2019 Rotary NID India
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

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.
