Make Dreams Real is the 2008-09 Rotary International theme. D.
K. Lee, the Rotary International President for 08-09, wants
every club to focus on our most precious resource: our
children. Every day, 30,000 children under the age of 5 die
from a preventable cause. Helping to reduce the child mortality
rate through club and district service projects is the goal set
forth by President Lee.
Children today still face the threat of Polio until we keep our
promise of making the world Polio free. Rotary International
has been battling Polio for 20 years and the number of cases has
been reduced by ninety-nine percent! The final one percent
could be the most difficult and expensive. Rotary has a 100
million dollar, three year challenge to match the Gates
Foundation to fight Polio eradication. We have been asked to
support this challenge by contributing $1,000 a year for three
years. I have full confidence that Algona Rotarians will be up
to this challenge.
It is an honor to be a member of the Algona Rotary Club and I am
thankful for the opportunity to serve as the 2008-09 club
president. With everyone’s help we can finish our promise to
eradicate polio and Make Dreams Real for the world’s
children.
