Kalyan Banerjee,

Celebrate Rotary Awareness Month by training members on Rotary history or asking a member to share a personal story or experience that they have had because of Rotary. Every Rotarian has a Rotary story that can be educational and inspiring. The beginning of a new year is a good opportunity to renew inspiration for the rest of the Rotary

The Object of Rotary

The object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:: First: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service, Second: High ethical standards in business and professions. The recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying by each Rotarian of his occupation as an opportunity to service society. Third: The application of the ideal of service by every Rotarian to his personal business, and community life: Fourth: The advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional men and women united in the ideal of service

Neighborhood House

It was ONLY a few years ago The Bearing, August 27, 1975 Submitted by Rotarian Al McCombs The bell and bucket were back but the budget was missing, so President Al (Searfoss) adjourned his Aug. 14 board meeting in order to consider a budget he said contains a $1,300 contingency account because President Loren (Stone) did so well in leaving the club well-healed. The first raising of the flags at the new civic center will take place next July, at which time the flagpoles donated by the Chino Rotary will be dedicated The location of the monthly board meetings has been changed to Sambos Restaurant (now the Chase bank branch on Central Ave. south of Philadelphia) at 7 a.m. on the second Thursday of the month. District Governor Stan Warburton is asking the cooperation of area clubs in giving the floundering Montclair club a boost. President Al also asks that all courtesies be shown the Montclair Club (which met Wednesday noon) by visiting Rotarians, and please soft pedal the cracks about their small size. Chino is their sponsor, so we have a certain obligation to help build them up. The district has given them until December 31 to get on a strong footing. (It didnt workthey didnt last.) Bert Griggs and Merrill Finnerty were each fined $15, which helped to purchase a pine tree. Berts and Merrills tree can now be seen at Magnolia Junior High. Dick Meyer thanks each of them for their donation. (Dick, is the tree still there?)
(Bert was CIM Superintendent; Merrill managed the Security Pacific Bank.)

Wheelchair Distribution Hermosillo, Mexico June 13-17, 2012

We have just received confirmation from The Wheelchair Foundation and the Rotary Clubs in Hermosillo, Mexico that our distribution dates are now set for June 13-17, 2012. Due to your Districts outstanding contributions in excess of $75,000, we were able to get a matching grant through The Rotary Foundation to allow us to distribute three containers in Mexico this year. The first two containers comprising 280 wheelchairs each (560 wheelchairs) will go to Hermosillo. The third container (280 wheelchairs) has been allocated for the Morelia/ Puruandiro Area of Michoacn. This date has not yet been determined. The committee is working very hard to come up with travel arrangements that will allow us to get as many District Rotarians/Family/Friends to participate in this very worthy and heartfelt hand on experience. Please consider joining us in these distributions. More news will follow.

Congratulations Rotary and Thank you Bill Gates!

Rotarian Gene Hernandez, past District Governor and club president, announced the Rotary theme next year will be Peace Through Service. Appropriately he announced that the $2Million Gates Matching Grant has been reached and exceeded. The Gates program has now given Rotary another $50 million. If there is no Polio cases reported in three years in typical endemic countries such as India, Polio will be consider nonendemic!
