Rotary General Secretary John Hewko and six RI staff members 
bicycled 104 miles in Tucson Arizona, USA, on Saturday,
 for the Miles to End Polio event,
 raising more than $6 million for polio eradication.
The money raised by Rotary will receive a two-to-one match
 from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
In addition to the team from Evanston, 
100 Rotary member riders took part in the ride.
The fundraising ride is part of the annual El Tour de Tucson
 bike event in Tucson, Arizona, USA. 
The race attracts more than 9,000 cyclists a year,
 making it one of the top cycling events in the U.S. 
The Rotary team from Evanston was joined by Rotary members 
from Arizona's District 5500, 
and other members from around the world.
Hewko tweeted that he finished the race in 5 hours and 2 minutes.
"Really enjoyed riding in El Tour de Tucson
 along with 100 Rotarians and members of the Rotary International staff,"
 Hewko added. "As a group we were able to raise over $6 million
 for polio eradication which will help bring us even closer
 to the dream of a polio-free world.
 I am deeply moved by the generosity and passion 
of Rotarians around the world and Rotary staff."

Rotary International



Rotary Institutes
Held annually in each Rotary International zone, 
they have for many years been an opportunity
 for Past District Governors to meet, contribute, discuss
 and be informed about aspects of Rotary, including policies,
 finances and projects, including those of the Foundation.
 Leading up to the Institute are training sessions
 for the District Governors Elect and Nominee,
 and a symposium for the current Governors,
 all of whom then take part in the Institute's proceedings.
The Wellington 2014 Institute will be at the Michael Fowler Centre

Rotary Club of West Perth

60 Years ago, Mt Lawley Rotary Club 
spawned the Rotary Club of West Perth
 and last Friday was the time to celebrate.
 We were reminded of sixty years of local, national
 and international charities and community groups
 which have been supported by the efforts 
of one of many groups of dedicated people 
who commit time and effort trying to make the world a better place.
 Instead of a host of formal speeches, 
MC Steve Thomas undertook a series of informal discussions
 with Rotarians who had provided notable achievements
 during that 60 year period. 
It worked very well.
The evening also saw the awarding 
of Paul Harris Fellows to the following:

Gordon Allan (with sapphire)

Monty The Penguin is another wonderful Christmas story
 from upmarket department store John Lewis.
Monty the Penguin enjoys the time he spends
with his friend the little boy but something is lacking in his life. 
The little boy gets him a Christmas gift he’ll cherish forever.







Jersey Boys buy an Italian GPS







British Telecom needed to hire a team of telephone pole installers,
 and the boss had to

choose between a team of two guys from England
 and a team of two Irish guys.
So the boss met both teams and said 
"Here's what we'll do.
 Each team will be
installing poles out on the new road for a day.
The team that installs the most poles gets the job."
Both teams headed right out.
 At end of the shift,  the two English guys,
came back and the boss asked them how many they had installed.
They said that it was tough going,
 but they'd put in twelve.
  
Forty-five minutes later Paddy and Mick,
 the Irish guys, came back in and
they were totally exhausted.
The boss asked,
 "Well, how many poles did you guys install?"
Mick, the team leader, wiped his brow and sighed,
 "Paddy and me, we got
three in."
"The boss gasped, "Three? 
Those two English  guys put in twelve!"
"Yeah," said Mick,
 "but you should see how much they left sticking out of
the ground!
