ew Members Speaking Today
• How do I make a contribution to support the Rotary Japan and Pacific Islands 2011 Disaster Recovery Fund? Contributions designated to the Rotary Japan and Paci-fic Islands 2011 Disaster Recovery Fund may be made in the same fashion you normally contribute to The Rotary Foundation. Checks should be made payable to The Rotary Foundation (note on your check that the contribution should be used for the Rotary Japan and Pacific Islands 2011 Disaster Recovery Fund, #G10005). The ability to make online contributions on the RI website is forthcoming. • How will contributions designated to the Rotary Japan and Pacific Islands 2011 Disaster Recovery Fund be used? Rotarians in affected areas will identify and determine how best to help these communities recover after initial disaster relief efforts are completed. The funds contribu-ted will not be used for immediate disaster relief but rather for recovery efforts. Contributions to the Fund will be made available to clubs and Districts in the affected areas for participation in Rotary Foundation Matching Grants and Global Grants. As with all Matching Grants and Global Grants projects, Rotary Japan and Pacific Islands 2011 Disaster Recovery Fund grants will require Rotary clubs or districts in at least two countries (a part-ner outside of the project country and a partner within the project country) to work together to plan, implement, and complete the project. The projects must involve active personal Rotarian

based on your own experience as a Rotarian, are the pros and cons of social media sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook. Tweet of the Week: India is at a record low for polio cases. Only 42 cases in 2010, compared to 741 in 2009. http://cot.ag/fj9ogd #endpolionow

THEY PROFIT MOST WHO LAUGH BEST
In response to the massive earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan on 11 March, The Rotary Foundation has established the Rotary Japan and Pacific Islands Disaster Fund, which will support long-term recovery projects in affec-ted areas.
Rotarians and non-Rotarians can donate online.
RI President-nominee Sakuji Tanaka, of the Rotary Club of Yashio, Saitama, was in Lisbon, Portugal, on Rotary business during the
Foundation sets up disaster fund for Japandisasters. He was able to reach his wife, Kyoko, on the phone to confirm her safety.
“She said it was the most horrifying experi-ence she'd ever had," says Tanaka. "The north-ern region of Japan is still in chaos. We are un-sure when this chaos will end or when things will get better. However, I am most thankful to know that Rotarians around the world care for us."
Rotary clubs and districts worldwide are mobilizing efforts to bring urgently needed aid to victims.
I’ll need your leg as well ...
