Rotary Coordinator Mary Berge, a member of the Rotary Club of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, USA was recently featured on the Rotary voices blog. Mary writes:
“Did you know that people are more interested in the “why” than the “how?”
This applies strongly to Rotary membership. It’s far less interesting how you became a Rotarian than why you became, and why you remain, a Rotarian.
I became a Rotarian because of my innate character to give. I am, by nature, altruistic and I believe in doing the right thing (even when no one is looking). In a nut shell, I feel good when I’m helping others. I remain in Rotary because I feel good when I’m helping others.”
