International compete for free air miles donation. All Rotarians,
Rotaractors, and friends of Rotary are encouraged to vote every day here:
Back on December 18, Rotary was #18 and today we are #3 with 10.4% of the
total votes. All Rotary needs to move into the #2 spot is 13.1%. The
allocation of 10 million air miles will be by percentage so every vote counts.
Rotary can use these air miles to help transport vaccine, supplies, and
volunteers working to eradicate polio and save millions of children from this
disease now and in future generations. Please vote every day through Dec.

This month both Facebook and ROSNF are releasing new timeline support.
Facebook has a new profile option where each user can define their own timeline
of events. This is scheduled to become the default profile format.
At the same time ROSNF has published its Global Club Directory Facebook
application version 1.0.10 with support for each club to define its own timeline
of service events. In addition, club fellowship, fundraisers, speakers,
district, zone, and RI events can be added. For example, if you go to the
application and select “Search Events”, select event type “RI”, and click
“Search Events”, you will see display of all the RI Conventions starting with
2011 through 2017 including links to Facebook pages where available. Help
update your club’s timeline of service and contribute to the larger district,
zone, and all of Rotary timeline of service which you can view by selecting
“Search Events”, select type “Service Events”, and click “Search”. You can
