Rotary: the hall mark of International reach

The hallmark of Rotary, which differentiate us from other service organisations are the service delivery capability, International reach, commitment to the organisation, high ethical standards and the spirit of fellowship, said former Colombo West Rotary Club President Shan Shanmuganathan at the Gala Banquet Dinner hosted to Rotary International President Ray Klinginsmith at the Hotel Galadari, Colombo recently.

'The speakers billed to talk after me are best suited to talk about this subject, the spirit of fellowship is the one which bonds the organisation and enables us to handle the service projects in collective manner' this function today represents that spirit. I also talked of commitment to Rotary,' Shanmuganathan said.

Shanmuganadan emphasised that a Rotary International President visiting Sri Lanka is not something new. We have always had Rotary International Presidents visiting us every three or four years, and the last visit was in 2008.

What is important with this visit is that an Rotary International President is visiting Sri Lanka for the first time after peace has dawned to the island and when he visits Jaffna, it is after 30 years that Rotary International President would be visiting Jaffna or for that matter he is free to visit any part of the country without restriction.

Rotary has always done projects across the country, however due to the war the situation did not permit officials of Rotary to visit the project sites and inspect.

We are indeed privileged by the visit of Rotary International President Ray and thankful to him that he agreed to attend this Banquet despite his busy schedule, Shanmuganathan said.

Rotary International President Ray joined the Rotary movement 50 years ago and is the present leader. Around the time President Ray joined Rotary, a Rotary Club was also formed in Sri Lanka, Rotary Club of Colombo West, of which I am a member, Shanmuganathan added.
