It has since been translated into more than 100 languages and is used by organizations and individuals throughout the world. 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Classification Principle Rotary allows only a specific number of individual members in any vocation to belong to an individual club, thereby promoting a broad base of ideas and respect for each vocation. The current membership approves each individual who might wish to join a Rotary club.

Today, endemic wild poliovirus has been eliminated from all but four countries (Afghanistan, India, Nigeria and Pakistan) in the world, and just 945 cases were reported worldwide in August 2008. Millions more were protected by vaccination. Currently, the global funding gap for 2008-09 stands at US$ 490 million.
