As
of 25 May, Rotarians have raised about $127.4
million for Rotary's $200 Million Challenge. These contributions
will help Rotary raise $200 million to match $355 million in challenge
grants received from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The
resulting $555 million will directly support immunization campaigns in
developing countries, where polio continues to infect and paralyze
children.

Dear Rotarians:
We have come to the end. It has been an honor and pleasure to have
represented Zones 33 and 34 as your Director for the past two years,
and as Vice-President of Rotary International. As has been said, all good things must come to an end.
However, better things are coming with our new Director
John Smarge, who adds new direction, vigor and new ideas. I am so
pleased that John will be my successor, as he will be excellent.
Let all of you know that the most pleasurable thing about being your
Director is in meeting so many wonderful Rotarians in our part of the
world, It has been a treat for Linda and me. And as coach John Wooden
of UCLA fame said, "The main ingredient of stardom is the rest
of the team," and John Smarge has a great team.
With such great talent, how can we fail...God Bless and best
wishes...to all...especially my team....
Eric Adamson, RIVP
