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. |

DID YOU MISS A MEETING ‘BECAUSE
YOU WERE AWAY?
EXCHANGE OF CLUB BANNERS
One of the colorful traditions of many
Rotary clubs is the exchange of small banners, flags or pennants. Rotarians
traveling to distant locations often take banners to exchange at "make
up" meetings as a token of friendship. Many clubs use the decorative banners
they have received for attractive displays at club meetings and district
events.
The Rotary International board recognized
the growing popularity of the banner exchange back in 1959 and suggested
that those clubs which participate in such exchanges give careful thought
to the design of their banners in order that they be distinctive and
expressive of the community and country of which the club is a part. It is
recommended that banners include pictures, slogans or designs which portray
the territorial area of the club.
The board was also mindful of the
financial burden such exchanges may impose upon some clubs, especially in
popular areas where many visitors make up and request to exchange. In all
instances, clubs are cautioned to exercise discretion and moderation in the
exchange of banners in order that the financial obligations do not
interfere with the basic service activities of the club.
Many clubs choose to display their
collection of banners. If you look up the Port Townsend Rotary Club in Washington
on the internet, you’ll find displayed over 250 banners from all over the
world that have been exchanged. On the Rotary Club of Topsfield, Boxford
and Middleton, MA’s website, they are asking clubs to submit photos of
their banners. The site currently has a banner directory of over 150
submissions with links to the websites of each club. Check out http://www.rotarytbm.org/bank.htm#top. It’s interesting to see how different each
banner can be. If you club banner doesn’t appear – take a photo of it and
add it their collection.
Exchanging club banners is a very
pleasant custom, especially when a creative and artistic banner tells an
interesting story of community pride. The exchange of banners is a
significant tradition of Rotary and serves as a tangible symbol of our
international fellowship.
Our club goal is 100% Attendance!
If you miss a
meeting, it can be made-up within 2 weeks, before or after, of the
missed meeting date.
For online make-ups:
Visit www.ri6990.org to find a club
to make up an absence.
Attendance
credit for a 30-minute interactive club Web site activity offers an
alternative to making up a meeting at another club.
To
earn this credit, Rotarians log on to the site, read up on a range of
subjects, post comments, & submit a form to the club secretary.
How to do a Make-Up On-Line via Rotary eClub One?
Perfect attendance is now possible for every Rotarian with
computer access. Rotary’s eClub One is a full-service online charted Rotary
Club. Meetings operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. What an easy way
to make up for a meeting that you have missed! During the last Rotary year,
Rotary eClub One welcomed more than 120,000 visitors from 161 countries. Of
these, about 800 per week participated in one of eClub One’s meeting
programs and applied for make-up credit.
Here’s what you have to do
to earn make up credit. Go to http://www.rotary.org/RIdocuments/en_pdf/eclub_list.pdf
It is mandatory that you spend at least 30 minutes on the
website for qualify for a make-up credit. (Remember Rotarians are guided by
the principles of the 4 Way Test).

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. |
