continues today.
Hope all is
well with you. You are such a gift to the NYC club.

Thank you Helen! I hope

In response to all
congratulations, Helen sent me the following message:
Dear Matts,
Thank you for sharing
our latest "exciting news" with the rest of the Rotary World. I have
already received many E-mails and phone calls of congratulations and support
(including yours.) This certainly makes me proud. I will continue to do my very
best to live up to the show of confidence when I become District Governor of
District 7230 in 2005. I view it as an opportunity to inspire more clubs to
feel the "Spirit of Rotary” and work together as a team for the good of
humanity.
My thanks to all.
Sincerely,
Helen Reisler

will not have any funding available to take on any new kids this year - despite
the enormous need - all the current funding is going into the kids already on
the programme. I thought about the comparison in values when I hired a
car for 5 days in
The College reopens on
