1,200,000 members,
35,000 clubs worldwide;
197 countries in world.
Rotary seems to have clubs in all but nine countries: Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Turkmenistan, Tuvalu, Marshall Islands, Uzbekistan, Yemen & Vatican.
If we propose a toast to ONE Club each meeting say 45 meetings per year, that would take us around 777 .7 years.
Five clubs per meeting would only take us 155 years.
If a toast is proposed each week to one club from each country, that will only take us four+ years.
But this just goes to show how massive Rotary International is, and we are part of it.
So tell your business associates, clients, friends, police officers, nurses just what sort of an organization we are part of. And tell them of the wonderful things we do worldwide.
So today, toast the organization we are proudly a part of.
