dignitaries and more than 4000 schoolchildren from 45 schools in the city. The rally was flagged off by deputy
chairman of planning commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia. Speaking at the occasion, Ahluwalia said, " Let all healthy adults donate blood regularly and thus act as role models to the school children present today to become

EDITORIAL
“ Together, together, together everyone
Together, together, come on let's have some fun
Together, were there for each other every time
Together together come on let's do this right. …”
Yes, together we can!!! And this is what we showed this
month in the first major District event of the year.
“WALK FOR BLOOD” proved to be a major success all
because of your enthusiastic participation. Cheers to you
guys for making this a great event. Although no major
event is devoid of minor hiccups, I‟m glad to say all
participants kept our motto “Service Before Self” in mind
and gave their best efforts even through inconvenient
situations. Dear Rotaractors, you surely did us proud!
After the success of “Walk For Blood”, we‟ve bonded as
a District but now it is the time to meet friends from all
over the world and establish international relationships. Its
now time to enjoy fun and sun in Goa . Rotasia 2011 is the
mega event of this Rotaract year and we hope to catch all
of you there.
However you‟ve disappointed us with your lack of
participation in the newsletter. Guys this is your newsletter
and we would love to have your articles as a part of this.
So put on your thinking caps and come up with new and
innovative ideas. We‟re waiting…!!!!

Progress for Rotary's US$200 Million Challenge for polio eradication
Rotary International News -- 7 December 2010
As of 30 November, Rotarians and Rotaractors have raised about $155.3
million for Rotary's US$200 Million Challenge. These contributions will help
Rotary raise $200 million to match $355 million in challenge grants received
from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The resulting $555 million will
directly support immunization campaigns in developing countries, where polio
continues to infect and paralyze children, robbing them of their futures and
compounding the hardships faced by their families.
As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, children
everywhere remain at risk. The stakes are that high.

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL NEWS
Celebrating the Family of Rotary
Rotary International News -- 7 December 2010
You can see it in their faces. The joy that spills forth as Rotarians take part in service projects, locally or internationally, says volumes about why
more than 1.2 million people around the globe belong to Rotary clubs and are committed to making the world a better place.
Throughout the year, Rotarians have and continue to share pictures of their Rotary experience on our Family of Rotary group pool on Flickr. The above photo gallery is a sample of the more than 500 photos (and counting) that have been added to our Flickr group. See the whole collection on the Your photos page, or upload a photo of your own.
Family Month celebrates the family of Rotary, which, in addition to individual Rotarians, includes all of those who are involved in Rotary's work from Rotary Foundation program alumni to participants in Rotary youth programs in thousands of communities around the world.
Spouses and children of Rotarians play a vital role in Rotary too. Rotary clubs benefit immensely when they strive to achieve a balanced interaction between Rotarians and their families, enhancing home lives and family interactions.
Page 13
Rotaract is a Rotary-sponsored service club for young men and women ages 18 to 30. Rotaract clubs are either community or university based, and they’re sponsored by a local Rotary club. This makes them true "partners in service" and key members of the family of Rotary. Through the Rotaract program, young adults not only augment their knowledge and skills, but they also address the physical and social needs of their communities while promoting international understanding and peace through a framework of friendship and service.
Membership starts with you! Invite friends, family and co-workers to become members of Rotaract
