“My wife and I were very impressed with Rotary’s work in eradicating Polio and the fact that Bill Gates (Microsoft Founder) was prepared to donate millions of US dollars and put his trust in Rotary”

“I particularly warmed to the understanding that Rotarians recognised the priority of family, business and then Rotary in that order”

“I was attracted to Rotary’s international reputation and the twinning with the Dutch rotary club of Heerlen”
