2003
Fellow
Rotarians,
Our
legendary Rotary Club has had many impressive speakers and our next meeting on
April 29th is no exception. The speaker will be the Honorable
Charles Barron, who is City Council Member in New York City. You can read more
about Council Member Barron in the latest Bulletin on the Internet at http://ussterilizer.com/bulletin_04-29-2003.pdf

Also at our next meeting, the New York Rotary Foundation will
donate $100,000 to the Rotary Polio Plus Program. Leading representatives from
Rotary International and District Governor Bob Benson will be there.
The Group Study Exchange Team from South Africa will also attend
our next meeting and I will have the opportunity to introduce the team to our
members. Many distinguished members of our Group Study Exchange Committee will
also be there, including District Governor Bob Benson, Past District Governor
Chuck Katze, District Governor Nominee Don Lee, South African Counsel Ivan
Vosloo, Past Assistant District Governor Neil O’Connell, New York Rotary
President Elect Greg Lynch and Rotary Club of the Bronx Past President Jim
Romeo. It will be a great opportunity to meet our Group Study Exchange
Committee Members in person.
On behalf of the Group Study Exchange Committee, I want to thank
the New York Rotary Foundation and its Chairman Mort Eydenberg for the Foundation’s
contribution of $2,000 to our Group Study Exchange Program.

You

The Bulletin
reminds us about the upcoming Rotary Jazz Cocktail Party at the Cornell Club on

organizing this event. There is a special page about the event in the latest
Bulletin.
The second week with the District 9250 GSE Team
