In addition, Steve is an active public speaker, giving inspirational and encouraging speeches all across the country. Together with his family, Steve is connected with several charity organizations.

President Bob's Journal | |
This is PGA week. If you are attending the PGA Championship, you can support the Rochester Rotary Sunshine Campus by purchasing your food and beverages at our concession stand. It is located in an area behind the 1st green, near the 11th tee, and along the 13th fairway. The size of the donation which we will receive is directly related to the sales at our stand. So, frequenting our concession stand is another way you can help this week.
Our volunteers are doing a fantastic job operating our stand. The PGA and Levy Premium Foodservice are thrilled with us. Once again, Rotarians are getting the job done. I worked the afternoon shift on Monday, and had so much fun. It is a great experience to volunteer at the PGA Championship. Crowds are huge for practice rounds - much larger than ever before, which is wonderful for the PGA, for Rochester, and for sales. Rotarians are doing a superb job letting customers know that by purchasing food and beverages at our tent, they are supporting the Rochester Rotary Sunshine Campus. Numerous customers are making individual donations, which go directly to the Sunshine Campus. These separate donations are on a pace to send a couple of kids to camp for a whole week next summer.
Volunteering at the PGA also has proved to be a wonderful opportunity to introduce more of our friends to the amazing experience we provide to kids with special needs at Sunshine Camp. We are grateful for the volunteer support we are receiving from Rotarians of the suburban clubs. They have jumped in to help support the Sunshine Campus, which now hosts Camp Haccamo three weeks each August.
I hope to see all of you at the PGA Championship this weekend.

We need your help to achieve our goal for this year. Do you have a business associate or a friend who might benefit from Rochester Rotary through excellent speakers on a variety of topics at the Tuesday Noon Lunch Meeting, business networking meeting with other business leaders or service opportunities such as those at School # 8 and the Sunshine Campus?
Your Membership Committee is undertaking a special campaign for new members-PLUS ONE! We are asking each member to identify and engage one new member! Bring your potential new member to a luncheon or to an upcoming event. Membership Co-Chairs Mary Lewis Consler and Scott Rasmussen are happy to assist you, as are all Membership Committee members.
The proposal process is easy:
- Simply complete a short Membership Proposal Card, which can be found on the Rochester Rotary website under "Club Committees," and submit the card to the Rotary office.
- A Membership Committee member will meet with your candidate to discuss Rochester Rotary and to learn more about the candidate.
- The Membership Committee member will share information with the committee and make a recommendation for Board approval.
Currently Rochester Rotary is looking for new members in these areas:
- Advertising & Public Relations

Hello District 7120 Rotarians,
Below is a link for a video showing Bill Gates discussing how rotary is working to eradicate polio. To hear what he is talking about concerning polio you can go to the 23 minute time and hear what he said.
