Message from RI President
Dear fellow Rotarians,
The year 2012 is nearly gone, and we have
reached the midpoint of this Rotary year. It is
time to take stock of the goals we have set for
ourselves, and the progress we have made
toward them. Are we on track to achieve what
we set out to accomplish?
I am a great believer in the importance of
setting goals that are high but realistic. A
worthwhile goal should be within your reach
Rtn Sakuji Tanaka but still require you to stretch. Opening
yourself to a new challenge helps you find out what you are really
capable of – which may well be more than you think.
On 1 July, we will embark on our newest challenge as an organization:
the full rollout of the Future Vision Plan, the new grant model for our
Rotary Foundation. We in Rotary have set for ourselves a simple and
vital goal: to do the most good we can with all the resources we have.
To do this, we will be working to reduce overhead; to improve
accountability, transparency, and local control; and to focus our
service more intensely in the areas where we know we can have the
most impact.
With Future Vision, we will implement a simplified grant structure
that will encourage Rotarians to serve in our six areas of focus: peace
and conflict prevention/resolution, disease prevention and treatment,
water and sanitation, maternal and child health, basic education and
literacy, and economic and community development. These are areas
in which Rotarians around the world have already been working for
many years, and in which we have experience and a track record of
project sustainability.
Sustainability will be a major focus under Future Vision, as we shift
our emphasis to long-term, high-impact projects. Simply put, a
sustainable project is one that will continue to benefit the world even
after Rotary funding ends. The ultimate example of a sustainable
project, of course, is polio eradication: When polio is gone, the good
that we have done will continue forever, centuries after the last polio
vaccine is given. And the lessons we have learned from PolioPlus are
universal. A truly sustainable project requires an emphasis on planning
and cooperation, a long-term perspective, and an approach that
considers community members as partners in our service, not passive
recipients.
Embracing Future Vision means embracing a more ambitious view of
Rotary – one in which we work to address major issues in a serious,
lasting way. It is a new way of thinking about our service, and an
approach that I believe will lead to a Foundation more capable than
ever of Doing Good in the World.

Message from President, Rotary Peenya
Dear Peenyans,
Every new beginning is embarked
upon with a lot of effort, enthusiasm
and energy. The Pandith Deendayal
Upadhya Dialysis Centre is one such
endeavor that has, yet again,
brought Rotary Bangalore Peenya
together as a family. I believe that it is
a wonderful achievement and that

we shall act with consistency,
credibility and continuity to further this cause and help
the needy in their fight against the very rampant and fatal
kidney disease.
December is the Family Month. Rotary Bangalore
Peenya has grown to be a very well knit family, together,
laughing and talking, loving, understanding and
forgiving, not looking at the past but only at the future. As
the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole
world in which we live. We are lucky to don the
responsibility to be able to serve the society and make a
difference.
Jaipur Foot Camp, the pride of our club, is fast
approaching. Let us all gear up to help the disabled to
step foot into the new year with brighter opportunities
for an able and awaiting future.
I congratulate RBP and wish that we keep up the good
work.
Regards.

In addition to recognizing the importance of families,
Involving family in Rotary not only makes the family unit
