The Rotary
Club of New York
Fellow Rotarians,
It is has become easier to reach our website. We have a new, short
and easy-to-remember domain name. The new name is NYRotary.org.
It is now much easier to tell Rotarians where to find our website. You can also
still reach our website using the old domain name NewYorkCityRotary.org.
Our next meeting on August 20th will
be Governor’s Day with District Governor Bob Benson. Bob wants to increase our
involvement in the international community. You can read more about DG Bob
Benson in the Bulletin at www.nyrotary.org/Bulletin/BULLETIN,%20AUGUST%2020,%202002.pdf.
The Bulletin has an impressive list of Bob’s achievements. I can add another
item to the list. Bob not only planned and executed a week of activities for
the Group Study Exchange from Denmark; he was also the District Group Leader
for our team that went to Denmark for a whole month.
Lilian
Coury wrote Reporter of the Week. Lilian has been a member since 1999 and her
classification is Executive Coach. She has written a great description of what
happened last week. I was especially touched by the part about Joe Sullivan’s
wife. I read that Bernie Wytko played the piano. It probably means that our
regular piano player David Dingle was not at the meeting, one of the few times
he has not been there.
I was not
at the last meeting myself, because I had a speaking engagement at the Rotary
Club of Lake Hopatcong in New Jersey. I spoke about what happened in our Club
during the 9/11 disaster. I pointed out that when there is a major catastrophe
in our hometown, we Rotarians always take action to help. The 9/11 disaster
happened in our hometown, so it was natural for us to take action to help. We
did so with the generous support from Rotarians around the world. I believe
that Rotarians anywhere would do the same, if a disaster happened in their own
backyard.
Our
Treasurer Bill Currie, who has been a member since 1988, works very hard with
Gift of Life. Bill has written in the Bulletin about our very special child
Tatiana Porushnik. Bill has helped save the lifes of many children and his
greatest reward is to see the smiling faces of these children.
You can also read in the Bulletin about “BICYCLE RIDE 4 THE CURE”
for Children’s Leukemia Foundation. It starts in Central Park on August 25th
and they will finish their ride in San Francisco on December 7th.
Don’t forget to reserve your table for our next meeting. You can
do so via e-mail to our office at ny.rotary@verizon.net, or call Andreas or Ana at
212-633-1311. You can also fax in
the RSVP form, which you can download at www.newyorkcityrotary.org/Bulletin/rsvp081302.pdf.
Our fax number is 212-633-1954. Princeton Club’s
culinary staff will serve us Roasted Breast of Chicken.
Don’t
forget to pay the annual dues and luncheon payments for the first half of our
fiscal year 2002-2003.
I recommend that you visit our New York Rotary
website every week at www.NYRotary.org.
Enjoy the Worldwide
