For the past 70 years, the Waterloo Rotary Club has invited area high school athletes to our meeting to honor their accomplishments on and off the field. Monday's meeting marks the 71st anniversary of this event and we'll award the Glen "Doc" Miller Award to a deserving student athlete. Rotarians are asked to arrive a bit early and help welcome students, administrators, and families as we gather to praise the future leaders of our community.
The highlight will be placing shoeboxes and layettes in the hands of those who need them
So far we’ve done the work part of the shoebox project. Now comes the fun part—traveling south to help hand them out and to see the many projects we’re involved in.
The trip will be eight days December 13 thru the 20th. Land portion is once again $775 plus $210 for single occupancy. Make your own travel arrangements, choosing from United, American or Delta. All arrive in Managua within an hour of the others.
The Palais des Nations in Geneva, built as the headquarters for the League of Nations, remains an enduring emblem of humanity’s hope for global peace, making it an ideal setting for this year’s Rotary Day at the United Nations on 11 November.
Underscoring this year’s theme — Peace: Making a Difference — the event will include workshops devoted to sustainability and peace, as well as a workshop on education, science, and peace, designed by and for young leaders.
A variety of speakers will contribute to the discussion, including Rotary International President Ian H.S. Riseley; Rotary Foundation Trustee Chair Paul A. Netzel; Walter B Gyger and Claudine Wyssa, the representatives of Rotary International to UN/Geneva; and Dr. Mohanned Arabiat, president of Generations for Peace.
