  Subject: A huge favor to ask of you!

  A huge favor to ask of you. Nirali Naik, an 18-month old baby in 
  Chicago is in dire need of a bone marrow transplant from an Indian. I don't have to 
  tell you that the bone marrow registry has abyssmally low number of South Asian 
  registrants. 

  Nirali happens to be the grand-daughter of Larsen & Toubro's CEO, 
  Mr. A.M. Naik, a close family friend. 

  I am writing to you to publcize her desperate need for a match. 
  Could you please send this note out to all your email lists? Due to her current condition, 
  please consider  this request URGENT. 

  For more information about Nirali, please visit -

  Thank you, 

  Dr.S.S. Badrinath

  Rotary-UN Day is 4 November 

  By Vukoni Lupa-Lasaga
  Rotary International News 

  Rotary International's representatives to the United Nations in New 
  York have announced 4 November as the date for the 2006 Rotary-UN 
  Day. 

  The annual event at UN headquarters in New York City helps educate 
  Rotarians, their friends, and their families about the complementary 
  roles the UN and Rotary play in supporting humanitarian initiatives 
  and promoting international understanding and peace. 

  This year, presentations and panel discussions will address 
  humanitarian issues such as hunger, water, health, and literacy 
  based on the theme "The Unfinished Business of Rotary." RI leaders, 
  UN officials, representatives from UN-affiliated nongovernmental 
  organizations, and other invited guests will be among featured 
  speakers at the event. 

  For the third consecutive year, there will be a separate program for 
  Interact, Youth Exchange students, and other attendees of high 
  school age. 

  Attendees may also reserve tickets for a UN tour and combine their 
  celebration of the Rotary-UN Day with a visit to New York's many 
  cultural and tourist activities, such as Broadway shows. 

  Seating at the event is limited, so participants are advised to send 
  their completed application forms to the registrar by 21 October. 
  Due to UN security requirements, on-site registration is not 
  available. 

  Read more details and find registration forms. Questions may be 
  directed to Brad Jenkins, RI alternate representative to the UN in 
  New York (phone: 908-766-4790; e-mail: bradjenkins at att.net).
