A big Thank You! to PDG Elly Contreras for providing us with an updated Zone Logo incorporating the new Rotary wheel.

The results are in and despite being in the lead by some 4,000 votes early on New Years Eve, our Shriner friends edged us out in the end leaving Rotary in second place.

Thanks to all for your effort. We can be proud of being the Runner-Up and if the opportunity arises again, we will do better.

Dear Friends and fellow Rotarians,

What an exciting and historic time to be a Rotarian and to be part of the tremendous legacy of polio eradication!  We are closer than ever to reaching our goal and fulfilling our promise of a world free from polio.  The numbers of polio cases being reported globally are low in the endemic countries.  However, polio outbreaks such as we are experiencing in Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia are a reminder of why we need to succeed in the interruption of the transmission of the wild poliovirus in the endemic countries as soon as possible.  Our work must continue and you can be a part of the efforts.

Information on the Zones 24 & 32 Beyond Borders function in Sydney, will be posted very shortly and you will be able to purchase tickets online.

Come back soon!

Rotary institutes bring future, current and past RI officers together to learn about the latest Rotary developments, including RI policies and programs. Of course, Rotary at its best is supposed to be fun and so we plan to provide ample time and opportunites for you to enjoy the wonders of Philadelphia.

Glenn E. Estess Sr., who served as 2004-05 RI president during Rotary’s centennial year, died on 7 February. He was 84.

Rotarians around the world have helped Rotary’s Challenge for polio eradication reach the US$200 million milestone. Rotary Foundation Trustee John Germ, chair of the challenge committee, made the announcement on 17 January at the International Assembly in San Diego, California, USA. Although this important financial milestone has been reached, the goal of global polio eradication remains.
