There are so many things going on in Rotary at the District level that this seems like a good time to share what some of those opportunities are. This Spring, District 5170 will host a Group Study Exchange team from District 3810, Manila. We might be able to have the group at one of our meetings and, if you would like to host a visiting team member, contact Richard Flanders at [email protected]. The District is also looking to honor the 3 members in each club with the most years of Service to Rotary. Are you one of them? Please see John Shannon after the meeting today. Feb. 10: Club Speech Contest Mar. 13-15: “Our Town” @ Campbell Heritage Theater Apr. 17-19: District Celebration @ Santa Clara Marriott Apr. 25: Rotarians @ Work Day

Did you know that Rotarians, through our “End Polio Now” program have contributed over $700 Million and have saved over 5 Million children from the ravages of paralysis and saved 250,000 from an early death? Our club Speech Contest is coming on February 10th. Please assist Janine Payton when she asks for volunteers for this great event.
