RI President Ray Klinginsmith’s message:
You are about to become the new class of Rotary governors, and in just five months, it will be our mutual responsibility not only to maintain Rotary as a premier organization but to move it to an even higher level.
Rotary needs the full commitment of each and every of you, because a convoy can only move 4 International Assembly Speeches 2010 at the speed of the slowest ship

Official DG Visit - part 1
The First Official DG Visit to RC Surabaya Darmo and RC Surabaya Selatan
Success Stories of Polio PlusIndia
India continues to make progress in its efforts to eradicate polio. In Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, no cases of type 1 polio, the most virulent strain of the virus, have been reported since November 2009. The government in Delhi has also provided a list of construction sites in the state to help address the need for better immunization coverage among India’s migrant population.
Nigeria– In April 2010, Christian Onyebuchi Chukwu was appointed the new Minister of Health for Nigeria. Professor Chukwu is an active Rotarian (as is his wife) and former polio state representative for Katsina. President Klinginsmith, who will participate in a PolioPlus Summit in Abuja in September 2010, sent a letter to congratulate professor Chukwu on his appointment, and to encourage him to continue to build on Nigeria’s progress toward eradication through work with state and local government authorities, particularly in the high risk states of Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, and Zamfara.
PolioPlus Summit in Nigeria – On 20-22 September 2010, a PolioPlus Summit will be held in Abuja, Nigeria to capitalize on recent successes in the country’s polio eradication campaign. The event is intended to provide support and motivation to Rotarians, government officials, traditional leaders, and others involved in the effort. The summit will c o i n c i d e w i t h S u b N a t i o n a l Immunization Plus Days (SNIPDs) scheduled for 18-21 September. Atendees may wish to participate in the immunization activities during their visit. Rotary’s President Ray Klinginsmith and T r u s t e e C h a i r C a r l - W i l h e l m Stenhammar will attend the summit, along with other Rotary officials and partners from within and outside the country. The tentative Summit agenda includes a welcome reception, dinner event, and an exhibition of polio-related Rotary projects.
