Fellow Rotarians,

 

The speaker at our next meeting on October 15th is Tom Lipscomb, who is the Chairman of The Center for the Digital Future and CEO of CardiACT Inc., a medical technology company in New York. You can read more about Tom Lipscomb in the latest Bulletin on our website at www.nyrotary.org/Bulletin/bulletin101502.pdf.

 

Peter Brizard has written Reporter of the Week in the Bulletin. Peter became a member this year and his classification is Independent CPA. Good work Peter!

 

Our Foundation Chairman Morton Eydenberg has written an important message in the Members Column of the Bulletin. He and his wife were in an automobile accident last summer while riding in the backseat wearing seatbelts. This prevented them from getting hurt. Mort’s message to us is that we need to wear seatbelts even when we ride in the back seat of a car.

 

There is an announcement in the Bulletin about our Community Outreach Program on October 29th. You can read more about it in the Bulletin.

 

Our Gift of Life Chairman Bill Currie has written in the Bulletin about the heart surgeries of the children Karina Viushkina, Jovan Pejcic and Katherine Espinosa. Thank you Bill for doing such a great work saving these children’s lives and thanks to Past President Ed Gray for sponsoring the surgery of Katherine Espinosa. I also thank the doctors and surgeons for providing their services free of charge and thanks to Ronald McDonald House for giving the children a place to stay during their recovery. You can read about it in the latest Bulletin.

 

The Bulletin also announces the two new members. Alfred DeMaria and Susanne Ungar. Welcome to our legendary club! I look forward to see you at our meetings.

 

You can also read in the Bulletin about our upcoming Cocktail Reception with Music at The Kitana Hotel, 66 Park Ave, New York, Garden Cafe', Lobby Level.

 

Walter Eichenberger celebrates his birthday on October 25th. Happy birthday Walter!

 

The International Service Division will have their next Breakfast Meeting on Wednesday October 16th. You can read more about it on our website at www.nyrotary.org/int_service_div/int_service_div.html.

 

Our Rotary experience has expanded through the Internet. I recently received the following e-mail from Rotarian P.C. Thomas’ comments about Lillian Coury's open forum discussion:

 

Dear Rtn Matts Ingemanson,

I am in receipt of your News Letter sent vide e-mail dated 27th September
and thank you for the same.

I am certain that Rtn. Lillian Coury's open forum discussion will help us in
identifying the principals and guiding forces that will enable us, the
Rotarians, to attract new members and retain them in the Rotary fold.

I take this opportunity to wish the members of Rotary Club of New York all
success in their Rotary endeavors.

With warm regards,

Yours sincerely,


P.C. THOMAS

 

Sam Heard from the Rotary Club of Pearl Harbor visited our club last month and sat at my table. When Sam returned to Hawaii, he sent me the following message:

 

Dear Matts,

 

Thanks for keeping me in the Rotary of NY loop!  I am back here in Hawaii, but I remember fondly my meeting you and your club. Do keep me on your list.

 

If any of your members are going to be coming to Hawaii, I extend an invitation for them to meet with us, the Rotary Club of Pearl Harbor.  (and yes, Pearl Harbor is in a state!)    We meet Mondays at noon at the Honolulu Country Club.   I'll be looking forward to seeing some New Yorkers!

 

Aloha,

Sam Heard           

 

Thank you Sam! That’s the true spirit of Rotary.
