DG Calabrese: Let’s walk the talk to Make Dreams
Real in 2008-09
District Governor Larry
Calabrese called on our club Thursday August 14 to help him Make Dreams Real
for children both locally and throughout the world.
DG Calabrese explained this
year’s theme to the club and discussed how as a District we plan as Rotarians
to follow through with that theme.
More than 30,000 children die
each day from preventable diseases, primarily due to the lack of clean drinking
water, poverty and starvation, he said.
In addition, millions throughout the world cannot read.
DG Calabrese said the district
has called on County Health Departments to identify the primary health problems
facing children in our communities so we can share that information and provide
avenues service where necessary.
DG Calabrese also called on our
club to join the District in its mission to meet Rotary International’s
challenge of raising $1,000.00 per club per year over the next three years to
wipe out Polio. The District has
announced a Pennies for Polio campaign to be
coordinated through local schools.
The District is also considering organizing a Walk for Polio or similar
event.
Our
District Governor also discussed public relations and membership. He is challenging clubs to increase
membership by 10 percent, or two new members for our club.
To increase awareness of our
clubs, DG Calabrese announced that the district newsletter, the Credo is
accepting submissions from local clubs.
Every club is encouraged to submit write-ups of its events. The deadline is the 10th of
the month.
DG
Calabrese’s wife Annabelle joined him for breakfast with our club. Her goal is to increase participation
among spouses of Rotarians this year.
She also announced a service project for spouses to be completed at the
District Conference in September.
The project will put together literacy kits to be distributed to parents
of newborn babies who give birth at St. Luke’s hospital in Utica. The goal is to make 300 of these kits
at the conference for distribution.
