Because of
my work in the field of suicide prevention, of almost three decades, I’ve been
honored with a membership in the Rotary International E-Club 2042 Italia. I’m very honored and excited!

What
is Rotary?
Rotary is a worldwide organization of
business and professional leaders that provides humanitarian service,
encourages high ethical standards in all vocations, and helps build goodwill
and peace in the world. Approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than
32,000 clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas.
Who joins Rotary?
Rotarians are business and professional leaders who take an active role in their communities while greatly enriching their personal and professional lives. A Rotary club contains a diverse group of professional leaders from the community that the club serves.
What
are some the values of Rotary and Rotarians?
Rotarians worldwide are inspired by the
Rotary theme of “Service Above Self” and are guided by reference to ‘The
Four-Way Test’. In particular, ‘The Four-Way Test’ challenges Rotarians, in
everything they do, to ask of themselves:
“Of the things we think say or do:
- Is it the TRUTH?
- Is it FAIR to all concerned?
- Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
- Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?"
What are some of the benefits of joining Rotary?
Membership in a Rotary club offers a number of benefits, including:- Effecting change within the community.
- Developing leadership skills.
- Gaining an understanding of — and having an impact on — international humanitarian issues.
- Developing relationships with community and business leaders.
I mainly owe this great honor to Doctor Andrea Salvi of Italy for his nominating me in this process, and to those club members that supported his nomination request. My sincere grazie!
