LET ME KNOW WHAT THE PROGRAMS ARE ASAP SO I CAN PUBLISH IN THE NEWSLETTER!

RI President Sakuji Tanaka (right) served as grand marshal in Evanston's Independence Day parade. With him are RI General Secretary John Hewko and his wife, Marga.

I was honored to have been the grand marshal of the Fourth of July parade in Evanston, Illinois, USA. Being in the parade was a great opportunity to represent Rotary and the work of Rotarians — especially our polio eradication efforts.

Despite the record heat, I was surprised at the number of people who lined the streets well in advance of the parade in order get a place along the route. It was an impressive display of patriotism. I was happy to have been a part of this event, and I hope that future Rotary International presidents participate in this parade.

R.I. President Sakuji Tanaka

AN ORGANIZATION OF BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL LEADERS... UNITED WORLDWIDE ... 1.2 MILLION PEOPLE... MORE THAN 200 COUNTRIES AND GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS ... PROVIDING HUMANITARIAN SERVICE... BUILDING GOODWILL AND PEACE IN THE WORLD

By Sakuji Tanaka, R.I. President

It’s a great honor to serve as your 2012-13 RI president and represent you in Rotary. Since joining this organization in 1975, it has changed my life and given me more than I ever anticipated.

I look forward to sharing some of that with you.Through Rotary, I learned the purpose of my life wasn’t to earn more, but to help others. Through our service, we learn that the problems that may seem large to us are really very small.

I also learned that through Rotary, we could build peace. As part of the first generation to grow up in Japan after World War II, I understand the importance of peace and its connection to our well-being.
