This is my final Telegram as my Rotary Year ends on Thursday June 24th. What a great year as it has been both a Pleasure and an Honor to be the President of the Rotary Club of St. Louis of the Rotary Year 2020-21. I will continue to be involved in OUR CLUB and I would hope all of our members would increase their involvement.
1. Is it the truth?
2. Is it fair to all concerned?
3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?
4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?
MAKES ME PROUD TO BE A ROTARIAN IN THE ROTARY CLUB OF ST. LOUIS
Being a Rotarian means serving your community, networking, making friends, and building international relationships. Through Rotary, you have the opportunity to expand your leadership skills and achieve your goals. Get involved in a committee, sit with someone different every week, when ask to serve on as a Board position treat it as a special invitation to not only serve but also enlighten yourself. You will find you will gain much more personally than you can only dream of.

John A. Wright, Jr presented a program on a book his family co-authored titled Extraordinary Black Missourians. Josephine Baker, Lloyd Gaines, Langston Hughes, Annie Malone, Dred Scott, Roy Wilkins, and others featured in the book are representative of individuals who have contributed to the African American legacy of Missouri. Intriguing information and another great program.
