this month's cover

The Family of Rotary theme developed by then R.I. President Jonathan Majiyagbe during the 2003/2004 Rotary year proved very popular.

It came to a perfect finale at the Osaka Convention when President Jonathan presented his son John, daughter-in-law Roll and seven-months-old grand daughter Yetunde to the final plenary session. R.I. President Glenn Estess has pledged to develop further The Family of Rotary theme during this Centenary Year.

The Osaka R.I. Convention report begins on page 16.
