Rotary Centennial Bell comes to Sri Lanka Rotary International has come up with the concept of the Centennial Bell to commemorate 100 years of Rotary. Similar to the travelling Olympic torch, five Rotary Centennial bells are circulating to clubs in every Rotary country, starting at the RI Convention in Brisbane, Australia, in June 2003. The bells' journeys will symbolize the internationality of Rotary as they crisscross the globe. One bell will travel to the first 100 clubs to join Rotary International, while the others will travel to the first Rotary club formed in each country of four regions, according to RI archives: Asia and the Pacific; Latin American and the Caribbean; Africa; and Europe. The Rotary Club of Colombo will be the proud host of one of the Centennial Bells when it makes its way to the Asian region, an honour bestowed upon them in keeping with their status of being the first Rotary club in Sri Lanka. As the Rotary Centennial approaches, Rotarians around the world are encouraged to focus on three key goals for 2005: eradicate polio, increase membership to 1.25 million members and Reach $100 Per Capita in Annual Giving. |
