(From the Rotary publication
The ABCs of Rotary)
These short articles about
Rotary were first published in the weekly bulletin of the Rotary
Club of North Stockton, California, U.S.A. That was well before
their author, Cliff Dochterman, became president of Rotary International
for the year 1992-93.
Originally called "Did
Ya Know?" the pieces were prepared to share interesting
facts about Rotary International with members of the North Stockton
club. Later, in response to requests from other Rotary clubs,
the articles were reprinted in collected form. Now, President
Cliff has brought the collection up to date in keeping with one
of the emphases of his year in office as RI president-to help
Rotarians learn more about the colorful history of their organization,
its customs and traditions, and the current status of its global
programs.
The articles may be reprinted
in Rotary club bulletins or presented as Rotary information at
weekly club meetings. (text
