With the world championship held in Barcelona
last week we have fundraised for Polio Plus and in the
strategical plan I have made for the next two years I have
proposed to put together our efforts for Polio Plus. In
13/15
the future ITFR wishes to commit itself to
fundraising for the polio eradication campaign of RI.
So far the most important event was the world
championship organised in Salerno, Italy in 2007. News and
information are still available on the event’s web site:
www.rotarytennis.org.
The funds raised with this edition were given to the "Africa
Project" (co-financed by RF and R.C. Salerno, district 2100,
Italy).
The ITFR newsletter is called "Rotary Ace" and
is available on our official web site. Our motto is: "Score an
ace with Rotary … for a winning service".
Recently other tournaments were organised in
Italy (in Turin, Genova, Lecce and Salerno), in Croatia (Zagreb,
Bol, Pozega), India (Solapur), U.K. (Woodbridge), USA (in LA
during the Convention), Brazil (Santos). Over the next week end
and the following we’ll have more tournaments in Turkey
(Istanbul), Bulgaria (Pleven) and Italy (Rome).
More events were and will be organised by ITFR e.g. "Tennis
Day", "Tennis Holyday", Stage & Clinic, vintage tournament
"White & Wood", etc.
