What are your Rotary New Year Resolutions? (I've updated mine since last week )
Jim Becker asked that you come with one to share to the club. Since I will not be at the meeting today, I will share here, with all of you, mine. My resolution is to have 100% attendance. I will achieve that my attending meetings regularly, doing make-ups through the e-club and by attending and participating in committee meetings for our various fundraisers. What will YOU do and how?

Let's not forget our Annual Spaghetti Dinner...Dennis and Cleo will be looking to form their committee and we need all hands on deck!

When Teguest Yilma helped found the Rotary Club of Addis Ababa Entoto in 2002, she thought polio had already been eradicated from most of the world. But while Ethiopia had been free of the disease, Yilma was shocked to learn that new cases had started cropping up in surrounding countries such as Somalia.
“I was thinking, it’s not possible, we can’t be free if the countries around us are not free,” she says. Yilma, the managing editor of Capital, Ethiopia’s largest English weekly newspaper, has brought a journalist’s skills to the fight against polio. She became vice chair of the Ethiopia...
