Brrrr! These time of year, wintry weather and snow sends everyone to dig out their winter gear. Parents spend extra time in the morning making sure that their children are bundled off to school with adequate protection against the elements. But not all families in our community are able to provide their children with hats and mittens to help keep them safe from the cold. That's where Nashua Rotary West comes in. For more than 5 years, members of this community service group have allocated funds they raised, supplemented by their personal donations, to help outfit children in preschool through high school with winter gear.

One of the highlights of this year’s District Conference in Burlington on June 1, 2 and 3 was the chance to meet Dr.
Sylvia Whitlock and hear her story about how women became eligible to join Rotary. She was on the front lines of the battle
with Rotary International back in the 1980's. She went on to become the President of her Rotary Club and then became the first woman District Governor in Rotary. Without Dr.
Whitlock and her colleagues’ willingness to take on RI there is absolutely no question that Rotary would not be the dynamic worldwide organization that it is today. Come to
Burlington to hear her story first hand.

Rotary International
Rotary is an organization of business and professional leaders united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.
In more than 160 countries worldwide, approximately 1.2 million Rotarians belong to more than 30,000 Rotary clubs.
Rotary club membership represents a cross-section of the community's business and professional men and women. The world's Rotary clubs meet weekly and are nonpolitical, nonreligious, and open to all cultures, races, and creeds.
The main objective of Rotary is service — in the community, in the workplace, and throughout the world. Rotarians develop community service projects that address many of today's most critical issues, such as children at risk, poverty and hunger, the environment, illiteracy, and violence. They also support programs for youth, educational opportunities and international exchanges for students, teachers, and other professionals, and vocational and career development. The Rotary motto is Service Above Self.
Although Rotary clubs develop autonomous service programs, all Rotarians worldwide are united in a campaign for the global eradication of polio. In the 1980s, Rotarians raised US$240 million to immunize the children of the world; by 2005, Rotary's centenary year and the target date for the certification of a polio-free world, the PolioPlus program will have contributed US$500 million to this cause. In addition, Rotary has provided an army of volunteers to promote and assist at national immunization days in polio-endemic countries around the world.
