 Beverly Ghent-Skrzynski 2018-19 District Governor  MARCH IS ROTARY WATER AND SANITATION MONTH Since 2013, The Rotary Foundation has invested in over 1,000 WASH (sustainable water,  sanitation and hygiene) projects in more than 100 countries. Through grants from The Rotary Foundation and fundraising by Rotary clubs, our volunteers have supported water purification, hygiene education, latrine construction and waste management. 2030 is the year Rotary International hopes to finish providing everyone with safe water, hygiene and sanitation. -Rotary International Dear Family of Rotary: There aren’t many aspects of what we do in Rotary that do not touch one of the most successful and sustainable areas of Rotary service – Water and Sanitation. When we build a well; plant a tree or landscape a river bend; update an aging power plant; cut the ribbon on a sanitation fa  cility; help restore the quality of our local rivers and streams; help develop water treatment plants; educate our youth on the need to preserve our Great Lakes; teach our children to swim or a special needs child to fish…that is just a brief look at what “Rotary” accomplishes in District 6630 – your impact here and faraway. With clean water…food will grow and our children can eat and our teachers can teach so our youth can go on to lead productive lives. You forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one…Jacques Yves Cousteau IT IS TIME TO REGISTER NOW! We are less than a month away from our District Conference of Clubs which is designed to, inform, inspire and celebrate our Presidents of Action and Rotary in District 6630. See the registration information above with the updated At-A-Glance and Saturday District Leadership Assembly (DLA) schedule. We are truly fortunate to be able to truly “touch the internationality of Rotary” throughout the weekend. I personally invite you to hear Special Agent in Charge Eric Smith from the Federal Bureau of Investigation – Cleveland Division; and share in a discussion on Membership Development successes and Human Trafficking in Northeast Ohio; celebrate our involvement with the Shoebox Program in support of the Children of the Dump in Nicaragua. As of press time we will also be welcoming PDG Larry Wright from District 6400 in Michigan for some additional words of inspiration and are planning for a “first-hand update” on the status of the devastation wrought by the Category 5 Hurricanes Irma and Maria in St. Thomas, USVI. On Saturday I encourage you to join us for the District Leadership Assembly and then help celebrate ALL OF OUR YOUTH in so many ways including the 4-Way Test Speech Contest Winners – Youth Exchange – RYLA – Interact and Rotaract throughout the luncheon and the afternoon’s Interact Carnivale! As of press time it has been confirmed that both the Interact Advisor and Interact Club Vice President from Ivanna Eudora Kean High School in St. Thomas will be in attendance to help celebrate our Interactor’s dream for a Literacy Project in their school! Throughout the conference we are honored to have in attendance our RI President’s Representative PDG David Bixler and Julie; and we also will be celebrating our Major Donors to The Rotary Foundation and our 53,000 Points of Light Polio Eradication Program. SEE YOU IN APRIL! Best regards, Governor Beverly |

 Beverly Ghent-Skrzynski 2018-19 District Governor  FEBRUARY IS Peace and ConflictPrevention/Resolution Month Conflict and violence displaced more than 68 million people in the past year, and half of those are children. We refuse to accept conflict as a way of life. Rotary projects provide training that fosters understanding and provides communities with the skills to resolve conflicts. Through our service projects, peace fellowships, and scholarships, our members are taking action to address the underlying causes of conflict, including poverty, inequality, ethnic tension, lack of access to education, and unequal distribution of resources. Source: Rotary International Happy Birthday Rotary. This month is dedicated to the celebration of peace and the 114th anniversary of the founding of Rotary International on February 23rd - World Understanding and Peace Day. I don’t believe Rotary’s founder, Paul P. Harris, or our own Arch C. Klumph, Father of The Rotary Foundation, had any idea at the time the true significance of their visions for “Service Above Self” and “Doing Good in the World” and the impact they would have on this world for generations to come, for all eternity. Polio eradication, the largest global public health initiative in the world, contributes to peace each and every day. Bringing light into some of the furthest outreaches of the world, and yes, Rotary does stop wars to immunize its children. Rotary’s Peace Fellowships. In just over 10 years, the Rotary Peace Centers have trained more than 1,200 fellows. Many of them now serve as leaders at international organizations or have started their own foundations. Our district was at the forefront of the formation of this program when 2000-2001 District Governor Jim Frame of the Rotary Club of Mantua stood on the stage at the RI Convention in San Antonio representing us as one of the few charter districts from around the Rotary world who supported the development of the World Peace Fellow Program. Rotary Youth Exchange builds peace one young person at a time. The long-term exchanges represent a full academic year and the short-term program can take the form of several days up to three months. There is no better opportunity for our youth to experience another culture, learn a new language and develop life-long friendships all under the umbrella of the Family of Rotary. Our community and university-based Rotaractors (ages 18-30) are part of a network of over 10,904 Rotaract Clubs representing over 250,000 Rotaractors in 189 countries and our Interactors (ages 12-18) are represented by over 20,372 Interact Clubs with 468,556 members in over 159 countries. When our Interactors reached out to the youth in hurricane-ravaged St. Thomas, with the help of Rotary clubs throughout the district, they raised over three times their initial goal of $10,000. This $33,000 resulted in the development of a Global Grant worth $141,000 sponsored on their behalf by the Rotary Club of Chesterland. It helped rebuild their library for their high school and the community. Just another example of reaching out with understanding and support make their “world” a better place. Our Rotary Youth Exchange Students, our Rotary Peace Fellows and our Interactors and Rotaractors…these are our peacemakers and they do change our world. Many of you may remember Mother Teresa has had a profound effect on my life and I wanted to share with you one of my favorite quotes and the significance of a world without peace. If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. - Mother Teresa As a Nobel Peace Prize recipient in 1979, she devoted her life to working with the “poorest of the poor” in the slums of Calcutta and donated all of her winnings to those she served. Mother Teresa continues to be an inspiration to this day. I couldn’t be more excited about the upcoming District Conference of Clubs, April 12-13, 2019 at the Cleveland Airport Marriott. Woven throughout the mosaic of the weekend will be RI President Barry Rassin’s theme of “inspiration” with a “touch of the Islands” throughout. We have assembled one of the finest Planning Committees – ever – led by District Conference Chair Julie Brandle of the Rotary Club of Akron. As our Club Presidents already know, this year we will be holding the Celebration of Life on Friday, before the Annual District 6630 Business Meeting, effectively reducing the conference by a day and giving more of the Family of Rotary the opportunity to remember those we have sadly lost in the last year. Friday’s speakers will include Special Agent in Charge Eric B. Smith, FBI – Cleveland Division and we are awaiting final confirmation of attendance by one of the “Children of the Dump” from Nicaragua who is now in college; a shining example of the result of the support provided by so many clubs in our district for the Shoebox Program. Our afternoon education sessions will lead off with a panel of Rotarians representing some of best “new member development and engagement programs” this year in our district. PDG Membership Chair Jim McKee will be announcing winners of the Tri-District Membership contest at lunch. Friday evening will conclude in the Hospitality Suite sponsored by the Rotary Club of Chesterland. Saturday morning begins with the District Leadership Assembly featuring a wide-array of programming for all Rotarians and guaranteed to Inspire to Lead - Empower to Achieve…And Have Fun. Watch for further details that will be forthcoming in the near future from the District 6630 LEAD Committee co-chaired by PDG Steve Zabor of the Rotary Club of Mantua and Ryan Knotts of the Rotary Club of Hillcrest Sunrise. Saturday’s luncheon is a Celebration of Youth featuring our Rotary Youth Exchange Students, a presentation by the District 6630 4-Way Test Speech Finalists, Charter Ceremony for new Interact and Rotaract Clubs and a segment on our Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) camp – all guaranteed to inspire you. The afternoon will feature the RETURN of the acclaimed “Carnivale” sponsored by our District 6630 Interact Students featuring games guaranteed to make you laugh, intrigue and inspire! $20 will get you 20 game tickets and the net proceeds will go to support this year’s Foster Care Project selected by our students at Interaction 2018. How fitting that this weekend celebrates “Global Youth Service Day.” As of press time, special plans are “in the making” in the hopes that we can bring one of the Interactors and an adviser from the Ivanna Eudora Kean High School in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, the beneficiary of the Global Grant Literacy Project, to meet in person our Interactors to share what it means to have their support and their outreach. And further late breaking news…Dave and Laura Diffendal of the Rotary Club of Cleveland have generously offered to provide four nights at one of their “incredible” resorts in Belize as an auction item on Saturday to provide further support for Polio Eradication. Saturday evening will give us the opportunity to honor those who have recently become Major Donors to The Rotary Foundation and the chance for an update on the “53,000 Points of Light” Polio Eradication Initiative. We will also be welcoming PDG David Bixler and Julie from District 6080 in Missouri as the RI President’s Representatives for President Barry and Esther to this year’s District Conference of Clubs. PDG David is his district’s Rotary Foundation Chair and Zone 31’s Assistant Rotary Public Image Coordinator. I know we all look forward to welcoming them to our Rotary Family. Above is a brief overview of the proposed schedule of events for the District Conference. Warmest regards, Governor Beverly |

 Beverly Ghent-Skrzynski 2018-19 District Governor
Vocational Service calls every Rotarian to: aspire to high ethical standards in their occupation; recognize the worthiness of all useful occupations, and; contribute their vocational talents to the problems and needs of society. Happy New Year Family of Rotary! This month we celebrate what I believe is the fundamental tenet of what guides us in our Rotary mission; the foundation of our beliefs and our ethical standards in both our personal and professional lives – Vocational Service. Please click on this link to go to Rotary International’s brochure about this important Avenue of Service – valuable information if you are a new or newer member to Rotary. It is about dignity, integrity and respect - for one another; for our individual businesses and professions; for the differences in each of us and the uniqueness of our individuality; for those we serve who many times have no place else to turn. It is an ethical consciousness which gives us a barometer in which to measure the appropriateness of our words, thoughts and deeds. It is all about our service to our youth through our Interact and Rotaract Clubs, RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards), 4-Way Test Speech Contest and Youth Exchange programs which gives each of us a path to guide and mentor these young people. The opportunity to offer programs to enhance and develop their leadership and life skills; to give them a voice when they might not otherwise be heard; to assist our youth “outside of the programming circle;” and to share our culture, our families, our way of life and our precious freedoms. It is about the Four-Way Test that was adopted by Rotary International in 1943 and is recited at club meetings throughout our district and around the Rotary World and has been translated into over 100 different languages. From the earliest days of the organization, Rotarians were concerned with promoting high ethical standards in their professional lives. One of the world’s move widely quoted and printed statements of business ethics is the 4-Way Test which was created in 1932 by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor (who later served as RI President) when he was asked to take charge of a company who was facing bankruptcy. This 24-word code of ethics for employees to follow in their business and professional lives became the guide for sales, production, advertising and all relations with dealers and customers, and the survival of this company is credited to this simple philosophy. This year’s District 6630 4-Way Test Speech contest is on Saturday, April 6 at Aurora High School. Please click on this link to go to the district website page for all of the details. Winners will once again present their speeches at the District Conference of Clubs. And it is about “Rotarians Doing Business with Rotarians,” one of the founding principles of Rotary. We have made some valiant attempts in the past to develop a directory of the businesses and professions of our Rotarians within District 6630 to be accessible by our members. The article on page 10 (click to go to the newsletter) is once again an introduction to such an initiative – voluntary in nature. Let’s see if we can make this happen whereby we provide a service to all Rotarians…just one more value to membership in Rotary. Not every club can possibly have representation in every vocation, but there just might be a Rotarian in an-other club who can offer the service or expertise you need. Because if you can’t do business with a Rotarian, then who can you do business with? There is not a Rotary club in this district that Vocational Service does not touch or is not an integral part of their mission. Thank you to each of you. I look forward to seeing you at the District Conference of Clubs on April 12-13, 2019 at the Cleveland Airport Marriott when we will come together to celebrate each of you.

| We had a record-breaking turnout for the December 6th Foundation event when we came together in friendship for fun, great food AND desserts to truly celebrate “Doing Good in the World” (see the article on page 3. The highlight of the evening was when John Daily of the Rotary Club of Akron was inducted into the Arch Klumph Society of The Rotary Foundation. John is pictured here with Frederick T. “Rory” McGuire, the grandson of Arch C. Klumph, and Kevin Kelly, Zone 29 Major Gifts Officer. Our Rotary Family, as always, demonstrated incredible generosity and on behalf of PDG Amy Kapostasy and myself, thanks you to everyone who had a part in its success. |  |
November is the month when Rotarians world-wide have historically focused on The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International and when we as Americans pay tribute to those men and women who have served with honor and distinction in the US Armed forces in war and in peacetime, and particularly those who have given their lives, the ultimate sacrifice, so that we as a nation remain free.
Hard to imagine that Thanksgiving is here already! Hope you and yours have a happy and healthy one. Please enjoy this month's newsletter (CLICK HERE). Thanx so much to all of you that contributed.

Dear District 6630 Rotarians and Friends:
It is hard to believe how quickly the first three months of the 2018-2019 Rotary year have simply flown by – something that each and every Past District Governor warned me about. This phenomenon happened when I was a Club President, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised - so none of the 2018-2019 Presidents of Action should be either. I would not take back a moment, though I wish sometimes there were more hours in the day and I had the ability to be in more than one place at a time. That is the hardest part for me – to not be able to attend all of the incredible club events and projects that are occurring each and every week in this district.
I have completed two-thirds of my club visits as of this writing, or 34 of 53. I will regret when they are over. If everyone in this district could look “through my eyes for a brief moment” – they would be overwhelmed by and disbelieving of the number of humanitarian projects there are and have been in District 6630 since its inception and the millions of people whose lives have been made better for having been touched by Rotary. It is life-changing to even think about and something I am in awe of each and every day. Our Club Presidents are energetic, “forward thinking” and engaged as agents of inspiration and change for their clubs and communities.
This is a changing world; we must be prepared to change with it. The story of Rotary will have to be written again and again. — Paul P. Harris, Founder, Rotary International.
August was Membership and New Club Development Month and the efforts in place by many of our clubs to Share Rotary and bring in new members have resulted in positive growth with a net increase for our district as of September 30th. Congratulations! Attracting new members is important for growth and new perspectives, but now it is incumbent upon each of us to engage these new Rotarians and help lead them to their own “Rotary Defining Moment.”
“The growth and development of people is the highest calling of leadership.” - Harvey S. Firestone, American Businessman
October is Economic and Community Development Month and Rotary International shares the following: Nearly 1.4 billion employed people live on less than $1.25 a day. Our members promote economic and community development and reduce poverty in underserved communities through training, well-paying jobs, and access to financial management institutions. Projects range from providing people with equipment to vocational training. Our members work to strengthen local entrepreneurs and community leaders, particularly women, in impoverished communities.
This is woven into the mosaic of all of our clubs and takes many different forms whether within our own communities or serving a need across the ocean. That is Rotary and that is what our clubs do.
World Polio Day was established by Rotary International over a decade ago to commemorate the birth of Jonas Salk, who led the first team to develop a vaccine against poliomyelitis. In less than two weeks, on October 24, Rotarians from around-the-world will come together “as one” for this year’s commemoration to continue to place emphasis on the elimination of this crippling and debilitating disease. Please see the different articles included in this newsletter not only detailing the history of Polio Eradication, but also answering some common questions from Rotarians on the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI).
In the coming days you will receiving information on a special initiative that has been launched in our district on Polio Eradication. In conclusion, I want to share some thoughts with you from my husband, PDG Dave, on Polio eradication. He actually will probably be quite surprised to see it appear here with his byline.
Governor Beverly
As I reflect on World Polio Day, October 24, 2018, I find Rotary's investment amazing. If you ask almost any Rotarian they will say PolioPlus started in 1985 and that is true. Others may say it started in 1979 when 6 million children in the Philippines were vaccinated with a grant from Rotary, that is also true. However, if you look into the history of our Rotary District alone, you will find that the effects of Polio were foremost in the minds of Rotarians and their Clubs. Without exception every Rotary Club chartered before 1960 and most chartered after that, supported significant programs for children crippled by Polio. From Camp Cheerful and Akron Rotary Camp to major support of local county schools for crippled students, and in one case inventing and producing self-powered wheelchairs to provide mobility to those not able to walk. Even as we approached the New Millennium and Polio had been eradicated from the Americas, Rotarians of District 6630 never took their focus away from this debilitating disease. Some traveled overseas to administer vaccines, some sent wheelchairs, crutches and other equipment to help those already affected and just as important most raised or gave money so that all of these efforts were possible.
It is believed that Polio has been affecting humans for 3,000 years and untold millions of children. Thanks to Rotarians around the world, just like us in Northeast Ohio, we are only 19 cases away from removing this terrible disease from the face of the earth.
Please take the occasion of World Polio Day to make others aware of these efforts, and the importance of eradicating this debilitating disease.
PDG David Skrzynski
Chair, District 6630 International Service Committee
ility – not just the president or club membership chair – and should be part of everything we do each and every month.
Happy New Year to the Family of Rotary of District 6630!
Rotary Year 2018-2019 has kicked off with excitement and a true spirit of inspiration. The Rotary clubs in District 6630 haven’t missed a beat and I have already witnessed firsthand what I already knew – that we are the premiere district in the level of our dedication and commitment. There is not a day that goes by that a life is not better for having been touched by Rotary.
I am honored to be your District Governor and privileged to be guided by a team of Club Presidents “on the move” who are truly People of Action. They are a force to be reckoned with…they are energized and committed to working hard and having fun while doing it. They are diverse in almost every way imaginable representing a multitude of generations, vocations and avocations… all with a single goal in mind. They all want to leave this Rotary year a little bit better than they found it and it is my goal to help them do just that. When you receive their call – please answer it. They can’t succeed without you and I can’t do it without them.
Rotary International President Barry Rassin “believes Rotary still is the organization Paul Harris originally envisioned…a place where people from every corner of this earth can come together to become something greater than themselves.” He wants the impact that we have on our communities and around the world to be sustainable and is committed to strengthening our public image and the use of digital tools to maximize Rotary’s reach.
President Barry believes in our youth…as we do in this district. One of his focuses this year is to strengthen Rotaract and encourage Rotaract Clubs and their members to “take the next step.” There are already plans under way for two new Interact Clubs and we are committed to a renewed focus on our involvement in the Youth Exchange program. See President Barry’s letter and use this link to be connected to his speech at the Rotary International Convention in Toronto (On to Hamburg, now, of course!)
Our District 6630 kicked-off the new Rotary year on July 12 with our annual End Polio Now event at Progressive Field with the Cleveland Indians! Once again, the Children of the World “won” because of your generosity even though the Indians didn’t. Those darn Yankees! We are so appreciative of the participation from our surrounding sister districts, but especially District 6650.
Last Thursday, July 19 was a wonderful gathering of the Family of Rotary and the incredible leaders we have in our district. Governor Amy (2017-2018) and I appreciate so many of you being in attendance to honor those who were committed to Making a Difference last year and to celebrate those who will Be the Inspiration in 2018-2019. It was also a very special opportunity to be able to recognize and honor so many of our Past District Governors and their spouses and partners who have stood by their side. The August Newsletter will include coverage of the event! Thank you to my Home Club – the Rotary Club of Cleveland - for all your support.
We have another extremely important celebration coming up that doesn’t occur very often within the life of a district and that is the chartering of a new Rotary club. Please come and support the Rotary Club of Green on Friday, August 10. We are honored that RI Director Robb Knuepfer will be in attendance to officiate over the charter ceremony. This is a unique example of membership extension as it is a result of a partnership between District 6650 and District 6630! All the details are located on page three of the newsletter.
We all know we are at an important crossroads whereby Rotary as a whole, particularly in North America, needs to continue to find ways to engage its members and grow its membership base. Additional “hands and voices” increases our influence and ability to “do good in the world.”
Since I promised our Club Presidents “the how” (they already know “the what and the why”) we kicked off the year with the first of several membership initiatives by conducting a brainstorming session on the “state of membership” in District 6630.
We will be sharing these results with you as well as the plans that are in process for a regionalized Membership Summit joining together with Districts 6600 and 6650. In the meantime, a recommendation they felt particularly strongly about was to include in our monthly newsletter, effective immediately, a feature entitled “My Rotary Defining Moment.” This is that moment in time in our Rotary journey when it became clear as to what Rotary truly means to each one of us – why we stayed, what ignited our passion and inspired us to do more. And isn’t that what we should each be doing...helping our new and newer members to find their own Rotary Defining Moment? See page thirteen for the first installment! Our August newsletter will contain information about additional district programs that support membership development and engagement.
Rotary started paying it forward about 100 years earlier than it was fashionable…we not only join to serve a need in our communities and around this incredible and challenging world of ours…but we also join to take care of each other and we always receive more than we could ever give. That is what a family does. That is the gift called Rotary.
We will be selling 50/50 raffle tickets at the Cleveland Browns home games.
These tickets will benefit Shoes and Clothes for Kids and help us at the same time!
This is a WIN, Win!! (maybe not for the Browns).
All ticket sellers must be 18 years of age or older.
We need to have 25 ticket sellers for the following dates:
Register for December 10 - Click here

Using their talents, expertise, and leadership, Rotary members worldwide are asked to be gifts to the world this upcoming 2015-16 Rotary year. Rotary International President-elect K.R. "Ravi" Ravindran called Sunday's address to incoming district governors the "most significant moment of my life." All of you have been given so many gifts. And you have now been given this great gift: one year to take all your talents, all your gifts, everything that you are and can become -- and Be a Gift to the World," said Ravindran, revealing his presidential theme at the annual five-day training meeting in San Diego, California, USA. "You have one year to take that potential and turn it into reality. One year to lead the clubs in your district and transform the lives of others. The time is so short, yet there is so much to be done."Highlighting Rotary's biggest challenge, the eradication of polio, Ravindran said, "A future without polio is a gift that we have promised to the children of the world. And indeed it is a gift that we will give."

District 6630 "2015" 4-Way Speech Test Competition
event will be held on Saturday April 11, 2015 at Aurora High School in Aurora, OH.
VIEW THE FOUR WAY TEST SPEECH PAGE FOR TIIME AND REGISTRATION INFORMATION
RI President-elect Gary C.K. Huang chose Light Up Rotary as his theme for 2014-15. Huang was inspired by the teachings of Chinese philosopher Confucious who said: "It is better to light a single candle, than to sit and curse the darkness." "There are so many problems in the world, so many people who need help. Many people say, 'There's nothing I can do.' So they sit there doing nothing. Meanwhile everything stays dark," Huang told the 537 district governors and their spouses and partners who are attending the 2014 International Assembly in San Diego, California.|

While Americans are preparing for flu season, we shouldn't forget global diseases that are less visible -- yet far more devastating -- that require the world's attention.
To many Americans, diseases like polio and measles may seem to be threats of the past. But they continue to cripple and kill children in other parts of the world.
World Polio Day, which we recognized on October 24, is a reminder that even though this disease is gone from the United States, it must not be forgotten.
Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan have not yet been able to stop the transmission of polio. This has far-reaching consequences for all countries, including the United States. As Dr. Thomas Frieden, Director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has said, "Polio anywhere in the world is a risk everywhere in the world."
Polio is a highly contagious disease that moves quickly and does not respect borders. Countries, especially those with a low immunization level against polio, are at risk of importing the disease. A recent outbreak in the Horn of Africa is a sobering reminder that until polio is eradicated, pockets of outbreaks will continue to paralyze children for life.
We must put an end to this devastating disease.

Last Saturday's Interact District Dodge-ball Tournament was a big success with Interact clubs fielding 11 Dodge-ball Teams!
Congratulations to the winning team, the "Slendermen", from North Royalton Broadview Heights! As the winners they got to choose International charity to receive all the proceeds from the event - their choice to send the proceeds to Polio Plus will help immunize hundreds of children against polio!
Every one had a great time playing dodge-ball, eating pizza, and socializing.
Having a great time, raising funds, and completing an International project. Another stroke of genius put together by the Interact Club of North Royalton Broadview Heights - they deserve congratulations too!
At long last... Hope you enjoy this month's Newsletter (click to open). I am hoping to have an earlier deadline for the March issue (say March 11th). Thanx to all of you who contributed this month. Here's hoping that some of the clubs that have not contributed to this point might submit something for the March Newsletter.

Greetings Rotarians:
I know you all have been anxiously awaiting this month's District Newsletter. Well, we had some technical difficulties this month. Because of these difficulties you will not be able to zoom in on the photos in this edition as you usually would. You can still click on the Rotary emblem and logo as well as the attached documents to get larger, downloadable versions or to be taken to a great video and some Rotary/Olympic news. I hope you enjoy it. Club Secretaries, please forward the newsletter to the rest of your Club if your members' email addresses have not been submitted to the District. If you are not sure, please forward it anyway. Remember, the purpose of the Newsletter is to share what your Club is doing and see what is going on outside of your Club. To read the Newsletter just CLICK HERE. If you find the print is too small to read you can enlarge the document (depending on what pdf reader you are using the actual methods vary) Please send articles for the August Edition no later than Aug 5th.

For the past three years, Rotary clubs have illuminated landmarks and iconic structures around the world with the humanitarian group's dramatic pledge to End Polio Now. This year's round of light displays takes on added significance due to the progress Rotary and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative have made in India. In January, India -- until recently an epicenter of the crippling childhood disease -- reached a historic milestone by marking a full year without recording a single new case.
Please enjoy...click here to download There are several video links in this month's edition including a link to Rotary Radio where you can watch and listen to past programs. Thanx to all of you who support the newsletter by submitting articles etc. This month's is 13 pages worth. I'll bet DG Steve is glad we are no longer printing and mailing! Remember it was on Feb 23rd 1905 that Paul Harris gathered with three friends to hold the first ever Rotary meeting. Happy Birthday Rotary!

Hope all of you Veterans got the recognition you deserved last week! This month's newsletter has a couple of articles written by Rotarian veterans.
CLICK TO VIEW NEWSLETTER NOW!
Please check out all the links from photos etc. Please note the clipart flag and cornucopia don't lead anywhere. Please remember that this newsletter is a vehicle by which all Rotarians and Clubs can share interesting items with the rest of the District. As far as I am concerned any Rotarian may make a submission (your club leadership may think differently so you may want to ask first). My requests for articles go to every member in the District's database so don't worry that I have contacted the wrong person from your club. The "right" person was contacted too. Just remember when submitting article to consider the readership... Would you find this article interesting if it came from a different club? Hope you enjoy the newsletter and have a happy and safe Thanksgiving... no premature napping at the dinner table!

I hope you enjoy this month's District Newsletter. Remember it's an empy shell until clubs in the District contibute. Thanx to everyone who did so this month. Please be sure to find all the links. I think everyone should be especially moved by the 2 videos embedded in the Rotary emblem links. I think the videos are quite good (you may also veiw them on our District home page). Also, once you get to Rotary International's own YouTube channel, you can check out some other great videos. You can even link to them from your clubs' own websites. Remember, the deadline to submit articles is about the end of the month before the newsletter is published (end of October for November Edition). You usually get a little latitude on that. Keep in mind that if you have an event you want publicized, if it is before the 20th of the month be sure to submit for the month before's edition.
