Rotary INTERNATIONAL



They call it Rotary International for a reason.
I received this email today:





President Liz
West Kauai Rotary Club
Hawaii

Dear President Liz

Just a note to greet you from Endeavour Rotary Club, Whitby, North Yorkshire, England and to inform you that we will toast your Club at 8pm UK time, tomorrow, Wednesday 30 July 2008.

We are delighted that your immediate past president, David Walker has chosen to stay for three nights in Whitby and are grateful to our immediate past president, Les Overton for providing that hospitality.

David has agreed to talk to us about West Kauai and make a presentation of a picture of The Endeavour sailing ship visiting Hawaii, to our Town Mayor,
Councillor Steve Smith.

Once again, we send you our greetings.

Yours in Rotary

Mike Murphy

President

Sneaton Castle

Endeavour Rotary Club
Whitby
North Yorkshire, England

Now, FYI, The HM Bark Endeavour carried Captain Cook to far away places (He eventually sailed the Resolution and made landfall here in Waimea on his third voyage in 1778 ).

+++

wikipedia says:
His Majesty's Bark Endeavour was a collier built in 1768 in Whitby, North Yorkshire. The vessel was purchased by the Admiralty for James Cook on his first voyage to the Pacific Ocean ostensibly to observe the 1769 transit of Venus. After this event Cook had sealed orders from the Admiralty to explore for Terra Australis Incognita.

+++

So here, 230 years later, we have the coming together of two Rotary clubs on opposite sides of the planet- because of HM Bark Endeavor and Captain James Cook (with a little help from Past President Dave Walker).Our Club offered a toast and a sunset to the Endeavour Rotary Club, Whitby- who meets a few hours from now.

Let there be peace on earth- and let it begin with friendship!
