One of the basic principles upon which Rotary was founded is fellowship. Where fellowship is lacking, a Club soon gets a reputation among the neighbouring Clubs from whence come most of the visitors as being a "cold" Club. Fellowship is not an assignment which can be delegated to a group called the Fellowship Committee. It is a spirit with which all the members must be imbued which causes them to be interested in their neighbour; interested to the extent that not only are they willing to forego the pleasure of talking about themselves so that he may tell about himself, but in addition they will ask questions which encourage him to do so. A good description of the essence of fellowship is the following, which I have taken from an American publication: Every member should realize that he Has a job he can do in Rotary, Not shoutin' the loudest or singing the best Not tryin' to equal or outdo the rest, Just being your own natural likable self And puttin' your worries way back on the shelf To gather dust as a worthless thing; For in this way you're bound to bring To Rotary meeting your very best, Not just for yourself but for all the rest, It ain't the bigness you got under your hat But the friendship you left in the seat where you sat. -ALEX C.
