World President 2010/2011

Ray Klinginsmith

Bigger, Better, and Bolder!
Rotary is the premier service
club organization in the world,
and all Rotarians should be
proud of our achievements.
Rotary is now on the world stage
due to PolioPlus, and our public
image is better than ever.

Yet,we should not be spoiled by
our success at the international level

because the real test of success for Rotary is
the strength and vitality of our clubs!
The Board adopted a revised RI Strategic Plan at its
November 2009 meeting that clearly recognizes the
importance of our clubs, and the first priority of the
new plan is to support and strengthen clubs. I agree
wholeheartedly, and I have appointed 41 new Rotary
coordinators to provide assistance to our clubs
and districts. Simply stated, their job is to help the
district governors to help the clubs.
Rotary lives and breathes in our 33,000 clubs,
and it is the clubs that improve lives by Building
Communities — Bridging Continents. If we succeed
in helping our clubs to become Bigger, Better, and
Bolder in the next year, then it is clear that the best
days of Rotary are still ahead. We are fortunate to
be Rotarians! Together, we can make the world a
better place!

From Noel Allen of the Rotary Club of Swan Valley

Gday Phil
Thought you might be interested in this.
Geraldine and I have just returned from a trip to Helsinki

to attend the wedding of one of our Club’s

former exchange students, Kati Viherma.
Kati, was with our Club in 1997-98.

Kati is one of a set of twins,

thankfully, not an identical twin because her new husband, Timo,

has an absolutely identical twin brother.
Both brothers studied for 6 years and qualified as Engineers

as their Father is an Engineer.

However, they both decided that engineering was not for them

and each have studied a further 6 years each to qualify in other professions.

Kati’s husband is now a Medical Doctor specialising in Orthopaedics

while Kati has gone onto qualify as a Lawyer.
Part of our trip over included a river cruise on a ship

with less than 70 couples on board.

Apart from ourselves, there was another couple from Australia

travelling to visit their grandson who was on Rotary Exchange in France.

There was another two couples from America travelling to visit

former exchange students in Germany and Amsterdam.

Four out of 70 seemed a fairly high percentage.
Add to that, two of our tour guides were former exchange students

who credited the program for their excellent English.
Cheers Noel

"QUOTE OF THE WEEK"

SMILE!!!!

The chief of a poor Native American tribe,

where there were no paved roads, no electricity,

and no indoor plumbing,

scrimped and saved and finally was able to send his eldest son to college.

The lad did well, working hard for four years

and finally graduating with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering.
Arriving home after graduation, the boy was treated to a welcoming party,

complete with plenty of refreshments.

Shortly after he retired to sleep, the son was awakened by a call of nature.

Exiting the hut, he proceeded down the road to the outhouse,

only to stumble and fall because of the lack of lights.
The next day, the son decided to put his education to work.

He sat down, did the calculations,

and prepared construction drawings for a lighting system for the outhouse,

complete with lights for the path leading to it.

It was constructed and was an immediate success.

This chief’s son will go down in history

as the first Indian to wire a head for a reservation.
