Volume 16 Issue 5 The CENTRO Page 5 August 19, 2016 August 19, 2016 I n v o c a t i o n We thank you Lord for this Rotary meeting. We invoke your blessings on this meeting and all who grace it with their presence. Be with us this day and always by strengthening our belief to take action. A belief shared by all Rotarians to get involved in their communities and use their skills to help others. This prayer we make in Jesus name, Amen. OBJECT OF ROTARY The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster: FIRST: The development of acquaintance as an opportuni- ty for service; SECOND: High ethical standards in business and profes- sions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupa- tions; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society; THIRD: The application of the ideal of service in each Ro- tarian’s personal, business, and community life; FOURTH: The advancement of international understand- ing, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of busi- ness and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

Volume 16 Issue 5 The CENTRO Page 7 August 19, 2016 August 19, 2016 President’s Message Dear Centro Ladies, I looked up how Rotary Club was defined and what is means by reading books and surfing Rotary online sites. However it is defined, it always comes out with one single thought, as how Attorney Paul P. Harris, founder of The Rotary Club has explained it: “Rotary Club” is an international service organization whose stated purpose is to bring together business and professional leaders in order to provide humanitarian services, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. It is a secular organization open to all persons regardless of race, colour, creed, religion, gender, or political preference. With this we established the Rotary's pri- mary motto "Service above Self"; and an earlier motto, "One profits most who serves best”.(Source: Rotary International website). Upon reading this I was filled with thoughts and a question: Am I really serving as a Rotarian, with all its great purpose? As Rotarians, regardless of how we stand in our individual clubs, it is important that we find some time to look into ourselves and determine our purpose -- why we are part of this organiza- tion? In the end, I have the confidence that whatever hardships and hindrances that will come in our way, our sincerity and devo- tion to serve “The Rotary Way” will always prevail. Yours in Rotary, All Star President Evs Laranga Page 8 The CENTRO Volume 16 Issue 5 August 19, 2016 District 3820 RI District 3820 News & Updates INTERNATIONAL COASTAL CLEANUP DAY RID 3820 To ALL STAR TEAM: Please be reminded that our International Coastal Cleanup Day is on Sept. 17, 2016!

Volume 16 Issue 5 The CENTRO Page 11 August 19, 2016 August 19, 2016 ROTARY INTERNATIONAL News & Updates Owori's chief concerns as a Rotary leader are membership and exten- sion. Since he served as district governor, the number of clubs in Uganda has swelled from nine to 89. He urges past, present, and fu- ture leaders to work together to engage more women, youth program participants, alumni, and community members to increase Rotary's membership in the coming years.
