It is my pleasure to be elected Chairman of our Fellowship for 2006-07 and I am indebted to our dedicated committee of historians and researchers who continuously gather and assemble Rotary’s vast and rich history, right here on the web.

I also extend an invitation to all Rotarians to come and join the Rotary Global History Fellowship and contribute to this dynamic project.

We live in the present, we dream of the future, But we learn from the past.
