News & Notes

Wealth of Rotary information available with one mouse click

Everything you ever needed to know about Rotary can be found at the click of a mouse.

Ward Vuillemot demonstrated the wealth of Rotary information available from the Web site he developed at www.skaneatelesrotary.org

The main page of the site provides all of the basic information that prospective members would need to evaluate who we are and what we do as Rotarians.

As you delve more deeply into the site, more specific information of interest to current members is available, including news and information about District Major Events and member/club accomplishments, youth exchange, community service, Interact and the many other things we do each year.

The site also provides links to District 7150’s Web site and the Rotary International Web site, among others. 

Skaneatelesrotary.org has complete information about both Rotary clubs  including where and when we meet, our current officers and a description of our many service projects.  The site also provides photo galleries of our many events

Rotarians are encouraged to spend some time at the site and encourage others to do the same. 

 

RI President helps charter

Korean-American Rotary Club

         District 6440 has a new club, in part due to the recruiting prowess of RI President Dong Kurn Lee.

Lee presented the club charter to the Rotary Club of Chicagoland Korean-Northbrook with District 6440 Governor Pamela Kerr on 22 August in Northbrook, Illinois, USA.

Attendees were asked to make a $50 donation to Rotary’s US$100 Million Challenge. About 175 people attended the charter night and the event raised $6,000.

The club’s 54 members are Korean American, and club business will mostly be conducted in Korean. But that is the beauty of Rotary, Lee told the charter night audience.

“What matters in Rotary is not what language we speak, or where we come from, or how much English we remember from high school,” Lee said. “What matters in Rotary is fellowship, friendship, and building bridges of goodwill.”
