Rotarian Five Stars

Every time that I try to imagine the profile of a Rotarian that executes with exceptional performance a project granted by The Rotary Foundation, or one that promotes successful fund raising campaigns, or one that personally contributes to one of the existing funds, comes to my mind the attributes of a Rotarian that can be called a Rotarian Five Stars.

Which are these attributes? Let us see some of them:

Arrives smiling on every week meetings of the club, greets everyone and transmit to them good vibrations;

Every member of the club likes to sit on his or her table, because he or she always have a proactive observation to make and always an interesting story to tell;

When the club is idealizing a project he or she has always a constructive idea to contribute to this project effectiveness;

Never look for positions. Is aspired to occupy them because his or her performance on any position he or she exerted;

Acquired the pleasure of giving and also to serve;

Articulates well the ideas and relates them easily to rules and procedures of Rotary and its Foundation with great knowledge derived from studies of them;

Is always available to help in a friendly way, without trying to impose his or her opinion;

Can easily make a friend from a Rotarian, understanding that it is more difficult to make a Rotarian from a friend;

Hears with great interest and can put himself or herself in the position of whom he or she is talking to with great empathy;

Try to use his talents to do every time better, even those traditional projects that the club is involved, with the certainty that by doing that, someone’s life will be better; Propagates on his or her circle of influence a positive image of Rotary, describing with a proper speech the completed projects of Rotary;

Certainly you know some Rotarian that have some or the majority of these attributes and you may have most of them yourself. Every day more Rotary needs this kind of Rotarian. Look between the professsionals that you are related with who have them and try to convince this person to join Rotary, by participating on a Rotary project and in sequence participating in a Rotary club meetings.

Analyze these attributes and see which one of them you need to improve to do a better job together with the other members of your club to change it to become a Five Stars Club confirming how sure was your sponsor to choose you, trying always to be a Five Stars Rotarian.
