Assistant Governor's Talking Points:

Theme Pin overview for 2010
Polio Plus overview for 2010, eradication and vaccinations across the world, areas where polio continues to be prevalent include Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria, and India, polio has not been prevalent in the United States since the 1960's
Overview given to assisting world peace through student exchange programs throughout the world. Students are to be hosted by three families, this provides the student an opportunity to see a broad section of the community. Hopefully a collaboration between Dolores and Cortez Clubs might be able to get together to sponsor a student or students. Students will learn a foreign language, take classes in the visiting country on a pass fail system, students, host families and some Rotary Officials will need to pass a background check, students often participate in "Country Fairs' in which they have an opportunity to speak about their country.
Please note that next week the District Governor will be present at the Dolores Rotary Club Meeting.
