Dear Rotary Friends and Guests attending the District 2482 Conference,

Rotary is amazing thing. As we look to the future and work on making Rotary year 2007-08 successful, it is good for us to stop and remind ourselves just how amazing Rotary is. It’s the oldest, most international service organization with 1.2 million members – all of them out there in 32,000-plus clubs that meet every week to try and to do just a little bit more to help others. It is tens of Thousands of projects going on every day, doing just about every kind of useful and creative work you could possible imagine-and then some. It’s all of us out there, doing our best to change the world.

The magic of Rotary is that Rotary allows ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Rotary allows people like you and me-people whose lives revolve around our families, our jobs, and our communities-to reach beyond our daily lives to do, and be, something more. It allows us to open our hearts to people we might never meet, and to share the love that we have for our own communities with communities thousands of miles away, because Rotary is about human beings’ love for other human beings, whoever and wherever they may be. Rotary allows us to express that love, and to share it.

Rotary shares because Rotarians care. Rotary shares because Rotarians know the needs. Rotary shares because Rotarians provide Service Above Self. This year I ask you to focus on what each of you has to share with Rotary: your leadership, your skills, your fellowship and your dedication to making your clubs and your district better and stronger. I ask you all, this year, to share Rotary freely and fully. Work hard, and work with love. And remember that everything you do in service to others is part of the magic of Rotary – the magic that lets ordinary people like you and me do absolutely amazing things.

Wilfrid Wilkinson,
President, Rotary International 2007-08

I am sure that this conference will place the foundations for many important projects and will lead to a successful end what has began and will lead to a better future for Bulgaria and our friends around the world. And because the Rotarian values good will and love, understanding and justice are genuine for the customs of the people in Bulgaria and their spirit.

I welcome you and wish you fruitful service, and remember that Rotary gives opportunity for ordinary people like you and me to do incredible things!
