We sometimes forget and use various Rotary acronyms in our day to day chatter.  If you don't know what we are referring to, ask;  if you do, please remind us to speak plainly.
 
The mysteries might be solved by referring to the link to the list of acronyms on our website where you might find another definition for a CHEF (Clothe, House, Educate, Feed).  By the way, that list is New Zealand based and it is one of many you will find if you search for 'Rotary Acronyms'.
 
The ABC's of Rotary are short articles about Rotary first published in the weekly bulletin of the Rotary Club of North Stockton, California, USA.  Originally called "Did Ya Know?", the pieces were prepared to share interesting facts about Rotary International with members of the North Stockton club.  When their author, Cliff Dochterman, became President of Rotary International in 1992-93, the articles were collected and published as The ABCs of Rotary.  The collection, which is periodically updated, provides a guide for Rotarians to the colorful history of their organization, its customs and traditions and the current status of its global programs.  They are also on our website.
