Click to Pay your Annual Dues and Dinner Fees Here Now   RI District Conference - Adelaide   March 5-7, 2004 "One Member, One Club, One Rotary" Each great Rotary project and achievement begins with a simple vision.  The idea is born in the heart of ONE person.  Passion follows together with the personal need to "do something about it". Enthusiasm is infections.  In their Rotary Club, the visionary's fellow members catch the fever.  ONE member influences and recruits ONE Club to the cause.  A Rotary project is born. The new project, now resourced by Rotarians, their families and friends blossoms.  The wider community gets on board.  Soon the project wins the attention of the wider Rotary movement.  A Polio-Plus, or a ROMAC is born. From the heart and commitment of ONE member comes the focus of ONE Club.  From the passion and work of ONE Club comes the support of many Clubs and ONE Rotary International. Come to Adelaide in 2004 for a Celebration of Rotary, and some of the very best Rotary Fellowship. Don Jago, District Governor 2003-2004 www.plevin.com.au/rotary9800/ ??? Need more information ???
