2012 Metro Trivia Night
Metro’s annual fundraising event will be held Friday, February 3 at the Knights of Columbus Hall (2525 North Stadium Blvd.). Plan to join fellow Rotarians and friends for what has become a fun-filled evening of fellowship, good food and fun!
Doors will open at 5:45 p.m. A dinner buffet provided by Sam Bennett will begin at 6:00 p.m. with trivia starting at 7:00 p.m. Auction items will be available for purchase. If you have items to donate, please contact Marcia Machens.
Tickets are $35 per person or $250 for a table of eight. They are available at weekly Rotary meetings through February 1. Proceeds from this year’s event will benefit the Douglass High School Bike Club! This is our main fundraiser for the year! Each member is expected to sell, sponsor or donate $100 for the event. If you have not picked up raffle tickets yet or indicated your commitment, please contact Les Borgmeyer as soon as possible!

President's Corner
January is Rotary Awareness Month!
Happy New Year! As we enter the second half of this year, I know everyone is still excited from all the wonders that the annual holiday season brings. It’s a time for reflection of the year past, but also a time to look forward at what is to come.
As we begin 2012, I encourage you to reflect on Rotary. Hopefully, you are aware of what a fantastic organization you are a part of and what Rotary means locally and internationally. As a refresher, I offer the following: in February, Rotary will celebrate its 107th birthday; there are over 1.2 million Rotarians worldwide; there are over 32,000 Rotary clubs in 200 countries; Rotary has helped all but eradicate polio; the Group Study Exchange program has helped more than 57,000 young professionals explore their career fields; and the Rotary Ambassadorial Scholars program has helped more than 47,000 students from 110 countries study abroad. Rotarians make a difference!
Thanks again for the role each of you play to make Metro Rotary such a wonderful organization. I look forward to the next six months!
President Jim
