Rotary IS:
For over 100
years Rotary has been a non-religious, non-political organization of people
dedicated to making their communities and the world a better place through acts
of charity, fellowship, and service. Today the men and women of Rotary are
united by a commitment to truth, fairness, building goodwill, and a desire for
mutual success. For tomorrow we see hope in a drop of vaccine, a jug of clean
water, and a handshake that reaches around the world.
----------------------------
The
Rotary Wheel
Around the
hub of fellowship is built the wheel of Rotary,
with spokes reaching out like hands to people of all lands.
Shoulder to shoulder we stand, hands clasped in mutual helpfulness;
bound by an encircling golden band.
"Service Above Self"
is the power that makes the Rotary wheel go around,
blending personalities and binding nationalities."
The Rotary emblem, unchanged since
1924, was redesigned many times in the early years of the organization before
its formal approval by the Board in 1924. For more information, open http://www.rotary.org/en/MediaAndNews/News/Pages/100817_news_history.aspx

Bill Whealan, Deputy Fire Chief City of Hemet,
spoke to us about the condition of the Fire Department in the City. He is
the interim Fire Chief until one is found and/or a decision is made by the City
as to who will me the Permanent Chief. To be very brief, the Fire
Department is hurting. in 2010 there were 18 classes/classifications of
Firemen, which is now reduced to 9. There were 5 Fire Stations, now
reduced to 4. There is a $4,000,000 cut in funds. From the
standpoint of what they do for our citizens: First the cost per person in the
city is $8.44/month. It is well know that there is a 10 minute window of life
before a person's brain starts to die. The Department has a 7 minute
response time goal. There is little now with the present economy, other
than a "Safer Grant - Emergency" for $2,260,000 which only last 2
years. And to help the situation, the City Firemen took a voluntary salary
decrease. So In spite of all these problems,Bill spoke very highly about the
personnel and that they were a Lean & Mean Department. So Thank You to
all our City Firemen who work hard for us.
