President
Ralph Imundo
Utica
Rotary's Leader for 2007-08 Outlines Plans
Happy new Rotary year from
the staff of The Hub. This Friday we will hear
from Utica Rotary's '07-'08 president, Ralph Imundo.
Ralph will introduce us to the RI theme for this year,
Rotary Shares, and outline his plans to "make the best
Rotary Club better."
Ralph joined Utica Rotary
in 1995, and has participated in all avenues of Rotary
service. He has been a member of the board of directors,
has represented our club at many district events, and
most recently led a team of volunteers that planned our
club's transition to the new RI Club Leadership Plan.
Earlier this year Ralph was recognized as a Paul Harris
Fellow by the Rotary Club of Utica.
Please join us at Twin
Ponds this Friday as we all Share Rotary with our new
president.

You Snooze
You Lose on Youth Exchange Tour of America
Many of the Youth Exchange
students who spent the 2006-2007 academic year in
district 7150 are taking a whirlwind tour of the US.
They will take one lap of America in the comfort of a
motor coach, logging 6000 miles or so in the process.
Check future issues of The Hub for more from this
trip.

Beware of
Email Scam Aimed at Rotarians
Unfortunately a recent
e-mail scam, and some other forms of Internet fraud,
have been targeting Rotarians and misusing Rotary
information, we have learned from Rotary International.
The latest e-mail scam,
brought to RI's attention by Rotarians who received the
messages, is an e-mail that falsely claims to be from
the International Computer Users Fellowship of
Rotarians. The sender of these e-mails claims that the
recipients won a raffle and that all winners are asked
to donate 10 percent of their prize to a Rotary project.
It also claims the best project will receive a prize
from The Rotary Foundation.
RI is aware of these
schemes and encourages Rotarians to be vigilant about
deleting any e-mail that appears suspicious. Rotary
International does not solicit funds via e-mail, nor
does it request that personal information be updated via
e-mail or other electronic means.

Joke of the
Week
A man takes his Rottweiler
to the vet and says, “My dog’s cross-eyed, is there
anything you can do for him?” “Well,” says the vet,
“let’s have a look at him” So he picks the dog up and
examines his eyes, then checks his teeth. Finally, he
says “I’m going to have to put him down.” The man
says, “What? Because he’s cross-eyed?” “No", replies the
vet, "because he’s really heavy.”
