Dear Rotary Club President:

Congratulations on the beginning of a new and hopefully successful year of
Rotary Service as a Club President.  I sincerely hope it is a wonderfully
productive and satisfying experience for you.

The purpose of this correspondence is to announce an upcoming trip to *Port
Harcourt, Nigeria, West Africa* in *October 2016 *to participate in a *
polio immunization exercise*, *attend the 11th Annual West Africa Project
Fair*, and engage in a *hands-on work project.*  Attached is detailed trip
information.  Please feel free to share this information with the Rotarians
in your club *as soon as possible* as we have a limited amount of space and
expect this trip to be filled in the next week or two.

Trip Dates:
*October 18 – 26, 2016 *Travel to:
*Port Harcourt, Nigeria, West Africa *Per Person Price:              *$1,629,
double occupancy*

*Program includes:*  Hotel accommodations, transfers, most meals, polio
immunization exercise, hands-on community service field work, West Africa
Project Fair registration, special Rotary and fellowship events,
sightseeing, etc.

In October 2016, North American Rotarians will travel to *Port Harcourt,
Nigeria,* for a life changing experience.   Have you ever heard a Rotarian
speak about their personal experience participating in a polio eradication
exercise, a cleft lip/cleft palate mission, or work on a humanitarian
grant?  These trips have a profound effect upon the individual.  For those
of you who have gone on one of these trips you know, and for those of you
who have yet to enjoy this experience, you should.

The experiences you have stay with you forever.  You get up early in the
morning, travel with local Rotarians to a village, health clinic or
impoverished neighborhood, and for the next few hours, you change.  Small
children come up to you to say thank you.  Mothers and fathers smile at you
knowing that you are giving their child a chance for a better life.  You
meet with the leaders in the village to learn of their needs and their
hopes.  It is hot; it is dusty; it makes you uncomfortable; it is
exquisite.

The West Africa Project Fair is endorsed by Rotary’s Reach in Africa
Committee (ROTA), who is trying to generate greater connectivity between
the African and North American Rotarians to generate greater support of the
projects of Africa.  Your involvement, or your club’s involvement, in this
Fair would not only provide an opportunity for project support, it would
also help your members to grow and to understand the benefits of being a
Rotarian.  Involvement in Rotary gives the ordinary Rotarian extraordinary
opportunities to do things that they could never do anywhere else.  This
trip is just such an experience.

Even if you are unable to join us this year, please feel free to *announce
this program in your club over the next month*, get it on websites, and get
it in newsletters.  Encourage your members to participate – help Rotary
Serve Humanity.

Let us know if you have any questions.   We hope to hear from you soon.
