Call Me Barry…
 
 

“Our theme in this Rotary year is Be the Inspiration. I chose this theme because, throughout my years in Rotary, I have seen what truly motivates Rotarians is their work. The Rotarians who have the biggest impact through their service aren't always the women and men with the greatest resources, the most experience, or the largest networks. They're the ones who are inspired. Whether it was something they did, something they say, or someone they met, they’ve all had experiences that lit them on fire– and inspired them to serve.

 

This year, I ask each of you not only seek that inspiration within yourselves, but to Be the Inspiration for others. Work to build clubs and districts with Rotarians who find meaning in their service, who know they are having an impact, and who are inspired to do even more. Lead with passion, lead by example– and lead Rotary to a future even stronger than its present.”
