ROTARY INTERNATIONAL

The Rotary Club of North Vancouver is one of over
22,000 Rotary Clubs in the world. They exist in
almost every country, and now even in China and
ihe Commonwealth of Independent States (formerly
the USSR). The objective of Rotary International is
to encourage and foster service to the global
community. In doing this. Clubs maintain the
highest business and personal ethics. Our whole
approach is summed up in the Rotary “4-Way Test"
for everything we do or say:

is it the truth?

is it fair to all concerned?

is it of benefit to all concerned?

will it foster good will and understanding to all?

In the North Vancouver Club, we recently heard of a
critical shortage of sterile gloves for hospitals in
Ethiopia. Operations were being cancelled or
severely delaved because surgeons did not have
sterile rubber gloves. We arranged to send a stock of
gloves from North Vancouver to Addis Abbaba.
Operations are now taking place again. Just a smail
example of how we can ALL make a difference to
someone's life,

Members of Rotary Clabs nut only work with local
communities but also support many globai projects.
Most recent has been the project to eliminate polio
throughout the world by the year 2000. This massive
program bas collected over $230 million (US) and to
date, the project has immunised over 500 million
children across the world.

Closer to home, here in Vancouver, Rotary Clubs
recently arranged planting of a forest of trees along
the approaches to

the new Cassiar

our “Plant a Tree for

Rotary World-

wide campaign.
