Charge to the President

When one becomes President of the Plymouth Rotary Club he should not receive his
elevation to its highest office by perfunctorily agreeing to perform the duties of the
presidency. He must accept his new responsibility as one of trust. Upon your judgement
and knowledge of men will rest the success or failure of this club as an instrument of
service to this community, which is the basic function of Rotary.
We trust that throughout your Rotary life you have acquired sufficient knowledge of
Rotary and it usages to place you in a position to impart this knowledge to your fellow
members. This your club believes by offering you the opportunity to serve as its
president and leader. In the administration of this club's affairs you should exhibit the
best in business tact and energy; possessed with dignity of carriage and evenness of
mind; promptness in business procedures; firmness in decision. Courtesy of manner
and kindness of heart should characterize your every act.
Rotary in this community will be largely judged by your quality of leadership and the
efforts of the members whom you now have the opportunity to inspire. During you year
as President of Plymouth Rotary, only matters of the utmost importance should be
allowed to detract from your opportunity for service as its President.
I now present and entrust you with the gavel of this club as the symbol of its highest
authority.
