To all Rotarians in District 3860

Dear Fellow Rotarians,

          I am grateful for this opportunity to extend my best wishes to all of you, Rotarians, families and friends, that have made Rotary what it is today and what it will be in the future.

          Although Rotary has been steadily moving forward for more than 97 years, I would say, that we have barely scratched the surface. During 2002-03, we must do all that we can, and I think that this is especially important in the area of international service. Our unique structure of independent, community-based clubs united by shared Rotarian values is ideally suited to tackle global problems. When we reach across borders and oceans to collaborate on international service projects, we turn strangers into friends. And a world filled with friends is a world filled with love and that is why I am calling on all the Rotarians worldwide to always Sow the Seeds of Love.

          Every act of service we perform is like a seed, growing a bountiful crop of love throughout our world. May your continued commitment help your club and your community grow stronger and reap the bountiful harvest of your service. Let us go forth in 2002-03, and Sow the Seeds of Love.

Sincerely,
