Doug shared the story of how Rotary go the idea of the Magic of Rotary message. Urchick,our Rotary President a member of the Rotary Club of McMurray, Pennsylvania, USA, said she saw the magic of Rotary on display when she was helping install water filters in the Dominican Republic.
Two boys were watching as dirty water entered the filter, then ran out clean at the other end. One of the boys grabbed my sleeve and said, ‘Show me the magic again,’” she said. “Obviously, the water filter wasn’t magic. We worked hard to transport those filters, install them, and work with community leaders in the area to maintain them. But those boys knew that easy access to clean water would change their lives.
The Magic of Rotary emphasizes the idea that by working together, Rotarians can perform "magic" in their communities, bringing hope and joy to those in need.
