What makes Rotary so special?  Why do Rotarians give so much with so little outward recognition? You never see a hospital, school, or stadium displaying the Rotary Emblem, or "Rotary's" name.  There is a reason for that, which can be so fittingly expressed in just  99 words, when Past  President Hal Cornish had them included in the Marshall "Rotary Reporter" February 23, 1988.  They are as true today as they were then. Thank you for reminding us of this truth Hal:
 
A true Rotarian is not a builder of monuments of brick and stone.
 
If we work upon marble it will perish, if we work on brass time will device it, if we erect temples they will crumble into ruins, but if we work upon immortal minds, if we imbue them with the full meaning of the spirit of Rotary as expressed in our Objects and with just fear of God and love of fellow man, we are engraving on those tablets something that will brighten all eternity and make Rotary an immortal force, so long as civilization shall endure.
