A little humor to brighten your day! Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson were going camping. They pitched their tent under the stars and went to sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said: “Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what you see.” Watson replied: “I see millions and millions of stars.” Holmes said: “and what do you deduce from that?” Watson replied: “Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it’s quite likely there are some planets like earth out there. And if there are a few planets like earth out there, there might also be life.” And Holmes said: “Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody stole our tent.” Birthday/Anniversary

Providing clean water to families in Peru Rotary International News -- 20 March 2012

In Lima, Peru, more than 70 percent of the drinking water comes from the Rimac River, which is polluted with high

levels of cadmium, copper, lead, zinc, and arsenic.

To help alleviate that problem, The Rotary Foundation and its partners have supplied water filters to 5,000 families living

along the river.

"They are not just giving us a concrete box," says Maria Moron, one of the recipients of a filter. "They are giving us

health, and our children a better quality of life."

The Lima project is just one example of how Rotarians are helping to improve access to clean drinking water and

adequate sanitation around the globe. You can help support these efforts by making a special gift to The Rotary

Foundation in honor of World Water Day on 22 March.

Direct your Annual Fund gift to SHARE, to help support the local and international activities of clubs in your district, or

direct your entire gift to the water and sanitation area of focus fund, to be spent on quality water and sanitation projects

identified and implemented by Rotarians around the world.

Either way, your contribution will be used to fund high impact, sustainable solutions to our world’s most pressing

needs.
