One more reason I am a Rotarian - this article really struck home with me. Here's and excerpt but if you read the whole article I think you will find out one more reason why being a Rotarian is important to me. John Pohl
"A few years back, an epidemic of public contrition erupted. Parents began apologizing to children. Athletes began apologizing to fans. Corporations began apologizing to shareholders. Journalists began apologizing to readers. Politicians began apologizing to everyone under the sun, including long-dead victims of oppression and injustice. This did the victims no good, but to many people, including descendants of the victims, it seemed like a very nice gesture. After all, it was the thought that counted.
