Rotary International Comments:

Did you know, Itzhak Perlman, at age three, Perlman heard a concert on the radio and asked his father for a violin. Months later, he contracted polio and lost the use of his legs. He walks with crutches and performs while seated. Throughout his career, he’s maintained a rigorous travel schedule, appearing at venues far beyond the concert halls of the United States and Western Europe. In 1987, he joined a groundbreaking tour with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra in Hungary and Poland, and three years later
performed in the orchestra‚Äôs first concert in the Soviet Union. He toured China and India in 1994. Born in Tel Aviv in 1945, Perlman debuted at Carnegie Hall at age 17. Today, he‚Äôs one of the world‚Äôs best known and most honored classical musicians, often described as a ‚Äúsuperstar.‚  He‚Äôs garnered four Emmy Awards and 15 Grammy Awards, and a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008.

QUIP OF THE WEEK:

The worst thing about Halloween is, of course, candy corn. Candy corn is the only candy in the history of America that’s never been advertised. And there’s a reason — all of the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911.

Rotary International Comments:

Kalyan Banerjee, a member of the Rotary Club of Vapi, Gujarat, India, since 1972, is the 2011-12 president-nominee.

Are you on Facebook yet? Keep in mind that social networking works differently from traditional marketing, so if you decide to dive in, be open to the possibilities. ‚ÄúYou don‚Äôt know how it can expand and connect you,‚  Schinkel says. ‚ÄúYou can‚Äôt predict exactly how it‚Äôs going to work.‚ 

If you register on Facebook, put in the word ‚ÄúRotary‚  at the search window and be prepared to be amazed at the number of times it shows up.

To get the most out of it, Howat, a member of the Rotary Club of North Whidbey Island Sunrise, Wash., has this advice: ‚ÄúSocial networking is never about you. It is about what you can do for other people,‚  he says. ‚ÄúIt‚Äôs almost as if it‚Äôs along the [lines of] Service Above Self.‚
