THOUGHTS TO PONDER AND THE HISTORY OF ROTARY

Benefactor. Honor our legacy by supporting the Four Avenues of Service. Honor our legacy by attendance at district meetings and district conference. Honor our legacy by living the Four Way Test. Honor our legacy by helping build the future with action and vision. Honor our legacy and show the world that District 6580 Rotarians care Terry Frey is the 65th man to serve as district governor. Peggy Peter in 1999-2000 will be the 68th governor, but the first female. Of the 64 past district governors, 42 are deceased and eighteen continue to be members of clubs in our district. In addition to John Napier Dyer, two other PDGs went on to serve at headquarters: A.E. "King" Cole from Bloomington, governor of District 20 in 1937-38 subsequently served on the Rotary board and V. Dewey Annakin of Terre Haute, governor of District 226 in 1950-51, became a vice-president of R.I. including Terry Frey from North Vernon, 24 clubs have provided district governors. Bloomington leads the way with 9, followed by Evansville and Terre Haute with 6 each and New Albany and Vincennes with 5 apiece. Eight clubs have yet to provide a DG, with Jeffersonville, chartered in 1920 and Rising Sun chartered in 1933 being the two oldest. The newest club to provide a governor is Martinsville, chartered in 1980 -- Of course they gave us "Conan The Rotarian". Clubs in our district have been generous supporters of our Rotary Foundation. As of 31 December 1996, we had a total of 982 Paul Harris Fellows, 148 Sustaining Members and 92 Benefactors. At last years international convention in Calgary, PDG Bill Cunningham was one of only 31 DGs honored for achieving 75 new Benefactors. All time giving in our district is about $1.3 million. Governor Terry has asked us to honor our legacy. At the end of Rotary year 1912-13 -- when a group of men with vision were taking action in Terre Haute to build for the future by starting the first club in this district -- there were 50 Rotary clubs with a total membership of 5,000. By the year 1915-16 when clubs were first grouped into districts, there were 20,700 members in 186 clubs. Today there are almost 1.2 million members in 28,284 clubs in 155 countries grouped into 518 districts. Paul Harris obviously had much more than a vision. Honor our legacy by inviting someone to join your club. Remember you are here because someone cared enough to ask you to join. Honor our legacy by supporting our foundation -- PDG Orphie Bridges did. From Columbus, Orphie served as our 55th governor in 1986-87, when I was my club president. Long before he became governor, through his love for our foundation and his action and vision, his club led the way in foundation support. Honor our legacy, and men of action and vision like Orphie, by becoming a Paul Harris Fellow and a
