The Rotary Club of
New York
Fellow Rotarians,
Our next meeting on October 22nd was originally planned to be Germany Day, but it had to be cancelled. Don’t worry! It will be rescheduled with the promised bratwurst and sauerkraut. Our next meeting will instead be a Fellowship Day with ourselves as the speakers. We can speak to each other, about our businesses, our ideas, our committees, and ourselves. There is more about this Fellowship Day in the latest Bulletin on our website at www.nyrotary.org/Bulletin/bulletin102202.pdf.
Jim Thompson wrote Reporter of the Week in the Bulletin. Jim came to our legendary club in 1999 as the Past President of a Rotary Club on Staten Island. Jim has done a tremendous job for our club, identifying and qualifying grant recipients for the Rotary Club of New York World Trade Center Fund. You can read about it on our website at http://www.nyrotary.org/Foundation/foundation.html. Jim was also interviewed on Rotary Radio on July 9th together with Helen Reisler and myself. You can listen to recordings of these interviews on the Internet at http://12.162.161.64/cart/ProductDetail.asp?PR_ProductID=329.
The Bulletin
informs us that on October 29th, we will start a periodical outreach program
regarding our various divisions and committees. Shortly prior to the meeting
and after the meeting, committee representatives will inform you about their
projects on how we can get involved.
Last week, I wrote
about Gift of Life Chairman Bill Currie and the upcoming surgeries of Karina
Viushkina, Jovan Pejcic and Katherine Espinosa. Bill has since then written an
update about the surgeries, which you can read in the latest Bulletin. Bill
finished with the following words:
Please
visit these children whenever you can, it is one of Rotary's great "hands
on" projects. I guarantee you will receive a great, wonderful feeling when
you see the smile that you can bring to one of these kids and you should be
proud of our part in helping to bring this gift of life to more than two-dozen
children since we became involved with the program.
Bill Curry
also invites us to the Gift of Life 2002 American Heart Walk Sunday, October
27th, 2002 at 8:30 am to help raise money for American Heart Association
research. There is more about it in the Bulletin.
Let me remind you
about the upcoming Cocktail Reception with Music at The Kitana Hotel at 66 Park
Avenue with sing - along conducted by David and Susan Dingle. David is our
great piano player, who plays at our meetings and he almost never misses any
meetings. There is more information about the Cocktail
Reception on our website at www.nyrotary.org/
and at www.nyrotary.org/Bulletin/kitano%20flyer.pdf.
