The short term effects of the Haiti earthquake are buildings and roads destroyed, lack of food and clean drinking water, and lack of temporary shelter and drugs and medicines. The long term effects are the economic problems of trying to rebuild houses and businesses, and children who have been left with no parents. We believe that Rotarians can best assist Haiti with the long term goals.







This can be achieved by: 1. Preparation of the club to respond to national or international disasters in close collaboration with other New York Rotary Clubs, the District Governor and Rotary International. In particular, to work closely with the Rotary International Action Groups to ensure coordination and consistency for Rotary assistance. 2. To acquaint Rotary Club of New York members with avenues for giving and assisting with the Rotary Club Partnerships in recipient countries. 3. To work closely with the New York Rotary Foundation on disaster contributions and earmarking of the donor’s contributions.

Please, just do it again!
January 10, 2010
Our last collection of hats, gloves and scarves was a success with over 200 items being collected and handed out. Thanks to all of you. Remember, if you ever have any other items like coats you can just contact me directly and I can arrange to get them and distribute them.Since our last drive was such a success we are going to do it again. This time we will be collecting socks. They must be new and can vary in size. Nothing fancy, just basic cotton tube socks varying in size. I think that larger sizes are probably better as most people that come are men. I am requesting that everyone bring socks to the Wednesday, January 27th meeting. If you are unable to bring in socks but would like to make a cash donation I will accept the money and buy socks.Our goal will be 250 pairs of socks. I am sure we can do this and thank you all in advance for your efforts.Hermann P. Walz

Businesses, regardless of their size, cannot function without IT enabling/driving every activity, from traditional back office systems such as e-mail, accounting, payroll, and inventory management, to strategic applications that interact with customers and business partners. These challenges are compounded by the dynamics of the business, technology, and economy.
