The same applies to our <strong>Rotary</strong> Foundation. It is like a space station. Like the astronauts, each of<br />
us has helped to build it, to make it grow, to move continuously, and to progress. Each of you is a<br />
pilot, a researcher, a team leader, the reason behind our Foundation’s destiny, and the architect of<br />
its future. Through it we can do greater good in the world, we can help, we can improve the quality<br />
of people’s lives, and we can create a world of peace and harmony.<br />
As Rotarians and the leaders of your districts in the coming year, you are responsible for motivating<br />
Rotarians to make the contributions needed to sustain the growth of our Foundation. You are<br />
like astronauts who will make our Foundation soar ever higher and fulfill its ongoing mission to do<br />
good in the world.<br />
So, my friends, to celebrate the Future Vision Plan, I invite you to step inside the rocket that will<br />
carry you to the “<strong>International</strong> Space Station” that is our <strong>Rotary</strong> Foundation.<br />
You will feel the roar of the rockets. Are you ready for launch?<br />
Countdown: 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . ignition . . . LIFTOFF!<br />
My dear friends: As Rotarians, we can use our new Foundation to do greater good in the world.<br />
We celebrate the launching of our Future Vision Plan, with each of us contributing our effort,<br />
work, and commitment to ensure the continued progress of <strong>Rotary</strong>, its Foundation, and all mankind.<br />
I am confident you all will succeed.<br />
