October is Vocational Month
October is
Vocational Month and that brings a great deal of focus onto one of Rotary’s key
platforms.
Events that recognize the worthiness of all vocations and
professions will be conducted by clubs
right across our region and people will
be acknowledged for their dedication and commitment to their chosen fields.
The
origin and history of Rotary strongly features Vocational Service,
the second
of our five Avenues of Service.
It promotes high ethical standards in business
and professions,
recognizes the worthiness of all dignified occupations,
and
fosters the ideal of service in the pursuit of all vocations.
These are worthy
ambitions, worthy of strong attachment by all Rotarians

By Rotary International General Secretary John Hewko
What a momentous week it has been for Rotary and polio
eradication in the Big Apple.
As you know, on 27 September Rotary participated in a historic session on
polio eradication convened by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon during the 67th
UN General Assembly. You can watch the entire session here,
and view additional photos here.
Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair Wilfrid J. Wilkinson announced
to world leaders and our polio eradication partners that Rotary is pledging
another US$75 million to fight polio, adding to our total contribution of
nearly $1.2 billion since the launch of our PolioPlus program in 1985. That
follows the $228 million we announced earlier this year in response to the $355
million challenge grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Chair Wilf also presented Secretary-General Ban with our online
petition in support of polio eradication, signed by more than 6,000 concerned
citizens from around the world via our new web site, endpolionow.org
The Secretary-General and other leaders repeatedly acknowledged
Rotary’s leadership role in polio eradication.
“I am especially grateful to the Rotarians and Rotary
International,” Ban said. “They launched PolioPlus in 1985, when people
suffered from polio in more than 125 countries. Since then, Rotary
International joined forces with the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the
U.S. Centers for Disease Control to lead the Global Polio Eradication
Initiative. That brought us to this decisive moment.”
Then two days later, Rotary shared the polio eradication message
with the entire world during the Global Citizen Festival concert in Central
Park, headlined by Foo Fighters, The Black Keys, and Neil Young, who is himself
a polio survivor. The concert drew a live audience of more than 60,000
cause-committed people and was the largest syndicated charity concert in online
and broadcast television history, according to the Global Poverty Project,
which organized the event. View photos here.
Rotary took the lead in producing the concert’s seven-minute
segment on polio eradication, which included remarks by actress Archie Panjabi,
one of our celebrity “This Close” campaign participants; Aseefa Bhutto Zardari,
daughter of Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari; and Canadian Rotarian and
polio survivor Ramesh Ferris. I had the honor of closing the Rotary segment and
could not resist urging Neil Young to amend the title of his traditional closer
to “Rockin’ in a Polio-Free
World.”

on a lighter note!!!
Two young men were out in the woods on a camping
trip, when the came upon this great trout brook. They stayed there all day,
enjoying the fishing, which was super. At the end of the day, knowing that they
would be graduating from college soon, they vowed that they would meet, in
twenty years, at the same place and renew the experience. Twenty years later,
they met and traveled to a spot near where they had been years before. They
walked into the woods and before long came upon a brook. One of the men said to
the other, “This is the place!”. The other replied, “No, it’s not!”. The first
man said, “Yes, I do recognize the clover growing on the bank on the other
side. To which the other man replied, “Silly, you can’t tell a brook by it’s
clover.”
