THOUGHT for the DAY:

If you’re looking for a psychic girlfriend, be careful...she might leave you before you meet.

JOKE of the WEEK: On the first day of school a new first grade teacher explained to her class that she was aGiants fan. She asks her students to raise their hands if they, too, are Giants fans. Wantingto impress their teacher, everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl. Theteacher looks at the girl with surprise, “Janie, why didn't you raise your hand?” “Because I'mnot a Giants fan,” she replied. The teacher, still shocked, asked, “Well, if you are not a Giantsfan, then who are you a fan of?” “I am a Dallas Cowboys fan, and proud of it!” Janie replied.

The teacher could not believe her ears. “Janie please tell us why you are a Cowboys fan?” “Because my mom is a Cowboysfan, and my dad is Cowboys fan, so I'm a Cowboys fan too!” “Well,” said the teacher in a obviously annoyed tone, “thatis no reason for you to be a Cowboys fan. You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time. What if your momwas an idiot and your dad was a moron, what would you be then?” “Then,” Janie smiled, “I'd be a Giants fan.”

QUOTE for the DAY: “The best antidote for international fear is international understanding; the best way to cultivate internationalunderstanding is through business and social intercourse.” - Paul Harris, Tokyo 1928

He aims to support andstrengthen clubs at the community level, preserve Rotary’s culture as a service-orientedmembership organization, and test new regional approaches for growth. “With the eradicationof polio, recognition for Rotary will be great and the opportunities will be many,” he says. “Wehave the potential to become the global powerhouse for doing good.” Maloney is a principalin the law firm of Blackburn, Maloney, and Schuppert LLC, with a focus on taxation, estate

USELESS FACT OF THE DAY:

No word in the English language rhymes with month, orange, silver andpurple...(Except for “Nurple,” and everyone knows what a purple nurple is, right?...look it up!)

HOW ROTARIANS ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE

So, how do Rotarians make a difference to start with? Instead of focusing on their identityas a businessman, doctor, engineer, teacher, accountant, professional or in any othervocation they follow, they are open to constructive collaboration by joining forces andforming a team of human beings who think that Service to Mankind is the superior formof living. They understand how social influences work and how to harness its power. Thiswas evident when, in our fight against polio, we harnessed the influence of the MuslimUlemas in India and made a huge difference in our campaign to eradicate polio.
