SPECIAL BULLETIN

The profile of water and sanitation in Rotary International will receive a
tremendous boost on October 25th.  On that day the United Nations
Association of New York will honor RI and The Rotary Foundation with its
2007 Humanitarian Award, in recognition of Rotary's significant efforts to
provide safe water and sanitation and its commitment to sustainable
development worldwide.

 

"In the years since RI has started focusing on water as one of its annual
service emphases... We've learned just how much can be accomplished with
relatively little, how a single small water project, perhaps a pump or a
filter, can change the life of a community," says RI president Wilf
Wilkinson.  "However, our work has also included participation in many other
major water projects."

 

The award is presented annually in observance of United Nations Day (October
24).  This year's award ceremony will focus on the global water crisis.
Professor Jeffrey D. Sachs, Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia
University and special adviser to the UN Secretary-General, will serve as
Honorary Chair of the event.

 

Proceeds from the dinner will benefit organizations and enterprises working
to alleviate water-related problems around the world.
