ROTARY CANNES-LE CANET DISTRICT 1730 CANNES, FRANCE on 27 August 2005 at 13:20 hours The above is a (reduced) reproduction of the SALUTE Certificate which will be sent to the club that we toast today. | SALUTE BACKGROUND | The International Toast of Fellowship is a District-wide initiative towards promoting friendship and goodwill with other clubs worldwide; in line with carrying out the District theme of “Rotary—Bridging the World”. It is the brainchild of PP Donald “Don” Masson of RC Olongapo—which has been saluting clubs since 1993. RCB recognizes the worthiness of this “salute” program and intends to make it a continuing RCB activity. | OUR 2ND SALUTE SUBJECT | Today, we salute the Rotary Club of Cannes-Le Canet of District 1730, of Cannes, France. Despite its small number of just twenty-two, it is composed of very enthusiastic and dynamic members. The City Cannes is located in the Riviera Cote d’Azur (Blue Sky Coast)—in the South of France, where the worldrenowned Cannes Film Festival is held annually. Headed by club President Ingemar Crona, Sec. Gerard Audineau reports that the club—through its IPP Jean Pierre Astruc, has signified an intent to rally the clubs in their Rotary District to support our RCB intitiatives towards public service. We salute this club today and look forward to joint endeavors with them. MABUHAY (long live), Rotary Cannes-Le Canet! SALUTES HISTORY
