9/11 Tribute
Speaker: Rotary Global History Fellowship
Date: Sep 12, 2011
It is now 10 years since the World Trade Center Disaster of 9/11. I believe it was the saddest time in the history of New York City when more than 2,700 innocent people lost their lives. At the same time, I believe it was the most glorious time of the Rotary Club of New York, when it became the focus of compassionate Rotarians around the world, who contributed more than $1,4 million to the New York Rotary Foundation for the benefit of the 9/11 victims.

District Governor's Visit
Speaker: Alan Havir
Date: Aug 29, 2011
Who wouldn’t want to join my Rotary, especially the E-Club. After spending several evenings at the International convention in New Orleans it became very apparent that the E-club fellowship is alive and well and living all over the world. Many people say to me that E is not a club. I say it is the most amazing club in Rotary, doing great service around the world and it’s the members that make it that way. E-Club transcends time and place, where the Rotary spirits connect.

Interact, the Future of Rotary
Speaker: Richard Frische
Date: Aug 22, 2011
Interact is Rotary International’s service club for young people ages 12 to 18. Interact clubs are sponsored by individual Rotary clubs, which provide support and guidance, but they are self-governing and self-supporting.
Each year, Interact clubs complete countless community service projects, under the Rotary slogan “service above self.”
Through these efforts, Interactors develop a network of friendships with local and overseas clubs and learn the importance of:
- Developing leadership skills and personal integrity.
- Benefiting the community through service projects.
- Creating valuable friendships.
- Advancing international understanding and goodwill.

Human Planet
Speaker: Chris Cochrane
Date: Aug 15, 2011
Member Chris Cochrane shared this wonderful Program.
The idea for Human Planet started 6 years ago. After finishing a video shoot on Antarctica for National Geographic, the team assembled thought it a shame the most important species on planet Earth - man -has never been systematically profiled on film.
After some research time ( 6 months), the team - led by myself - presented the concept for Human Planet to major film studios and TV networks around the world.
All wanted to fund a series but we choose the BBC because their resources are infinitely more. As BBC is owned by the UK government, it has access to funding, contacts, and resources other networks only dream about having.
The team worked with BBC producers and technical people to create the series: Human Planet. It's being hailed in the media as ground-breaking and one of the finest series ever done. We'll take the kudos but ultimately you be the judge.
Please Watch the Video, It's about 3 minutes, 30 seconds long.
