District Governor Sterne presented a power point and spoke to our club regarding this years “Peace Through Service” campaign as well as the Rotary International Foundations positive influence in continuing the fight to eradicate Polio. The Governor was please to share with our club that in 2012 there have been NO NEW cases of Polio reported in India.  Further he stated that our District 7090 was known at Rotary International as one of four

 

On a personal note, the Governor has initiated the “High Five” campaign during his term for all Rotarians.  Using the five fingers from one hand beginning with the thumb, 1. Have Fun in Rotary. 2.  Think outside the box.  3. Three “P’s” [People, Programs, Project Work].   4. Make Rotary Foundation one of your Charities of choice. 5. Join Rotary.  (Be sure to “High Five” someone today!).

 

 Fine Master Paul Banas did a great job this evening with fines.  The scribe was so interested in his fining technique at this meeting she neglected to write down who was fined…. I guess that could be a fine at the next meeting!
