2019 Rotary NID India

Dear Club President and Fellow Rotarian:

The purpose of this correspondence is to announce our trip to India to participate in the late January/early February, 2019 polio National Immunization Days (NID) activities. This trip offers you and the Rotarians in your club and District an extraordinary opportunity to have an experience of a life time. Attached is a document that provides specific information about the trip, including a means of joining the program. The material can also be accessed at our website: www.HowardTours.net

Please feel free to share this information with the Rotarians and clubs in your District as soon as possible as we have a limited amount of space and expect this trip to be filled within the next week or two.

In 2015, India was declared polio free. In past years, India would organize three or four NID dates. However, in 2019, there is only one NID program. Therefore, we expect this may be one of the last opportunities you will have to join a trip to India to participate in polio NID activities.

The following summarizes the key trip information:

Our program will travel to Delhi, India, where we will participate in the polio NID activities and attend other related Rotary events. This trip also includes travel to Agra to visit the Taj Mahal, and Jaipur to visit the famous Rotary Jaipur Limb factory, and enjoy this extraordinary city.

Date of Departure: Friday, January 25, 2019

Date of Return: Tuesday, February 5, 2019

Per Person Cost, based on double occupancy: $2,499. This price does not include international, roundtrip airfare or Indian visa fees. However, it does include hotels, transfers, Rotary events, participation in the NID activities, most meals, sightseeing, English speaking guide and other items as stated in the attached document. Participants are free to secure their own air reservations using their frequent flyer mileage, or individual purchase. Howard Tours will be happy to help you purchase airline tickets, which can be requested on the trip application.

This group will be limited to approximately 35 people, and confirmation in the program will be on a first come, first served basis. To join us, please complete and sign the application on page five of the attached document. If you, or people from your club are going to join us, we suggest immediate action. Over the last two years, this program sold out in less than two weeks.

We look forward to having you or club members join us.

Fake email and social media accounts target Rotary members in new scam

Rotary recently learned that scammers have created multiple email and social media accounts that impersonate RI President Barry Rassin and General Secretary John Hewko. The social media accounts are on LinkedIn, Twitter, and WhatsApp.

These are not authentic Rotary communications. They are phishing and spoofing attempts to obtain money and personal information.

Rotary monitors for and responds to these attempts as part of an ongoing effort to keep member, program participant, and staff data safe. We also work with LinkedIn, Twitter, and WhatsApp to remove imposter accounts.

Neither President Rassin’s nor General Secretary Hewko’s authentic accounts – nor any of Rotary’s systems – have been compromised.

Rotary members should continue to exercise caution:

Disregard any suspicious message that offers money, requests money, or asks for your personal information.
Avoid opening attachments or following links in suspicious messages.
Pay close attention to the details of the email address and signature block to verify the sender.

If you receive what you believe to be a suspicious message from the president, general secretary, or another Rotary leader, please forward it to Rotary’s chief information officer at richard.kick@rotary.org and then delete it immediately. Please also report any suspicious social media accounts to richard.kick@rotary.org.

Lauren Update

Lauren Asprooth shared with us an update on the work she is going to be doing in Rome which includes measurements on how certain agricultural changes are impacting the environment. We wish her the best of luck in her future position.

Time Capsule

Rita shared with the club that a time capsule was found when they were doing renovations on the Shrade Gymnasium. Inside they found a letter written by Bill Tiknis. :) Along with the letter was a silver dollar. The letter was very nice and after a brief discussion, the club decided to leave the letter and dollar as is and place it back in the time capsule. What a wonderful surprise from one of our founding club Rotarians.

Special Project Committee

Update from Chief Falese:

We have roughly $18,000 in the special project fund.
No set amount of money has been defined. Proposals can be submitted for up to $18,000 or the club can decide on a bigger project to continue to raise money towards.
Hustle Up the Hancock is fleeting. There may be a chance that it will no longer be a viable fundraiser for the club.
Club members need to decide on a new fundraiser and get serious about implementing a new event.
Chief Falese will have forms for project submissions at the next Rotary meeting.
The committee recommendation includes the following:
Project should have high visibility so that we can used it to help grow our membership,
Project should have a local impact.
A small group should be formed to research different fundraising events that we can implement in the near future.

If you have any questions please see any of the committee members:
