N A M U Z I G A5

I love to reflect on the theme of the month, these help us in our rotary journey, and they relay a message rotary is com-municating. Every month has a different theme unique to rotary and this month our centre of reflection is the MAGAZINE.

The official rotary magazine is THE ROTAR-IAN which was first published in 1911, and is currently a monthly publication and is subscribed to by all Rotarians. The maga-zine shows how Rotary is addressing issues in areas such as disease prevention, ma-ternal and child health, literacy, peace

and conflict resolution, economic devel-opment, and clean water. THE ROTARIAN challenges readers to become more in-volved in service to their neighbourhoods and to the global community. In 2012, THE ROTARIAN swept the Media Industry News-letter awards with 10 editorial and design honours – more than twice the number of any other publication.

Today there are many regional magazines under the Rotary World Magazine Press published in 25 different languages; how-ever the Rotarian remains the main publi-cation. This draws our attention also to our very own Namuziga, and the Wave of our dis-trict. These magazines play a very impor-tant role in the lives, activities and programs of Rotarians. We share the information and stories every Rotarian needs to read.

No wonder, there are awards aimed at rewarding the best magazines. In this magazine month you could think of how each one of could contribute to a stronger magazine.

Remarks from the Buddy Group LeaderRI President’s Message May, 2015

One of my favorite parts of a Rotary convention is the House of Friendship. In Chi-nese, we say:

“To have friends come to-gether from faraway places is a wonderful thing.”

At the 106th annual Rotary International Convention, 6-9 June, the House of Friendship will reflect the excitement and the diverse blend of cultures of São Paulo, the host city.

In between general sessions, you can relax and enjoy all that Brazil has to offer – sample the cuisine, browse locally made gifts, and take in top-quality entertainment. You also can get ideas for service and find partners

at booths showcasing Rotary projects and Ro-tarian Action Groups.And best of all, you’ll have the opportunity to spend time with old friends and make many new ones.

The House of Friendship is a wonderful place to bring your convention guests – your family and your friends from home. By attending conven-tions with me, my family experienced the true internationality of Ro-tary. Eventually my wife, Corinna, and all three of my children joined Rotary clubs.

You and your guests will want to be sure to come early for World Water Summit 7, on 4 June, sponsored by the Water and Sanitation Rotarian Action Group, or for the Rotary Peace Symposium, 4-5 June.This year we are hon-ored that Dr. Oscar Arias, former president of Costa Rica, will be the keynote speaker at the Rotary Peace Sym-posium. Arias received the Nobel Peace Prize

for brokering a peace agreement that ended the brutal civil wars in Central America.

Other events 4-5 June include the Rotaract Preconvention Meet-ing, the International Institute, and the Youth Exchange Officers Pre-convention Meeting.When the convention is over, spend time exploring all that Brazil has to offer – pristine beaches just a few hours away, the excite-ment and glamour of Rio de Janeiro, and the wonders of the Amazon rain forest.

Every year, I return from the Rotary convention inspired to do more, to give more in Rotary service throughout the year. Register today at www.riconvention.org. I look forward to seeing you in São Paulo!

Gary C.K. HuangPresident 2014-15

NOTICE BOARD

Humour

A teacher is teaching a class and she sees that Johnny isn’t pay-ing attention, so she asks him, “If there are three ducks sitting on a fence, and you shoot one, how many are left?” Johnny says, “None.” The teacher asks, “Why?” Johnny says, “Because the shot scared them all off.” The teacher says, “No, two, but I like how you’re thinking.” Johnny asks the teacher, “If you see three women walking out of an ice cream parlor, one is licking her ice cream, one is sucking her ice cream, and one is biting her ice cream, which one is married?” The teacher says, “The one sucking her ice cream.” Johnny says, “No, the one with the wedding ring, but I like how you’re thinking!”
