Century of Service : The Story of Rotary International

The spirit of service is alive and well in the 21st century. Just look at Rotary International--a nonprofit organization of 1.2 million members in more than 165 countries dedicated to improving the human condition. In an increasingly complex and impersonal world, Rotarians remain committed to helping their communities--and the world beyond. Who are the men and women behind the world's premier service organization? A "Century of Service" goes beyond the mere chronicling of the names, dates, and programs that represent Rotary's first 100 years. Rather, it succeeds in bringing to life the philosophy and commitment to service that empower Rotarians around the globe. This volume contains a motivational "string of pearls" that describes how ordinary people have accomplished the extraordinary.
