THE ROTARY CLUB OF OAK BAY


Joan Peggs

Joan Peggs
President
Oak Bay Rotary
2011-2012

A new Rotary year always begins on July 1st. This year, RI President Kalyan Banerjee has asked all Rotarians to 'Reach Within To Embrace Humanity'. In taking this action, President Kalyan hopes we will seek to find a sense of fulfillment in our lives by finding harmony between our inner self (our desire, our will, our spirit) and our outer self (the action taken).

President Kalyan asks that while 'Reaching Within To Embrace Humanity', three areas will be emphasized:

  1. the family – the building blocks of our community; our Club is a family embracing many 'smaller families'
  2. the continuity and strengthening of our Club's areas of service
  3. the importance of and necessity for change – for change to occur it must be 'within ourselves'; our actions and deeds will display this change by our outward activities

As our 'ship' moves forward in the worldwide fleet of Rotary, I am at the helm (as President) but it is 'our ship'; with the help of the officers (the Board) and the crew (the members) 'our ship' will continue to look for change in our 'family', improving our community; 'our ship' will look for and embrace change, both locally and internationally; 'our ship' will continue to work within our community and on the international projects, creating improvement and progress.

New members are welcome.
