District Governor Pays Newport Club a Visit
Governor Nancy Barbee visited our Club and sat down with us for an informal chat. Her focus was on the goals set for the year 2009-2010.
The first is the total eradication of Polio, with all district 7730 clubs aiding International Rotary match a 255 million donation by Bill Gates. Each club needs to match with a $2,000.00 donation the RI Polio fund. To further highlight this endeavor, our Rotary District is holding "Hands On for Polio Awareness" week, Feb 21 to 28, 2010.
February 1 to 10, Governor Nancy will be leading a polio National Immunization Day to Bahir, India. The cost to join into this trip is approximately $3500.00 per person, but to offset this cost, the Governor has earmarked $10,000.00 to be split among the participants.
We need to strive to make all our members Paul Harris Fellows and try to exceed $100.00 per sustaining member.
Our District Conference is set for April 30, May 1-2, 2010 and is being held at the Hilton in New Bern. Governor Nancy is hoping to have 1000 District 7730 Rotarians in attendance. A large part of her agenda will be the honoring our Military, and our Youth; A RYLA reunion, and Rotoract and Interact Rallies. Why not plan on attending yourself?
Rotary Leadership Institutes are coming up and if you are interested, check our Database Calendar for dates and information.
There is another new club forming in Leland, NC and they hope to be charterd by December, 2009.
Looks like a very busy year!
