Editor’s Note
Dear Friends,
We hope you had a great holiday season and are raring to go this new year. Our club was the beneficiary of a wonderful thesis on how to improve the economy by Dr. William James. We also had a great time with a fellowship event to celebrate the holidays [check out the photos].
Rotary celebrates January as Rotary Awareness Month.
This new feature is aimed to encourage members to learn more about the organization to which they belong. Every fortnight, a new set of questions will be sent out with the bulletin. All answers must be sent via e-mail to the club e-mail account: nbctrotary@yahoo.com [accessible through the club website] within 1 week of receiving the bulletin. During the following club meeting a winner will be picked at random from all the correct entries and a food item will be donated in that person's name to the North Branford Community Food Bank. At the end of the year, the member who has the most donations will be receive a special recognition. You can access the answers to the previous questions at: http://www.clubrunner.ca/Data/7980/3793/HTML/148694//NBRCQuiz.docx.

| Jan 13, 2012 | | Jan 13, 2012  Club member Mukund Nori (right) is seen receiving a pin and a crystal from Club Foundation Chair Dick Aitro (left) for achieving the status of Major Donor, i.e., he has cumulatively donated $10,000 to the Rotary Foundation and its programs. He recognized Mike Bergantino and Ed Pikaart, two other club members who are Major Donors, as his role models and thanked the club for its support. | | Jan 13, 2012  Dr. Eric Hodgson, one of the newest members of our club, is an expert on Maternal Fetal Medicine gave us a very educational talk about his work as a faculty member of Yale New Haven Hospital. He spoke about what it takes to achieve this level of education and expertise and how he uses it not only to help families bring children into this world, but also to diagnose fetal defects while the baby is still in the uterus. He provided a fascinating insight into the world of obstetrics and gynecology. |
 Since 1985, Rotary International with its partners, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the Centers for Disease Control, has fought to eradicate polio.
 To date, we have eliminated 99% of polio in the world. We are this close. All it takes is $1 to immunize a child - $1 for a lifetime of immunity against one of the worst diseases afflicting children.
To donate, please contact the club.
You can watch a video of our progress at http://www.rotary.org/en/ServiceAndFellowship/Polio/Pages/ridefault.aspx.
 NEADS (National Education for Assistance Dog Services) (also known as Dogs for Deaf and Disabled Americans), is a non-profit organization that was established in 1976 to provide canine assistance for people who are deaf or have a physical disability. These assistance dogs become an extension of their handlers and bring freedom, physical autonomy and relief from social isolation to their human partners.
