R.I. PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

There was once a strong young man who was offered a job as a woodcutter.
He set about his task with energy: The first week, he turned 18 trees into
firewood. The second week, he worked just as hard, but was surprised to find
he had chopped only 11 trees. The third week, despite working nonstop from
morning till night, the number was six, and he went despairingly to the
foreman to offer his resignation.
"I am losing my strength. I can no longer cut as many trees as I once
could."The foreman looked at the young man, who seemed to him in fine
health. "Have you thought of sharpening your ax?" he asked. "Sharpen my ax?
R.I. President
Who has time to sharpen an ax?" the young man asked indignantly. "I have
Rtn. K.R.Ravindran
been too busy chopping wood!"
The foreman looked at the young man, who seemed to him in fine health. "Have you thought of
sharpening your ax?" he asked."Sharpen my ax? Who has time to sharpen an ax?" the young man
asked indignantly. "I have been too busy chopping wood!"
When we aren't making the kind of progress we feel we should be making, the natural response
is to redouble our efforts. Sometimes, though, the better response is not to work harder, but to work
smarter. Look at your tools. Analyze your processes. Are you directing your resources in the most
effective ways? Or are you pouring all your strength into chopping wood with a dull ax?
For the last 20 years, we have relentlessly beaten the drum of membership in Rotary. We set
goals and launch campaigns, all focused on bringing in more and more members. And yet, our overall
numbers remain the same.
It is time to sharpen our tools. Instead of focusing on the question, "How can we bring more
members into Rotary?" we should be asking ourselves, "How can we add more value to Rotary
membership, so that more will join and fewer will leave?" One way we are doing that is with the
new Rotary Global Rewards program, which launched in July. This innovative program allows
Rotarians to connect with, and receive discounts and concessions from, businesses and service
providers around the world. Individual Rotarians may submit their own business to be included
alongside those with which Rotary has already negotiated relationships; the most appropriate
offers will be added to the listings. We have also created the option of allowing businesses to
return a percentage of their profit on each transaction to our Rotary Foundation, and several
companies have already been locked into this part of the scheme. Each month we will update the
list with additional offers that we may receive. I urge all of you to try it out by signing up on My
Rotary at Rotary.org now. The more Rotarians participate, the stronger, and more beneficial, the
program will be.
Much more than another loyalty program, Rotary Global Rewards is a new way to benefit
from being a Rotarian, and being part of the Rotary network. It is another way to combine business
and service. And it is yet another way to add value to Rotary membership. We cannot forget that
our potential members will be asking themselves, "What's in it for me?" We need to demonstrate
the value of Rotary by showing that becoming a Rotarian will enrich their lives, as it has ours.

FROM THE HEART OF THE EDITOR

Its my privilege to express few words as the
editor of the trio monthly bulletin of Rotary
Club of Palghar. Its often expressed that,
Rotary is the N.G.O. which offers the
tremendous level of community services, but
fails to project it and highlight it.
Rotary Club of Palghar has done excellent community work
and fellowships in the first three months, under leadership of
Dynamic and learned leader Dr. Sanjay Dange.
The Rotary bulletin is the small attempt to take the community,
work done by the Rotary, to the masses and create Rotary
awareness among them. Distribution of Tree Plant Saplings, Tree
plantation ,Mega Monsoon Cycle Rally to spread message of
TB Bhagao Zindagi Badhao, Mega TB check up Camp, Mega
Medical Camp, are some of the GLIMPSESS of this year of Rotary .
We invite all the valuable suggestion from all the Past
presidents, Social Workers and other N.G.OS. to focus on
Improvement of our basic object Community Services.
May god bless us all !
