The Rotary
Club of New York
Fellow Rotarians,
Our next meeting on September 3rd
will be Fellowship Day with each one of us as the speaker for the day. You can
read more about it in the Bulletin at www.nyrotary.org/Bulletin/bulletin090302fellowshipday.pdf
Past
Trustee Bill Hall wrote Reporter of the Week. Bill has been a member since 1981
and his classification is Architecture - Professional. Bill has written a
fascinating description of David Roosevelt’s speech. It makes me wish I were
there. I was out-of-town and I enjoyed reading about it in the Bulletin.
More and more new members join our legendary
club. This week, we welcome Mikhail Petrov from Digital Edge, Rear Admiral
Giovanni Vitaloni and Raffaello Gherardini from Capital Partners 2000, Inc. as
new members. I see that President Silvio Amori and Director Giorgio Balestrieri
have been active enrolling these members. You can read more about it in the
latest Bulletin.
The Bulletin also
informs us that the Chairman of the New York Rotary Foundation Mort Eydenberg
celebrates his birthday on September 6th. Mort is also a driving
force behind the success of the Rotary Club of New York Electronic Learning
Center, which makes it possible for several thousand
children in Harlem to enter the
electronic world. You can read more about the Electronic
Learning Center on our website at www.nyrotary.org/e-center/e-center.html.
When I listened to Rotary Radio last Tuesday, they mentioned that
a local Rotary Club printed a sticker for cars that said: Good Bye Polio - Thanks Rotary. It is such a great
slogan that I wish the sticker will be available to Rotarians all over the
world. It describes in a single sentence a major achievement of Rotary. You can
find out more about Rotary Radio on our website at www.NYRotary.org.
As Vice Chairman of Rotary’s Global
History Project at www.RotaryHistory.org, I am pleased to announce
that the outstanding historian and research
coordinator, Doug Rudman has joined the Rotary History Executive Committee as
VP of Research. Doug has already written many interesting articles, which you
can find at http://rotaryhistory.org/committee/contributors/rudman.htm.
Of special interest to us in District 7230 are his web pages about the first
women District Governors in Rotary History in 1995-1996 at www.rotarywomen.org/firstdgs/index.htm.
This exclusive group of pioneer women includes our own Past District Governor
Gilda Ghirafisi. You can read more about Gilda at www.rotarywomen.org/firstdgs/chirafisi/index.htm.
Gilda remains very active in district 7230 and I don’t know how our district
would be able to manage without her.
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.nyrotary.org/Bulletin/RSVP090302.pdf.
Our fax number is 212-633-1954. Princeton Club’s culinary
staff will set up a Buffet for us.
Don’t
forget to pay the annual dues and luncheon payments for the first half of our
fiscal year 2002-2003.

Enjoy the Great Fellowship
of Rotary!
