Your weekly Rotary minute - 7/16/2009

Hi All,

I'm looking forward to seeing as many happy Rotarians as possible at tomorrow's meeting.

This week (16th) we will have a dynamic speaker, Maggie Doyne originally from Mendham who at the tender age of '18' and just out of high school started an orphanage half way around the world in Nepal. Come hear what inspired someone at such a young age to perform such a selfless act.

Next week (23rd) we will have an informative presentation from our own PDG Elly Ezra on the economy. He has informed me that the talk will be dynamic and full of useful information. Anyone that knows Elly and has who has sat through one of his talks would not expect any less.

As per Jim D's email of earlier this week...
"The annual Irish Gentleman Rotary Regatta will be held Friday, August 7th in Pelican Cove (Seaside Hts) .
If you have a boat, join in. If you don't have a boat, jump aboard someone else's.
Charlie Minton, Herb Singe, Manny Rey, Steve Hehl and me are regular boaters.
So plan to take the Friday off and join us on the water for an afternoon of floating party fun."

The new Rotary Website is now live;
It is available at http://www.unionrotary.org/

While registration is not mandatory, I want to very strongly request, encourage... ok "plead" with everyone to register. It only takes a few seconds. The site will be much more useful if everyone registers, so please do.
