Governor's Message
Can you recall a moment when your heart was filled with such joy
that you said to yourself, โ€œThis is why I am a Rotarianโ€? On our
recent service trip to Santiago, in the Dominican Republic, our
days were filled with so many of these transformative experiences
we call โ€œRotary moments.โ€ There was one moment, in particular,
when the air itself oscillated in harmony with the joyful sounds of
children playing, when one glance could capture hundreds of
children erupting with thunderous excitement, and when I had to
work hard to hold back tears of joy. It was at that moment, when
we dedicated the playground for the children of the Otra Banda
community, that my life was being transformed by this highly
memorable experience.
Service to others creates opportunities for us to build lasting relationships and experience those moments
that transform our lives in ways we donโ€™t anticipate. Four years ago, PDG Rick Carnagua began this
collaboration between our District and the Rotarians in District 4060, to build latrines and improve
sanitation for families in some of the communities surrounding Santiago. Over these past few years, so
many friendships have been forged, in service, between the Rotarians of the Santiago Monumental
Rotary Club and the Rotarians in our District. This year, the local Rotarians hosted our entire team in
their homes and Ann-Louise and I were overcome by their hospitality and generosity of spirit.
As we constructed and installed these latrines, stronger friendships and better relationships were built
with Rotarians across our District. Ann-Louise and I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the District 7710
team, with Pat Bridgers, Charles Marcom, Martin Tetreault, Willie Smith, Rex and Carol Everhart, Ron
and Candy Blackley, Betsy and Linwood Byrd, Jim and Linda Sproat, 15 year old Grace Allison, Richard
and Donna Daughtry, Rick Carnagua, Byron Johnson, Zak Lokken, George Harry, Ryan Kane, Josh
Davis, Cody Williams, Mike Stojic, Mike McLean, and Linsi Robinson.

We will forever remember these transformative experiences that activate our passion to do good in our
communities and around the world. Led by Rotarians from the Central Johnston County Rotary Club, this
year our team built latrines, improved homes, provided vocational training and installed a community
playground for the children. We also planted 200 mahogany trees as part of Plan Sierra, a watershed
development project in the Dominican Republic, a reforestation plan that will ensure the future water
supply for the region.
The Dominican Republic Project is but one of many projects in which the clubs in our District are involved
that improve access to clean water and provide better sanitation. I am proud to be a Rotarian alongside
each one of you and am thankful for your passion to do good in the world. It is what we do โ€ฆ join
leaders, exchange ideas and take actions that bring peace through service. In serving others, we are a
Gift to the World!

Rotarian Wins Media Awards
Recently, the North Carolina Press Association presented their
annual awards for outstanding media coverage. Johnny Whitfield,
Past President of the Wendell club and Managing Editor of the
Eastern Wake News, won two of these awards.
He won second place for Best Video and Editorials
Computers for Kids of Costa Rica
By Mike Fields
Costa Rica has a computer program for Junior High and High School,
but nothing for grades Kindergarten through 6. This project installed
110 laptop computers and 30 XO tablets computers (designed for
kindergarten students) in nine elementary schools near Puntarenas and
Alajuela, Costa Rica.
Over 1500 children and adults who attend these nine schools now have
access to durable and reliable computers. Adult night computer literacy
classes have been started at a number of these schools.
The following organizations cooperated and assisted with this project:
๏‚ท East Chapel Hill Rotary Club the lead club had over 40 Rotarians involved and donated funds;
๏‚ท Sunrise Rotary Club donated funds;
๏‚ท Downtown Chapel Hill Rotary Club donated funds;
๏‚ท Alajuela Rotary Club and Puntarenas Rotary Club of Costa Rica provided logistics, located schools,
clearance with school boards, transportation, custom clearance requiring the assistance of the
President of Costa Rica;
๏‚ท Goodwill Foundation donated funds; and the
๏‚ท Kramden Institute, a non-profit computer organization whose goal is to provide home computers for
students in need, volunteered time, training, expertise and funds.
Students from the University of Costa Rica assisted in the delivery and
set up of the computers and helped with the refurbishing of classrooms
for computer labs. The university students formed a Rotaract Club,
which will continue to maintain the computers and assist in training of
school staff. Through the local Rotary Clubs, funds for transportation for
the university students (Rotaract) are provided.
Total cost of this project was $21,547; $4000 from the District Rotary
Grant, $7,547 from the five Rotary Clubs, $10,000 from the Goodwill
Foundation.
The computers obtained from Kramden are durable and reliable units, IBM and LENOVO, which they had
cleaned and loaded with Spanish software. They also provided training for the UCR students.
The technical director of Kramden Institute is now joining the East Chapel Hill Rotary Club.

50th Anniversary of the Rotary Cottage at the Boys and Girls Home of North Carolina
By Hensley Scott
What a great celebration!
Rev. George M. Webb, a Boys and Girls Home alumni, gave the message Church Service held in the
Rogers Memorial Chapel. Georgeโ€™s message to the kids at the home was to "Enjoy the structure, love
and hope that they are receiving now at the Boys and Girls Home." Following the service, a bountiful meal
was served in the fellowship hall.
Gary Faircloth, an alumni and current CEO and President of Boys and Girls Home of North Carolina
shared some history and memories of the Rotary Cottage over the last 50 years. He also shared how
generous Rotary has been over the past 50 years by contributing over $1.5 million to the home.
Representatives from Rotary districts 7710 and 7730 donated more than $18,000 following Garyโ€™s
presentation. The attendees then visited the boys in the Rotary Cottage. Thanks Rotarians for helping
give boys and girls a second chance in life!
MLK Day of Service
January 18 was Martin Luther King Day of Service.
Rotarians from 14 clubs, plus volunteers from the
United Way of the Triangle, Duke University, Durham
Tech Community College, and the general public
gathered at the Research Triangle to pack food for the
needy in our community.
Over 500 volunteers packed 113,000 meals to be distributed by the Interfaith Food Shuttle to families in
the Triangle.
Thank you to Andrew Kerr and Joyce McKinney for organizing this event.

Dominican Republic Global Grant Project
By Pat Bridgers
On February 20, 2016, Rotarians from District 7710 flew to
Santiago, Dominican Republic, to continue work that began four
years ago with the Monumental Rotary Club. This year, we built 20
latrines and constructed a playground for the children. The
construction on the market is expected to begin shortly. Overall, we
have built over 200 latrines, a playground, repaired and painted
homes, visited their schools and provided supplies for
families. This year we had a group of 27, but overall we have sent
65 different Rotarians from District 7710, and our friends in the DR
have become like family.
Cell Phones used in the Rotary Effort to Eradicate Polio
Jim Perricone from the Clayton Rotary club passed on
an article from National Geographic on how the use of
older technology cell phones are being used by health
workers in Pakistan to record immunizations.
The work of Rotary in conjunction with the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation are significantly recognized
in the article. National Geographic Article

Polio and Pakistan
By Shafi Parekh
Polio was supposed to have been eradicated by 2005. Why do we still
have polio in Pakistan (and Afghanistan)?
Pakistan is a combination of villages. You do have urban areas, but even
the urban areas are a collection of communities with their own sub-
cultures. The city I came from is a sprawling metropolis of 20 million
today, yet it was a fishing village of 25,000 as late as 1947.
Literacy rate in Karachi is 80% and in the border between Afghanistan
and Pakistan it is 18%. Unfortunately, the female literacy rate of 4.5%.
Which is due to the Taliban, which does not hesitate to bomb a womenโ€™s
school or throw acid on a womanโ€™s face if she goes to school.
Organization s are doing their best to provide rehabilitation with jobs and
counseling, but it is a losing battle.
Polio vaccination is shunned as a Western conspiracy to sterilize girls to slow down the spread of Islam.
The Taliban are responsible for spreading this propaganda.
Rotary will continue National Immunization Days and eventually we will prevail and hopefully get to zero
cases of polio. When we get to zero cases we need to go three years with no more cases before the
world can be considered polio free. Unfortunately, the on-going unrest in the area and low literacy rates
mean polio can come back.
So what is the solution and how do we sustain the
advances?
Rotary needs to continue the National Immunization
Days, but there is a need to improve literacy, specially
targeting females. The Rotary Pakistan Literacy Mission
has set a goal of 100% literacy for Pakistan. It can be
done. In Sri Lanka, which also had the Taliban, the efforts
to obtain a 100% literacy rate were achieved and it
became a Polio free country. Learn more about this
project at their Facebook Page.
West Raleigh club is proposing that District 7710 and 3271
(Southern Pakistan) pilot a Global Grant to improve
dilapidated bathrooms in 15 schools that were inherited by
District 3271.
Why bathrooms? Because parents will not send their girls
to schools that have bathrooms with gaping holes for
windows and doors and lack sanitation and potable water.
Look for updates on this project.

Polio Update
By Joseph Reardon
2016 is off to a fantastic start in polio control. Pakistan is now
the only country in the world with active cases and active
water samples. Thus far, there have been 5 cases of polio
reported in Pakistan. April will be a special month in polio
eradication, as we switch globally from the trivalent (types 1,
2, and 3) vaccine to bivalent (types 1 and 3) vaccine. This
change will eliminate our previous challenges of type 2
vaccine occasionally mutating back into live virus and
causing disease. It also marks our confidence that we have
eradicated poliovirus type 2 globally. Only poliovirus type 1
remains circulating in the wild.
Polio vaccination is Rotaryโ€™s greatest success story! If you havenโ€™t covered this topic in your club recently,
email the PolioPlus Chair at Joseph.Reardon@duke.edu to have a member of the District PolioPlus
committee come present!
Coming Soon โ€“ PolioPlus Society
The PolioPlus Society will be launching in District 7710 in coming months. The PolioPlus Society
recognizes those Rotarians who exemplify their commitment to Rotary and polio eradication by pledging
$100 per year to the PolioPlus fund until we have achieved global eradication of polio. Members will wear
the distinctive PolioPlus Society pins. Stay tuned to the District Newsletter for more information on how to
sign up!

their 20% PolioPlus fundraising campaign, please send your receipts

By Scott Rossi

to help End Polio. The event was held at Lucky 32 Southern
Kitchen restaurant. A total of 68 Rotarians and guests attended
the meal. Lucky 32 Southern Kitchen agreed to donate 10% of

Interact Club โ€“ Millbrook High School
By Elise Lutz
What is it about a baseball field that attracts our club? The smell, the fans cheering, the children laughing,
or the turf that stains our clothes? These factors all drive Millbrook High Schoolโ€™s Interact club to get their
hands dirty to support the organizations we are most passionate about. The Miracle League of the
Triangle has been the place that brings joy and love to each and every one of our members. We have
spent hours mentoring and supporting children with special needs by playing baseball with them. Our
Interact members truly understand how they have impacted the lives of the children at Miracle League.
One member, Matt Mills, said, โ€œThe best part of Miracle League is seeing the joy in their faces when
surrounded by people that want to have fun with them.โ€ Many agree with that statement.
The first time I stepped on that baseball field, I immediately
felt the vibrant liveliness of the children, who were excited
to pick a volunteer โ€œbuddy.โ€ The parents eagerly watched
behind the fence and the music energized us. Even in the
rain, we loved being out there, supporting the program and
its children. Though Interact has spent the most time with
Miracle League, Millbrook does not limit its helpers just to
one place. We have also contributed in serving the
homeless in downtown Raleigh and helped spread the
word for pet adoptions throughout the Triangle.

Rotary Gets out the Mayor's Message
Rotary in general, and specifically the Raleigh club, got a lot of
positive profile by sponsoring Mayor Nancy McFarlane's "State
of the City" address. Due to recent events in Raleigh, the event
was extremely well covered in the media and the Rotary symbol
was very prominent.
You can view the Mayor's address by visiting http://www.wral.com/news/video/15491866/
The Wake Forest Rotary sponsors a State of the Town Address and also receives a lot of profile. Their
program is held in the evening and includes a dinner with a lot of extra touches to make it a special
evening. The Wake Forest Rotary a number of years ago invited the Mayor to attend a regular meeting to
provide the members with an update on the town. From there the event grew to be the special evening
that it has become. An interesting twist to the event is that now the Town plans the entire event, covers all
the cost and Rotary gets all the credit. http://wakeforestnc.gov/2016-state-of-the-town-1.aspx

  • 1. 1 Governor's Message Can you recall a moment when your heart was filled with such joy that you said to yourself, โ€œThis is why I am a Rotarianโ€? On our recent service trip to Santiago, in the Dominican Republic, our days were filled with so many of these transformative experiences we call โ€œRotary moments.โ€ There was one moment, in particular, when the air itself oscillated in harmony with the joyful sounds of children playing, when one glance could capture hundreds of children erupting with thunderous excitement, and when I had to work hard to hold back tears of joy. It was at that moment, when we dedicated the playground for the children of the Otra Banda community, that my life was being transformed by this highly memorable experience. Service to others creates opportunities for us to build lasting relationships and experience those moments that transform our lives in ways we donโ€™t anticipate. Four years ago, PDG Rick Carnagua began this collaboration between our District and the Rotarians in District 4060, to build latrines and improve sanitation for families in some of the communities surrounding Santiago. Over these past few years, so many friendships have been forged, in service, between the Rotarians of the Santiago Monumental Rotary Club and the Rotarians in our District. This year, the local Rotarians hosted our entire team in their homes and Ann-Louise and I were overcome by their hospitality and generosity of spirit. As we constructed and installed these latrines, stronger friendships and better relationships were built with Rotarians across our District. Ann-Louise and I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the District 7710 team, with Pat Bridgers, Charles Marcom, Martin Tetreault, Willie Smith, Rex and Carol Everhart, Ron and Candy Blackley, Betsy and Linwood Byrd, Jim and Linda Sproat, 15 year old Grace Allison, Richard and Donna Daughtry, Rick Carnagua, Byron Johnson, Zak Lokken, George Harry, Ryan Kane, Josh Davis, Cody Williams, Mike Stojic, Mike McLean, and Linsi Robinson. March 2016 John Germ, Rotary International President Elect, (left) and Newman Aguiar
  • 2. 2 We will forever remember these transformative experiences that activate our passion to do good in our communities and around the world. Led by Rotarians from the Central Johnston County Rotary Club, this year our team built latrines, improved homes, provided vocational training and installed a community playground for the children. We also planted 200 mahogany trees as part of Plan Sierra, a watershed development project in the Dominican Republic, a reforestation plan that will ensure the future water supply for the region. The Dominican Republic Project is but one of many projects in which the clubs in our District are involved that improve access to clean water and provide better sanitation. I am proud to be a Rotarian alongside each one of you and am thankful for your passion to do good in the world. It is what we do โ€ฆ join leaders, exchange ideas and take actions that bring peace through service. In serving others, we are a Gift to the World! Progress Dashboard

  • 6. 6 Rotarian Wins Media Awards Recently, the North Carolina Press Association presented their annual awards for outstanding media coverage. Johnny Whitfield, Past President of the Wendell club and Managing Editor of the Eastern Wake News, won two of these awards. He won second place for Best Video and Editorials Computers for Kids of Costa Rica By Mike Fields Costa Rica has a computer program for Junior High and High School, but nothing for grades Kindergarten through 6. This project installed 110 laptop computers and 30 XO tablets computers (designed for kindergarten students) in nine elementary schools near Puntarenas and Alajuela, Costa Rica. Over 1500 children and adults who attend these nine schools now have access to durable and reliable computers. Adult night computer literacy classes have been started at a number of these schools. The following organizations cooperated and assisted with this project: ๏‚ท East Chapel Hill Rotary Club the lead club had over 40 Rotarians involved and donated funds; ๏‚ท Sunrise Rotary Club donated funds; ๏‚ท Downtown Chapel Hill Rotary Club donated funds; ๏‚ท Alajuela Rotary Club and Puntarenas Rotary Club of Costa Rica provided logistics, located schools, clearance with school boards, transportation, custom clearance requiring the assistance of the President of Costa Rica; ๏‚ท Goodwill Foundation donated funds; and the ๏‚ท Kramden Institute, a non-profit computer organization whose goal is to provide home computers for students in need, volunteered time, training, expertise and funds. Students from the University of Costa Rica assisted in the delivery and set up of the computers and helped with the refurbishing of classrooms for computer labs. The university students formed a Rotaract Club, which will continue to maintain the computers and assist in training of school staff. Through the local Rotary Clubs, funds for transportation for the university students (Rotaract) are provided. Total cost of this project was $21,547; $4000 from the District Rotary Grant, $7,547 from the five Rotary Clubs, $10,000 from the Goodwill Foundation. The computers obtained from Kramden are durable and reliable units, IBM and LENOVO, which they had cleaned and loaded with Spanish software. They also provided training for the UCR students. The technical director of Kramden Institute is now joining the East Chapel Hill Rotary Club.
  • 7. 7 50th Anniversary of the Rotary Cottage at the Boys and Girls Home of North Carolina By Hensley Scott What a great celebration! Rev. George M. Webb, a Boys and Girls Home alumni, gave the message Church Service held in the Rogers Memorial Chapel. Georgeโ€™s message to the kids at the home was to "Enjoy the structure, love and hope that they are receiving now at the Boys and Girls Home." Following the service, a bountiful meal was served in the fellowship hall. Gary Faircloth, an alumni and current CEO and President of Boys and Girls Home of North Carolina shared some history and memories of the Rotary Cottage over the last 50 years. He also shared how generous Rotary has been over the past 50 years by contributing over $1.5 million to the home. Representatives from Rotary districts 7710 and 7730 donated more than $18,000 following Garyโ€™s presentation. The attendees then visited the boys in the Rotary Cottage. Thanks Rotarians for helping give boys and girls a second chance in life! MLK Day of Service January 18 was Martin Luther King Day of Service. Rotarians from 14 clubs, plus volunteers from the United Way of the Triangle, Duke University, Durham Tech Community College, and the general public gathered at the Research Triangle to pack food for the needy in our community. Over 500 volunteers packed 113,000 meals to be distributed by the Interfaith Food Shuttle to families in the Triangle. Thank you to Andrew Kerr and Joyce McKinney for organizing this event.
  • 8. 8 Dominican Republic Global Grant Project By Pat Bridgers On February 20, 2016, Rotarians from District 7710 flew to Santiago, Dominican Republic, to continue work that began four years ago with the Monumental Rotary Club. This year, we built 20 latrines and constructed a playground for the children. The construction on the market is expected to begin shortly. Overall, we have built over 200 latrines, a playground, repaired and painted homes, visited their schools and provided supplies for families. This year we had a group of 27, but overall we have sent 65 different Rotarians from District 7710, and our friends in the DR have become like family. Cell Phones used in the Rotary Effort to Eradicate Polio Jim Perricone from the Clayton Rotary club passed on an article from National Geographic on how the use of older technology cell phones are being used by health workers in Pakistan to record immunizations. The work of Rotary in conjunction with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are significantly recognized in the article. National Geographic Article
  • 9. 9 Polio and Pakistan By Shafi Parekh Polio was supposed to have been eradicated by 2005. Why do we still have polio in Pakistan (and Afghanistan)? Pakistan is a combination of villages. You do have urban areas, but even the urban areas are a collection of communities with their own sub- cultures. The city I came from is a sprawling metropolis of 20 million today, yet it was a fishing village of 25,000 as late as 1947. Literacy rate in Karachi is 80% and in the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan it is 18%. Unfortunately, the female literacy rate of 4.5%. Which is due to the Taliban, which does not hesitate to bomb a womenโ€™s school or throw acid on a womanโ€™s face if she goes to school. Organization s are doing their best to provide rehabilitation with jobs and counseling, but it is a losing battle. Polio vaccination is shunned as a Western conspiracy to sterilize girls to slow down the spread of Islam. The Taliban are responsible for spreading this propaganda. Rotary will continue National Immunization Days and eventually we will prevail and hopefully get to zero cases of polio. When we get to zero cases we need to go three years with no more cases before the world can be considered polio free. Unfortunately, the on-going unrest in the area and low literacy rates mean polio can come back. So what is the solution and how do we sustain the advances? Rotary needs to continue the National Immunization Days, but there is a need to improve literacy, specially targeting females. The Rotary Pakistan Literacy Mission has set a goal of 100% literacy for Pakistan. It can be done. In Sri Lanka, which also had the Taliban, the efforts to obtain a 100% literacy rate were achieved and it became a Polio free country. Learn more about this project at their Facebook Page. West Raleigh club is proposing that District 7710 and 3271 (Southern Pakistan) pilot a Global Grant to improve dilapidated bathrooms in 15 schools that were inherited by District 3271. Why bathrooms? Because parents will not send their girls to schools that have bathrooms with gaping holes for windows and doors and lack sanitation and potable water. Look for updates on this project.
  • 10. 10 Polio Update By Joseph Reardon 2016 is off to a fantastic start in polio control. Pakistan is now the only country in the world with active cases and active water samples. Thus far, there have been 5 cases of polio reported in Pakistan. April will be a special month in polio eradication, as we switch globally from the trivalent (types 1, 2, and 3) vaccine to bivalent (types 1 and 3) vaccine. This change will eliminate our previous challenges of type 2 vaccine occasionally mutating back into live virus and causing disease. It also marks our confidence that we have eradicated poliovirus type 2 globally. Only poliovirus type 1 remains circulating in the wild. Polio vaccination is Rotaryโ€™s greatest success story! If you havenโ€™t covered this topic in your club recently, email the PolioPlus Chair at Joseph.Reardon@duke.edu to have a member of the District PolioPlus committee come present! Coming Soon โ€“ PolioPlus Society The PolioPlus Society will be launching in District 7710 in coming months. The PolioPlus Society recognizes those Rotarians who exemplify their commitment to Rotary and polio eradication by pledging $100 per year to the PolioPlus fund until we have achieved global eradication of polio. Members will wear the distinctive PolioPlus Society pins. Stay tuned to the District Newsletter for more information on how to sign up! Spring Rolls If you ate at one of the Spring Rolls locations while they were having their 20% PolioPlus fundraising campaign, please send your receipts by the end of March 2016 to: Shafi Parekh 108 Rodessa Run Raleigh NC 27607 Spring Rolls will be donating 20% of the total value to Polio Plus.
  • 11. 11 Club Activities North Raleigh Casino Night By Linda Brooks Fresh off a big success with its inaugural Casino Night last year, the Rotary Club of North Raleigh is organizing its second annual Casino Night charity fundraiser on Saturday, April 9, at 7 p.m. at the North Carolina State University Club. โ€œWe had a great time last year and weโ€™re going to have a great time this year,โ€ event chairman Scott Tarkenton told Rotarians at a recent meeting. โ€œAfter last year, weโ€™re confident weโ€™ll have an even better show for you this year.โ€ Casino Night will feature 14 casino tables, offering Texas hold โ€˜em, black jack, craps and roulette games with professional tables and dealers. Last yearโ€™s Elvis impersonator Billy โ€œEโ€ Thomas will be on hand, as well as a silent auction. Raffle prizes include a 50-inch high-definition television, fashion watches and a tablet computer. Heavy hors dโ€™oeuvres and two free drinks will be included in the ticket price, and a cash bar will be available. Sponsorships are available which cover expenses for the event. All ticket sales directly support Rotary charities, such as the Food Bank of North Carolina, Interfaith Food Shuttle, Triangle Literacy Council, Operation Coming Home, Stop Hunger Now, Lake Waccamaw Boys and Girls Home, Total Life Center and scholarships for high school seniors, among others. Casino Night planning committee members include Jay Williams, Brian Propst, JJ Jolliff, Mike Wienold, Frank Bouknight and Ed Smallwood.

The event was held at Lucky 32 Southern Kitchen restaurant. A total of 68 Rotarians and guests attended the meal. Lucky 32 Southern Kitchen agreed to donate 10% of food tab for those participating in the fundraiser. Our total tab for the evening was $1,490. Lucky 32 General Manager Shane Garrity, a Cary-Kildaire Rotarian, that the restaurant donated $150 to the PolioPlus fund and he personally added $30 for a total donation of $180 for the evening.

For more information contact Michele Nicklis, mnicklis@novus-resources.com or 919-465-1212 ext.200 Interact Club โ€“ Millbrook High School By Elise Lutz What is it about a baseball field that attracts our club? The smell, the fans cheering, the children laughing, or the turf that stains our clothes? These factors all drive Millbrook High Schoolโ€™s Interact club to get their hands dirty to support the organizations we are most passionate about. The Miracle League of the Triangle has been the place that brings joy and love to each and every one of our members. We have spent hours mentoring and supporting children with special needs by playing baseball with them. Our Interact members truly understand how they have impacted the lives of the children at Miracle League. One member, Matt Mills, said, โ€œThe best part of Miracle League is seeing the joy in their faces when surrounded by people that want to have fun with them.โ€ Many agree with that statement. The first time I stepped on that baseball field, I immediately felt the vibrant liveliness of the children, who were excited to pick a volunteer โ€œbuddy.โ€ The parents eagerly watched behind the fence and the music energized us. Even in the rain, we loved being out there, supporting the program and its children. Though Interact has spent the most time with Miracle League, Millbrook does not limit its helpers just to one place. We have also contributed in serving the homeless in downtown Raleigh and helped spread the word for pet adoptions throughout the Triangle.
  • 13. 13 Rotary Gets out the Mayor's Message Rotary in general, and specifically the Raleigh club, got a lot of positive profile by sponsoring Mayor Nancy McFarlane's "State of the City" address. Due to recent events in Raleigh, the event was extremely well covered in the media and the Rotary symbol was very prominent. You can view the Mayor's address by visiting http://www.wral.com/news/video/15491866/ The Wake Forest Rotary sponsors a State of the Town Address and also receives a lot of profile. Their program is held in the evening and includes a dinner with a lot of extra touches to make it a special evening. The Wake Forest Rotary a number of years ago invited the Mayor to attend a regular meeting to provide the members with an update on the town. From there the event grew to be the special evening that it has become. An interesting twist to the event is that now the Town plans the entire event, covers all the cost and Rotary gets all the credit. http://wakeforestnc.gov/2016-state-of-the-town-1.aspx The Rotary Foundation Points Donated for Paul Harris Fellowships By Barry Philips Due to the generosity of several fellow Rotarians we can offer you the opportunity to obtain a Paul Harris Fellowship for only $500. The other $500 will be matched with recognition โ€œpointsโ€ donated by the other Rotarians.

Your club Secretary or Foundation Chair should have a Form 123-en or you can download one by going to: Paul Harris Fellowship The recipient of the Paul Harris Fellowship can be yourself or you can name another person to receive the award.
