RGHF ORGANIZATION PAGE - ROTARY YEAR 2011/12
"History is not the baggage of Rotary, but rather the blue print of
Rotary. This blueprint is what you need if you want to "remodel" the
building. We can't live in the past, but we need to understand it to change
the present. Even the term “Fellowship” is something of the past. So what do
we call what we have now? How about service which leads to friendship. That
was the point from our history. Have a say in history by joining RGHF www.joinrghf.org"
Jack Selway,
RGHF Founder and CEO (Join us in Bangkok,

As Rotary founder Paul Harris said:
“This is a changing world; we must be prepared to change with it.
The story of Rotary will have to be written again and again.”
This Rotarian Age, page 253
“I am of course
a very proud member of ...RGHF..., and when I was
planning my remarks for this morning I wanted to do justice to the occasion
with some appropriate historical references. So I was thinking a bit about
what is probably the most famous line out there having to do with history:
that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. But then it occurred
to me that in Rotary, perhaps it might be the other way around—that those
who forget our history will not get the chance to repeat it, or at least, to
repeat its success.” RIP 11/12
