Every Rotarian has his/her personal reasons and story as to why and when they decided to become Rotarians. The common thread is seizing the opportunity to serve others and the real desire to improve the lives and conditions of our local, national, and international communities. In this short video, Cowboy Logic, IR President Ray Klinginsmith reveals how his efforts to help his own disabled child grew into a life of “service above self” and led him eventually to lead the world’s largest and most active service organization, Rotary International.
Rotary Bus Tales in Contra Costa County! 0
As part of Rotary District 5160′s contribution to the our 4 Rotary District PR campaign to advertise the upcoming October 24th World End Polio Day events in San Francisco, 30 bus tail ads are currently running their routes on the back end of buses in our county. These bus tails feature 5 different famous celebrities all declaring that “We are ThisClose” to ending polio in the world. Indeed, it has been a very long and expensive fight, but Rotary International volunteers with help from the CDC, the WHO, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have all but eradicated the dreaded disease and crippler of children forever! As you move around the county in the next few weeks, take notice of these bus tail ads; see how many celebrities you can recognize; check out the details of the SF event on our district web site www.Rotary5160.org, and participate if you can in our joyous celebration of the final eradication of polio, now and forever!
