He described the cooperation with District 4170 in Mexico to supply emergency services and invited us to join him the last week in February, 2006 when our district will deliver three fire trucks to that area.

The Faces of Rotary include work we do through the Gift of Life (Qudrat), the Gift of Sight (cataract surgeries in India), Polio Plus, Ambassadorial Scholars, Youth Exchanges, and GSE Teams, but the most important face of Rotary is the person who invited you to be a member.� Invite someone else to be a member and be the face of Rotary for that person.

All of these programs are supported through the Annual Programs Fund.� Every Rotarian needs to give at least $100 Every Year to keep them going.
