Recently, Rotarians from all corners of the world gathered in Chicago to represent their districts and consider changes to the policies that govern Rotary International and its member clubs. The Council on Legislation also has a social dimension ─ connecting Rotarians and giving them opportunities to make friends, share ideas, and gain a better understanding of different perspectives.
Among other things, the Council showcases the passion many Rotarians have for their clubs and for Rotary. We took the opportunity to ask a few of the representatives why they joined Rotary, and what excites them about being a Rotarian. The video above is a sampling of their responses.
Tell us what excites you about Rotary in the comments section below.

I am excited that in Rotary there are so many members who are change-makers and difference-makers. And I am excited that these talented members are willing and committed to lead and work together with all Rotarians for a just and peaceful world for all people.
I am excited to be part of a new RAG — Rotarian Action Group for Peace where many members with a passion for a peace have joined together to fulfill the Rotary mission to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace and to address a major area of focus – peace and conflict prevention/resolution. Let us be PEACE-MAKERS and PEACE-BUILDERS
The keys words are ROTARIAN ACTION and PEACE. in June, we will see you in Lisbon for the RI Convention in June. For now please visit our web site and consider joining our RAG for Peace – http://www.rotarianactiongroupforpeace.org. Thank You all for your service to humanity.

As a Rotarian I am part of an organization that is making a difference in not only my community but all over the world. I could not have such a wide-spread impact alone. I have met many wonderful people and made great friendships along the way.

During 32 years of Rotary life, my most significant discovery is that Rotary is a wonderful world of fellowship and genuine friendship, which have touched my life. Rotary has taught me how an ordinary citizen from a small town can be a world citizen. Rotary is indeed wonderful. Rotary develops confidence and skill in public communication. – Sk Abdul Hadi, R C Khulna North, RID 3280

I am most excited about Rotary when I see the amazing quantity and quality of great service projects which no one could imagine doing by individually – especially PolioPlus!
