Welcome to Rotary District 6800! |
| |
I am proud of Rotary's
contributions to our communities and to the world, and I
am proud to be a Rotarian. To me, Rotary represents so
many of the things in this world that are good. I know
that the forty-plus Rotary clubs
 in
District 6800 are making their respective communities
better places in which to live.
RI President Ray Klinginsmith's theme for 2010-2011 is particularly
descriptive of what Rotary does. In that sense,
"Building Communities - Bridging Continents" is
something every Rotarian can identify with because it is
what we do every day around the world. President Ray has
placed polio eradication number one on his list of
priorities and we have certainly Bridged Continents in
accomplishing a 99% reduction in this disease so far. We
now must work harder than ever in finishing the last 1%
so that polio will forever be gone from our communities.
We currently have four remaining countries with polio;
Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, and Nigeria. These
countries spell PAIN and that is what it is going to be
to complete the eradication of polio.
As successful as we are and as hard as you work, we can do better!
Each Club is essential to our success, but each Club is
different in their approach to our problems. Take time
to visit other Clubs and you will be surprised how
much you will learn. Take advantage of all of the
information available to you; The Rotarian, the RI and
District websites, downloads from YouTube, PSA,
Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. There is a whole new
world out there waiting for your discoveries. Plan now
to attend the
RI Convention in New Orleans, May 21-25, 2011. This
is a city known for good times!
