                               RESOLUTION


 
Recognizing Rotary International for 105 years of service to the world 
     and commending members on their dedication to the mission and 
                   principles of their organization.

Whereas the mission of Rotary International is to provide service to others, 
        promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace 
        through its fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders;
Whereas Rotary International, founded in 1905, in Chicago, Illinois, is the 
        world's first service club and one of the largest nonprofit service 
        organizations;
Whereas there are more than 1,200,000 Rotary International club members 
        comprised of professional, community, and business leaders in more than 
        34,000 clubs in over 200 countries and geographical areas;
Whereas the Rotary International motto, ``Service Above Self'', inspires members 
        to provide humanitarian service, meet high ethical standards, and 
        promote international goodwill and peace;
Whereas Rotary International promotes international understanding through 
        scholarships, exchange programs, humanitarian grants, and service 
        projects;
Whereas annual dues from members worldwide help finance Rotary programs and 
        service opportunities that are designed to help Rotarians meet the needs 
        of their own communities and assist people worldwide;
Whereas the core values of Rotary International are service, fellowship, 
        diversity, integrity, and leadership; and
Whereas the Four-Way Test of Rotary International promotes universal values and 
        asks the following questions, ``Of the things we think, say or do: Is it 
        the truth?; Is it fair to all concerned?; Will it build goodwill and 
        better friendships?; and Will it be beneficial to all concerned?'': Now, 
        therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives recognizes Rotary 
International for 105 years of service to the world and commends 
members on their dedication to the mission and principles of their 
organization.
