Vibrations of the Soul

Learning expressive ways to communicate brings life to words and to our being.  Children often display in their play, such inventiveness and creativity.  But it takes a lot more to make it good, to really impress and to touch another.  It takes discipline, hours of practice and careful listening.

As Rotarians, we need to seek out that creative spirit that can make many hearts sing by our acts of generosity in time of need. 

By the use of our gifts and talents given freely and in a timely manner.  By our faith to try what hasn't been tried, and to find success where others have not.

Now coming to the close of another Rotary year, lets all reflect back on the year gone by, smile and be proud of what has been done and what has been achieved. 

 

The dreams that have been made real... The freedom that has been bought... The price that has been paid... That which brought tears and laughter, new horizons, friendships and gave life to another. 

Let's not give up or rest on our laurels but rather find new ways to conquer in the year ahead.
