VOLUME:1, ISSUE:3 PAGE “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.” — The Rotary Foundation, THE ROTARIAN, April 1929. 2 District Governor Official Visit lauded our Clubs efforts to promote Greenery in & around Autonagar.

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.

VOLUME:1, ISSUE:3 PAGE 4 Rotary International Convention our 4 adopted schools 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. VOLUME:1, ISSUE:3 PAGE 5 Articles Column 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....
