I was not in San Diego with Marwan when he completed his training, but I was really there with<br />
him in his story.<br />
Do not believe for a moment that you and I cannot be good storytellers. If you are breathing, you<br />
are a storyteller.<br />
Now imagine what it would be like if every Rotarian in every club is given the opportunity to seek<br />
and share their <strong>Rotary</strong> moments.<br />
Imagine the impact that it could have on attracting new and engaging existing members and<br />
changing lives. Imagine the impact that you as a governor can have in enabling and empowering<br />
others to share their own <strong>Rotary</strong> moments. One governor confided in me that before her official<br />
address to each club, she requested that a club member share his or her <strong>Rotary</strong> moment. She<br />
told me it perfectly set the tone for the meeting and her speech to follow.<br />
My <strong>Rotary</strong> friends, our world yearns for moments of peace and understanding, for moments of<br />
courage and sacrifice, for moments of integrity and leadership, for moments of humanity in service,<br />
and for moments of hope that only you and others can share.<br />
Go now and tell your story!<br />
