President Gabe's Message
A while ago, I read one of the books written about His Holiness,
The 14th Dalai Lama. I think it was called "Happiness". Whether
you are religious or not, it is a good book to read.
The one thing I learnt from the book was that you can choose the
mood, or emotional state you are in. It is something that is
fundamentally different from my, and I presume a lot of other
people's, upbringing. I have always been taught, or at least I
have always believed or assumed, that how I feel is how I feel and
there is nothing I can do about. I can pretend outwardly to be in
a different emotional state, but not to alter how I actually feel.
Form what I can recall, the book had a very different view.

DG Jim Studebaker's Weekly Message
(Issue 27, 26 January 2009)
January is Rotary Awareness Month
"Let's finish this thing off!"

worldwide. They embrace large populations and small communities.
They set people on courses they couldn’t have dreamed about. They
repair lives and they inspire actions that truly go ‘above and
beyond’. Of all the projects that Rotary has undertaken, the Polio
Plus program is the one that continues to draw accolades for its
sheer size and the audacity of its implementation. Polio Plus has
been a project of Rotary for 24 years. We are now achingly close
to eradicating this condition...
