Rotary in Paris France Courtesy of the Rotary Club de Paris Since the 2024 Summer Olympics, officially the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, are taking place in Paris, France, here is some information about Rotary in the City of Light.

The oldest of the Rotary clubs in Paris is the Rotary Club of Paris was founded on April 1, 1921. Today the club has some 180 members, It is thus the father, grandfather or great grandfather of French Clubs, but also of clubs abroad such as Brussels (1923) or Zurich (1924).

As anticipated, August is here. I say that because July is in the rear-view much too quickly. When I became club President, the year was gone before I could blink. Just when I started to feel comfortable in the role, it was gone, and I felt a sense of sadness it was over so soon. I wondered if there might be a parallel in the District Governor role, and I think I might have found my answer if the following months are like July was. It’s a reminder to take a step back and take a deep breath. Enjoy each day, each hour, each minute, each and every second, and enjoy the ride along the way!
