Recently I’ve received several requests from fellow Rotarians, asking what Rotary and The Rotary Foundation are going to do about changes in our country’s political situation. Invariably, in the same breath the individual adds that of course, we don’t touch politics or religion. Many of the questions relate specifically to what a prominent person has shared about Rotary, or concerns over funding for our international projects.
Rotary has taken a stand, a prominent, respected and admired stand for over 120 years, a stand that every Rotarian supports and respects. We stand for the 4-Way Test, for Service Above Self, for the dignity of every human regardless of any type of demographic that others might use to divide us. We stand for human respect not only for those we help locally and globally but also for our own members. We stand for the values of diversity, for inclusion, for equity for everyone in our world.
