News of YOUR Club
Abraham Lincoln, Philosopher Statesman

 

Join us Tuesday, April 14th at Locust Hill Country Club where our guest speaker will be Joseph Fornieri, professor of political science at the Rochester Institute of Technology.

 

One hundred fifty years ago, on April 14, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated.  Many contend that Lincoln was not just our greatest President, but one of the greatest leaders in the history of the world.  What made Lincoln great?  In his latest book, Abraham Lincoln, Philosopher Statesman, Dr. Fornieri examined Lincoln's "political genius" in terms of the traditional moral vision of statesmanship as understood by great political philosophers such as Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas.  Dr. Fornieri will discuss his theory of Lincoln's greatness with us on Tuesday.

78th Rotary Award Recipient Selected -
James B. Isaac

Jim Isaac Fine   

At it's March 19th meeting, the Rochester Rotary Club Board accepted the Rotary Award Committee's recommendation for the 78th Rochester Rotary Award.  This year's recipient is James B. Isaac.  Jim was nominated by Bob Enright.

   

"Jim Isaac may best be identified in the Rochester region for his key role in building an iconic company, Isaac Heating & Air Conditioning.  For those who know him, however, including his fellow Rochester and Monroe County Rotarians, Jim Isaac has built his greater reputation on a selfless dedication to our community.

 

It's no exaggeration to say that nearly every day of his adult life, Jim Isaac helps an individual or organization in need.  That he does it at all is a monumental achievement, but everyone who meets Jim quickly learns that he executes his service with as much joy as he does purpose.  Jim's quick smile and calm manner have put more than a few people at ease with difficult situations - even before he gets to the task at hand."

                 -  Bob Enright

 

This year's luncheon will be held Tuesday, June 16th at the Joseph A. Floreano Rochester Riverside Convention Center.
