A Concert to End Polio
This Concert is
being presented through the generosity of a local Charitable Foundation,
whose mission it is to promote the arts. It is their wish to remain
anonymous. They requested that we focus the Concert exclusively on Rotary
and its efforts to eradicate Polio. Thus it is named "A Concert to
End Polio" in the name of the PolioPlus initiative to "End
Polio Now."
This promises to be a memorable evening
of music with the gentle sax of Dave Koz and the piano stylings of Shelly
Berg, backed by the amazing UM Concert Jazz Band.
100% of the
proceeds for this event goes to the PolioPlus
Program of Rotary International.
100% of the $45
ticket is a tax deductible donation.
Tickets may be
purchased directly from the Rotary Foundation of Coral Gables.
Join Mike Mills
at the concert – he just bought tickets online! You can use your credit
card, or your PayPal account if you have one. |

OUR
ROTARY SUCCESS WITH THE POLIO PLUS CAMPAIGN!
Because
of Rotarian support, more than six million children who might have been
polio victims are walking and playing normally. Since 1985, through
Rotary’s efforts and those of its partners around the world, more than two
billion children have received polio vaccines and have been protected. To
date, 209 countries, territories and areas around the world are polio free.
Only four (4) Countries remain with POLIO, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India and Nigeria. Remember……..“PAIN”!
THANK
YOU FOR HAVING SUPPORTED THE ROTARY FOUNDATION AND ITS EFFORTS IN
ERADICATING POLIO FROM THE PLANET. OUR DISTRICT 6990 GOLF BALL DROP HAS
BROUGHT US EVER CLOSER TO OUR GOAL OF RAISING $300,000.00. WE SHOULD REACH
$250.000.00 BY THE END OF THIS ROTARY YEAR! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Group Study
Exchange Program 2010-2011
Fellow Rotarians,
Once again I come to you with a call for some help!
I ask you to consider proposing a young professional who
is between the ages of 25 and 40 years old for travel to Sweden and Latvia as part of the Group Study
Exchange program. Travel will be approximately for one month and the group
will leave early October 2010.
The individual proposed must:
Reside in D6990
a. be employed for at least 2 years and
work within D6990
b. NOT be a Rotarian or be a lineal
descendant of a Rotarian
c. Be bright and broad minded individual
willing participate in an rewarding experience
The selection process will
culminate with interviews scheduled for mid July of 2010.
If you know of such an individual, please present this
possibility to them and have them fill out the attached Team Member
application which must be endorsed by your Rotary
Club.
And lastly, a final reminder that we are still accepting
applications for a Rotarian who wishes to be a Team Leader for the same
trip. Interviews for that position are scheduled for June 5th.
Thank you for your assistance and if you or your young
candidate have any questions, please e-mail me or call me directly on my
cell phone.
Yours in Rotary Service

WORDS
FROM A GROUP STUDY EXCHANGE TEAM MEMBER:
“In
Warsaw, Poland, Woijeich Sierpinski, a Rotary Club President, took
me on a tour that I will never forget. We visited his parent’s house –
where they lived during WW II. There in the kitchen, under a dusty stack
of crates was a secret wood panel in the floor. Woijeich removed
the panel to reveal a tiny room underneath the kitchen floor where his
parents hid their neighbors – a Jewish family – during the war. As I
stood speechless, listening to Woijeich describe how they evaded
the Nazis, I realized the full value of the Group Study Exchange
program.” Ian Oxman, Group Study Exchange member from California. |
