Inspiring Keynote
RI President Gary Huang’s keynote speech at the Sydney Convention was truly moti- vating. It has rekindled the spark within us and has encouraged us to Light up Rotary.

Thoughts from leaders
RI Director P.T. Prabhakar has his own wonderful ways to explain the things in every field which deserves all appreciations. Youth is our today’s investment which will definitely profit us in future. He says, “Youth are not useless. They are used less. Youth are not careless. They are cared less.” The ideas are quite appreciable. Further he added, “If we cannot prepare our future for the youth, let us prepare our youth for the future.” So every club should follow the above ideas and should care for the youth and try to make them useful to themselves and to society because our youth is our tomorrow. This is the only way we can contribute to “Light up Rotary.”
I request RI Director P.T. Prabhakar to throw light on 4-Way Test so that Rotarians are enlightened about Rotary more and in a better way.

I am a regular reader of Rotary News. I find all articles very interesting. You have covered three generations of Rotarians. Why not consider members who have come across from Interact to Rotaract to Rotary. RI Director Prabhakar’s words in his message, ‘First Thought’ are motivating for members.

I have been reading Rotary News for more than 14 years, and I am of the opinion that there is no match for it with any other magazine. ‘First Thought’ is really impressive and the article, ‘Marching towards Total Literacy’ educative and informative. Article on the life history of our RI President Gary C.K. Huang made an interesting read.

Well Written
The articles in August 2014 issue are interesting, especially ‘Bringing more hands to serve’ and ‘Lighting up Minds through Literacy.’ ‘Around the Districts’ which highlights the service projects done by various clubs will surely motivate new members.

Poor sanitation has often been described as India’s failure that needs immediate attention and I congratulate Rotary Club of Silchar, RI District 3240, for their initiative to curb the issue of open defecation.

Need of the hour
The holistic thought ‘Listen to the crying of your soul’ gives the real picture of the present day, where man is running behind the money. The words, “Peace is discovered when yearning gains precedence over earning” is thought-provoking.

E-clubs
I refer to the article ‘Hybrid E-Clubs’ in August issue. Many Rotarians make up their attendance through e-club facility when they are out of their city of residence. No doubt, the core of Rotary such as friendship and fellowship is missed there.
