President K.R. “Ravi” Ravindran and Vanathy

District 5360 Presentation| 3

• President Ravi has said that our time is finite and is always shorter than one thinks. How do we want to spend it? Will we give of ourselves to others so that the world will be richer because we passed through it or will we spend our time in stringing and unstringing our instruments so that the song we came to sing remains unsung!

• He said that the glory of Rotary is that it helps us find a way to help us sing that song , it guides us on a path to living richer more meaningful lives by encouraging us to focus on the things that matter and helping each one of us to find our own way to Be a Gift to the World.

• Everyone of us has something to give , whoever we are and whatever our place in life. We can give our knowledge , our talent , our abilities and our effort. We can give our dedication and devotion. Through Rotary we can take these gifts and make a genuine difference in the lives of others in the World.

• Our time has come – it will never come again.
