June is Rotary Fellowship Month

Though service is our primary goal in Rotary, we could not get done all that we have without fellowship. Rotary provides us opportunities for fellowship on so many levels. Of course, there is fellowship at the club level. It is very important for us to know our fellow members and have a sense of belonging to something bigger than ourselves.

To get a more complete sense of fellowship in Rotary, we must go beyond seeking friendship with those in our club and interact with Rotarians from other places. This allows us to promote peace and goodwill through better understanding.

Rotary International has set up a link on their website that lists a wide variety of groups based on a specific interest. These groups are made up of Rotarians around the world that share the same interest. As an example, our PP Chris, is a member of the group of Rotarians who are passionate about wines and our treasurer Joe is a HAM (Amateur Radio)
