Today is Rotary's 120th birthday! Rotary as a service club was founded by Chicago lawyer, Paul Harris, in 1905. He and four friends would rotate their weekly meetings between their 5 offices - hence the name Rotary. Their first project was a public toilet. #ServiceAboveSelf #HaliSky #NovaScotia

I visited the Pentagon recently and remarked to my escort there were lots of bathrooms. He said it’s because the Pentagon’s in Virginia and when it was built Jim Crow laws were in effect - there had to be separate bathrooms for blacks. The past isn’t dead. It isn’t even past.
