羅伯特，我們今天下午特別開心的是你在世界各地的地域扶輪基金協調人同僚們可以在此和你分享此一特別的時刻。今天就讓我們歡迎這扶輪的家庭的每個人。

Rob, we are also particularly pleased that your RRFC colleagues from around the world can share in this occasion with you this afternoon. We welcome everyone today—the family of Rotary.

代表國際扶輪社長雷施易、國際扶輪理事、扶輪基金會保管委員會主委賴唯捨以及許多由於你的仁慈而受惠的人，羅伯特，我們由衷的感謝你的慷慨及領導。

On behalf of President Glenn, Rotary International’s Directors, Chairman Carlo, the Foundation’s Trustees, and especially the many beneficiaries of your kindness, our deepest thanks Rob, for your generosity and your leadership.

對於愛琳對扶輪基金會的承諾請轉達我們的問候及窩心的感謝。我們大家都知扶輪及基金會領導者的配偶責任都不小；他們慷慨地與扶輪家庭分享他們配偶的時間。我相信參與地域扶輪基金協調人訓練的基金會領導人都很清楚地知道這一點。羅伯特，請務必讓愛琳知道我們感謝她的支持。

Please relay our greetings and warm appreciation to Eileen for her commitment to The Rotary Foundation. We all know Rotary and Foundation leaders’ spouses have no small task; they graciously share their spouses’ time with our Rotary family. I am certain that the Foundation leaders involved in RRFC training are acutely aware of this. Please, Rob, let Eileen know that we appreciate her support.

理事會前不久同意了把榮譽大廳的這個部分命名為阿奇•柯藍夫展示走廊來紀念扶輪基金會的創始人。國際扶輪前社長阿奇•柯藍夫在1916-17年度擁有扶輪最高的地位。這個展示走廊保留了許多重要巨額捐贈人就像羅伯特•布朗和愛琳一樣，透過扶輪基金會的人道主義和教育計畫實現了讓世界更和平的構想。

The Trustees recently agreed to name this section of the Hall of Honor the Arch C. Klumph Gallery in honor of The Rotary Foundation’s founder, Past RI President Arch C. Klumph who served in Rotary’s highest capacity in 1916-17. The Gallery is reserved for significant major donors who, like Rob and Eileen, have invested in the vision of a more peaceful world through The Rotary Foundation’s humanitarian and educational programs.

每張照片都有一個故事。今天，我們有這個榮幸表揚羅伯特和愛琳他們的慷慨地捐贈幫助我們完成扶輪基金會的使命，並舉辦阿奇•柯藍夫展示走廊入會儀式。

Every one of these pictures has a story. Today, we have the pleasure of recognizing Rob and Eileen for their generous gifts to help fulfill the mission of our Rotary Foundation, and inducting them into the Arch C. Klumph Gallery.

以下羅伯特布朗故事－羅伯特出生於美國紐約的Scottsville。他就讀於紐約Maritime州立大學，在那裡他拿到了海洋運輸的學士學位。他於商船海上航行並獲得船長的執照。返回岸上後他在一家船運公司擔任營運經理的工作。

Here is the Rob Brown Story—Rob was born in Scottsville, New York, USA. He studied at the State University of New York Maritime College where he received a Bachelors Degree in marine transportation. He sailed with the Merchant Marines, obtaining a Master’s License for ocean going vessels. He came ashore and worked as an operations manager for a shipping company.

在1983年，羅伯特共同創立了巴爾的摩港第一的醫師急救緊急醫療業務。在不同的機構中擔任顧問和投資者，他最近在一家從事塑膠針筒模具生產的公司擔任總裁和朔膠風險投資執行官。

In 1983, Rob co-founded Baltimore’s first urgent care medical practice, Physicians Promptcare. Engaged as both a consultant and an investor in a variety of organizations, Rob most recently served as president and CEO of Venture Plastics, a plastic injection molding company.

羅伯特在1989年參加美國馬利蘭Towsontowne扶輪社時開始了他的扶輪故事。他擔任了1991~92年度的扶輪社秘書並於1994~95年擔任社長。1995~96年度當他是總監特別代表時，羅伯特參與了地區層級。在1999~2000年度他擔任了第7620地區的總監。

Rob began his Rotary story in 1989 when he joined the Towsontowne, Maryland, USA club. He served as club secretary in 1991-92 and as president in 1994-95. Rob became involved at the district level in 1995-96, when he was a governor’s representative. In 1999-2000 he served as Governor of District 7620.

羅伯特服務於地區獎學金、扶輪青少年領袖營以及社員委員會，並且他擔任2001~03年度地區扶輪基金會委員會的主委。扶輪基金會很幸運有他加入擔任第三年之第32地帶的地域扶輪基金協調人。

Rob has served on the District’s Scholarships, RYLA, and membership committees, and he chaired the District Rotary Foundation Committee from 2001-03. The Rotary Foundation is truly fortunate to have him entering his third year as RRFC for Zone 32.

羅伯特現在是美國政府組織的國際扶輪代表。他在2001~02年度是聯合國代表團和外交關係委員會以及世界社會服務計畫行動小組的一員。

Rob is currently a RI Representative to the Organization of American States. He was a member of both the UN Delegation and Diplomatic Relations Committee and the World Community Service Programs Task Force in 2001-02.

以他對國際性計畫的熱忱，他慷慨並一貫地支援世界基金並不令人驚訝。布朗家族也資助了羅伯特和愛琳布朗的世界和平聯誼。 他們對支援這個計畫很感興趣也很鼓勵其他的人做這樣的事。

With his clear interest in international programs, it is no surprise that Rob has generously and consistently supported the World Fund. The Browns have also funded the Robert S. and Eileen Brown World Peace Fellowship. They are very interesting in supporting this program and inspiring others to do the same.

昨天夜裡我問羅伯特〝是什麼讓你對扶輪基金會奉獻？〞他回答說〝吸收-他們僅僅保持請教！〞身為地域扶輪基金協調人我確定你們都能夠從那故事裡有所獲益！保持請教！

I asked Rob last night “what made you give to The Rotary Foundation?” He responded, “Osmosis—they just kept asking!” As RRFCs I am sure you can all take a lot from that story! Keep asking!

羅伯特，從你和愛琳還有超過100個受表揚者的照片中他們所提供的捐贈從$250,000至$7百萬美元。捐獻人來自全球的各個地方-從印度、杜拜、台灣、日本、澳洲、美國、義大利、韓國、德國、菲律賓、英國、加拿大和肯亞。他們的捐贈顯示出幾乎是所有對扶輪基金會捐贈的10%。他們和你分享了一種共同與一致的承諾－透過扶輪基金會的計畫創造更人道和祥和的世界。

Rob, the photograph of you and Eileen joins over 100 honorees who have made gifts ranging from US$250,000 to over US$7 million. Donors come from all parts of the globe—from India, Dubai, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, USA, Italy, Korea, Germany, Philippines, England, Canada, and Kenya. Their gifts represent nearly 10% of all contributions made to The Rotary Foundation. They share a common and united commitment with you –to create a more humane and peaceful world through The Rotary Foundation’s programs.

透過今天這個活動，你也成為阿奇•柯藍夫展示走廊Arch C.的創始會員。恭喜及感謝你與我們的扶輪基金會分享你的時間和資源。現在我以極大熱情歡迎地域扶輪基金協調人羅伯特•布朗分享他的意見。

Through this event today, you also become charter members of the Arch C. Klumph Society. Congratulations and thank you for sharing your time and resources with our Rotary Foundation. With great pleasure I welcome RRFC Rob Brown to share his comments.

地域扶輪基金協調人羅伯特•布朗演說：

我要感謝地域扶輪基金協調人的資深扶輪領導人們，以及扶輪家庭在你們百忙之中可以與我分享這個時刻。我的地域扶輪基金協調人夥伴們責無旁貸。主委當選人法蘭克•戴甫靈再次以促進瞭解採取行動向我們挑戰了。所以我們在這裡！

Remarks from RRFC Rob Brown:

Comments in bold are paraphrased

I want to thank the senior Rotary leaders the RRFCs, and the family of Rotary for taking time from your busy schedules to share this moment with me. My fellow RRFCs had no choice. Chairman-elect Frank has challenged us once again to Create Awareness and Take Action. So here we are!

這不是關於我的妻子愛琳或是我，而是那些我們從不認識而受到扶輪基金會行善工作所幫助的人們的慶典。

This not about my wife Eileen or me, rather it is a celebration for those we will never know, who can be helped by the good works of The Rotary Foundation.

我與你們分享我在生命的旅途上的跌跌撞撞。但也使我成為更好的人。除了和你們分享我的經驗我也在此獻上我最大的祝福，這也是我們是今天在這裡的原因。

I have had my share of bumps on the road of life. Hopefully they made me a better person. I have also been blessed with more than my share of good fortune, which is one of the reasons we are here today.

我們今天在這裡的另一個原因就要回到你們有些人可以認識的人,吉姆。他的照片在這些牆上 他是扶輪基金會前所未有收到最大的禮品。吉姆是我這地區扶輪基金會的成員。他說他所做是為鼓勵其他人也能共襄盛舉。

Another reason we are here today goes back to a gentleman some of you may have know, Jim Buchanan/. His picture is here on these walls and until recently his was the largest gift The Rotary Foundation had ever received. Jim was a member of my Rotary District. He said he did it to encourage others to give.

儘管我們的捐贈不與吉姆是相同的量級時，但心意相同。鼓勵人們這是出自於給與，或者是以我們的座右銘：服務至上。如同由我們的根除小兒麻痹等疾病運動那樣，我們設定義工能做到的新標準。

While our gift is not of the same magnitude as Jim’s, it is being done with a similar thought. Encourage others This is about giving, or in the words of our motto: Service Above Self. As evidenced by our polio eradication campaign, we are setting new standards of what volunteers can do.

我們是扶輪基金會中的地域扶輪基金協調人和資深領導人，當處理我們的財政時我們需要以身作則方式來領導。主委當選人法蘭克•戴甫靈。問我為什麼要對扶輪基金會奉獻。

We are RRFCs and senior leaders in The Rotary Foundation need to lead by example when it is in our financial means. Chairman-elect Frank asked why I give to The Rotary Foundation.

讓地域扶輪基金協調人布朗來講一個關於來自日本的團體研究交換團造訪他的地區有意義故事。該團和在他的地區內受雇於五角大樓的家庭一起工作。在911事件以後，他於該扶輪社向團體研究交換團演說時得到了一個很有意義的禮物。這就是一種扶輪的互動讓他印象深刻並讓他看到真正發自內心的慈悲心。

RRFC Brown told a meaningful story about a GSE team from Japan that came to his district. The team worked with families in his district who were employed in the Pentagon. After the events of September 11, he received a significant gift from the clubs represented on the GSE team. This was a Rotary interaction that left a deep impression on him and taught him how true philanthropy comes from the heart.

我自己的興趣是在世界和平獎學生計畫，我相信這個計畫不同於其他基金會的計畫他有潛力拯救和改變生命。這是為了我們的子子孫孫們及全世界的兒童們。

My own interest is in the World Peace Scholar program, which I believe has the potential to save and change lives like no other Foundation program. This is for our grandchildren and the children of the world.

但他並不是指我們基金會其它的計畫不重要。作為地域扶輪基金協調人我們必須持續推動我們的基金會的計畫，教育我們所接觸的人並分享於世界行善的好處。

But his is not to say that the other programs of our Foundation are not equally important. As RRFCs we must continue to promote our Foundation’s programs, to educate those with whom we are in contact, and to share stories of the benefits of doing good in the world.

這將是多好的遺產如果有一天我們可以這樣說：「是的，他大方地將他的時間，他的才能和財務的資源來幫助我們的基金會〝行善全世界〞」。

再次感謝你們與我分享這次的時光。

What a wonderful legacy if some day it can be said: “Yes, he gave freely of his time, his talents and financial resources to help our Foundation “Doing good in the world.”

Thank you again for sharing this time with me.

扶輪基金會保管委員主委當選人法蘭克•戴甫靈：

羅伯特，感謝你的分享。現在，我們深表榮耀地引薦你進入這個捐獻人社區，並且邀請你把你的照片懸掛在阿奇•柯藍夫展示走廊的牆上。並且我邀請前社長和我一起參與。(掀開覆蓋的天鵝絨布露出畫架上的照片框架。而布朗照片於扶輪基金會保管委員主委當選人法蘭克•戴甫靈的協助下掛於展示走廊的牆上)。

Trustee Chairman-elect Devlyn:

Thank you, Rob, for your thoughts. Now, we are deeply honored to induct you into this community of donors, and I invite you to hang your photograph on the wall of the Arch C. Klumph Gallery, and I invite the Past Presidents to join me. (The velvet drape is removed to reveal the framed photo on the easel. The Brown photograph is hung on the Gallery wall with Trustee Chairman-elect Devlyn’s assistance).

扶輪基金會保管委員主委當選人法蘭克•戴甫靈：
