The Rotary Club of
New York
Fellow Rotarians,
The speaker at our next meeting on February 4th
is the Honorable Eliot Spitzer, New York State Attorney General. He is
currently the hottest politician in New York, maybe in America. His
investigations of conflicts of interest on Wall Street have been the catalyst
for dramatic reform in the financial services industry. His investigations of
Internet companies have resulted in new privacy protections for consumers
throughout the nations. His prosecutions of sophisticated white-collar crimes
have resulted in some of the nation’s largest fraud recoveries. I would not be
surprised if Mr. Spitzer will become a serious contender in the next Governor
election. You can read more about Eliot Spitzer in the latest Weekly Bulletin
on our website at www.nyrotary.org/Bulletin/bulletin_02-04-2003.pdf
(click on the link to download it from our
website). It is important
that you make a reservation for this meeting. We expect many people. Our legendary
club has seen a lot of distinguished speakers, but the anticipation of Eliot
Spitzer has been electric. The expectation has the same kind of energy as
before a rock show. People are coming out of the woodwork for this event. Even
our District Governor Bob Benson is coming to see Mr. Spitzer speak.
Lou DiPaolo has written the latest Reporter of the Week. Lou has
been a member of our club since 1979 and he is a Member of the Board of
Directors. His classification is Document Copy-Digital Printing. Lou is also a
retired Marine, who defended our country in Pacific during the Second World War
and fought at the Battle of Iwo Jima. You can read Lou’s Reporter of the Week in the latest Bulletin.
During our last Christmas Holiday, I suggested jokingly that we
start a Rotary Club on the North Pole. Everybody knows that would be
impossible, but we did not know that there actually is a Rotary Club on the
South Pole. The name is Rotary Club Base Marambio-Antartida and
it was founded in 1997. It has 11 members. If you like to make up there, they
meet every Wednesday evening at 7:00 PM on Base Marambio. Many thanks to the
researchers at History of Rotary Project for this information. You can read
more about this project on the web at www.HistoryofRotary.org. I am proud to be its
Vice Chairman.
Our Group Study Exchange Project is going well with increasing
interest from prospective Team Members. You can find
