February, 2010
Dear District 5150 Rotarians, Rotaractors, Interactors and Family of Rotary,
February is World Understanding Month. Somehow that seems so appropriate. I know that you recognized the situation in Haiti required immediate action and so many of you stepped forward to help in the aftermath of the tragic earthquake. Many thanks for your incredible generosity. Of course our work in Rotary is not done as much more help will be needed in the coming months and years. You might start thinking about projects that your club can do to help in the rebuilding efforts that will be needed. Think about the kinds of things your club will focus on. With funds from our annual giving The Rotary Foundation is there for the long term and can help you fund your future projects.
I know that many clubs in the District are still doing the “Pocket Change for Polio” drive. I urge you to please keep filling your containers – over and over and over – like the small drops of polio vaccine we distribute. Every bit helps in preventing this dread disease. It’s the little steps we take that lead to big results. I think you will be surprised by what you end up raising by the end of this Rotary year. We WILL keep our promise to the children of the world --- we WILL eradicate polio!! Please keep track of how much you collect and let PDG Russ Ketron know. We will be announcing the results at the District Conference in April.
I hope you have registered already as we expect to sell out our meeting place at the Four Seas Restaurant. We have interesting panels, a business networking session planned along with Rotaract and Interact fun, exciting speakers (a little magic too), entertainment and fabulous food. On Saturday evening we will be celebrating our newly formed Golden Gate Chapter of the Rotary Wine Appreciation Fellowship with a wonderful wine dinner, speakers from the sparkling wine industry and an evening cruise on the Bay. Don’t miss the fun – register on the District Website NOW – before it’s too late!!
DISTRICT 5150 SKIERS! – Our weekend at Kirkwood is fast approaching. The snow is fabulous up there. If you haven’t signed up yet Check the District Website for details and registration or contact Lisa Fish - jlisaann@aol.com or Peter Bretan -bretan.surgery@usa.net for more information
