We dream of the future,

But we learn from the past."

Why I Am A Rotarian

august 8, 2006

I am a Rotarian because of the value I feel I can bring from my vocation as a Banker - Director Toronto Downtown BMO (Bank of Montreal) by using these
resources to help youth and our community.

I am a Rotarian to pay my community rent,

which I feel we all owe.

I am a Rotarian to help our foundation

"The Rotary Foundation"

to serve the people of the world and finally,

I am a Rotarian to live up

to our motto of "Service Above Self".

Michael Cooksey
2000 - 2001 PDG - District 7070
