Welcome to our July new members !
POCKETS FOR POLIO Troy Buzalski, President of Canby Rotary Club, came up with the idea of placing “Pockets for Polio” all around town. He enlisted the help of the local Chamber of Commerce, and local businesses are rapidly filling the pockets with their customers’ spare change. Even though Canby Rotary has already far exceeded their 5-year Polio Challenge goal, they are finding Polio Pockets to be an easy way to do even more!
ROTARY ON DISPLAY The Kruse Way-Lake Oswego Rotary Club made good use of the new District 5100 media screen display at their club’s annual Wine and Cheese Festival in Lake Oswego’s Millennium Park. The media screen was purchased with some of the 2009 RI PR grant proceeds. To borrow the screen, contact District Secretary Mike Stone.
PAKISTAN NEEDS OUR HELP The RI website reports Rotarians are reaching out to Pakistan as it continues to cope with its worst flooding in decades. “The people of Pakistan were not prepared for a disaster like this to reach this magnitude” says Shehzad Ahmed, governor of District 3272 (Afghanistan; Pakistan). “It's difficult for me to imagine how we're going to cope with this situation.” www.rotary.org/en/MediaAndNews/News/Pages/100824_news_pakistanflood.aspx. Here are two ways we can help: 1) Cash contribution through TRF – Send a check with the notation "Rotary Pakistan Flooding Recovery Fund" to The Rotary Foundation, 14280 Collections Center Drive Chicago, IL 60693. 2) Donate to ShelterBox – Help ShelterBox send water filtration units, water carriers and ShelterBoxes to Pakistan by visiting www.shelterboxusa.org and clicking the yellow “Donate Now” link.

A YouTube video you won't want to miss!
Portland Pearl Rotary Club, in conjunction with their partnership at Lincoln High School, recently created a PR video about their Club. To view it, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA74PobzHwQ. This very professional production is sure to spread the Rotary message to the world. Good job, Portland Pearl!
The Sherwood Rotary Club has a great new PR idea. They collect gently-used issues of the Rotarian from their members and, after affixing the label you see here on the right, they deliver them to waiting rooms and other public places around town.
Bienvenue Nicholas! The Canby Rotary Club welcomes their French exchange student Nicolas Buffenoir at PDX. Tired after the long flight but glad to be here, Nicholas can’t wait to immerse himself into American culture. The club reports that he speaks good English, but is easy to understand in spite of his definite and charming French accent. On hand to greet him was his host family, Derek Hill and son Jared, and Burt and Judi Aus.
Above is a scene from the Portland Pearl Rotary You Tube video.
