Comments from our guests and members
Members and guests attending our weekly meetings are very important to us. Based on your comments we are able to produce many more educational, inspiring, and entertaining weekly meetings.
Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?
October 8. Great to see the articles on Micro-Finance, especially the clip from Kiva. I personally have made 537 micro-finance loans through Kiva and am thrilled to see this club following suit.
-- Patrick Gibson, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
October 13. The video about AI brought up a number of concerns that people have about AI. It is coincidental that the "Godfather of AI, Geoffrey Hinton" was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics and he is also concerned about fears that AI "could trigger lethal autonomous weapons, discrimination, unemployment, misinformation and even the demise of humanity."

Although Rotary’s early focus was on fellowship and business networking, members soon incorporated the elements of service. In 1906, Donald M. Carter proposed an amendment to the club bylaws: “An organization that is wholly selfish cannot last long. If we, as a Rotary Club, expect to survive and grow, we must do some things to justify our existence. We must perform a civic service.” (Page 32)
Even though Paul Harris wrote in 1911 that “Rotary is entirely without precedent in the history of clubdom,” he later learned that his idea was not entirely original. A social club based on a similar vocational classification system had been organized in London, England, 200 years before Rotary’s founding in 1905. It was also similar to the classification-based Junto, established in 18th century Philadelphia by U.S. scientist-philosopher Benjamin Franklin. (Page 31)
“While the first five issues (of The National Rotarian) each showed a loss, the sixth issue showed a profit of US$63 and the last two issues showed a profit of $777… made possible (in part) by the very generous advertising support given by the members of the Philadelphia and Duluth Rotary Clubs … Our magazine, however, is still in a more or less experimental stage.” (Annual report of Secretary Charley R. Perry, 1912. A Century of Service, Page 49.)
