POLIO NATIONAL IMMUNICATION DAY  (NID)

From Charlie Kelly: "The Evansville Club has the opportunity to participate in a Polio National Immunization Day (NID) in India from February 9 – 17, 2007. The cost of this trip is approximately $3000 and volunteers will need several shots in order to go.  The area where we will be immunizing will be around the city of Delhi in Northern India.  If possible, the organizers would like to have commitments from the Evansville Club as soon as possible.  We need to know who is interested in going and who can provide financial support.  Please let Charlie Kelly, 436-9288, know if you have any interest in volunteering to go on the NID or in helping to finance a member who is willing to go."

GROUP STUDY EXCHANGE

Host families are still needed. The GSE team from Tochigi City, Japan, Evansville’s sister city, will arrive from Corydon, IN on Thursday, April 5, 2007. They will attend the Warrick meeting that Thursday. Team members will attend our Rotary Club meeting on Tuesday, April 10, then depart for Terre Haute. During their time in Evansville, team members will be attending cultural events and visiting local businesses. Host families are needed for the members of the team from April 5 through 9. Contact Mark E. Miller, mmiller@indidanlawonline.com, or 425-1490 if you would like to be a host family or provide transportation for the team..

ROTARY YOUTH EXCHANGE

From Andrew Alexander: “We will have an opportunity for a local family to host our inbound exchange student Lubo, approximately mid-February. Lubo currently lives in Newburgh with Rotarian Roxie Baas and her husband Scott. Lubo attends the Signature School and rides to and from school with fellow students. Lubo is from Slovakia and has a good command of English. He is much like a typical teenager and had made numerous friends through school. As mentioned at our Tuesday meeting, we will help arrange transportation to and from school for Lubo as this is often a prospective family’s primary concern. Consider discussing this unique opportunity to spend several months as an ambassador for our Club and our country with your spouse, family, good friends or neighbors. Keep in mind our host family does not have to be a Rotarian. Please contact Steve Groves, 434-4880 or steve@01inc.com or Andrew Alexander, 476-1456, or Andrew.alexander@sci-us.com  to express your interest.”

AMBASSADOR SCHOOL NEEDS

From Marianne Cox:  I am an Ambassador to Holy Rosary and they have a request for 20 solar-powered calculators, if anyone has some they'd like to donate. They need them for their math classes. Contact Marianne Cox at mecox@cinergycom.com
