The Jack Olssen Story The Jack Olssen Story narrates the re-establishement of Rotary in Poland, and the role which Jack played to encourage a local Polish lawyer to think about re-establishing Rotary in Poland. Make no mistake about this, this was had a momentous occasion. A wonderful story of a Rotarian using his initiative and judging the "right moment". This led to the re-establishiment of Rotary all over Central and Eastern Europe.
Introduction An introduction toRotary in Central & Eastern Europe and Russia. Believe you me this is a very big site and you need the introduction.
ROTI what is it? (Rotarians On the Internet)This website is sponsored by ROTI. You might want to know what ROTI is, and what it does and how Rotarians from all over the world can come together and work together to let you a non-English speaking Rotarian share in much of what our group has been able to achieve. We encourage Rotarians from all over the world to join together and use this marvellous medium of the Internet for the advancement and education of Rotary and "to make things happen".
What is Rotary? Not every Rotarian speaks English or one of the major world languages. Here Rotarians on the Internet and the Kumeu Rotary Club of New Zealand try to tell the basics of Rotary in many East European languages. For the use of our new Rotarians in those countries. The informations is also available in the six main languages used on this website. This page will tell you about the following:
