         The Gloucester Rotary Club "The Future of Rotary Is In Your Hands"

 

   The 2009-2010 theme of Rotary International is The Future of Rotary is in Your Hands. For over 84 years the Gloucester Rotary Club has sponsored service projects to benefit our community.  We begin this Rotary year with a quote for Rotary International President John Kenney.  "if you want to leave your footprints in the sand of time, then don't drag you feet".   President John also said "I believe we are capable of greater things, that we must challenge ourselves always to do what Rotary does best"  With these words said lets us begin our new Rotary year. 

   Rotary International President John Kenny has asked the world's 1.2 million Rotarians to give particular consideration to the millions of children who never even have the chance to dream.  If we provide insecticide-treated bed nets, fewer children will succumb to malaria.  If we dig wells and address sanitation problems, more children will have clean water to drink and more hygienic surroundings. And if we carry out effective nutrition projects, we can save some of the almost five million children who die each year from undernourishment. Let's Make Dreams Real by giving these children the chance to grow up and have dreams of their own.

 

   The world's Rotarians have also determined to end polio this year. The disease has been eradicated in all but four countries. The Gloucester Rotary Club will do its share by asking its members and the community at large to give generously to the final stage of this heroic effort.  Our aim, as always, is to help ensure a better quality of life in our community and the world.  Let's Make Dreams Real.

 

Yours in Rotary,

 

Ruth Pino
