Why Rotary? by Paul Moore
Returning to in-person meetings has gotten me thinking about why I am a Rotarian.
My first Rotary membership was in Hickory, North Carolina in 1976. I was 27 years old and in my first management position with the Boy Scouts of America. We met at Mom and Pop’s Ham House (that’s a big deal in that part of the world.) We would go through the cafeteria line, selecting the items we wanted, and carry them to a table where we would join other men. Yes, men, it was 1976. The only other member under age 40 was a third generation legacy Rotarian. They decided I should be appointed the Sergeant at Arms, I think because I was younger and faster than most. That was important because one of my tasks was cornering someone and convincing them to do the invocation. I was amazed at how many men from my Sunday School class told me they could not pray out loud in public. Why was I a Hickory Rotarian? Because my predecessor, an older guy who’d been promoted out said I should.
The next Rotary Club I joined was the downtown club in Charlotte. I was the new CEO for the Boy Scouts in that area and there was no question that Rotary was where I was expected to be. (Some friendly folks also told me what church we should join, but we ignored that instruction.) Our godfathers in Scouting, Tom and John Belk of Belk Department Stores, were Rotarians as were many of my other Board members. During my time there, I recruited other Rotarians to the BSA Board. Why was I a Charlotte Rotarian? Because it was good for business.
