INTER-CLUB MEETINGS OF THE ROTARIANS FIRST OF THE SERIES HELD AT CHULA VISTA, WITH CORONADAN PRESIDING

Eighteen Rotarians, representing the local club, journeyed to Chula Vista last Monday and put on the first of a series of inter-club meetings at the regular weekly luncheon of the Chula Vista Rotary club. H. A. Taylor acted as chairman of the day The subject theme of the meeting was “Rotary Education.” Thomas P. Blair, president of the Coronado Rotary club, opened the program with a short talk on “Rotary.” This was followed by three delightful vocal solos; "Come to the Fair,” “Laguna Moon,” and “Cielito Hlndo,” by Elizabeth Carroll Swan, accompanied by Ella Voelker Root of the Hotel del Coronado orchestra. Chairman Taylor, through a clever set of questions and answers, brought out the fine points of Rotary. The questions were asked of the different members, those unable to answer being assessed fines. Alfred Laing gave a fine talk on Article 6 of the Rotary Code of Ethics: “To Use My Best Endeavors to Elevate the Standards of the Vocation in which I am Engaged, and so Conduct My Affairs that Others in My Vocation May-Find it Wise, Profitable and Conducive to Happiness to Emulate My Example.” William Lambert speaking on Article B, “Friendship,” of the Code of Ethics, said in part: "One of Life’s greatest treasures is Friendship. It is something which . we a il can have and enjoy, rich and poor alike, if one is but human and receptive. Self and self-interest are the barriers which stand in the way. There is nothing more fruitful and lasting than the joy and happiness of a true friendship. What gives Ro'tary its innate power is the instinctive friendliness that comes of a Rotary membership. Rotary values friendship as one of the strongest fibers in the social world of Life. “Let us all get together in the effort to realize the grand idea of happy friendship and of communicating true happiness to others. Remember the first principle of Rotary is friendship, and just as we do our part will we come to know and to love our fellow members, and just in that proportion will we become useful in our club.” The meeting closed with an expression of thanks by Cal Lauderbach, president of the Chula Vista club.
