Rotary Visions:
1964-65 Charles W. Pettengill (civil law practice), Rotary Club of Greenwich, Connecticut, USA. Rotary vision: That every Rotarian would Live Rotary in all facets of his life.
“At the Westinghouse laboratories in New York, an interesting experiment was conducted. A great bar of steel, eight feet long and weighing a half-ton was suspended vertically from a chain. Parallel to it on a stout thread hung a cord from an ordinary bottle weighing perhaps a half-ounce….Again and again the small cork was swung against that huge steel bar. For a long time the bar hung motionless but after 10 minutes a nervous chill seemed to go through the bar. Another two minutes and the chill turned into plainly visible vibrations. Those vibrations increased in rapidity and in strength until after 25 minutes the great bar began to swing like the pendulum of a grandfather clock….Rotarians, you and your club projects may seem at times like the cork tapping against the bar, but tap you must, and if you tap long enough the bar will swing.”
— Address to 1964 Rotary Convention, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
