A Game Changer in the Lives of Tens of Thousands

by Editor

The numbers are staggering. Over 800 million people lack access to safe water supplies, about one in eight people on the planet. Over 3.5 million people die each year from water-related diseases, 84% are children. Lack of access to clean water and sanitation kills children at a rate equivalent to a jumbo jet crashing every four hours. The ancient Romans had better access to water supplies than half the people on Earth now. How can anyone tackle such an overwhelming challenge? One clean water well at a time, teamwork and a sustained, persistent effort was the response of Rotarians in the Upper Cumberland.

International Night Details Coming Together

January 16, 2011

The Second Annual Rotary International Night is set for January 29, 2011, at 6pm in the Clarion Inn of Cookeville. The event is organized by the Cookeville Breakfast Rotary Club to raise funds for the international and humanitarian programs of Rotary International, such as the global effort to eradicate polio, and the efforts of the club, such as the Rotary Ghana Project.

This year’s International Night will put the spotlight on the country of Saudi Arabia with the assistance of the Saudi Students Club of Tennessee Tech University in Cookeville. The students, acting as ambassadors for their country, are assisting with displays, menu selections, and entertainment. The event is also being supported by the Tennessee World Affairs Council and SUSRIS.com, a web site that features information on US-Saudi relations. These organizations have raised money to offset the costs of the event — thereby permitting almost all of the $25 per person ticket price to go to the Rotary’s good works.

There are many details available on the pages of the Cookeville Breakfast Rotary Club web site — how to get tickets, who are the distinguished visiting speakers, what’s to eat, who is doing the entertaining, what is the purpose of Rotary’s international programs, and much more.

Just visit this pages here [check the menu bar above] for all you would ever want to know about the Second Annual Rotary International Night and we hope to see you there!
