ri president january 2012 my dear brothers and sisters in rotary at arlington national cemetery outside washington d.c stands a memorial to the seabees formally known as the u.s naval construction force an inscription reads with willing hearts and skillful hands the difficult we do at once the impossible takes a bit longer in rotary we already have our own mottoes if we didn t i might be given to nominate those two lines the power of combined effort as paul harris once wrote knows no limitation when we work together the impossible becomes possible 6 i thought of this when i read a few months ago an article in the new england journal of medicine the premier medical journal in the united states titled the polio endgame it outlined a strategy for a post-polio era including managing post-eradication risks thirty years ago such an article could never have been published today it is a testament to the power of dedication of persistence and of combined effort the impossible has indeed become possible a post-polio world once the stuff of dreams will soon be here my friends the day that polio will be eradicated is close at hand we have to be ready for it with a powerful rotary ­ a rotary of enthusiasm and confidence of bold vision and clear ambitions it is time for us to prepare by taking an honest look at our clubs are our projects meaningful sustainable and relevant are our meetings productive and enjoyable are our clubs welcoming to new members and are our schedules and events friendly to young families and once people join us do we welcome them properly involve them enough do we make them a part of the family of rotary quickly enough the figures tell us that while enough new individuals join rotary every year and everywhere too many exit rotary on an ongoing basis what unfulfilled hope do they leave with what expectations are we not meeting can we do more and better now is the time to focus our energies on our clubs and on the way people see them it is time to show our communities that the rotary of today is not the rotary of their preconceptions rotary is a way to connect to do more to be more ­ it is a way to take our idealism and our vision and turn them into reality ri president kalyan banerjee rotary year 2011-2012 reach within to embrace humanity kalyan banerjee president rotary international
