I conic landmarks around the world served as the backdrop for the End Polio Now message the week of 23 February in honor of Rotary’s 106th anniversary. They included the Trevi Fountain in Rome; a Lantern Festival gate in Taiwan; the parliament building in The Hague; the globe of the SM Mall of Asia in Manila, Philippines; the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation headquarters in Seattle, Washington, USA; Byblos Castle in Byblos, Lebanon; and the soccer stadium in Cape Town, South Africa, among others.
Every week we receive club bulletins from the clubs in our group 5 for District 9700. This week the RC of Temora (who are not in our group) sent us their bulletin.
ENJOY!

A closing-bell ceremony at the New York Stock Exchange was rung by RI President Ray Klinginsmith and Michael Watson, Sanofi Pasteur’s vice president of global immunization policy. Watch the event at www.nyse.com .
The date is significant to Rotary. February 23 marks the 106 anniversary of the first Rotary Club meeting which was held in Chicago.
As part of Wednesday’s event in New York, Rotary was able to highlight its 26 year mission to eradicate polio. In 2010, there were fewer than a thousand new cases of polio for the first time in recorded history.
The first four Rotarians — Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, Hiram E. Shorey, Paul P. Harris.
On 23 February 1905, Paul P. Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, and Hiram E. Shorey gathered in Loehr’s office for what would become known as the first Rotary club meeting.
Harris’s desire for camaraderie among business associates brought together these four men and eventually led to an international organization of service and fellowship.
Past Chair of ROTI Rotarians On The Internet meets Paul Harris in Evanston Illinois. Paul founded Rotary 106 years ago. Paul would be amazed at what has become of his idea back in Chicago all those years ago. Rotary continues to go from strength to strength.
To those who do not know what Rotary is about here is a good video, for those who are Rotarians it is a good reminder of who we are and what we do.
