Congratulations to Panipat Midtown and many other clubs who have put up Rotary hoardings around their towns providing excellent visibility to Rotary. Congratulations. 

District Public Relations Grant

We had announced earlier to the Clubs to avail of the District Public Relations Grant. Many of the clubs have responded and have put up excellent show by using the opportunity to make their presence felt in the community and share the good work that Rotary is doing for the benefit of the humanity.  This massive hoarding here has been put up on the National Highway 1 in Panipat by Rotary Club of Panipat Midtown. 

The time is running out. You have now just 10 more days to finish the job and submit the bills urgently.  The designs for the outdoor advertising as approved by the RI have already been sent and circulated and are also available for downloading in coreldraw format which should be given to the vendor for flex production.  The coreldraw file can be amended to include your club's name and contact number.

World Earth Day Greetings

What are you doing to Green Your Home...Your Community!

Last year on the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, the Earth Day Network launched the Billion Acts of Green® campaign from the National Mall in Washington, DC. 

A total of over 100 million Acts of Green have since been logged at billionactsofgreen.org, making this campaign the world’s largest environmental service project. 

Earth Day Network’s goal is to reach 1 billion before the U.N. Conference on Sustainable Development in Rio in 2012.  

Billion Acts of Green rewards simple individual acts AND larger community initiatives that support sustainability and bring us closer to measurably reducing carbon emissions. Participants record their Acts of Green at www.billionactsofgreen.org where they can also send

messages to government officials, sign petitions, and make pledges to live a greener life. 

What counts? Earth Day events, planting trees; cleaning up beaches and parks, community meetings on energy efficiency, sustainability and green economy issues; large-scale light bulb changes and workplace renewable energy retrofits are some examples. Simple gestures like choosing to bike instead of drive may be also recorded.

ABOUT EARTH DAY NETWORK: The first Earth Day, on April 22, 1970, activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life and is widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement. The passage of the landmark Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act and many other groundbreaking environmental laws soon followed. Growing out of the first Earth Day, the Earth Day Network (EDN) works with over 25,000 partners in 192 countries to broaden, diversify and mobilize the environmental movement. More than 1 billion people now participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it the largest civic observance in the world. www.earthday.org, www.billionactsofgreen.org
