March 2013 Rotary Down Under is dedicated to the wonderful work of women in Rotary. When Paul Harris and his mates formed Rotary back in 1905, there was no mention of Rotary as an organisation for men to the exclusion of women. Women have always played an important role in Rotary, yet they comprise only 16% of Rotarians. Read The Winning Edge on page 12 and you will be insisting that your club increases its gender diversity so your club performs as well as it can, because that increased diversity is likely to yield better outcomes as women bring their special touch. As one woman Rotarian said “Have we made a difference? You bet we have!” Read this exciting issue and pass your magazine onto other women in your community who would make good Rotarians, so they can consider joining Rotary, or send them the link to read this outstanding issue on-line (from 1 March) at www.rotarydownunder.org
