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 muse accept his new
responsibility as one of trust. Upon your judgement and knowledge of people will rest the success or
failure of chis club as an instrument of service to chis 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 your 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 Bill Covington to entrust you with the gavel of this club which he has handcrafted for you
personally as the symbol of its highest authority.
