ROTARY TESTIMONIAL

Abraham I. Gordon

[law — attorney]. Director, Rotary International, 1998-2000. Member of the Rotary Club of Bridgeport, Connecticut, U.S.A.

I am a Rotarian because:

I believe in the worth and dignity of every human being. Yet I see around me, whether in my home community or elsewhere in the world, people who are hungry, illiterate, frightened, ill, and unable to care for themselves.

I believe in the admonition that “He who saves a single life saves the world entire.” Yet I see more hands reaching out for help than I can touch alone.  Hands, which if touched by the gift of caring and help, can add to betterment of our society.  I believe that as we reach out to help a person in need, we help ourselves the most. We enjoy great personal satisfaction in seeing a helpless person become a productive member of society.

I believe that a person who is literate, well-fed, healthy, and earning sufficient to care for his family is less likely to seek aggression, whether war or crime, as a solution to his problems.  I believe that each person who can, should reach out to help another. But I also believe that a great deal more good can be achieved by many people working in concert with each other.

I believe that Rotary International stands in a unique  position in our society as an organization which has the capacity, intention, and ability to reach those in need, working toward world understanding and peace. I believe that Rotarians are individuals who care about each other and all people of the world. I believe Rotarians have the  compassion, caring, understanding, willingness, and ability to make a difference in our world.

For these reasons, I believe Rotary International and  Rotarians do make a difference in our world society. For these reasons, I am a Rotarian.
