| Are YOU a... |
| R. I. N. O. ? |
| Rotarians In Name Only (RINO!) RINOs seem to look the part, But Rotary comes from the heart. Like trees that grow but have no roots RINOs are but empty suits. Sitting back while others stand RINOs' heads are in the sand. They find no meaning, strength, or balance; For RINOs hoard their time and talents. Life is empty, bleak, and lonely For Rotarians In Name Only! If these assertions make you nervous, Don't put SELF ahead of SERVICE! Live and breathe the FOUR-WAY TEST! You'll profit most while serving best! Be the best that you can be! Stand up strong for ROTARY! |
