April is Rotary's Magazine Month! About The Rotarian History The first issue of The National Rotarian was published in January 1911. This 12-page tabloid was considered the best way to distribute an essay written by Rotary founder Paul Harris. The essay was titled, "Rational Rotarianism." There was also club news and advertisements. About 2,000 copies were produced by printer Harry Ruggles, one of the first members of the Rotary Club of Chicago. Soon the issue went back to press for another 2,000 copies. Seventeen Nobel Prize winners and 19 Pulitzer Prize winners have written for the magazine. A partial list of eminent contributors includes: Thomas Mann, Edith Wharton, Knute Rockne, Frank Lloyd Wright, Mahatma Gandhi, Winston Churchill, Helen Keller, Eleanor Roosevelt, Norman Vincent Peale, Pearl S. Buck, Lowell Thomas, Betty Friedan, Willy Brandt, Javier Perez de Cuellar, Arthur C. Clarke, Richard Armour, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Rabbi Harold Kushner, Isaac Asimov, Cleveland Amory, Octavio Paz, and Jimmy Carter.

Spotlight On Service...Camp RYLA Rotary Youth Leadership Awards In 1959, Australian Rotarians decided to hold a youth festival. Fifty years later, the program that grew out of that event‚ Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA)‚ continues to provide a way for clubs and districts to support the next generation of leaders. At workshops and camps, participants ages 14 to 30 develop leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills while having fun and making new friends. An International RYLA, held each year before the RI Convention, gives young people a chance to tackle global issues with their peers from other countries. This year, Camp RYLA will be held April 22-25, 2010. Visit www.rotary.org/ryla for more details.
