Rotary Visions:

1962-63 Nitish C. Laharry (motion pictures distribution), Rotary Club of Calcutta, India. Rotary vision: To kindle the spark within each Rotarian that lights the path to service.

“Man’s instinct for making and amassing wealth…the profit motive…cannot be rooted out from human nature either by the sword or by legislation. Let us make all the legitimate profit we can, but, in doing so, let the basis of that profit be service to all concerned. Idealism in practice should be characteristic of the Rotary movement.” That’s a Good Question, THE ROTARIAN, March 1963

 

REMEMBER! –

Ponchatoula Rotary is always looking for new members in our community who are active and would be an asset to our club. Invite a prospective new member to a meeting on Thursdays.

ROTARY MEMORIES:

I still look back fondly on the year that Sybil Paulson was president.  I was new to the club and was eager to help get ready for the Strawberry Festival.  She and I decided to take on the project of cleaning out the closet at the hut.  We found interesting historical documents/pictures and also some really gross things that should have been thrown out 20 years ago!  All we could do was laugh at both! – Angelique (Daigle) Richardson
