Two weeks ago in this space we looked at our progress in the area of Club Avenue of Service, focussing mainly on the top notch speakers we have enjoyed this year.

Another aspect of Club Service that was highlighted was the notion that “We care for each other.” Kit Whitney, and others, have made sure we have been successful in this endeavor.

In the area of International Avenue of Service, we said, back in ’08 that we wanted to take part in the 1 Rotary laptop per child program for developing countries. Down July 9: District Roast & Toast @ Saratoga Springs, 5:00 PM July 11, 12: Relay for Life @ Campbell Community Center July 18: President’s Debunking, @ Mama Mia’s

the list a little ways was “Computerization of 1,000 villages in India.” Other top suggestions from the visioning session were: “Hands-on house building-Mexico,” and “Friendship Exchanges with a club from another country.” With the opportunity to move forward on the Indian Digital Villages project, we have taken all steps to complete the first phase of that project. The new International Committee under President Rick will have the task of selecting a new project or revisiting one of the ones we came up with during the visioning exercise.
