The mission of Rotary International is to provide service to others, promote integrity, and advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through its fellowship of business, professional, and community leaders. The Rotary Club of Pflugerville is an excellent example of many diverse and dynamic people coming together to promote and support this mission. We invite you to come visit us during our meetings and many activities and experience the happiness we share in our "service above self". Our meetings are open to the public. We encourage you to take advantage of the several opportunities available and stop in and see why Pflugerville Rotary is "the little club that keeps on giving!"
Our Pfocus Pfriday is an informal gathering at Pecan Street Station Deli & Grill every Friday from 7:00 - 8:00 am. This gathering is as much about fellowship as it is discussing club activities and improvements, so please feel welcome to join us. This is also an excellent way to learn more about who we are and what we do. Don't be shy! Stop on by for some delicious food and great company! Join us on FaceBook |

Our PHS Interact Charter presentation on 2 Nov 2011. Thank you ADG D5870 Hanspeter Tobler, D5870 New Generations Chair Julian Grant, and D5870 Interact Chair Carroll Sharp for helping make this presentation very memorable. Also, a special thanks to PISD Superintendent Charles Dupre for his support of this great program and Dustin Parks, their faculty sponsor!
"The RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) camp experience was fun, educational, and entertaining. The skits, the team building, the leadership exercises, the bonding with our counselors and other students will be etched in my memory forever. The camp theme "Find your power within" helped identify our leadership skills. Now it's up to us to apply what we've learned to become effective and successful leaders in our community, at school and in our future."
"RYLA was life changing and unforgettable. The friendships, intensity, and just plain fun I had there will stick with me throughout my years. Thank you for giving me this opportunity, it will help shape my life and the lives that I touch in the future." |

Rotary International
Rotary International is a worldwide organization of more than 1.2 million business, professional, and community leaders. Members of Rotary clubs, known as Rotarians, provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.
"In 2011-12, I will ask Rotarians to Reach Within to Embrace Humanity . I will ask you to search first within yourselves, to understand that all of us, everywhere, have the same dreams, the same hopes, the same aspirations, and similar dilemmas. When we understand, and truly feel, that others' needs are the same as our own, we begin to understand how important our work is................. Together, we will Reach Within to Embrace Humanity . And in peace, harmony, and friendship, we will bring change - and a more joyful world." Fight against polio The bivalent oral polio vaccine is proving to be a potent weapon in the arsenal of Rotary and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. Developed to stop transmission of the type 1 and type 3 wild polioviruses simultaneously, the vaccine was introduced in all four polio-endemic countries -- Afghanistan, India, Nigeria, and Pakistan -- in late 2009 and early 2010, and has helped reduce the incidence of polio dramatically in both India and Nigeria. Meanwhile, a study published in the Vaccine journal, "Economic Analysis of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative", estimated that the initiative could prevent more than eight million cases of paralytic polio and save US$40 billion to $50 billion, if the wild poliovirus is eradicated in 2012 or shortly thereafter. But the news was not all positive. Rotary provided $500,000 in emergency grants to UNICEF and WHO for immediate polio immunization efforts in Tajikistan in April and another $500,000 in November for immunization efforts in the Republic of the Congo, following outbreaks of the wild poliovirus in those countries. Such outbreaks illustrate that all countries remain at risk for the importation of the poliovirus and show the urgent need to End Polio Now. |
