Rotarians Respond..
What qualities should President Obama consider in his nominee for Supreme Court Justice?
Not a federal court judge. A woman pragmatist.
Patricia Michael
Non partisan.
Jim Thibodeau
I’d like to see a female with a very clean record with no issues.
Jen Holley
I like somebody who is above politics with a personality similar to Obama’s own. He’s most measured in his thinking.
Ralph Provenza
Someone that has a clue.
Brian Johnasen
I would like to see a change and have a strict constitutionalist.
Tom Paquin
I would like to echo those same sentiments. They should not be making law but following it.

The Main Objective of Rotary is Service
The object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis
of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:
- The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
- High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to service society;
- The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business and community life;
- The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through
a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of
service.
The Rotary motto is: Service Above Self.
Although Rotary clubs develop autonomous service programs, all Rotarians
worldwide are united in a campaign for the
global eradication of polio.
In the 1980s, Rotarians raised US$630 million to immunize the children of the
world; by 2007, Rotary's centenary year and the target date for the
certification of a polio-free world, the
PolioPlus program will have contributed hundreds of millions to this cause.
In addition, Rotary has provided an army of volunteers to promote and assist at
national immunization days in polio-endemic countries around the world.
