Dear Rotaract friends, As we're approaching the month of March, a special month for all of the members of the Rotary International family, we are on the verge of celebrating the 108th birthday of Rotary International as well as the 45th anniversary of Rotaract. I truly believe that we all have the same goal in mind : To give help to those in need, and to work together in order to create a better environment for us, and everyone else around us. I wish all the Rotaract members a whole lot of creative and productive ideas, a lot of will and happiness so that we could do our best while working and creating future projects and actions. I would also like to wish everyone a lot of success in our forthcoming work, good and hardworking new members while we enjoy the most beautiful season of the year. Yours in Rotaract,

February 2013.

For several years now the Local Authorities have

organized a Bazar at the end of the year. Once

again we took this opportunity to showcase our-

selves among other NGOs active and working in

Pančevo. We have long thought our work and

the Rotary name stigmatized by prejudice in our

community and we are all to eager to show

these prejudice wrong. This year we offered the

community our lovely New Year’s Cards as a

way of gathering some funds for future projects,

but the more important goal was handing out

our newsletters. This is how we managed to

reach many of our neighbors, who are now well

acquainted with our work and service to the

community.

Goal: Spreading the awareness about owners not cleaning up after their

dogs. People had a very positive reaction to seeing RTC Beograd - Čukarica

members and were inquisitive about what we were trying to achieve.

Members of RTC Beograd Čukarica gathered in downtown Belgrade, and again, decided to

spread awareness about people not cleaning up after their pets (mostly dogs). The way we

decided to get attention of the passers-by was putting a card in a dog pie with a tacky mes-

sage and by marking the object with a chalk. The dirtiest street got the award of the

"Sweetest Street of Belgrade", the Palmoticeva street
