The wonderful partnership between Dolly Parton and Rotary International continues to flourish in communities both large and small all across the USA, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
Although every community approaches the program in its own way, one thing impresses me much more than dollars raised or even time invested –and this is the enormous influence Rotarians exert in their communities..

On many occasions, we have witnessed how Rotarians use their influence to leverage support from both the public and private sector. Rotarians bring instant credibility to the table and consequently, local, state and provincial governments are eager to join forces with Rotary and Dolly to bring the Imagination Library to their children. Likewise many Rotary clubs have been successful in teaming up with United Way to launch the program in their communities.
Influence is an earned commodity and we are fortunate that the decades of good will and great work of Rotary now benefits the children of the Imagination Library.
It is always a very important occasion the induction of a new member to our club. Last Monday our President Marg Perkin inducted John Burns to Rotary International as a member of Coolamon Rotary. John is the Head Master at the Coolamon Central School and we also welcome Val, John’s wife, to our family of Rotary. PP Ian Durham will introduce John to the ways of Rotary and we wish John a long and mutually rewarding association with our club and Rotary International.
Here are a few of the bulletins that we receive each week from other clubs enjoy:
Arthur Frederick Sheldon, the Rotarian whose convention speech inspired Rotary’s secondary motto, One Profits Most Who Serves Best.
“I believe – –
That we are living in a scientific age, one in which all lines of useful effort are rapidly becoming reduced to a scientific basis.
That we are living in an age of the survival of the fittest.
That it means more to be fit today than it did ten years ago.
That it will mean more to be fit ten years from now than it does today.
That we are living in a commercial age, and that commerce or business is a science.
That a science is simply classified common sense based upon proper seeing, grasping, comparing and recording of facts,
That a profession is a Science practiced.
That the science of business is the science of service, he profits most who serves best.”
Rotarian Arthur Sheldon at the Chicago Convention in 1910.
