A wonderful way to tell the Rotary story has actually just been released by singer, song writer, motivational speaker and guest speaker for our District Conference in April, Jerry Mills from Marquette, Michigan. Jerry along with Rotarian and digital storyteller, Bob Gallagher, from Windsor, Ontario, have created an amazing music video called “Come Join Us”. Jerry said he was inspired by the work of Rotarians from around the world and wrote a song to honor all Rotarians for the great work we do all over the world for those less fortunate than us. This song was debuted at the Central States Rotary Youth Exchange Summer Conference in Grand Rapids, Michigan this past July and was an instant hit with Rotary International President, Ray Klinginsmith. At his request, the song was professionally recorded and produced in Nashville, Tennessee and will serve as a new theme for Rotary International’s Awareness Campaign.
The music video is available on the Rotary International website and has been translated into all the major languages. I invite you to view the video at http://www.vimeo.com/17540224 and share it with others. If you’d like to download the video, you may do so at http://www.jerrymills.com/rotary/.
From 6220 President, Steven Selvick
