What role did his parents and grandparents play in developing his later actions? What happened during his college years that affected him for the rest of his life? Who were the men and women that influenced his ideals?When did Rotary and Paul Harris change directions and become more humanitarian?This book offers an in-depth look at how Paul Harris and early Rotary came into existence.

Book Description
This collection was originally written as posts for my blog, Time To Keep It Simple, which has long since served as a daily record of my life as a traveler, writer, genealogist, photographer, Rotarian, Mason, Jew, PR professional, and many other (mostly positive) things. Those original posts have been divided into sections according to The Four Way Test which is recited before every Rotary meeting and serves as a means to guide the actions of every Rotarian. The questions we ask ourselves every day are as follows: Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all concerned? Does it promote GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIP? Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? While my activity within Rotary has been limited in recent years, the lessons that I learned while an active member of my club continue to influence my life. The friendships formed during that time are some of my most treasured and I will forever be thankful for the support that I continue to receive from my fellow Rotarians. However, most importantly, my time as a Rotarian has given me the skills and passion for service and community that has made me a better leader, person, husband, and father.

Book Description
The Rotary Club of Duarte, California, was chartered in District 530 in 1952. But just before its twenty-fifth birthday in 1976, the Duarte club violated Rotarys bylaws by inviting women to join, ultimately causing its charter to be unceremoniously revoked by Rotary International. Undeterred, the club renamed itself the Ex-Rotary Club of Duarte and its members continued on their quest not to be outcasts of one of the greatest humanitarian organizations in the world. Filled with facts and personal anecdotes, the first woman president in Rotary International shares a fascinating glimpse into the journey of the Duarte club. Sylvia Whitlock, who was present as the club enlisted help from the American Civil Liberties Union and took the case through the California court system until a landmark decision in May 1987, details the circumstances of the case as women struggled to attain equal rights, her role in the process, conversations with participants and onlookers, and the benefits she has gained personally through her own membership. Women Also Serve shares a compelling history of the Duarte Rotary Club and its lofty undertaking to recruit women into its chapter through the perspective of one who was there.
