Ruth Carlos Martinez is incapacitated today but asked me to deliver her Reflection. Unfortunately Ruth damaged her leg while helping out at the WASH RAG at RICON
"A gathering of people is an expression of life - as the recent RI Convention exemplified. This revealed where Rotarians from all over the world make a positive impact in people's lives - physically, materially and emotionally.
Most Rotarians have contentment in their personal lives but step out to SHARE that gift of life.
In this perplexing world there are trials, but we Rotarians recognise that life is a gift that offers us the opportunity to now give something back. And we become who we ultimately are, by becoming more - persons of caring and compassion who continue to make a positive difference.
So, embrace life and what it offers and be a sharer."
Thank you Ruth Carlos Martinez
