ABCs OF ROTARY (Cliff Dochterman)

Cliff Dochterman
RI President, 1992-93

Vocational Service

Vocational Service is the Second Avenue of Service. No aspect of Rotary is more closely related to each member than a personal commitment to represent one's vocation or occupation to fellow Rotarians and to exemplify the characteristics of high ethical standards and the dignity of work.

Programs of vocational service are those which seek to improve business relations while improving the quality of trades, industry, commerce and the professions. Rotarians understand that each person makes a valuable contribution to a better society through daily activities in a business or profession.

Vocational Service is frequently demonstrated by offering young people career guidance, occupational information and assistance in making vocational choices. Some clubs sponsor high school career conferences. Many recognize the dignity of employment by honoring exemplary service of individuals working in their communities. The 4-Way Test and other ethical and laudable business philosophies are often promoted among young people entering the world of work. Vocational talks and discussion of business issues are also typical vocational service programs at most clubs.

Regardless of the ways that Vocational Service is expressed, it is the banner by which Rotarians "recognize the worthiness of all useful occupations" and demonstrate a commitment to "high ethical standards in all businesses and professions." That's why the Second Avenue of Service is fundamental to every Rotary club.

SOME FIRST-GRADE FUN!

SPEAKER - Tristram Stuart

Western countries throw out nearly half of their food, not because it’s inedible -- but because it doesn’t look appealing.

Tristram Stuart delves into the shocking data of wasted food, calling for a more responsible use of global resources.

Tristram Stuart sounds the warning bell on global food waste, calling for us to change the systems whereby large quantities of produce and other foods end up in trash heaps.

Western countries waste up to half of their food. This is an injustice Tristram Stuart has dedicated his career to fixing.

In his newest book, Waste: Uncovering the Global Food Scandal, Tristram shows how changing the systems that result in food waste could be one of the simplest ways to reduce pressure on the environment.

The winner of the international environmental award The Sophie Prize in 2011, Tristram is the founder of Feeding the 5000, a consciousness raising campaign where 5000 members of the public are given a free lunch using only ingredients that otherwise would have been wasted. Held in Trafalgar Square in 2009 and 2011, the event has also been held internationally.

In addition, Tristram works with a range of NGOs, governments, and private enterprises to tackle the global food waste scandal.

"Waste is certainly one of the most important environmental books to come out in years. But it is more than that. It is an indictment of our consumer culture that should make us all feel deeply ashamed. "

Exchange of Club Banners

One of the colourful traditions of many Rotary clubs is the exchange of small banners, flags or pennants. Rotarians travelling to distant locations often take banners to exchange at "make-up" meetings as a token of friendship. Many clubs use the decorative banners they have received for attractive displays at club meetings and district events.

The Rotary International board recognized the growing popularity of the banner exchange back in 1959 and suggested that those clubs which participate in such exchanges give careful thought to the design of their banners in order that they be distinctive and expressive of the community and country of which the club is a part. It is recommended that banners include pictures, slogans or designs which portray the territorial area of the club.

The board was also mindful of the financial burden such exchanges may impose upon some clubs, especially in popular areas where many visitors make up and request to exchange. In all instances, clubs are cautioned to exercise discretion and moderation in the exchange of banners in order that the financial obligations do not interfere with the basic service activities of the club.

Exchanging club banners is a very pleasant custom, especially when a creative and artistic banner tells an interesting story of community pride. The exchange of banners is a significant tradition of Rotary and serves as a tangible symbol of our international fellowship.

SPEAKER - Older people are happier - Laura Carstensen

In the 20th century we added an unprecedented number of years to our lifespans, but is the quality of life as good? Surprisingly, yes! At TEDxWomen psychologist Laura Carstensen shows research that demonstrates that as people get older they become happier, more content, and have a more positive outlook on the world.

Laura Carstensen is the director of the Stanford Center on Longevity, and has extensively studied the effects on wellbeing of extended lifetimes.

Dr. Carstensen is Professor of Psychology and Public Policy at Stanford University, where she is the founding director of the Stanford Center on Longevity, which explores innovative ways to solve the problems of people over 50 and improve the well-being of people of all ages. She is best known in academia for socioemotional selectivity theory, a life-span theory of motivation. She is also the author of A Long Bright Future: An Action Plan for a Lifetime of Happiness, Health, and Financial Security—an updated edition will be released in 2011.

THE AMAZING INTELLIGENCE OF CROWS

Writer Joshua Klein is fascinated by crows. After a long amateur study of corvid behavior, he's come up with an elegant machine that may form a new bond between animal and human.

"Klein envisions a new symbiotic relationship between these intelligent birds and the humans that encroach on their habitat. ... Why not turn a longstanding rivalry between man and crow into something that profits both species?"

CONNECTIONS THROUGH THE E-CLUB

This past week, three of our members attended a Rotary meeting of the E-Club of District 9220 and met with a very international group - from South Africa, California, Mauritius, France, New Zealand, and of course, ourselves from the Caribbean. One attendee, Jean Louis from France, has connected with us and has sent a link to his Cool Jazz Band.

Jean Louis - the singer - is a urologist by day and a musician by night. His group has been together for over 10 years, and travel to do charity work - and this renews one's faith in Rotary!

Click this link to hear three pieces, beginning with - Sing Sing Sing. Don't forget - Click your browser's BACK button to return to the meeting.

Jean Louis writes: The Jazz Cool Band (JCB) not only plays in regular Concerts almost every week in Marseille, Lyon and Paris; it has also a very important Humanitarian activity, having played in Charity Concerts all over the World.

The JCB Jazz Cool Band has been travelling in several places around the world in order to help Humanitarian activities:

- 4 trips to Bangkok already in 2003, 2005, 2006 and February 2007 to help Fund- Raising for the Thai Red Cross, Rotary Patumwan in Bangkok, UNICEF, a Children Cardiac Surgery Foundation, the World Wild Fund Association and the Association Française de Bangkok.

- 3 Charity Concerts in 2007 have helped Thai Charity Organisations to raise 100 000 Euros and one ambulance in Bangkok (for Rotary Patumwan and Rajavithy Cardiac Children Surgery Hospital)

- A trip to Faro (Portugal) to help Immigrants of African origins.

- A trip to Thailand was organized in February 2009 all over Thailand for a Rotary Club in Chiang Mai, the Naresuan University in Phitsanulok, the Queen Sirikit Heart Center in Khon Kaen and Hat (an NGO helping Children working in the slums) on March 1rst at the Imperial Queens Park Hotel in Bangkok!

Apart of that, the JCB Band has already done 3 CDs, each time in association with a Charity Foundation:

- “Live at Igor’s” in 2002 with an Association against Cancer,
- “Swinging with the Kids” in 2004 with UNICEF and
- “Jazz, je t’aime” in 2005 with an association for Children Cardiac Surgery in France.
- The JCB latest CD: “Back to Crooner” is going to be released in October 2009 in France!

SPEAKER - SOLVING SOCIAL PROBLEMS WITH A NUDGE

To study big questions such as "What are the measurable effects of corruption?"" Sendhil Mullainathan and his collaborators look at the day-to-day decisions made by real people, running deep-data studies on groups around the world to tease out patterns. Awarded a MacArthur ""genius"" grant in 2002, he has produced and collaborated on a string of research papers that make for a must-read CV -- including a fascinating, if dispiriting, study of the corruption involved in getting a driver's license in India.

Lately he and his team have been studying women who sell fruit and vegetables on the streets in developing countries. They're usually in debt to a moneylender in the market, who takes about half their profits each day as interest. Some of the women have figured a simple way to get out of debt and keep all their profits. But most of the women make a choice every day that keeps them in debt. How would these businesswomen behave, he wondered, if the slate was wiped clean? So he got a grant, paid off their debt, and waits to see what happens next."

ABCs OF ROTARY (Cliff Dochterman)

Cliff Dochterman
RI President, 1992-93

Non-Attendance Rules

The Rotary Club Constitution specifies three conditions under which a Rotarian's membership will automatically be terminated for non-attendance. These circumstances are (a) failure to attend or make up four consecutive club meetings, (b) failure to attend or make up 50 per cent of club meetings each six months, and (c) failure to attend at least 30 per cent of the meetings of one's own club in each six-month period.

Under any of these three cases, a member will lose Rotary membership unless the club board of directors has previously consented to excuse such failure for good and sufficient reason.

To some individuals, these rules may seem unusually rigid. However, being present at club meetings is one of the basic obligations a member accepts upon joining a Rotary club.

The constitutional rules merely emphasize that Rotary is a participatory organization which highly values regular attendance. When a member is absent, the entire club loses the personal association with that member. Being present at a club meeting is considered a vital part of the operation and success of every Rotary club.

For any Rotarian to miss four consecutive meetings, or disregard the other attendance requirements, should be considered tantamount to the submission of one's resignation from the club.

When a club terminates a member for non-attendance, it is simply an acceptance of a resignation and not a punitive action by the club officers. All Rotarians know the consequences of non-attendance, so it clearly becomes a conscious decision by a Rotarian to withdraw from the club when he fails to fulfill the attendance requirements.

SPEAKER - Dean Kamen - a new prosthetic arm (5 minute video)

Inventor Dean Kamen previews the prosthetic arm he’s developing at the request of the US Department of Defense. His quiet commitment to using technology to solve problems -- while honoring the human spirit -- has never been more clear.

Dean Kamen landed in the limelight with the Segway, but he has been innovating since high school, with more than 150 patents under his belt. Recent projects include portable energy and water purification for the developing world, and a prosthetic arm for maimed soldiers.

Dean Kamen is an innovator, but not just of things.

He hopes to revolutionize attitudes, quality of life, awareness.

While an undergraduate, he developed the first portable infusion device, which delivers drug treatments that once required round-the-clock hospital care. And, through his DEKA Research and Development, which he cofounded in 1982, he developed a portable dialysis machine, a vascular stent, and the iBOT -- a motorized wheelchair that climbs stairs (Stephen Colbert took one for a spin).

Yes, he's a college dropout, but he's a huge believer in education, and in 1989 established the nonprofit FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) to inspire teenagers to pursue careers in science.

FIRST sponsors lively annual competitions, where students form teams to create the best robot.

His focus now is on off-grid electricity and water purification for developing countries; another recent project, previewed at TED2007, is a prosthetic arm for maimed soldiers (read an update here).

He's also working on a power source for the wonderful Think car. And, with more funding in the works, we haven't seen the last of the Segway.

"Lots of people talk and dream about changing the world. But inventor Dean Kamen is actually doing it."

HOW GREAT LEADERS INSPIRE ACTION

Simon Sinek has a simple but powerful model for inspirational leadership all starting with a golden circle and the question "Why?" His examples include Apple, Martin Luther King, and the Wright brothers.

In 2009, Simon Sinek released the book "Start With Why" -- a synopsis of the theory he has begun using to teach others how to become effective leaders and inspire change

Beginning as a student in anthropology, Simon Sinek turned his fascination with people into a career of convincing people to do what inspires them. His earliest work was in advertising, moving on to start Sinek Partners in 2002, but he suddenly lost his passion despite earning solid income. Through his struggle to rediscover his excitement about life and work, he made some profound realizations and began his helping his friends and their friends to find their “why” -- at first charging just $100, person by person. Never planning to write a book, he penned Start With Why simply as a way to distribute his message.

Sinek also contributes to several efforts in the non-profit sphere: He works with Count Me In, an organization created to help one million women-run businesses reach a million dollars in revenue by 2012, and serves on the Board of Directors for Danspace Project, which advances art and dance. He writes and comments regularly for several major publications and teaches a graduate-level class in strategic communications at Columbia University.

"I try to find, celebrate and teach leaders how to build platforms

that will inspire others."

HOW TO TIE YOUR SHOES (a 3-minute talk)

Terry Moore found out he'd been tying his shoes the wrong way his whole life.

In the spirit of TED, he takes the stage to share a better way.

************
WHAT IS ROTARY?

If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:

There would be:

57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
8 Africans

52 would be female. 48 would be male.

70 would be non-white. 30 would be white

70 would be non-Christian. 30 would be Christian

89 would be heterosexual. 11 would be homosexual

6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would be from the United States.

80 would live in substandard housing.

70 would be unable to read.

50 would suffer from malnutrition.

1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth

1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education.

1 would own a computer.

When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent. All the more reason to be an active Rotarian who's helping to make a positive difference.

ANOTHER FEEL-GOOD STORY

Here is Rachel's website: http://prettyspecialworld.com/

***********
You are the Best! - from Rachel's website (a note from her mother)

Rachel had been really sick so I took her to the doctor today. She has pneumonia.

We went to the ER and Rachel was seen by a new, young doctor. Even though Rachel was feeling very sick and weak as we left the examining room, she looked at the doctor and said,

“You are a good doctor. The best! Believe it!”

This doctor grasped at her heart and said to Rachel, “Wow! After the day I had today, you just made me feel so wonderful. Thank you. I needed that. You’ll never know.”

Rachel never hesitates to "give" the gift of love by saying something nice. She's a practicing teacher of love.
