Installation Dinner. Submitted Photo/Dave Carter |

In case you missed the newspaper on Monday,
I'll mention that the Outstanding Business Person of the
Year award went to our on District Governor, Wyn
Spiller! She was recognized for her contributions to
the community, her leadership and for the role model she is to
all of us. It was an honor to present the award to her, and she
was totally surprised. Thanks to Vocational Chair Nicole
Dillard for her work in the selection process, Steve
Spiller who convinced Wyn to attend the Chamber dinner,
and to all of you who nominated candidates.
A message from DG Wyn Spiller, "By now most
of you have heard of the terrible shooting in Portland OR in which
two students were killed and seven injured, several of them involved
in RYE. The two victims were an inbound student from Peru and
an outbound student preparing to go abroad next year, three of
the others injured were inbounds to D5100. It is such a heartbreaking
tragedy and one that was completely random, a situation of being
in the wrong place at the wrong time. Our thoughts and prayers
go out to everyone involved." I can forward a copy of the
press release from DG Dennis J. Wickham, MD (D5100) to anyone
interested. Also, if interested, memorial funds are being established.
Congratulations and welcome to Walt Stickle,
our newest member, who was inducted last week. If you haven't
met Walt, please make sure you introduce yourself to him.
Last week's program, hosted by pP Fultzee and
presented by Stephen Gonsalves, was on Batwa
Cultural Preservation. As usual, our Rotarians and guests
were interested in this excellent presentation and asked questions
of interest to us all.
PE Michael Colantuono reports that the District
5190 Visioning Team will be here on Saturday morning,
May 9, so save the date. All members are invited.

The Fight Against Polio: In recognizing Rotary's impressive
fundraising success and steadfast commitment to polio eradication,
Bill Gates, Jr. announced yesterday that his foundation
has decided to increase its challenge grant by $255 million
-- for a total of $355 million! By accepting the
increase, Rotary also accepts the challenge to raise an additional
$100 million in matching funds by June 30, 2012 and drives the combined
Rotary and Gates Foundation partnership's commitment to a total
of $555 million. All of the resulting $555 million will be spent
in support of immunization activities carried out by the Global
Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) in polio-affected countries.
The initiative is spearheaded by Rotary, the World Health Organization
(WHO), the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and
UNICEF.
