What others are saying about Rotary
“Rotary has the ability to organize
campaigns to mobilize support for some of the worthiest causes that exist, and that makes Rotary a precious resource.”
– Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary-General
“Rotary’s PolioPlus program is a shining example of the achievements made possible by cooperation between the United Nations and nongovernmental organizations.”
“I admire the Rotary promise to solve
problems that destroy lives and trample dreams and human potential.”
–Queen Noor al-Hussein of Jordan
“Through my contact with Rotary, I learned about the importance of community service.
The Rotary motto of Service Above Self has left
a deep impression and has guided me since. I would like to express my profound gratitude
to The Rotary Foundation for having given me
that unique opportunity and a solid foundation
that eventually led me to the Office of the UN
High Commissioner for Refugees, a global service organization to protect those fleeing from
armed conflict and persecution.”
– Sadako Ogata, Japanese prime minister’s special representative for assistance to Afghanistan

We are 'this close' to stamping out polio and need a concerted effort to finish the job!
The world needs to know!
