that
will brighten all
eternity.”

Foundation, THE
ROTARIAN, April

Rotary Homoeo Clinics
Rotary Free Homoeo Clinics are being successfully operated at Rotary Homoeo
Clinic, Autonagar & Gajuwaka since 1991.
Currently, the clinic is being held at Gajuwaka.
”Rotary is so simple
that many people do
not understand it,
and some even
misunderstand it.
Rotary is not a
philosophy…not an
all-embracing world
point of view which
answers every
question…and
satisfies all the
dictates of the
heart and mind.
Rotary is merely an
association of
business and
professional men
united in the ideal
of service.”
— Address to 1938
Rotary Convention,
San Francisco,
California, USA
Thanks to Rtn.Sanjay Agarwal for sponsoring
medicines quite for a long time.
More than 50 patients are being treated on a biweekly basis.
Fruit Distribution Programme
Fruit Distribution programme was clubbed with DG’s Official visit. Our DG was
moved to see the real happiness with gratitude in students eyes when they received fruits.
Rtn. Jagadeeswara Rao sponsored the event. The following are the locations:
1) Chettivanipalem, 2) Appanna Colony,
3) Akkireddypalem, 4) Driver’s Colony.
Sponsors for forthcoming Fruit Distribution are
Solicited.
Blood Bank Project
Donations for our prestigious Blood Bank Project are solicited from all sections
of the society. Anticipations alone doesn’t realize our dream plans into reality.
Hence, meticulous planning & rigorous hard work would see our Club on the
geographical map of Blood Banks in Visakhapatnam.
As of now, necessary government permissions are underway, meanwhile, let’s
strive hard together to reach our goal — FULL FLEDGED BLOOD BANK in Autonagar.

About Rotary
Early Years of Rotary International:
The first Rotary Club was formed when attorney Paul P. Harris called together a
meeting of three business acquaintances in downtown Chicago, at Harris' friend
Sylvester Schiele's office in the Unity Building on Dearborn Street on February
23, 1905.
In addition to Harris and Schiele (a coal merchant), Gustave E. Loehr (mines
engineer), and Hiram E. Shorey (tailor) were the other two who attended this
first meeting.
The members chose the name Rotary because initially they rotated subsequent
weekly club meetings to each other's offices, although within a year, the Chicago club became so
large it became necessary to adopt the nowcommon practice of a regular meeting place.

LOVE IN ACTION
One night a man came to our house and told me,
“There is a family with eight children. They have not
eaten for days,” I took some food and I went. When I finally came to the family, I saw the faces of those little
children disfigured by hunger. There was no sorrow or
sadness in their faces, just the deep pain of hunger. I
gave the rice to the mother. She divided it in two, and
went out, carrying half the rice with her.
When she came back, I asked her, “Where did you go?” She gave me this simple answer,
“To my neighbors-they are hungry also.”
I was not surprised that she gave–because poor people are generous. But I was surprised
that she knew they were hungry. As a rule, when we are suffering, we are so focused on
ourselves we have no time for others.
- By Mother Teresa
RARE ILLUSION — Rtn. BHEEMESH.P.L.
If you take a look at the following picture , let me tell you .... it is not animated. Your eyes are making it
move. To test this, stare at one spot for a couple seconds and everything will stop moving. Or look at the
black center of each circle and it will stop moving. But move your eyes to the next black center and the previous will move after you take your eyes away from it.... Weird :)
