International Responsibilities of a RotarianAs an international organization, Rotary offers each member unique opportunities

and responsibilities. Although each Rotarian has first responsibility to uphold the obligations of citizenship of his or her own country, membership in Rotary enables Rotarians to take a somewhat different view of international affairs. In the early 1950s a Rotary philosophy was adopted to describe how a Rotarian may think on a global basis. Here is what it said:

“A world-minded Rotarian:• looks beyond national patriotism and considers himself as sharing responsibility

for the advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace;• resists any tendency to act in terns of national or racial superiority; • seeks and develops common grounds for agreement with peoples of other lands;• defends the rule of law and order to preserve the liberty of the individual so that

he may enjoy freedom of thought, speech and assembly, and freedom from perse-cution, aggression, want and fear;

• supports action directed toward improving standards of living for all peoples, realizing that poverty anywhere endangers prosperity everywhere;

• upholds the principles of justice for mankind;• strives always to promote peace between nations and prepares to make per-

sonal sacrifices for that ideal;• urges and practices a spirit of understanding of every other man’s beliefs as a

step toward international goodwill, recognizing that there are certain basic moral and spiritual standards which will ensure a richer, fuller life.”

Attendance: 19 Rotarians present. Guests were returning Rotari-an Mark Howard; speakers Rev. David Mayer and Maggie Skalka, of St. Paul Lutheran Church; Tanya Mayer of St Paul Lutheran Church; Devin Christopherson, Joe’s son; Barbara Christopher, Diane Cosgrove’s mom; Kellie Early from State Rep. Andrew Murr’s office.President Jim Danner called the meeting to order. He noted that the installation dinner is June 30 at the Alsatian Golf Course’s Dagger Grille. The golf tournament was a success!! As soon as Cynthia is back we will have final numbers. The board voted to help fund an international project in India, to aid with installation of girls’ restrooms at schools. Many of the girls in India did not attend public school due to the lack of girls’ bathrooms. Kellie with Representative Murr’s office presented Paul Guinn of Guinn-Horger Funeral Home with the distinguished honor of Es-teem Texas Treasury Business Award. She also presented him a Texas flag which was flown over the capitol in the business’ honor. David Mayer and Maggie Skalka were introduced as our speak-ers.
