THIS WEEK'S PROGRAM:
GSE CARIBBEAN TEAM VISIT
15 APR 2008
By Steve Pontius
Today we welcome the Group Study Exchange professionals from Rotary
District 7020. All four individuals are from Haiti…a public administrator,
an agricultural engineer, a travel agent and the leader of a
non-profit community development organization. Joseph Odera, Jean
Gilet, Maryse Exuma and Caleb Lucien represent the some of the best
young professionals in their communities and in their country.
You’ll hear their stories and find out that the challenges they face day in
and day-out are not that different from what we face everyday in
Fort Myers. That’s what Rotary International and the GSE Program is
all about…building understanding.
TEAM ROTARY IN THE DOWNTOWN RELAY FOR LIFE EVENT
Exciting things are coming as our “Team Rotary” cranks up to raise money for the American Cancer Society’s first ever Downtown Fort Myers Relay for Life. A major fundraiser for ACS, a Relay for Life event is also a moving celebration of cancer survivors and a touching remembrance of those we have lost to the disease.
Plans are still being made, but the event’s theme of “Feelin’ Groovy for a Cure” is sure to play a big part in team events and fundraising stunts as we grow closer to the May 2nd event.
Our team goal is $5,000, and with the help of all club members that will be easy to reach! Go to www.DowntownRelayforLife.com and make a donation or to sign up to help the team. For more information on how you can participate, contact our dynamic Team Chair Rotarian Natalie Van Horn (nvanhorn@zenosolutions.com).
