At last week’s meeting, Dr. Paul Moore brought a program outlining the work of the Rotary Foundation. The RF is the charitable arm of Rotary International and provides funding for notable projects all over the world that impact health, nutrition, peace, clean water, education for thousands. Our club is a 100% member contributing club to the RF. While we are a small club, we know our $$s leveraged with that of others around the world create a huge impact on our world. Dr. Moore shared the history of how the RF was begun and its success today. He left us with this quote..” He profits most who serves best.”
In 1911, the second Rotary convention, in Portland, Oregon, USA, approved “ He Profits Most Who Serves Best “ as the Rotary motto. The wording was adapted from a speech that Rotarian Arthur Frederick Sheldon delivered to the first convention, held in Chicago the previous year. Sheldon declared that “only the science of right conduct toward others pays. Business is the science of human services. He profits most who serves his fellows best.”
