News & Notes

GSE Team to discuss recent India trip in Baldwinsville April 27

The outbound Group Study Exchange team has returned from India!

Reports have indicated that the trip was fantastic and the participants are eager to share their adventure with Rotarians in District 7150. District Governor Marlene had asked the area AG’s to get together and plan joint meetings for a presentation by the team.

AG Paul Scott has been kind enough to schedule a presentation for area 11 (that’s us) at 3 p.m. on April 27^th at the Mohegan Manner in Baldwinsville. All clubs in Area 11 are invited to attend with clubs from AG Paul Scott’s area (Oswego area) and AG Tom Collins’ area 10 (Auburn area). Light hors’ douvres, coffee, tea, soft drinks and cash bar will be available. The cost is $10 per person.

If you are interested in attending, please let Marion or Tom know so the event planners can plan accordingly. For those who can’t attend, more presentations will be scheduled throughout the district. Check the District website for the alternative locations.

New leaders wanted, needed

Its that time of year again. Time to shuffle the tasks needed to keep our club running among ourselves. Please consider how you would like to help our club continue to grow and let Tom or Marion know so we can begin gearing up for the changing of the guard!

April is Rotary Magazine Month

April is Magazine Month, a time to celebrate the global network of Rotary’s official magazines, which provide valuable information to 1.2 million Rotarians.

The Rotary World Magazine Press consists of 32 magazines from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Europe that inform, inspire, and entertain in 23 languages. In addition to The Rotarian, Rotary’s English-language flagship publication, it offers magazines such as Vida Rotaria (Argentina), Rotary in Bulgaria, and The Rotary-no-Tomo (Japan).

The RI Bylaws require all club members to subscribe to The Rotarian or a Rotary regional magazine. Rotary leaders, district governors, and club presidents are encouraged to support magazine editors in their country or region by submitting story ideas, promoting readership, encouraging timely subscription payments, and assisting with other communication efforts.

Look for a new international supplement edition in the pages of The Rotarian early in the 2008-09 Rotary year. The eight-page supplement, to be produced for all official Rotary magazines, will highlight Rotary’s work on the global stage. Ahmet Tükel, editor of Rotary Dergisi, the Turkish magazine, says the special edition represents a step forward. “The supplement will help promote a unified and global image of the organization,” he notes, “and show how collaboration of editors from different parts of the world can help put together a tool for communicating the strength and appeal of Rotary International.”
