Fellow Rotarians,
Our next meeting on April
6th will be Rotary Scholars Day. It is a great opportunity to meet
our Rotary Scholars. The most powerful way to promote international
understanding and peace is the exposure to different cultures. You can read more about Rotary Scholars Day in the latest Bulletin on our website at www.nyrotary.org/bulletin2004/bulletin_04-06-2004.pdf (click on the link).
This week’s Reporter of
the Week in the Bulletin is written by Takako Johnson, who became a member of
our legendary Rotary Club in 1989. Her classification is Real Estate – Office
Leasing. Thank you Takako for your report!
On March 19, 2004 at the
Grand Hotel Duomo in Milan, New York Rotarians celebrated an evening with our fellow Rotarians at the
Rotary Club of Milano Aquileia. There were 150 Rotarians from Milan present
and from our club the following members had come all the way from New York:
President Greg Lynch, Immediate Past President Silvio Amori with wife
Margaretha, PDG Paul Caruso with wife Gail, Board Director Giorgio Balestrieri,
Roberto and Massimiliano Mattei, Scarlett Pildes and Executive Director Andreas
Runggatscher with wife Monica. You can read more about this event on our
website at http://www.nyrotary.org/milano/index.htm.
There are also many pictures.
The Board of Directors
has approved two new members. They are Jacob Letowsky from JP Morgan Chase and
One of President Greg Lynch’s goals is that all our members
participate in the Paul Harris Fellowship program. He offers a Paul Harris
Fellowship for half the cost. You can read about Greg’s offer at on our website
at www.nyrotary.org/paul_harris/paul_harris_fellowship.pdf.
Rotary International President Jonathan Majiyagbe’s theme this
year is “Lend a Hand.” I understand that to mean that we try to lend as many
hands as possible. Our Rotary District 7230 is now lending two hands:
The first project is to help cure Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus

As I finished writing this
newsletter, I received the following message from Executive Director Andreas
Runggatscher. It was written by New York Rotary Director Lou DiPaolo:
Dear Andreas,
Carl Ficke called and
asked that our NY Rotarians get the news that Howard MacPherson fell and broke
his hip. He is now recuperating with a hip replacement
at
(845) 357-1230
Carl asked that we
remember Howard in our prayers and send our get well cards to him at the
rehab center. Could you get this information to Matts for online mail and also
add it to the next Bulletin.
Thanks,
Lou
An additional request:
Carl and Howard are
both Honorary Presidents of our NY Rotary Club. Could you add them to our
weekly Bulletin mailing list by Carl's special request? He is 90, Howard
is 100! If you don't have their home addresses please let me know. Thanks
again,
Lou DiPaolo
Let’s hope and pray that Howard will have a speedy recovery, so
that he can get back to living his next 100 years. Please send me Howard’s and
Carl’s e-mail addresses, so I can include them in our mailing list. You are
never too old to use the Internet!
Rotary is about having
fun
and do good
things!
