Your officers feel as Don Adams so well expressed at the Wallingford meet- ing, that the first year or two should be spent in bringing men close to- gether, that the Rotary club was not designed so much to be the “doing” organization of the community, as the group of men that teach each in- dividual to consider the community as a responsibility and make cach as a Rotarian willing to assume his share of the duty towards his fellow being, his city and his country. I hope our progress this last year will have shown this to each one of you. Ro- tary has done many men in this club much good. It has brought out the real feelings, the genuineness of the handclasp, easiness of approach, one to the other, and most important, a willingness to consider the next man in a little truer light than before, “Attendance has been a theme for, each meeting, not the school boy com- pulsion, but the knowledge that through regular attendance men come to know each other better and in that knowledge, Rotary to become a quiet but living force in the com- munity. Our attendance has not |been what it should be. Members who have not attended according to regulations (at least one in every four meetings) have not been drop- e ——— tlonal state departmental work and institu- | }pud because we felt that to them, Rotary was something new and per- |haps they would cateh the real \lumnnluu through persuasion rather than by force, It has now come to a point where, for the good of you men yourselves and for that of |elub, the attendance rule must because, as I feel, they have not yet caught what is impelling one hundred thousand men In Rotary all over the world, ‘the opportunity to know each fellow as he really is and to put serv- lce above self,’ I feel that this will come during this next year, as it has in other cities and you will then have a day when men say, ‘Yes, 1 have an engagement Thursday for Rotary from 12 o'clock to 1:30. "“You new officers will no doubt go on and bulld casier and firmer this coming year for I belleved the hard- l(-u! rows have been hoed, As an- other year opens up I hope you men | will work with them as willingly as |you have with your past oficers, | "“There are one or two things that | stand out as paramount to all others in my mind—which each and every one of you should do, Iirst: To take a keener and more personal interest in affalrs of our city. By that I mean, real thought concerning the problems | that confront a city government, care {in the selection of men that have to {deal with these problems, your help when they need it and a stern, ufh- :quulmad decision in voting, when | problems are dlscussed that affect the | good of our city, its health, its edu- | cational system, its general appear- |ance to visitors and its finances, You can all help in these and put as much though into them, if you will, as you do in your individual business. Sec- |ond: A stronger backing by each one |of you in your Chamber of Com- merce. 1t needs your help and your counsel and if given willingly and fearlessly as Rotarians should give it, will and can be made the strongest | influence in this community, Third: “A keener appreciation of the work of the different charitable and philan- thropic organizations of our city, A | visit to the boys' and girls’ camps, to the fresh air camp, to the orphans’ home, the blind babies’ home and the like. “This year should see visitations | planned and well attended by every :l(omrlan.

As in 1922, the club co- operated with the Boy Scouts In col- lecting clothing, etc., for the Near Bast Relief. Transportation to and from the Fresh Air Camp at Burling- ton was provided throughout the sum- mer for the children, The most im- portant undertaking of the year was the arranging for the Paulist Cholr concert which was held at Fox's the- ater Friday evening, Nov, 24th, pro- ceeds of the concert to go into a fund for the crippled children of the city. Approximately $470.00 was realized and the fund started. Since that time the committee in charge, undér Fred Lee has arranged for the examination of the eyes of six children and fur- nishing them with glasses and is now arranging for two operations to be performed at the club's expense, An- other civic undertaking financed by the club was the visit of Dr. Charles E. Barker who made three addresses in the city, one to the boys and girls of the high school, another to the women of the city at a public meeting in the afternoon, and the third to the men of the city at an evening meeting. Dr. Barker was well received and left a lasting impression upon those who |heard him. The Welfare association at Christmas time provided the club with a list of needy families and each Rotarian took care of a family, pro- viding it with food and such oth- er things as were needed. Although not represented by a team in the United Community corp. drive this year, the club acted as host, paying for the dinners of all the workers. A great number of Rotarians were team members. “But one inter city held during the year, and unfor- tunately it did not meet with the success which was anticipated. Pos- sibly some different arrangement will be made this coming year. All of the clubs in the state were invited, but New Haven, New London, Hart- ford and Torrington were the only clubs who sent representatives, The club is indebted to the Rotary-Anns for the beautiful flag which they pre- sented to us at our meeting on June 1st.
