Our club's debut event, Rotary Rocks the Holidays, will be held on 12/16/17 at the Dominican Sisters Center, Fremont. There will be a wine/cheese reception, three courses buffet dinner - Carved Beef Tri Tips, Poached Salmon and Citrus Glazed Chicken, raffle prizes and "Oldies but Goodies" Classic Rock live dance music by the IdeaBand. We'll also play some of the newer songs for the younger members. Hope you will like our music.
Please consider hosting a table of (10) and invite some of your friends/relatives, clients or some of your staff to kick off the Holiday celebration. You can treat your guests or collect $75/person (checks payable to Fremont Rotary Club) and forward them to Marlene on or before the event date.
Please note that the table will be reserved under your name and your guests only need to mention your name when they check in and they will then be directed to your assigned table. This will largely reduce Marlene's ticket collection and registration workload. I am happy to answer any questions that you may have on Wed when we see each other!
Thank you very much for your participation and support of the club!

2017-18 RI President Ian H.S. Riseley announces his presidential theme,
Rotary: 'Making a Difference'
Rotary International President-elect Ian H.S. Riseley made the case on Monday that protecting the environment and curbing climate change are essential to Rotary’s goal of sustainable service.
Riseley, a member of the Rotary Club of Sandringham, Victoria, Australia, unveiled the 2017-18 presidential theme, Rotary: Making a Difference, to incoming district governors at Rotary’s International Assembly in San Diego, California, USA.
Environmental degradation and global climate change are serious threats to everyone, Riseley said. “They are having a disproportionate impact on those who are most vulnerable, those to whom Rotary has the greatest responsibility. Yet environmental issues rarely register on the Rotary agenda,” he said.

“The time is long past when environmental sustainability can be dismissed as not Rotary’s concern. It is, and must be, everyone’s concern,” he said.
The president-elect challenged every Rotary club to make a difference by planting a tree for each of its members between the start of the Rotary year on 1 July and Earth Day on 22 April 2018. Trees remove carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from the air, which slows global warming.
“It is my hope that the result of that effort will be far greater than the environmental benefit that those 1.2 million new trees will bring,” Riseley said. “I believe the greater result will be a Rotary that recognizes our responsibility not only to the people on our planet, but to the planet itself.”

WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN TO END POLIO
One of the most important aspects of the fight to eradicate polio is detecting where the disease is present. This continuous surveillance is complicated and costly. Ninety percent of people infected with the virus show no symptoms, and those who do usually have mild symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and headaches. Only one in every 200 cases of the illness results in paralysis, which means that for every child with signs of paralysis, several hundred are carrying the disease and may not show it.
