God Bless America and Rotarians!
Rotary’s District Governor, Wendy Walsh- DeMaria, visited us this past Thursday. Wendy was our guest speaker – see
below. We also had a special board meeting Board meeting that preceded the regular meeting, with the District
Governor, which went very well. Once a year our club needs to update and submit the Rotary Planning Guide that
explains what our annual goals are as a club. The Rotary Planning Guide also reminds us of a few housekeeping rules
we need to practice. Within the next few weeks we will be updating our club members on some of our obligations to
Rotary International. In this way we can better utilize our efforts in helping our local and international communities.
One such requirement for all members is that they participate in volunteering – even if for an hour of time,
experience or donating a basket for fundraisers. We have many projects so we have something for everyone to choose
from for their volunteer project.
Rotary Polio Plus – We have donated this week’s Happy Dollars (collected $100) to Rotary’s Polio Plus. We will
periodically make these collections a donation to continue to assist Rotary International in eradicating Polio in the world.
The Bill Gates Foundation has promised to match our donations Two dollars for every One dollar we contribute.

Rotary Technology Fundraising Raffle – Karen Sobel and James had gotten the two Apple watches and one Echo
device that we are raffling off as our first big fundraiser. The tickets are $10 each (7 tickets for $50) and we will need
volunteers to stand in front of Stanley’s as well as Stuff-A-Bagel on Sunday November 5th from 9 a.m. to 12 noon, to
sell tickets. We have passed around a sign in sheet but we have not gotten many people to help (please email Dennis or
Liz if you can participate). This is one of our big fundraisers and we need the money to enable us to fund our great
Rotary causes such as the Gift of Life which literally saves lives. If you can even make yourself available for one hour it
would greatly appreciated. The raffle will be held on the last week of November.

Collecting Booze: Our next fundraiser is the wheel barrels of cheer. We need good booze and beer. Please bring in a
bottle of wine, liquor or beer to anyone of our meetings. One wheel barrel will be left at Irish Coffee Pub and the other at
Shandon Court. More information to follow for our December raffle. Again, these raffles are essential so we can
provide school supplies, turkeys and even Christmas presents to our local schools.

Gift of Life Board Meetings– November 15th at the Marriot Residence Inn @ 6pm. Each new member should attend at
least one of these meetings, it really can give you a better insight into what Rotary is doing to help children around the
world. We have raised thousands of dollars to help save the lives of children from all over the world who desperately
need surgery. Rotary saves lives!

Foundation Update- John Chinnici is asking if our members can consider having from their checking accounts
automatic withdrawals of only $10 per month to the Rotary International Foundation that helps support our common
causes. If every member donates $100 per year, our club will not only be recognized for 100% member contributions
but the Foundation also helps us with grants so we can expand our local and foreign good works of charity.
You can log onto MYROTARY.org and easily set up your automatic donations.

Wendy who lives in East Port, has extensive professional experience, including being a retired doctor, Real Estate agent and

Auctioneer. She has many good ideas and has 29 years in experience in Rotary. Wendy’s goal is to work for each club member
to make our Rotary experience the best it could be.
Wendy spoke of our new Rotary President, Ian Riseley’s, goals. His slogan is “Rotary makes a difference.” To make the earth a
better place, we will be planting trees next year, encourage each Rotary member to contribute just $100 each year to the Rotary
Foundation, encourage members to learn more about Rotary Grants; such as with Rotary’s Polio Plus – for every one dollar we
donate, the Foundation matches it. We will also encourage members to use the Rotary Club Runner more frequently to keep up
on Rotary updates and news. The Club Runner has a Rotary Directory, a calendar and a learning center. We can share
fundraising ideas, newsletters and more.
We are excited to have Wendy’s help and inspiration. If you would like to contact Wendy at A1Lady@aol.com or 631-325-8647.
Great job Wendy!!
