The Rotary Club of Chiang Mai North Issue 18 boasts 33 members and represents a wide cross section of the local June 2012 community which embraces the Rotary Motto: Service Above Self. 2012 2012 2012 June is Rotary Fellowship month 20122012 Fellowship is one of the core values of Rotary. June is Rotary Fellowships month. It is when groups of Rotarians, Rotarians’ spouses and Rotaractors join together to share a common interest in worthwhile recreational activities such as hobbies, sports etc. It is a good opportunity to further our vocational development through acquaintance with others of the same profession and explore new opportunities for service. WORLD FELLOWSHIP ACTIVITIES Throughout the wide world of Rotary, many members share similar hobbies, recreational activities and avocations. Rotarians with common interests are encouraged to establish groups, called World Fellowship Activities, or Inter- national Fellowships, to promote friendship and share their special leisure time experiences. One of the pioneer fellowship groups, the International Golfing Fellow- ship, has held an annual gathering and golf tournament for the past 26 years in various cities of the world. Many of the fellowships promote their activity at colorful booths set up at Rotary's annual international convention. Some popular World Fellowship Activities are flying, amateur radio; stamp collecting, music, yachting, caravanning, skiing, tennis and travel. More unusual "fellowships" involve Rotarians interested in genealogy, recreational vehicles, curling, tree planting, home exchange, railroading, tape recording and roaming.
