RIPresident'sMessage–Nov2019
RotaryDayattheUnitedNations,whichwecelebrateeachNovember,
isan importantreminderof the historicrelationshipbetweenour
organizations. But this year’s event is even more important than
usual, because we are building up to the 75th anniversary of the
signingoftheUNCharterinJune2020.
You might ask, why celebrate this anniversary? For Rotary, it is
entirely appropriate, because we played such a criticalleadership
roleintheSanFranciscoConferencethatformedtheUnitedNations
in1945.ThroughoutWorldWarII,Rotarypublishedmaterialsabout
theimportanceofformingsuchanorganizationtopreserveworld
peace.
NotonlydidRotaryhelpinluencetheformationoftheUN,butthis
magazinealsoplayedaleadingpartincommunicatingitsideals.Rotaryeducatedmembersaboutplans
tocreatetheUNthroughnumerousarticlesinTheRotarianandthroughabooklettitledFromHere
On!WhenthetimecametowritetheUNcharter,Rotarywasoneof42organizationstheUnitedStates
invitedtoserveasconsultantstoitsdelegationattheSanFranciscoConference.
Eachorganizationhad seats forthreerepresentatives,so RotaryInternational’s 11representatives
servedinrotation.ThepeopleoficiallyrepresentingRotaryincludedthegeneralsecretary,thecurrent
andseveralpastpresidents,andtheeditorofTheRotarian.Inaddition,RotariansfromAfrica,Asia,
Australia,Europe,andNorthandSouthAmericaservedasmembersoforconsultantstotheirown
nations’delegations.
WehaveadeepandlastingrelationshipwiththeUNthatdeservestobecelebratedandappreciated.To
recognizethisrelationship,RotarywillhostivespecialeventsbetweennowandJune:RotaryDayatthe

Paris,andinRome;andainalcelebrationjustbeforetheRotaryInternationalConventioninHonolulu.
ThefocusontheUNintheyearaheadisnotonlyaboutthepast;italsolightsapathtoourfuture.There
aresomanyparallelsbetweentheworkwedothroughourareasoffocusandtheworkoftheUN
Sustainable Development Goals. While those goals are indeed incredibly ambitious, they provide
