MISSION AND VISION

RGHF Mission: As an effort to serve others, RGHF accumulates and preserves the complete history, values and philosophy of the Rotary movement, as well as encourages others to do the same at every level of the Rotary movement, and publishes those histories, values and philosophies on the internet, as well as other forms of media as expedient.

The Founder's Wish for Rotary:  Page 210 THIS ROTARIAN AGE: "Rotary International has been extremely fortunate in its selection of presidents. It would be impossible for the writer to over-express his appreciation of their joint and several contributions to the movement; it would be impossible for him to over-estimate their loyalty, their devotion, the sacrificial spirit which they have so frequently made manifest. He wishes that it might be permitted him to write the stories of their various administrations, but to do so would be to write the history of the movement and would require several volumes. The writer has no doubt that it will be accomplished in the course of time."  Paul P. Harris, page 210 from "This Rotarian Age"  1935

Greetings, I would like to thank all who have been involved in this important work of providing encouragement and information to Rotarians and their Clubs. In my opinion, in this electronic age, this is a very valuable resource. I offer my congratulations and sincere appreciation to all who have been involved and I urge you to keep up your good work.

Sincerely, Wilf Wilkinson, President 2007/08  (Past President Wilf is an RGHF Member)

Another President's Greeting: "Your web site is an instrumental tool for those forward-thinking people who wish to learn from our history, in order to guide our future." Frank J. Devlyn, Rotary International President 2000-2001, Chairman of The Rotary Foundation 2005-2006, 20 June 2001 letter
