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.”

  10. Heya! I understand this is somewhat off-topic but I had to ask.
    Does managing a well-established blog like yours require
    a large amount of work? I'm completely new to operating a blog but I do write in my journal everyday. I'd like to start a blog so I can easily share
    my personal experience and views online. Please let me know if you have any kind of recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.
    Thankyou!

  24. The purpose of this being to get you a low score can make it nearly impossible to get a lower interest rate
    than unsecured Consolidate Billss, still why people prefer it?

    Debtconsolidation123Debtconsolidation123Normally consolidate bills comes in two forms,
    secured and unsecured options. It is the fact that a
    single interest rate on the principal sum costs less than 4 or 5 different rates paid
    through the individual loans.
