Many of us are enjoying time away from the standard routines, perhaps traveling or  enjoying lazy days. It’s a chance to charge your internal batteries and to think about priorities for the coming months. 
 
Please think how our club might make a greater impact in the District. Not only by members volunteering locally but are there other ways we could explore?  If you have any ideas/ thoughts please send them to myself at Chris.Cochrane@rotary7040.com.
 
Coffee with A Rotarian continues. Please keep an eye on your email for an invite
Till next time... 

WEEK 6, 7-THE ROTARY FOUNDATION

IN 1945, THE WRITTEN OBJECTIVE FOR THE ROTARY FOUNDATION WAS:
  1. The Promotion of  The Rotary Foundation Fellowships for advanced study;
  2. The fostering of any tangible and effective projects which have as their purpose the furthering of better understanding and friendly relations between the peoples of different nations; and 
  3. The providing of emergency relief for Rotarians and their families wherever war or other disaster has brought general destruction and suffering.
 
THE ROTARY FOUNDATION CONTINUES TO DO “GOOD WORK” TODAY!
 
POLIO PLUS IS A SIGNATURE PROGRAM OF THE ROTARY FOUNDATION.
PolioPlus is Rotary’s priority program which supports global efforts to eradicate polio.  It was launched in 1985, with the help of Dr. Albert Sabin, developer of the oral polio vaccine, as a worldwide program to protect children from the cruel and fatal consequences of polio.  In 1988, the World Health Assembly challenged the world to eradicate polio, and since that time, Rotary’s efforts, along with partner agencies, including the World Health Organization, the United Nations’ Children’s Fund, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and governments around the world have achieved a 99 percent reduction in the number of polio cases worldwide.  By the time the world is certified polio-free, our contributions will make Rotary the largest non-governmental financial contributor to the global polio eradication effort.
THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ROTARY’S NUMBER ONE GOAL-END POLIO NOW!
 

Secretary's thoughts for this week.

OK, Cornwall members, let’s get in on the Agape Centre One Bag Challenge. You’ll remember that for our charter night August 15, 2017 we collected food items from those who attended. Let’s celebrate that anniversary by doing it again.

 
The One Bag Challenge is ongoing throughout the month of August. Donations can be dropped off at the Agapè Centre at 40 Fifth St. West.

Makeups

Are you entering your makeups? Before I left I entered all those who took part in the Ottawa cruise organized by Len Goddard. When I checked this week to enter a meeting that Fred and i did in Charlottetown, PEI, I noticed that many of you have not entered anything.
 
At this time of the year, do not 'bank' anything. Just keep assigning a date until you run out of official meeting dates. Do your meetings/makeups meet the 'at least one hour' format for makeups? Are you entering your Foundation donations up to $100? Do you dog-sit, water flowers for your neighbour, do any activity with another Rotary Club? All those count as makeups.

Newsletters/Online info

Welcome new members to your club with Rotary Basics. The online course covers all things Rotary in an interactive, multimedia format. The course was designed for new members, but it’s also a good refresher for long-time members who want to test their Rotary knowledge. 
 
If you are a new Rotary member or just need a refresher, here's the guide for members. Here's the link: https://my.rotary.org/en/document/rotary-basics
 
You can purchase the hard copy for $2 each. Here’s the link: https://shop.rotary.org/rotary-basics
