"If you have the love of your fellow men in your hearts, my friends, you are a potential Rotarian.”

On June 27, 1933, Rotary founder Paul Harris gave a live radio broadcast at the convention in Boston, MA. Near the end of his talk, Harris noted that Rotary is a way of live and the world is full of potential Rotarians.
