Awards
Dear friend George,
I received a copy of your speech and I was truly impressed. I congratulate
you warmly, you personally, but I ask you to also communicate my congratulations
to the other members of your Club for your vast humanistic deeds.
I am sure that you consistute a unique case of a Rotary Club with
such methodic and organized activities in all fields. You are an example
worthy of mimicking and great praise. Presidents like you and Clubs
like yours honour truly the Rotary.
As an elected President of a young Club (we just celebrated two years
since its foundation), along with the members of our Club, we have
all the good will to make every possible effort to reciprocate to
the obligations of a Rotary Club, but we do not have the experience
nor the organization of your Club and your successes look to us, for
the time being, as an elusive dream. It is alright, though. Dreaming
is not bad. Maybe some day this dream will come true. This is the
main reason why I thank you for the speech you sent to me. I will
read it to our Club, because I believe it can become a source of inspiration
for each and everyone of us and a motivation to our high aims.
It is truly a great pleasure meeting you and I am sure we will meet
again sometime in the future to know each other better. Taking advantage
of this chance, I would like to suggest something to you. Because
we are a young Club and we do not yet have rotarian education, which
I think is a necessary condition for the success of a Club's aims,
I intent to invite old rotarians for a series of lectures of relevant
content in the following rotarian period. It would be a great pleasure
for me and an honour for our Club if you could come some Tuesday in
the next session of my presidency as an invited guest to our Club,
in the boundaries of this "Rotarian Briefing" of our members.
Our meetings take place at hotel "Mati", in the homonymous
suburb of Nea Makri, above the sea, in which you will sojourn. I would
ask from you, provided that you accept my proposition, to suggest
to me a date that would be convenient for you, so as to put it in
the year schedule, which I intend to organize at this moment.
Again, I thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.
Wirh rotarian friendship,
Dimitris Kantzavelos
Elected President of the Rotary Club of Nea Makri
