Fellow Rotarians: Rotary Clubs in Pakistan need our help in responding to devastating flood conditions and we are in a unique position to offer substantial assistance. Our goal is to raise $25,000 which The Rotary Foundation (TRF) has committed to match providing our partner clubs in Pakistan with $ 50,000 in assistance through a special Rotary Pakistan Flooding Recovery Fund. Donating through TRF has distinct advantages: 1. TRFs Matching Grants program management processes ensure accountability and transparency of funds with 100% of funds going to beneficiaries, 2. Funds go to projects submitted by fellow Rotary Clubs in Pakistan who are on the ground and understand the needs ensuring accountability for results, and 3. Our donations are doubled through the matching grants program. Some of your Fellow Club Members have responded quickly and committed to individual donations totaling over $7,000. The Club Board of Directors has designated $5,000 from the Disaster Relief Fund and encouraged the Rotary Foundation of Washington DC to match that amount with another $5,000 placing us well on our way to the $25,000 goal (TRF matching provides a total of $50,000). Additionally, members of the Pakistan community and other concerned citizens in the Washington DC area have approached us to ask if their funds can be matched by TRF (they can).

Understanding Where the Funds Will Go More than 20 million people have been affected by the devastating flood conditions in Pakistan. While the death toll fortunately is not high as yet, the loss of property and food production is immense. More than one million people are still stranded in the open and vulnerable to disease and hunger; and there is fear that the casualties are going to be high as the flood waters move south and many more villages are washed away.

Rotarians have risen to the occasion and are participating in rescue and relief operations throughout the country. The Disaster Action Group has sent Shelter Boxes which have been placed in position and food and health needs are being addressed. Everyday, truck loads of ration packets are being sent to villages overcome by the flood waters. A Rotary Example. Rotary Past District Governor M. Saeed Shamsi (RI District 3270 Pakistan & Afghanistan) and a member of the Rotary Club of Lahore Sharqi (East) says that after the first responders work is over, the real help will be needed to rebuild villages and the means of food production and reviving of local economies to sustain life. His Club is working with local government officials to build Rotary Villages, innovative low cost housing using a cluster of houses concept and relying on significant local labor including the labor of the ultimate owners of these houses. The Rotary Club of Lahore will be able to submit this project to TRF for funding through the Rotary Pakistan Flooding Recovery Fund. Our Club, through TRF, will partner with Clubs like Lahore to provide much needed assistance. What We Are Doing The Board of Directors of the Rotary Club of Washington DC has authorized a fund raising campaign to encourage individual Club members, and non-members, to donate funds to the Rotary Pakistan Flooding Recovery Fund. Please donate if you can. Make checks payable to The Rotary Foundation and in the memo line indicate Rotary Pakistan Flooding Recovery Fund. Send checks to the Rotary Club of Washington DC., 1101, 16th Street, 1C Level NW, Washington, DC. 20036. We will consolidate these contributions and ensure that they are designated for matching funds. Donations to TRF, a charitable foundation, are normally tax deductible (see your tax advisor for definitive advice). Thank you for your humanitarian efforts, and setting an example of being a Rotarian in word, action and deed. A copy of this letter with pictures is attached should you want to distribute it to friends and associates. Donald Marx, President 2010-2011 Rotary Club of Washington, DC

62nd Charter Anniversary Dinner Saturday, October 9, 2010

September 2010

Dear Fellow and Sister Rotarians:

It is the time of year to celebrate our anniversary. The 62nd Charter Anniversary Committee is currently working hard to make this event enjoyable and meaningful. Rotarian Cager will be our MC, although he may sound more like a DJ. PE ROADRUNNER is going to surprise you with a wonderful entertainment. Artist Rotarian SEAN will take photographs again, as he did for our Charity Night 2010. Rotarian ELIZABETH negotiated hard with Rotarian ACHIMs staff to get good quality meals and venue at a reasonable price. She is also organizing a sight-seeing tour for the overseas visitors. DDS/PP BIO will again scratch his head on the seating arrangement. Doris and Lindsey will panic during the registration process. IPP AMPO, Rotarian STEVEN, Rotarian SEAN and Rotarian PHILIP will produce a unique program book with your advertisements. Rotarian JILL, Rotarian EQUUS and Rotaractors will welcome the guests and ensure that they are all comfortable throughout the event. VP DownUnder will ensure that all of you will bring home a gift from the President. HS JOANN will ensure that the 200 seats are fully booked. Rotarian JACK is organizing a 2-day Golf Event. VIPs from District 3480, including DG John will be coming. Our Baby Clubs and friendly Clubs will send their representatives. Our Sister Club, the Rotary Club of Taipo will bring 16 people this year. We also will have visitors from the Rotary Club of Macau. Let us show them that the Rotary Club of Taipei is a very friendly Club and welcome them warmly. (Yes, you may hug them)

The 2010 Charity Night will be held at the Palais de Chine Hotel on Saturday, October 9, 2010. We

will have a video presentation, photography shooting sessions, musical entertainment and other activities. I am counting on you to invite your friends and family members to celebrate this happy evening together.

We do need your advertisement sponsorship for our program book. If you are willing to help, please contact Rotarian PHILIP or IPP AMPO on this.

If you have any suggestion on how this event should be organized, please contact me. I am looking forward to making another successful event with you.

Sincerely yours,

Koji Lee President Rotary Club of Taipei

RESOLUTIONS Today I shall Re-examine my values with the realization that materiasl success alone never produces happiness. Assiduously avoid talking about other peoples faults, and instead try to find my own, so that I can improve upon them.

RESOLUTIONS Today I shall Try to achieve true freedom, which means doing what I know is the best thing to do, instead of what I feel like doing. Try to do a personal inventory, to seek out where I might have some faults that I identify in others, and make an effort to correct them.
