COL MAKES HISTORY

PDG Ron Sekkel, past RGHF board
FIFTH AVENUE OF SERVICE
The Avenue of New Generations recognizes the positive change implemented by youth and young adults involved in leadership development activities, community and international service projects, and exchange programs that enrich and foster world peace and cultural understanding.

Representative Ronald P. Sekkel, of District 5170 (California, USA), proposed the enactment by saying that New Generations is the future of Rotary.

PDG Ron's own comments to RGHF:
"I was told by many directors and presidents that it would not pass. When it passed 263 - 250 with a gasp and applause I think we made Rotary history. I was told it had been tried for at least 15 years. I got congratulations from many at the COL and a press release with my name from RI." - Read the full story at
