<b>Campaigning Prohibited </b><br />
<br />
One of the interesting bylaws of Rotary International provides that "no Rotarian shall campaign, canvass or electioneer for elective position in Rotary International." This provision includes the office of district governor, Rotary International director, RI president and various elected committees. The Rotary policy prohibits the circulation of brochures, literature or letters by a candidate or by anyone on behalf of such a candidate.<br />
<br />
After a Rotarian has indicated his intention to be a candidate for one of the elective Rotary offices, he must refrain from speaking engagements, appearances or publicity which could reasonably be construed as furthering his candidacy. The only information whic may be sent to clubs relating to canddidates for an elective position is that officially distributed by the general secretary of RI.<br />
<br />
A Rotarian who becomes a candidate for an elective position, such as district governor or RI director, must avoid any action which would be interpreted as giving him an unfair advantage over other candidates. Failure to comply with these provisions prohibiting campaigning could result in the disqualification of the candidate.<br />
<br />
In Rotary, it is believed that a Rotarian's record of service and qualifications for office stand on their own and do not require publicity or special promotion.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>JOURNEY ACROSS AUSTRALIA - on a lawn mower</b></i></span><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
Craig Alford planned to ride a push bicycle across Australia to raise money for charity, but he hopped on his souped up <a href="http://www.ridetotheotherside.org.au/the-machine">Hustler Super</a> lawnmower instead.<br />
<br />
“This is so much more rewarding,” he said upon his arrival at Sydney Olympic Park on Saturday, the last of his <a href="http://www.ridetotheotherside.org.au/pdf/the-plans-for-ride-2014.pdf">2014 trip</a>, bringing his total kilometers traveled to about 2,500. “And a bit easier on the body.”<br />
<br />
Alford, a member of the Rotary Club of Armadale and assistant
governor of District 9465 in Western Australia, sells lawnmowers and
other equipment at his business. He made his grand entrance by cruising
past thousands of Rotarians on the main drag at Sydney Olympic Park.
Then he threw down a couple of spins on the mower to get the crowd
pumped up — and to open up some wallets. <a href="http://www.ridetotheotherside.org.au/about-the-ride">He’s riding</a>
for mental health research, prostate cancer research, and polio
eradication. Alford hopes to raise $1 million Australian dollars over 7
years, traveling some 15,000 kilometers in the process. He’s raised just
under $200,000 Australian dollars so far.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

“You come around the corner and see the expression on people’s faces of amazement,” he says.<br />
<br />
His journey this year started in Adelaide then went up to Melbourne,
on to Tasmania, back to Melbourne to Canberra, and over to Sydney. He’s
averaging 200 kilometers a day. Along the way, he’s collecting all sorts
of interesting stories.<br />
<br />
“One lady had six dollars to her name,” he says, “and gave it to us as a donation because her daughter suffers from depression.”<br />
<br />
Others just appreciate the original idea, though they should probably
appreciate the execution too. Riding a lawnmower across Australia is a
complicated, bureaucratic activity. For starters, he’s not allowed to
cut any lawns. Australia won’t allow you to drive a vehicle with blades
on roads. Secondly, he needs permits to ride in some Australian states.<br />
<br />
“If you’re thinking of riding a lawn mower around anywhere, think
hard before you do it because it’s a lot of work,” he adds. “But it’s a
great adventure.”<br />
<br />
Alford is accompanied on his rides by a support staff of 8-11 people,
all Rotarians. So if you see him, give him a wave and a donation. If
you’ve seen him in the past, share your stories in the comments field.<br />

<i><b><span style="color: blue;">THE ROTARY FOUNDATION'S BEGINNINGS </span></b></i><br />
<br />
Some magnificent projects grow from very small seeds. The Rotary Foundation had that sort of modest beginning.<br />
<br />
In 1917, RI President Arch Klumph told the delegates to the Atlanta Convention that "it seems eminently proper that we should accept endowments for the purpose of doing good in the world." The response was polite and favorable, but the fund was slow to materialize. A year later, the "Rotary Endowment Fund," as it was first labeled, received its first contribution of $26.50 from the Rotary Club of Kansas City, which was the balance of the Kansas City Convention account following the 1918 annual meeting.<br />
<br />
Additional small amounts were annually contributed, but after si years, it is reported that the endowment fund had only reached $700. A decade later, The Rotary Foundation was formally established at the 1928 Minneapolis Convention. In the next four years, the Foundation fund grew to $50,000. In 1937, a $2 million goal was announced for The Rotary Foundation, but these plans were cut short and abandoned with the outbreak of World War II.<br />
<br />
In 1947, upon the death of Paul Harris, a new era opened for The Rotary Foundation, as memorial gifts poured in to honor the founder of Rotary. From that time, The Rotary Foundation has been achieving its noble objective of furthering "understanding and friendly relations between peoples of different nations."<br />
<br />
By 1954, the Foundation received for the first time a half million dollars in contributions in a single year, and in 1965, a million dollars was received.<br />
<br />
It is staggering to imagine that from those humble beginnings, The Rotary Foundation is now receiving more than $45 million each year for educational and humanitarian work around the world.<br />

RI President-elect Gary C.K. Huang chose Light Up Rotary as his theme for 2014-15. Huang was inspired by the teachings of Chinese philosopher Confucius who said: "It is better to light a single candle, than to sit and curse the darkness."<br />
<br />
<br />
"There are so many problems in the world, so many people who need help. Many people say, 'There's nothing I can do.' So they sit there doing nothing. Meanwhile everything stays dark," Huang told the 537 district governors and their spouses and partners who are attending the 2014 International Assembly in San Diego, California.<br />
<br />
"The Rotary way is the Confucius way. The Rotary way is to light a candle. I light one, you light one, 1.2 million Rotarians light one. Together, we light up the world," said Huang, who is a member of the Rotary Club of Taipei in Taiwan.<br />
<br />
After announcing his theme at the opening session of the five-day training meeting, Huang urged club members to Light Up Rotary in the coming year by hosting a Rotary Day in their community and including local Rotaract and Interact members in their service projects.<br />
<br />
"How you Light Up Rotary is up to you," Huang said. "You know where you are strong, you know what your community needs, and you know how you can help."<br />
<br />
Huang also shared his membership development goals, including the need for more women and young adults and his goal to increase membership to a total of 1.3 million members. He asked Rotarians to invite their spouses, family members, and friends to join Rotary.<br />
<br />
"We need to assume leadership for building strong clubs, and that starts with bringing in new members," he said.<br />
<br />
Addressing the status of the fight against polio, Huang noted that with the current momentum Rotary is on track to achieve full polio eradication by 2018.<br />
<br />
"When we eradicate polio — and we will — we will have proved ourselves an organization capable of great things. And we'll be even better equipped for the next challenge we choose to take on. We'll have given the world a gift that will endure forever," he said.<br />
<br />
By continuing to fight against polio, setting an example in local communities, and growing membership, Huang hopes to see Rotary shine brighter than ever.<br />
<br />
"Light Up Rotary is our theme, but it is more than our theme. It is how we live in Rotary, how we think in Rotary, how we feel, how we work," Huang said. "It is how we make a difference — every day, in every club, every district, and every country where we serve."<br />

Textof the video - <br />
<br />
Fellow Rotarians, it is the duty of our Rotary club to add new members from time to time, so that we may not only increase our usefulness and influence as a club, but also to extend the spirit of Rotary throughout the community. Today, I welcome to our ranks and admit to membership Vernella Fuller who comes to us from Jamaica.<br />
_.<br />
Dear Vernella - You have been chosen to membership in the Rotary E-Club of the Caribbean, 7020 because the members believe you to be a leader in your vocation and because you manifest those qualities of head and of heart which fit you to interpret and impart the message of Rotary to those with whom you come in contact.<br />
<br />
You are the representative of your vocation in this club, and any contribution of an educational value pertaining to that vocation must naturally come to us through you. On the other hand, you become the ambassador from us to your classification, and it becomes your duty to carry the ideals and principles of service to your work.<br />
<br />
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and in particular, to encourage and foster:<br />
<br />
<b>First:</b> The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;<br />
<br />
<b>Second:</b> High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying by each Rotarian of his occupation as an opportunity to serve society;<br />
<br />
<b>Third:</b> The application of the ideal of service by every Rotarian to his personal, business and community life.<br />
<br />
<b>Fourth: </b> The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.<br />
<br />
I charge you along with the others in our club to judge yourselves by the Rotary Four-Way Test of the things you think, say or do: <br />
<br />
First - Is it the Truth?<br />
Second - Is it fair to all concerned?<br />
Third - Will it build goodwill and better friendships? <br />
Fourth - Will it be beneficial to all concerned?<br />
<br />
The community will know and judge Rotary through your embodiment of it in character and service, and we accept you as a member because we believe our principles and organization to be safe in your keeping.<br />
<br />
We also expect much from you in help and inspiration, which will enable us to be better Rotarians, and with this hope we most heartily offer you Rotary fellowship.<br />
<br />
Rotary - it's not just another club. It's a way of life. You have been elected to membership because we feel you will fit into this way of life.<br />
<br />
You have been admitted not only to the Rotary E-Club of the Caribbean, 7020, but to a worldwide association; and by virtue of your membership in this club, you will be welcomed into the fellowship of any Rotary club in the world.<br />
<br />
Membership in Rotary is an honor and privilege, and every privilege has its corresponding obligations. <br />
<br />
The honor and privilege of Rotary membership carries with it duties and obligations. You – along with all your fellow members in the Rotary E-Club of the Caribbean, 7020 – will be expected to attend the club's meetings regularly, to perform your share of club service, and to place your knowledge and talents at the disposal of the club in its task of carrying the principles<br />
of Rotary into the daily life of the community. Rotary is like everything else – you get out of it what you put into it. <br />
<br />
Always remember Rotary’s motto – Service Above Self.<br />
<br />
Rotarian Vernella, in the name of the Rotary E-Club of the Caribbean, 7020 I now formally admit you to membership in this club and affix to your lapel our emblem.<br />
<br />
Fellow Rotarians, I commend to you our newest member, Rotarian Vernella who has been loaned the classification of writer and business owner, and charge all of you to welcome her.<br />

Dear President-Elect Amarylis<br />
<br />
You have been chosen by your fellow Rotarians to be the President of the Rotary E-Club of the Caribbean, 7020 for the coming year. <br />
<br />
As President, you are assuming new duties, new obligations and responsibilities and these will make demands on your thoughts, your time and your energy. We are confident that you will carry out your tasks with the same enthusiasm that characterizes all Rotary actions and you are assured of the co-operation from your fellow members.<br />
<br />
Rotary’s object, with its Five Avenues of Service, will be your guide, and I know you will be sustained throughout your year by the fellowship and respect of us all. <br />

<i><b>Disaster Relief Program</b></i><br />
<br />
When great natural tragedy strikes some area of the world, it is quite possible that within hours the Rotary Disaster Relief program may be at work relieving suffering of hapless victims. Modest rotary grants of up to US $5,000 may be immediately provided by the RI president to people left homeless by hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, fires, and other disasters.<br />
<br />
Following an initial grant, the Secretariat will customarily issue a call for help, which could be answered by gifts of money, supplies, food, clothing and household items from Rotarians around the world. Usually the process continues for several months as additional assitance is sent to the appropriate clubs and districts in the disaster area.<br />
<br />
The Rotary Disaster Relief Fund was established by the Trustees of The Rotary Foundation to provide small grants which could be immediately available when a catastrophe strikes. The President of Rotary International may act to meet the immediate needs of food, blankets, shelter and first aid supplies for disaster victims, working through the district governor in the area of the tragedy.<br />
<br />
The Disaster Relief Fund is one of the significant ways that gifts to The Rotary Foundation build goodwill and understanding around the world.<br />
<br />

<br />
Jon Mooallem is the author of "Wild Ones: A Sometimes Dismaying, Weirdly
Reassuring Story About Looking at People Looking at Animals in
America."<br />
<br />
What do we see when we look at wild animals -- do we respond to
human-like traits, or thrill to the idea of their utter unfamiliarity?
Jon Mooallem's book, <i><a href="http://jonmooallem.com/WILD-ONES" target="_blank">Wild Ones</a> ,</i>
examines our relationship with wild animals both familiar and feral,
telling stories of the North American environmental movement from its
unlikely birth, and following three species who've come to symbolize our
complicated relationship with whatever "nature" even means anymore.<br />
<br />
Mooallem
has written about everything from the murder of Hawaiian monk seals, to
Idahoan utopians, to the world’s most famous ventriloquist, to the sad,
secret history of the invention of the high five. A recent piece, "<a href="https://periodic.atavist.com/view/theatavist/story/199" target="_blank">American Hippopotamus</a>," was an Atavist story on, really, a plan in 1910 to jumpstart the hippopotamus ranching industry in America. <br />

<br />
<i>Distinguished guests, ladies, gentlemen and my fellow Rotarians. Sunny greetings to all!<br /><br />As my year as Charter president draws to a close, it is a great privilege to look back and take stock of what we may have accomplished in this, our first Rotary year.<br /><br />My goal as President, and the role of any president in a Rotary Club, has been to ensure that the club functions effectively and is a better club at the end of the year than it may have been at the start of the year. I hope that we can all agree that this is the situation with our own Rotary E-Club of the Caribbean, 7020.<br /><br />I must thank each and every member of our E-Club for your individual dedication and participation in each of our activities.<br /><br />What are our accomplishments?<br /><br />We have gained members – 20 to begin, plus a few additional. We have lost members, and our final tally of members at June 30 is very close to 20??? We have a very recent new member in Lesli, and we will have another outstanding new member in Vernella beginning in July. So, we have managed to maintain a very creditable membership number. We continue to attract interest of other passionate and dedicated Rotarians, and we must be careful to preserve our identity in the best way as we grow.<br /><br />We have worked effectively as a Board – meeting once a month on the second Saturday of each month. The Board members have participated very effectively and consistently in the club activities, and we have made good progress.</i><br />
<ul>
<li><i> We have officially partnered with Rotary E-Club of District 9220.</i></li>
<li><i> In our literacy project, we have partnered with RC of Les Cayes in Haiti. </i></li>
<li><i> We have partnered with several clubs in our pen-pal project. </i></li>
<li><i> We have held a joint meeting with Rotary Club of St. Thomas East</i></li>
<li><i> We held a very effective Happy Hour Hangout at the District Conference where five of us were able to meet each other personally. </i></li>
<li><i>We also – and very importantly – have donated over $2000 to The Rotary Foundation! We have been a very effective Rotary Club!</i></li>
</ul>
<i><br />These partnerships and activities have shown us that this outreach to other clubs may be the way of the future for us – extending our reach into the communities that represent District 7020.<br /><br />We have implemented successful projects – most notably The Butterfly Storybook and The International PenPal Project. We have not only worked successfully on this storybook, but we have improved it and taken it to the next level - from a project, to a fund-raiser, and then to an excellent service project where we are able to donate storybooks in three languages to children in our district and beyond. This is an outstanding achievement – and this signature project is one that has made a very significant impact upon our own district and beyond. We will continue to improve this literacy project in future years.<br /><br />The PenPal Project has had a very successful start, thanks to Devorath, and we look forward to promoting this cultural and literacy exchange in the future. Thank you Devorath for all your hard work and your tenacity in making this the success it has become. <br /><br />We have supported the Rotary Foundation through financial contributions. As we grow, we can increase our participation through other programs. Several of our members have earned the Paul Harris Fellowship, and each one is to be congratulated. This recognition demonstrates each member’s significant support for the wonderful work of the Rotary Foundation.</i><br />
<ul>
<li><i>We have educated our members through the weekly posted blog-style meetings. </i></li>
<li><i>We have educated our members through speakers arranged at the Happy Hour Hangouts. </i></li>
<li><i>We have provided fellowship very effectively through the Happy Hour Hangouts.</i></li>
</ul>
<i>To give us a clear direction, this year we tried to follow the goals outlined for each of the awards offered for the year – the DG’s award, the Presidential Citation, and the Zone Public Image Award. And we have achieved honours in each of these programs. </i><br />
<ul>
<li><i>At the District Conference, we were recognized with the Platinum Award, the highest level possible in the district.</i></li>
<li><i>We were honoured by achieving first place in March for Club-of-the-Month</i></li>
<li><i>We received the Zone Public Image award </i></li>
</ul>
<i>This year has been a team effort, and each one of you can be proud of this achievement! <br /><br />We tried to engage all members through the monthly teams – getting members involved in the Happy Hour Hangout planning. I believe that this has been somewhat successful, though there is room for improvement, and these efforts can be enhanced in the future.<br /><br />One goal that has not yet been achieved is the goal to have each member participate in the weekly meetings by recording the Four-Way Test so that we could add that to the weekly blog-style meetings to show participation from each member. That will continue to be an ongoing goal.<br /><br />It is important that I thank individually all our Board members especially, and congratulate you all for helping us get this far so successfully.<br /><br />It is an ongoing challenge to bring in new members and ensure that they become true Rotarians through learning about, and participating in, Rotary life. Thank you to <span style="color: blue;"><b>Camille</b></span> for all your efforts in this area.<br /><br />We have yet to put together a formal passport for membership training, though we are working on that task. <br /><br />We are working and making progress on a program for Member Wellness. Thank you very much to <span style="color: blue;"><b>Lou</b></span> for your enthusiasm and your support from the very beginning.<br /><br />My grateful thanks must go to <span style="color: blue;"><b>Diana</b></span> who has been our most conscientious treasurer as well as a most integral and important part of the Rotary E-Club board. Diana’s enthusiasm, along with her wealth of experience and knowledge, her Rotary network, her passion for Rotary and her hard work have been one of the main reasons for the success of this club over the past year. We salute you, Diana!<br /><br /><span style="color: blue;"><b>Devorath</b></span> has shown outstanding leadership in so many areas, particularly with her ideas and her penpal project. Thank you Devorath. I am so happy that you are part of this club, and I know you will be a huge asset to us as we grow and develop in the coming years.<br /><br /><span style="color: blue;"><b>Paul, </b></span>I must thank you for your friendship and your support through this year. You have always had a supportive word and you have been willing to chat about any idea that may have been mentioned. I know you will continue to be a valuable asset to the club in the next few years.<br /><br /><span style="color: blue;"><b>Wein,</b></span> you have been an excellent support of me as the charter president and I have been grateful for your kind words through the months. As I have mentioned to you before, you can be such an asset to the E-Club – to the global community – because of your ability to travel to so many areas of the world and still represent District 7020. We are so very fortunate to have you as a member of our team! Thank you!<br /><br /><span style="color: blue;"><b>Mioche</b></span>, you are our representative in Haiti. As a new Rotarian, you are still growing into your role within this organization. As we all know, there is so much work to do in Haiti, and you can be the “rock” that holds us strong in that area of our district. We look to you for leadership in this area as we move forward into our second Rotary year.<br /><br /><span style="color: blue;"><b>Anita, </b></span>we look to you for guidance as we move forward, particularly with the challenge that is the Sergeant-at-Arms position. We appreciate your support in Jamaica through the year, and I sincerely hope that you will be able to find more opportunities to help us in your community.<br /><br />Last, but not least, I must thank <span style="color: blue;"><b>Amarylis </b></span>– our president-elect – for your support, your enthusiasm, your zest for life, your knowledge, your ideas, and your abilities that have helped us to reach this point of success at which we stand now. I wish you all the success possible as you move into the leadership of this club, and I offer you my support if and when you feel that you need it. Onward and upward!<br /><br />Finally, I believe that the E-Club infrastructure has been established and has given us an outstanding public image from which we can move forward to the exciting projects that are facing us now. The Jaipur Limb project, which we are discussing, could allow us to have a real humanitarian project where we can impact individual lives on a day-to-day basis and to give someone’s life a meaning that it did not have before. We can truly make a difference. <br /><br />I am reminded of the tag line I have at the foot of my Rotary emails:</i><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"You can’t live a perfect day until you do something for someone who will never be able to repay you." </i></blockquote>
<i><br />Working towards humanitarian projects gives us the opportunity not only to change another’s life but also to change our own lives by giving us a true purpose – engaging each one of us so that we can change our own lives for the better in giving that gift of mobility to others.<br /><br />So, as the Rotary year draws to a close, I look forward with a feeling of great optimism for the future. </i><br />
<br />
<i>– As UN Secretary General Kofi Annan stated in 1999</i><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

The Rotary Club of Franklin honored the 2014 winners of the annual Read2Me Essay contest on a recent Wednesday.<br />
<br />
After receiving nearly 100 entries into this year's contest, winners
for each of the three grade divisions were carefully selected by a team
of Rotary members who volunteered as judges.<br />
<br />
Open to all Macon County children in grades 3-8, the annual essay
contest gives children the opportunity to showcase their writing
talents.<br />
<br />
The first and second place winners received a cash prize from the Rotary Club, as did the classroom teachers of the winners.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">The following two essays are printed because of the topic they address.</span><br />

<br />
When most people think of leadership, they may think of church, or
the president, or other types in which the word "leadership" is used in a
positive way. However, in my tale, I am going to tell a story of a way
leadership is used in one of the most negative ways. Bullying.<br />
<br />
My story of leadership comes from a past experience with a certain
girl that I will call for namesake purposes, Sally. Now in the
beginning, Sally was a nice girl. She was very pretty, very smart, the
teachers pet, perfect in every way.<br />
<br />
At first, she was just a sweet
innocent girl, that is, until she realized her power of leading people,
and began to use it. I remember how everyone loved her. She was so
beautiful and popular and nice. All the lunch ladies gave her a little
bit extra food, teachers would come over and randomly hug her, all the
kids wanted her to come to their parties. She was the centre of
attention. And she knew it. And she most certainly liked it. The spot
light was forever on her, and she was making sure that she never stepped
out of it, that way no one could step in it.<br />
<br />
We were friends at first, er, kind of. Well not really. We were nice
to each other sometimes, but others, she would bully me, I would tattle
(keep in mind I this was in the grades kindergarten - 5th grade) on her
and she would get in trouble. Of course this, leaded to visits for both
of us, separate and together, with the schools counselor. But of course
since she was so sweet and perfect, she could talk her way out of it and
fake the biggest smile and the sweetest apology. I was left to the dust
and many, oh so many parent conferences. I didn't like Sally, and Sally
obviously didn't like me.<br />
<br />
Now to the part about leadership. Little Miss Perfect had her own
little army of wanna-be girls that loved her all too much. They talked
like her, walked like her, dressed like her, did anything that they
possibly could do to have any chance of her approving of them more then
any of the other girls. With this little army of fake Sally's, She
ultimately ruled the school. Or at least the grade that we were in. She
sent her army to pick on those she didn't like. One of them being,
unfortunately me. Sally would tell them to not play with me and say that
they were not allowed to be my friend. If they talked to me in a nice
way, Sally would automatically drop them like they were hot. Thankfully,
I was the bigger person and wouldn't let her get above me. However bad
she hurt me, I wouldn't let her see.<br />
<br />
As we aged on in school, sally lost a little bit of power. Although,
she did not lose it all. Leading kids to bully and pick on others. It
was such a shame for someone like her to waste all of her precious power
on bringing people down. Little Miss Perfect, most popular,
cheerleader, bully, yet still perfect to almost every boy and girl in
school... Sound familiar? She was the perfect stereotypical mean girl,
like the ones in the books and movies.<br />
<br />
I thought if I saw her less, the problem would get easier, right?
Wrong. She began doing everything in her power to lead people to take me
down. She started rumors that could result in social suicide otherwise,
calling me names as I walked by, starting gossip, and all possible
forms of drama with me, dirty looks, telling people that I was "trying
to steal her boyfriend away", and so much more. All this time I have
tried my very hardest to remain positive. But sometimes, I can't take it
anymore. I wish I could tell her everything I think of her, but I know
that would only result in more drama between us.<br />
<br />
During this whole
experience, I've just kept wondering; Why me? Out of all the girls and
boys in our school, why did she make me her biggest target? I never
quite understood this, and I still ponder it today. Why me? I never
wanted to have any of this. Of course, I feel a bit bad for the girl.
She could have used her power over people in a good way. If only she
could have started a recycling program, fundraiser, anything other then
causing people to hurt. The worse part about it, is that she could have
so easily don it. Leadership is a very powerful thing. Even though this
story isn't on a mass scale compared to other forms of leadership, it
still made a difference in my life. And that is, after all, the one that
I am living. But however, when people like her try to hurt me, I just
remember this: Only people that are below you can bring you down.<br />

<br />
<b>Leaders and Bullies – Be the Bigger Person</b><br />
<b><i></i></b><br />
<div class="img_caption right" style="float: right; width: 229px;">
<b><i><img alt="Genevieve Elle Maddox" border="0" class="caption" src="http://www.maconnews.com/images/stories/2014/0424/read2meessaywinners6.jpg" height="300" style="border: 0px; float: right;" title="Genevieve Elle Maddox" width="229" /></i></b><br />

<b><i> </i></b>
<br />
Hi I am Genevieve and I am here to teach and tell you how to be the bigger person.<br />
<br />
<b>Leadership</b><br />
Being the bigger person is a huge part of being a leader. You have to
set the example for others. Value your friends and peers so that you
don't start a rivalry. If you want to value a good friendship it all has
to do with trust. Once you have trust, don't break it. If you do there
will be many consequences and you might not be buddies with them ever
again! Trust is all about respect and valuing others. For example, if a
bully knocks down someone's books in the hall, help them pick up their
books and keep going with your day. Just that simple effort could change
somebody's life. And don;t forget, being a good leader feels good too.<br />
<br />
<b>What to do when being bullied</b><br />
Lots of people are scared of bullies and don't know that to do when
being picked on. Well when you're bullied, here are a few simple ideas:<br />
<ol>
<li>Ask them to stop nicely. If that does not work then try ...</li>
<li>Try simply using the word "So". I learned this when I was really young. Try it.
<ul>
<li>Bully: "Your hair is ugly." You: "So."</li>
<li>A simple "so" isn't being mean or starting a fight or making fun of
them. It just takes their power away. You never would want to drop to
their level right?</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Call over a teacher. Then they will stop unless they are just looking for trouble.</li>
</ol>
<b>Standing up to a bully</b><br />
If you can conserve enough courage then try standing up to a bully
right then and there. Act with self esteem but not cockiness. Act sweet
and be kind and be the bigger person. But sometimes someone will stand
up for you. I remember a time in first grade when I was bullied because I
had long hair. It made me feel bad and that I was being bullied in
first grade. I was so young but then a girl stood up for me and I looked
at her with a whole new perspective. But this just shows there are good
hearts, thoughts, and people. It also shows that a couple of sentences
can change a whole person's life.<br />
<br />
<b>Watch Your Actions</b><br />
So if you have ever been bullied, then you know it feels bad - right?
What if you were the bully? What if you didn't know? A way to keep that
from happening is to watch how you talk, move and act towards others.
But most of all, watch your words. Just one word can change a person;s
entire life. Stand up to bullies by not being a bully.<br />
<br />
<b>Different Types of Bullying</b><br />
There are different types of bullying. One form that has become more
common deals with food allergies. Yep, you heard me, food allergies. Why
would you bully someone with food allergies? There is no good reason.
And now it's becoming dangerous. Bullies have been putting food that
people are allergic to on or near them. This can cause very bad
illnesses or even death. But as a leader, we can turn this around. We
can be the bigger person.<br />
<br />
<b>Be a Bigger Person... Be a Better You!</b><br />

<br />
During Friday's world record-breaking Sydney Harbour bridge climb, Rotary members raised enough money to protect 240,000 kids from polio.<br />
<br />
<br />
Despite the physically grueling four-hour trek up and down the bridge's storied steel arches, the 340 participants kept their good spirits and stood side-by-side waving 278 flags.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i>Above - Rotary members climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge and break the world record for most flags flown.</i></span><br />
<br />
"When the helicopters were going around, you just felt like one great big nation," says Graeme Davies, district governor of the Rotary Club of Kincumber in Australia.<br />
<br />
The massive turnout eclipsed Oprah Winfrey's world-record climb in 2011 when she summited the bridge alongside 315 of her most ardent fans. But for Rotary members, the record paled in comparison to the experience and the opportunity to take a step closer to ending polio forever. The event raised 110,000 Australian dollars (US$102,300).<br />
<br />
"It made me even prouder to be a Rotarian," said John Avakian from Healdsburg, California, USA. "It was an incredible experience of tremendous camaraderie."<br />
<br />
Rotary members cheered for each of the 26 groups as they made way through the lobby to the entrance of the bridge climb. Cloud cover hid the sun for most of the morning, but light broke through briefly as the climbers unfurled their flags, which had been tucked into their sleeves during the ascent. Helicopters circled overhead from a variety of local Sydney news stations. Climbers cheered, danced, and even broke into the "Wave" from 400 feet above ground.<br />
<br />
"I think that's exactly what Rotary needs," said Nate Harimoto of Thousand Oaks, California, "a show of force from all around the world."<br />
<br />
Climbers from Taiwan, Australia, China, Japan, United States, and dozens of other countries and regions supported each other during the event. They watched each other's backs, literally and figuratively, helping to steer climbers' heads away from hanging steel beams. For a day, their commitment to help others also became a commitment to help each other. And in the process, they raised enough money to show the world how committed they are to polio eradication.<br />
<br />
For Leilani Ross of Queensland, however, the climb was also about closing an important family chapter. She had long wanted to climb the bridge with her father, but didn't get the chance before he died a few years ago.<br />
<br />
"The friendliness is just wonderful," Ross said. "Everyone is very welcoming."<br />
<br />
Cheryl Drozdowicz, a former Youth Exchange student from Wisconsin, USA, who stayed with Ross 35 years ago, watched her go up. After the convention, Drozdowicz will travel back to Queensland for the first time since her program all those years ago.<br />
<br />
"I always feel like a piece of my heart is still there," Drozdowicz said.<br />
<br />
Fondly known as the "Coat Hanger," the bridge officially opened in 1932. The bridge is also referred to as the "Iron Lung" because it employed so many Australians during the Great Depression. Tourists began climbing the bridge in 1998, which is now considered a tourist must with over 3 million visitors from more than 130 countries in that time.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>MY ROTARY STORY ~ World Interchange Project </b></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"><i>...from Ray Pavlove, long-time Rotarians in Rotary Club of Parry Sound, Ontario, Canada</i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"><br />In October 1976, Rotarian Ken Dobson and I attended the Canadian Rotary Institute in Peterborough, Ontario. One of the sessions dealt with fund raising. <br /><br />An idea that caught our attention was one where a Rotary Club sent a $10.00 cheque to one hundred Rotary clubs around the world asking them to send back an item of interest from their country. All items received were then auctioned off at a gala promoting world understanding. Not only did they receive interesting items at a far greater value than $10.00, most Rotary Clubs returned the $10.00 cheque. <br /><br />Ken and I discussed the idea and felt it had an interesting fundraising dimension but more importantly, it had potential to create a greater global awareness and an appreciation for others.<br /><br />At the time, I was teaching Grade 8 at McDougall School, Parry Sound. Ken and I decided that I would approach my principal, Mr. Bud Stevenson, to see about involving my Grade 8 class in contacting one hundred schools around the world inviting them to send us a package of information and items from their country. In lieu of sending them $10.00, the McDougall students would prepare a package of items and information representing the Parry Sound area and send it to them. <br /><br />Mr. Stevenson was initially guarded about the idea, but could see the educational value of student participation in such an international project. He gave the idea his blessing. The project idea was presented to my students the first week of November 1976. They saw it as an interesting and possibly a profitable fundraiser. <br /><br />Identifying one hundred schools from around the world that would be willing to participate was a challenging issue, as no internet access was available in the 1970’s. We decided to contact Rotary International District Governors and Canadian Embassies in all corners of the world to assist us in locating one hundred schools that would be willing to exchange items and information with us. <br /><br />Over the next few weeks, the students had to decide what items and information would best represent the Parry Sound area and our school community, and where would we get the money to send these items to one hundred schools around the world. Twenty-two items were selected and a tabloid was published describing each item. <br /><br />Items included a Canadian flag, winter carnival button, pine cone, snowman (made of paper mache), small jar of maple syrup, poppy, snow machine (made from cardboard), laminated maple leaf, small piece of the Canadian shield, a Canadian nickel, Canadian penny, handcrafted Ojibway artifacts, picture of Bobby Orr, Christmas cards, valentine cards, local newspaper, comics, sales flyers, map of the District of Parry Sound, map of Ontario, booklet of Ontario Canada and samples of student’s work from every grade. <br /><br />The tabloid also included the results of a survey of one hundred families in our school area covering the following topics: Family Size, Family Make Up, Languages Spoken, Leisure Time Activities, Number and Kind of Pets, Type of Work Done, and Number of Years Lived in our Area. <br /><br />The students named the project, The World Interchange Project (WIP). It was a great learning experience and quickly evolved into unexpected situations and activities for the students and community. Our one hundred packages were assembled and ready to go by mid February when we had confirmation for participation from over fifty schools representing every continent. <br /><br />The packages, plastered with the different denominations of Canadian stamps were quickly mailed. By the end of the school year, in June, we had almost reached our goal of one hundred schools and received hundreds of items and information from over forty different countries. Additional packages arrived over the summer and into the next school year. <br /><br />The students decided that the items were too interesting to auction off and would be better appreciated by displaying them in display cases around the school. The students produced an audio visual-slide presentation which described the process of their involvement in WIP. It was used to solicit financial assistance from organizations like the Rotary Club of Parry Sound and the Ontario Ministry of Education. <br /><br />WIP caught the attention of CBC, CTV, Global, and local television stations who came to McDougall school to cover the project. CBC Radio did a national Remembrance Day program on it. The students were invited to attend various educational conferences, schools and Rotary Clubs around the province to share their story of creating a greater global understanding and appreciation among nations. In addition, invitations were received to make presentations at The World Education Fellowship Conference, Detroit, Michigan and the World Congress of Comparative Education Conferences in Ypsilanti, Michigan and Paris France. <br /><br />It was important to me that every student, regardless of ability, was directly involved with speaking with the media and giving presentations. They took turns. The support of our Principal, Bud Stevenson, Al Snider, Director Education, (also a Rotarian) West Parry Sound Board of Education, McDougall School staff, Rotary Club of Parry Sound and the entire school community all contributed to its success. They were kept informed of the progress and developments of WIP. <br /><br />What started out as Rotary fundraiser grew into a huge wonderful international learning experience for the students, our community and me. Interest in the various countries around the world was expanded. Two students, involved with WIP, became Rotary Exchange students. <br /><br />As time went on, we could not meet the demands placed on us regarding requests for information on WIP. It was a situation that got out of control. Teachers from across Canada and parts of United States wanted information on who to contact and how to contact them. Fortunately, The Canadian Organization for Development Education at Canadian International Development Agency came to our rescue and provided funding to reproduce multiple copies of the audio visual-slide presentation and support material, and agreed to act as a “clearing house” to respond to those who requested information. <br /><br />The educational value and the global impact of WIP was recognized with the following significant awards; Rotary International Significant Achievement Award; Project Milestone Award, Columbia Teachers College, New York; Fred L Bartlett Award, Ontario Public School Trustees’ Associational and a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada grant.<br /><br />As a Rotarian, my participation in WIP played a significant role in providing me with the opportunity to attend two Rotary International Conferences (Tokyo and New Orleans), teach in Canberra, Australia for a year, contribute volunteer work with Australian Rotarians in Papua New Guinea and participate in two summer Project Overseas volunteer teaching assignments in Thailand sponsored by the Canadian Teachers’ Federation and CIDA. <br /><br />The World Interchange Project provided a variety of interesting and unplanned opportunities for those touched by it. Looking back it is amazing what had been accomplished in a very short time. This would not have happened if it were not for Ken Dobson and me attending a session on fundraising at the Rotary Canadian Institute in Peterborough Ontario, October 1976. <br /><br />By: Rotarian Ray Pavlove </span><i><b><br /></b></i></span><br />

<i><br /><br />For the rest of the members in the E-Club, I want to welcome you all again – because we are still a very new club – and a welcome is most certainly in order – but I also want to thank you very much for all your support through the year as we have embarked on something very new to Rotary. <br /><br />Finally, I want to announce to you all something of which you may not be aware. This year, D7020 held an Areas of Focus essay competition, and I entered because I could enter. I had a project that I’ve been thinking about for a few years, so I took this opportunity to put it down on paper in the prescribed format, and I submitted it. To my delight, I was named as the co-winner of the essay – and the winner of 2000 Rotary Foundation points.<br /><br />I want to show you all how much you mean to me, and I hope sincerely that you will all become passionate about Rotary and continue to move forward to be the best you can be. </i><br />
<br />
<i><i><b><span style="color: red;">A small gift to each member.</span> </b></i>As an outgoing gift to each member, I have taken this opportunity to share those points with each one of you. Each one of you has been credited with 100 Foundation points to get you a little closer to the goal of becoming a Paul Harris Fellow. I hope this will spur each one of you onward to make The Rotary Foundation the important charity of your life – so that we can continue to do the good works of Rotary around the world! It’s a small gift, and I hope it will be an inspiration to you all. <br /><br />I wish us all very much success in the future, and I challenge each one of you to a very fulfilling life in Rotary service.<br /><br />As our Vice President, Paul, likes to say – <span style="color: blue;">To Rotary Round the World!</span></i><br />

<b>RI's General Secretary </b><br />
<br />
The day-to-day operations of Rotary International's Secretariat are under the supervision of the general secretary, the top professional officer of Rotary. Although the general secretary is responsible to the RI Board of Directors and president, he provides the ongoing management for nearly 500 staff members who compose the Secretariat of Rotary International.<br />
<br />
The general secretary serves as secretary to the RI board, and is also the chief executive and financial officer of The Rotary Foundation, under the supervision of the trustees of the Foundation. He is the secretary of all Rotary committees as well as the Counil on Legislation, regional conferences and the annual Rotary convention.<br />
<br />
The general secretary is appointed by the RI board for a term of more than five years and is usually reelected. Since 1910, seven men have served in that position. Chesley Perry, the original general secretary, served from 1910 to 1942. Others who followed were Phil Lovejoy (1942-52), George Means (1953-72), Harry Stewart (1972-78), Herb Pigman (1979-86), Philip Lindsey (1986-90), and Spencer Robinson, Jr. (1990-93). Herb Pigman was re-elected to the position in 1993. He was succeeded by Geoffrey Large in 1995.<br />

Ed Futa was elected in July of 2000 and served until 2011.<br />
<br />
The current general secretary is John Hewko. <i></i><br />
<br />
From 2004 to 2009, Hewko was vice president for operations and compact development for the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), a U.S. government agency established in 2004 to deliver foreign assistance to the world’s poorest countries. At MCC, he was the principal United States negotiator for foreign assistance agreements to 26 countries in Africa, Asia, South America, the Middle East, and the former Soviet Union. During his tenure, he completed the negotiation of assistance agreements totaling $6.3 billion to 18 countries for infrastructure, agriculture, water and sanitation, health, and education projects.<br />
<br />
Prior to joining MCC, Hewko was an international partner with the law firm Baker & McKenzie, specializing in international corporate transactions in emerging markets. He helped establish the firm’s Moscow office and was the managing partner of its offices in Kyiv and Prague.<br />
<br />
While working in Ukraine in the early 1990s, Hewko assisted the working group that prepared the initial draft of the new Ukrainian post-Soviet constitution and was a charter member of the first Rotary club in Kyiv.<br />
<br />
Hewko has been a public policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, an adjunct professor of law at Georgetown University, and a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He has published papers and articles in leading U.S. and international publications, and he has spoken extensively on political and business issues dealing with the former Soviet Union, Central Europe, Africa, and Latin America. He is also a member of the Council of Foreign Relations.<br />
<br />
Hewko holds a law degree from Harvard University, a master’s in modern history from Oxford University (where he studied as a Marshall Scholar), and a bachelor’s in government and Soviet studies from Hamilton College in New York. <br />
<br />
As general secretary, Hewko leads a diverse staff of 800 at Rotary International’s World Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois, USA, and seven international offices. Hewko is a Paul Harris Fellow. He and his wife, Margarita, live in Evanston. <br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">As PETA wrote when awarding her a 2004 Proggy: “Dr. Grandin's improvements to animal-handling systems found in slaughterhouses have decreased the amount of fear and pain that animals experience in their final hours, and she is widely considered the world's leading expert on the welfare of cattle and pigs.” In 2010, Time Magazine listed her as one of its most Important People of the Year.<br /><br />Grandin’s books about her interior life as an autistic person have increased the world's understanding of the condition with personal immediacy -- and with import, as rates of autism diagnosis rise. She is revered by animal rights groups and members of autistic community, perhaps because in both regards she is a voice for those who are sometimes challenged to make themselves heard.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">The nominating committee convenes in September to select the Rotarian to be the presidential nominee. His name is announced to all clubs. Any Rotary club may make an additional nomination before December 1, which must then be endorsed by one percent of all Rotary clubs of the world. If such an event occurs, an election is held by mail ballot. If no additional nomination is presented by the clubs, theman selected by the nominating committee is declared to be the president-nominee. From that piont on, that special Rotarian and his wife will spend more than a year in preparation and then a year serving the Rotarians of the world as the international president.</span> </span></span></span><br />

There is a sharing policy at my son's preschool. It's a parent-run co-op, so we have to have policies like this so that we will all handle situations relatively the same way.<br />
<br />
The policy is that a child can keep a toy as long as they want to. If another child wants the toy, they have to wait until the first child is done with it. We'll even "save" toys for the child if they have to go to the bathroom, go to the snack table, etc. so that it won't get taken before they're done.<br />
<br />
This applies to anything in the yard or school that can be played with, including swings and monkey bars.<br />
<br />
At first, it didn't really occur to me to wonder why this was the policy. I just went with it, because that's the rule, and it didn't seem like a big deal to me. The kids all know the rule, so outside of maybe their first two weeks at the school, they don't throw a giant fit when you tell them, "You can have it when Sally Jo is done." But lately I've been noticing a totally different attitude toward sharing in other places we go, and I'm starting to really know exactly why this is the school's policy.<br />
Two Questionable Sharing Practices<br />
<b><br />Here are a couple of examples of questionable sharing practices that I've seen recently</b>.<br />
<br />
The first comes from a good friend of mine. (And I hope she doesn't mind that I use her story as an example.) She and her almost-2-year-old were at the park one day. He had brought a small car from home to play with. Another child, a little bit older, wanted to play with the car and was demanding that my friend's son give him the car. A typical toddler scuffle ensued, and the other mother told her son, "I guess his mom didn't teach him how to share." Never mind the fact that the car belongs to him and that when someone asks you to share, "No" is a perfectly legitimate response.<br />
<br />
My second story happened one morning at the local rec center. Friday mornings they fill the gym with tons of Little Tykes climbing structures and those plastic cars they can drive around, tricycles, big balls, even a bouncy castle. Basically a toddler's dream play room. There's this one red car in particular my son really likes playing with, and the last time we went, he drove it around the entire hour and a half we were there. While most of the moms with smaller kids will shadow their kids as they play, my son is old enough now that I can sit on the sidelines and watch.<br />
<br />
From there I watched a mom whose son wanted to drive the car approach my son repeatedly, saying, "OK, now it's time for you to give him a turn!" Of course he ignored her, and eventually she gave up. There were a million other little cars for her son to drive, including one that was almost identical. Or maybe I would have stepped in at some point.<br />
<br />
<b>Real-World Lessons</b><br />
<br />
I don't agree with the approach of the mothers in either of these situations. I think it does a child a great disservice to teach him that he can have something that someone else has, simply because he wants it. And I can understand the desire to give your children everything they want; we all have it. But it's a good lesson for you both to learn that this isn't always possible, and you shouldn't step all over other people to get these things.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, this is not how things work in the real world. In your child's adult life, he's going to think he's owed everything he sees. This is already happening in the next generation. I read a fascinating article about how today's teens and 20-somethings are expecting raises and promotions at their jobs for reasons like, "I show up every day."<br />
<br />
If you doubt my reasoning, think about your own day-to-day adult life. You wouldn't cut in front of someone in the grocery checkout line just because you didn't feel like waiting. And most grown adults wouldn't take something from someone, like a phone or a pair of sunglasses, just because they wanted to use it. (Well, maybe some of you would. In which case, this post may not be for you.)<br />
<br />
It's hard, as with so many things about parenthood, but let's teach our kids how to cope with disappointment, because it happens. And we won't always be there to fix it for them. Let's teach them how they can get things they want through diligence, patience, and hard work.<br />
<br />
How do you feel about the concept of sharing where young children are concerned? I know you likely don't have a "policy," as I sure didn't before the preschool told me they had one. Now I notice a variety of different takes on the subject from the parents I see around. Makes me wonder if we need to be talking about this issue a little bit more.<br />

<br />
Every few years, Haiti returns to the headlines, usually for unhappy reasons: natural disaster, political turmoil, general misery. Such news can seem doubly strange and awful when you consider that the country is only a short flight from sunny Miami. Often, Haiti feels more like a mystery and a puzzle than an actual place.<br />

Edwidge Danticat shows us a Haiti that’s more real and humane, and Haitians who are more than one-dimensional victims. Her novels, such as Breath, Eyes, Memory, and The Farming of Bones, as well as her short collections, including Krik? Krak!, are a window into a world most of us will never visit. Her powerful writing has won her fans and awards (including a MacArthur “genius” grant) since she was plucked from obscurity by Oprah Winfrey and her book club in 1998.<br />
<br />
Danticat’s newest work, Claire of the Sea Light, begins in a seaside village called Ville Rose. The novel tells the story of Claire Limyè Lanmè Faustin (“Claire of the Sea Light”), whose mother died in childbirth. Her father, a poor fisherman, must choose whether to give Claire up to a local woman who could offer her a better life. But Ville Rose is a small place, and villagers’ lives are intertwined in many ways. We learn the stories of several people around Claire, and as the perspective shifts to each character, these stories look much different.<br />
<br />
The result is a kaleidoscope of beauty and loss in a narrative that comes fully into focus only after all the pieces have been placed. It’s a testament to Danticat’s skill that she can make tales with so much darkness feel so light. In Claire of the Sea Light, as she continues to mine the trove of stories from her homeland, she again reminds us that while Haiti may seem foreign, life there is not so different from our own. – Frank Bures<br />

<b>Rotary Float in Rose Parade </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
The Rotary International float in the annual Tournament of Roses Parade is undoubtedly the largest public relations project of the Rotary clubs of the United States and Canada. Since 1924, a Rotary float has been entered, including every year since 1981. The famous Pasadena, California, parade is seen by an estimated 125 million people via worldwide television.<br />
<br />
Funds for the construction of the Rotary parade entry are voluntarily given by Rotarians and clubs in the U.S. and Canada. The cost of designing, constructing, and flower covering a Rose Parade float begins at about $120,000. <br />
<br />
A multi-district Rotary committee in Southern California coorinates planning of the Rotary float and provides hundreds of volunteer hours of service. The Rotary float must portray the annual parade theme, usually depicting one of the worldwide service programs of Rotary International.<br />
<br />
Each New Year's Day, Rotarians take pride in seeing their attractive float and realize they have shared in its construction by contributing a dollar or two to this beautiful public relations project.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>CHIKUNGUNYA CASES DOUBLE IN CARIBBEAN </b></i></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Chikungunya is not usually deadly, but it can cause a very bad headache, joint pain, rash and fever. Its name in the Makonde language, spoken in Tanzania and Mozambique in Africa, means “that which bends up,” because patients are often contorted with pain. They can spend weeks in bed, racked with pain.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">The virus only arrived in the Western Hemisphere in December, on St. Martin, Dr. Marc Fischer and Dr. J. Erin Staples of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.<br /><br />“Since then, local transmission has been identified in 17 countries or territories in the Caribbean or South America (Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Dominican Republic, French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Guyana, Haiti, Martinique, Puerto Rico, Saint Barthelemy, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Martin, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Saint Maarten),” they wrote in the CDC’s weekly report on illness and death.<br /><br />“As of May 30, 2014, a total of 103,018 suspected and 4,406 laboratory-confirmed chikungunya cases had been reported from these areas.”<br /><br />The Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes that spread chikungunya are found across the southern United States and as far north as New York. A. albopictus is commonly known as the Asian tiger mosquito and itself only came to the United States in recent decades.<br /><br />The virus grows in human blood and when a mosquito bites an infected person, it can spread it to others. So an infected person can carry the virus to new places and it spreads that way. Officials have been cautioning that the virus could become established in the U.S. , much as West Nile virus did starting in 1999.<br /><br />There's no vaccine against chikungunya and the only treatment is rest and pain relief.</span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"><i> </i></span></span><br />

On May 23 at the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, 49 persons became citizens of the United States of America at the William J. Nealon Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Scranton, Pennsylvania in Courtroom Number 4.<br />
<br />
The name of each petitioner was read. The Oath of Citizenship was given. The Honor Guard from Peckville VFW, Shopa Davey Post 6082 presented arms. With many accents and some tears of pride, the petitioners recited as one voice:<br />
<br />
<i>“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands: one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”</i><br />
<br />
<i><b>In the photo above</b>: Pictured from left - Kathy Nelson, Rotarian Dominic Scott and Phyllis Watkins, prepare the reception for the new American citizens on May 23 at the William J. Nealon Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Scranton.</i><br />
<br />
Forty-nine persons left the courtroom, holding a small American flag provided by the Lackawanna Office of Veteran Affairs, given to each citizen by members of the Rotary Club of the Abingtons. Fresh-baked homemade cookies and orange punch completed the reception. With smiling faces and congratulatory wishes, the Rotary Club of the Abingtons welcomed the new Americans.<br />
<br />
The idea of this community service began when now deceased Rotarian Bengt Nelson and his wife, Marianne, arrived in Spokane, Washington from Sweden. When they became naturalized Americans, a group of lawyers’ wives, welcomed them with a flag and a cookie and punch reception.<br />
<br />
After the Nelsons settled in the Clarks Summit area, Bengt became a Rotarian and Marianne joined the Rotary Auxiliary, called the Rotary Anns. Marianne had a mission. She would get others to welcome new citizens when allegiance was sworn to the flag at the naturalization ceremony in Scranton. She chose Phyllis Watkins, Grace Aiken, Val Little, and Helen Hyde. The first of these welcoming ceremonies took place on November 4, 1982.<br />
<br />
Thirty-two years later the event continues, still under the watchful eye of Phyllis Watkins. The goals of Rotary are still the same, to promote international understanding and good will. That goal was advanced with these home-baked goodies and a small American flag on May 23.<br />
<br />
<b>July 4, Fireworks Display by the Rotary Club of the Abingtons</b><br />
<br />
For twenty-eight years, on or near the Fourth of July, the night sky has been lit up in the Abingtons by a huge fireworks display. This year, the event will start early, at five o’clock on the actual holiday, Friday, July 4.<br />
<br />
Live bands will play. Fun events for children will keep the young amused. The smell of outdoor foods from sausage and pepper sandwiches, to pizza or potato pancakes will fill the early evening with scents of summer.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Phyllis Watkins, wife of Rotarian Warren Watkins, has headed the reception committee since its inception. The week before the event, she calls Rotarians and asks them to bake for the new citizens. On the day before the reception, with others, she collects the home-baked goodies and brings them on the appointed day.

Wendy Chung is the director of clinical research at the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative, which does both basic and applied science to serve people affected by autism spectrum disorders.<br />
<br />
She's the principal investigator of the foundation's Simons Variation in Individuals Project, which characterizes behavior and brain structure and function in participants with genetic copy number variants such as those at 16p11.2, which are believed to play a role in spectrum disorders.<br />
<br />
Chung also directs the clinical genetics program at Columbia University. In assessing and treating kids with autism spectrum disorders and intellectual disabilities, she uses advanced genomic diagnostics to explore the genetic basis of neurological conditions. She thinks deeply about the ethical and emotional questions around genetic medicine and genetic testing.<br />

<i><b>Interact </b></i><br />
<br />
Interact, the Rotary youth program, was launched by the RI Board of Directors in 1962. The first Interact Club was established by the Rotary Club of Melbourne, Florida. Interact clubs provide opportunities for boys and girls of secondary school age to work together in a world fellowship of service and international understanding.<br />
<br />
The term, Interact, is derived from "inter" for international, and "act" for action. Every Interact club must be sponsored and supervised by a Rotary club and must plan annual projects of service to its school, community, and the world.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In 2014, there are 16,742 Interact clubs with nearly 385,066 members around the world. "Interactors" develop skills in leadership and attain practical experience in conducting service projects, thereby learning the satisfaction that comes from serving others.<br />
<br />
A major goal of Interact is to provide opportunities for young people to create greater understanding and goodwill with youth throughout the world.<br />

<br />
Rotary is an organization of business and professional men and women united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations, and help build goodwill and peace in the world.<br />
<br />
Haiti Outreach’s vision is for Haiti to become a developed country, with adequate clean water, food, sanitation, medical care, roads, electricity, education and job opportunities for all. Their mission is to collaborate with the people of Haiti to build and maintain community-initiated projects that advance their development.<br />
<br />
We invite you and other Rotary Club’s to participate in an exciting Rotary-sponsored project that will help change the lives and futures of Haitians by greatly increasing the opportunities for the adults and children of this country.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>It is a multi-Club, multi-District, multi-Country collaborative effort that we hope will continue and grow for years to come. </li>
<li>Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world, yet only 600 miles from the Florida coast. </li>
<li>We are committed to working with the people of Haiti to make a lasting difference in the lives of the millions of people who live in this nation.</li>
</ul>
<br />
Three Rotary Clubs formed the initial partnership with the first commitment to build a public secondary school in the Haitian town of La Victoire – an area of over 10,000 people in the Central Plateau region of the country, with no public school available beyond 6th grade. This is an area of the country where Rotary has already had very strong and sustainable success with the innovative Safe Water Plus initiative. The Safe Water Plus Rotary Project raised funds to build new wells, rehabilitate many more, and create latrines involving over 100 communities in the Central Plateau of Haiti.<br />
<br />
The Partnership’s first school project was completed with the inauguration of the La Victoire public secondary school in 2010. Our next endeavor was to raise funds and build a similar public secondary school in the town of Rankit. This town of 20,000 people also did not have a public secondary school building. This project was completed with the inauguration of the school in January of 2013.<br />
<br />
Our next Rotary Partnership for Haiti Project is the building of 35 community clean water wells in the rural areas around Cap Haitien and Pignon. We have applied for matching grants with Rotary International and need to raise at least $50,000 to make this 2-year project happen. It should bring clean water to at least 13,000 people whose only water source is contaminated rivers or water holes.<br />
<br />
Contaminated water is the #1 cause of the death of infants and young children worldwide. The opportunities to collaborate and make a major difference in Haiti and change this story for this country are significant, and the need for our service is very real! Nearly half of the people in the country still must get heir water from contaminated sources. Will you join us and make a difference and save lives??<br />
<br />
If you are a Rotarian, we would also welcome the opportunity to attend a future meeting of your Club and provide a presentation about this project, as well as to answer any questions. We also invite you to email or call us for more information.<br />

Sincerely,<br />

<h2>
<b>Public Secondary School in Rankit is Inaugurated</b></h2>
On Friday, January 18, 2013, a beautiful summer-like day
in the Haitian town of Rankit, the first public secondary school
building (lycee) ever built in this town of about 20,000 people was
officially inaugurated. Many important officials were present, including
the town’s mayor, the Deputy (Congressman) for that area, the Ministry
of Education’s Supervisor for northern Haiti, representatives of various
Minnesota Rotary Clubs and the Pignon (Haiti) Rotary Club, many Haiti
Outreach employees, plus hundreds of students and adults of the
community.<br />

The Rotary Partnership for Haiti, consisting of many Rotary Clubs who
support the community development work of Haiti Outreach, worked with
Haiti Outreach for nearly two years and raised the funds for the school.<br />
<br />
The Rotary Partnership for Haiti includes not only Rotary Clubs in
Minnesota and Wisconsin, but Clubs as far away as Pennsylvania, Toronto
and Germany. A matching grant from Rotary International and hosted by
the Pignon (Haiti) and City of Lakes (Minneapolis) Rotary Clubs also
helped to make the school a reality.<br />
<br />
Attending the inauguration were
Rotary District #5950 Governor Bob Stowell, Minneapolis City of Lakes
President Christine Taylor and member Olaf Minge, Eden Prairie Noon Club
Todd Bollig, and Minneapolis Uptown member and Haiti Outreach Finance
Director Dale Snyder. Pignon Club President Obed Theodore and others
were also present.<br />

<br />
The morning started with a parade from the town center to the school,
with students in uniform marching in two outside lines and the various
VIP’s in the middle, all being lead by a brass band. The lengthy
ceremony included prayers and the singing of hymns, student dance and
choir performances, the band playing, a student skit, and many speeches
by the VIP’s.<br />
<br />
The ceremony culminated in the traditional “passing of the
keys” – the keys to the various classroom doors. They traveled from the
hands of Haiti Outreach employees who managed the construction of the
school, to Rotary members, to the Deputy, the Mayor, the school
committee responsible for maintaining the school, and eventually to the
school’s director.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Many of the speakers expressed gratitude to Rotary members and Haiti
Outreach for making this school a reality. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The 7 classrooms, one for
each secondary grade level, have the capacity for 60 students each. If
the demand for the school exceeds that, they are prepared to have two
shifts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The school also consists of a large latrine, a well for fresh,
clean water, and a two-room administration building. Rotary Governor
Stowell said what so many of us were thinking, that we were honored and
privileged to be able to make this contribution to the children and
future generations of Rankit, while admonishing the students to take
advantage of what the school will provide: an opportunity for them and
their community to have a better future, IF they do the work of becoming
great students. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now, in this town in Haiti , that opportunity has been
provided to all students who wish to take advantage of it. Thanks go to
everyone who have contributed and worked to make this possible. The
people of the community of Rankit are forever grateful!</div>

<b>Rotaract</b><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<br />
After the success of Interact clubs for high school-age youth in the early 1960s, the RI board created Rotaract in 1968.<br />
<br />
The new organization was designed to promote responsible citizenship and leadership potential in clubs of young men and women, aged 18 to 30. The first Rotaract club was chartered by the Charlotte North Rotary Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 1995, there were more than 113,500 members in almost 5,000 Rotaract clubs in 114 countries.<br />

In 2014, there are 6,887 Rotaract clubs with 158,401 members.<br />
<br />
Rotaract clubs emphasize the importance of individual responsibility a the basis of personal success and community involvement. Each club sponsors an annual project to promote high ethical standards in one's business and professional life. Rotaract also provides opportunities leading to greater international understanding and goodwill.<br />
<br />
Rotaractors enjoy many social activities as well as programs to improve their community. A Rotaract club can exist only when continuously sponsored, guided, and counseled by a Rotary club. The prorams of Rotract are built around the motto "Fellowship Through Service."<i> </i><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>ROTARY FELLOWSHIPS</b></i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>June is "Rotary Fellowships Month" </b></i></span><br />
<br />
Rotary Fellowships are international, independently organized groups of Rotarians, Rotarian spouses, and Rotaractors who share a common vocation or recreational interest. Rotary Fellowships<br />
give their members the opportunity to have fun, make new friends around the world, and enhance their experience in Rotary.<br />
<br />
Rotary Fellowships began informally in 1928 when Rotarians with a shar ed interest in the international language Esperanto joined together. In 1947, a group of Rotarian boating enthusiasts began flying the Rotary flag from their crafts, calling themselves the International Yachting Fellowship of Rotarians — which now holds the distinction of being the oldest continuing fellowship. The scope of fellowships has changed significantly over the years, but their purpose remains the same: to unite Rotarians in friendship and provide opportunities to enjoy favorite recreational or professional activities.<br />
<br />
Many fellowships also use their special interests to serve others. For example, the Fellowship of Canoeing Rotarians has organized cleanups of polluted rivers; members of the International Computer Users Fellowship of Rotarians conduct training sessions for Rotarians and others in their community; members of the International Fellowship of Rotarian Scuba Divers join local Rotary clubs to undertake service projects on each of their diving trips.<br />
<br />
Rotary International has established specific policies for forming a Rotary Fellowship. The RI Board of Directors evaluates each prospective group before deciding whether to formally recognize it.<br />
<br />
However, each fellowship operates independently of RI, with its own rules, dues requirements, and administrative structure. Membership is open to all Rotarians, Rotarian spouses, and Rotaractors.<br />
<br />
To learn about the fellowships currently recognized by RI, go to www.rotary.org/fellowships.<br />
You will find a listing of existing fellowships, as well as a directory that includes contact information for each group.<br />
<br />
To learn more about a particular fellowship, or to inquire about joining, contact the group directly. Members will be happy to hear from you! <br />
<br />
<b>Governance and administration</b><br />
<br />
Each fellowship has considerable freedom in developing its administrative structure, provided that the basic Rotary policy requirements are met. <br />
<br />
Establishing constitutional procedures in the early stages of planning will help ensure an orderly change of officers in coming years.<br />
<br />
A fellowship must have a governing document, such as bylaws or a constitution, that is consistent with RI policy. This document should include:<br />
<br />
•• Statement of purpose<br />
•• Responsibilities of each officer<br />
•• Procedures for electing officers<br />
•• Membership requirements<br />
•• Dues policies<br />
<br />
Fellowships may choose to incorporate. Before incorporating, consult with Rotary Service staff to learn about specific Board-mandated guidelines. Fellowships should not incorporate before being recognized by the Board, and must submit proposed articles of incorporation to staff for review before submitting any formal applications.<br />
<br />
<b>Fellowship logos</b><br />
<br />
Many fellowships develop their own logos that reflect their activities. Before finalizing your logo, be sure to forward a copy to Rotary Service staff for review to ensure that the design complies with RI guidelines, especially those governing the use of the Rotary emblem.<br />

The Door to Hell ~ Flaming Gas Crater in Darvaza, Turkmenistan (formerly USSR or Russia)<br />
<br />
Darvaza Gas Crater ~ The Darvaza Burning Gas Crater<br />
<br />
Located in the Karakum desert, close to Darvaza, Turkmenistan, is a huge hole (the Door to Hell) that has been burning for a long time.<br />
<br />
How long? There are mixed reports. Some say it has been burning since the 1950’s; and others indicating that it has been burning for over 200 years; but most agree that the fire started in the early 1970’s.<br />
<br />
Turkmenistan has one of the largest gas reservoirs in the world. The Darvaza area is known to be an area rich in natural gas deposits. It is reported that in the early 1970’s, at the aforementioned location which at the time was a part of the USSR, Soviet geologists looking for pockets of natural gas were drilling a hole to extract the gas from a huge underground deposit.<br />
<br />
While excavating at the site, they unexpectedly encountered a huge underground cavity filled with natural gas. The earth under the drilling platform completely collapsed swallowing the drilling rig in its massive maw. All that remained was an enormous burning hole about 230 feet (70 meters) in diameter and 65 feet (20 meters deep).<br />
<br />
In order to prevent the poisonous methane gas from escaping into the atmosphere, the hole was flared and then allowed to burn. At the time, it was thought that the fire would consume all its fuel and extinguish itself in a few days. The "Door to Hell" has, however, burned continuously since that day.<br />
<br />
Once the entire drilling site collapsed into the crater, geologists had a decision to make. The concentration of the gases was so extreme, if the gas was not contained by some method, the fumes would have overwhelmed the residents of the nearby town of Darvaza.<br />
<br />
The geologists decided to allow the gas to burn itself out. Burning or flaring was much safer and friendlier to the environment than allowing the poisonous methane gas to be freely released into the environment. Methane is a very potent greenhouse gas with a significantly high global warming potential of 72 averaged over a 20 year period or 25 averaged over a 100 year period. This seemingly infinite pocket of methane gas has burned unceasingly since that time and shows no signs of weakening anytime soon.<br />
<br />
Residents of Darvaza, numbering approximately 350, have dubbed this flaming gas crater, the “Door to Hell.” This inferno’s flames, which casts a menacing glow in the cover of darkness that can be observed for miles, dancing and licking at the air reinforces the idea of hell to all who have beheld this terrifyingly awesome and breath-taking sight. Watch the video below and you can get a small taste of the terror of hell. You can even hear the licking of the flames!<br />

The footage was taken by Sue Wallin, a parent at the game.<br />
<br />
Sara Tucholsky of Western Oregon is up to bat against Central Washington. The video picks up as Tucholsky hits her first ever - in her life - home run. Just past 1st base, she tears a ligament in her knee and is unable to run any further. <br />
<br />
The umpires state that if her teammates or coaches assist her she will be declared out and if a pinch runner is substitued for her, her homer will be declared a single. <br />
<br />
Hearing this, the opposing team players, Central Washington's Mallory Holtman and Liz Wallace, offer to carry her around the bases so that the home run will be counted. Thus ends Tucholsky's softball season and career.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>SPEAKER - DEBORAH GORDON</b></i></span><br />
<br />
Ecologist Deborah Gordon studies ants wherever she can find them — in
the desert, in the tropics, in her kitchen ... In this fascinating talk,
she explains her obsession with insects most of us would happily swat
away without a second thought. She argues that ant life provides a
useful model for learning about many other topics, including disease,
technology and the human brain.<br />
<br />
Ecologist Deborah M. Gordon has learned that ant colonies can work
without central control by using simple interactions like how often the
insects touch antennae. Contrary to the notion that colonies are
organized by efficient ants, she has instead discovered that evolution
has produced “noisy” systems that tolerate accident and respond flexibly
to the environment. When conditions are tough, natural selection favors
colonies that conserve resources.<br />

Her studies of ant colonies
have led her and her Stanford colleagues to the discovery of the
“Anternet,” which regulates foraging in ants in the same way the
internet regulates data traffic. But as she said to <a href="http://www.wired.com/opinion/2013/07/what-ants-yes-know-that-we-dont-the-future-of-networking/" target="_blank"><i>Wired</i></a>
in 2013, "Insect behavior mimicking human networks ... is actually not
what’s most interesting about ant networks. What’s far more interesting
are the parallels in the other direction: What have the ants worked out
that we humans haven’t thought of yet?" Her latest exploration: How do
ants behave <a href="http://news.stanford.edu/pr/2014/pr-ants-in-space-011714.html" target="_blank">in space</a>?<br />

<i><b>Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA)</b></i><br />
<br />
Each summer, thousands of young people are selected to attend Rotary-sponsored leadership camps or seminars in the United States, Australia, Canada, India, France, Argentina, Korea and numerous other countries.<br />
<br />
In an informal out-of-doors atmosphere, 50 to 75 outstanding young men and women spend a week in a challenging program of discussions, inspirational addresses, leadership training and social activities designed to enhance personal development, leadership skills and good citizenship. The official name of this activity is the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards program (RYLA), although the event is occasionally referred to as Camp Royal, Camp Enterprise, Youth Leaders Seminars, Youth Conferences, or other terms.<br />
<br />
The RYLA program began in Australia in 1959, when young people throughout the state of Queensland were selected to meet with Princess Alexandra, the young counsin of Queen Elizabeth II. The Rotarians of Brisbane, who hosted the participants, were impressed with the quality of the young leaders. It was decided to bring youth leaders together each year for a week of social, cultural and educational activities. The RYLA program gradually grew throughout all the Rotary districts of Australia and New Zealand. In 971, the RI Board of Directors adopted RYLA as an official program of Rotary International.<br />

<br />
<div class="notranslate" id="tagline" lang="en">
"In the cathedral of the wild, we get to see the best parts of
ourselves reflected back to us." Boyd Varty, a wildlife activist, shares
stories of animals, humans and their interrelatedness, or "ubuntu" --
defined as, "I am, because of you." And he dedicates the talk to South
African leader Nelson Mandela, the human embodiment of that same
great-hearted, generous spirit. </div>
In his native South Africa, Boyd Varty builds wildlife corridors
to restore the environment and literacy centers to restore the human
spirit.<br />
<br />
Everyone has felt that connection with nature. Through the Good Work Foundation, Boyd Varty is building a movement around it. The fourth-generation custodian of the Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa calls it a psychology of restoration. “We would like to be pioneers of the age of restoration,” says Varty. “Restoration of land, people and the human spirit."<br />
<br />
By providing environmental, English and computer education to the people who live and work in Londolozi, he’s also creating an economically and socially sustainable model for conservation.<br />

<i><b><span style="color: blue;">ROTARY VILLAGE CORPS</span></b></i><br />
<br />
<br />
Another program in Rotary's panoply of worldwide service activities and projects is the Rotary Village Corps. This form of grassroots self-help service was initiated by RI President M.A.T. Caparas in 1986 as a means of improving the quality of life in villages, neighbourhoods and communities. Frequently, there is an abundance of available labour, but no process to mobilize men and women to conduct useful projects of community improvement.<br />
<br />
A Rotary illage Corps - or Rotary Community Corps as they are called in industrialized countries - is a Rotary club-sponsored group of non-Rotarians who desire to help ther own community by conducting a specific improvement projects. The Rotary members provide the guidance, encouragement, organizational structure and some of the material assistance for the Rotary Village Corps, which in turn contributes the manpower to help their own community. The, the Rotary Village Corps provides a tootlally new process for Rotarians to serve in communities of great need.<br />
<br />
The Rotary Community Corps have been organized mainly in depressed ghetto areas of major cities where groups of individuals need the organizational and managerial skills of Rotarians to undertake valuable self-help community projects.<br />
<br />
The Rotary Village Corps program offers a totally new dimension to the concept of service to improve the quality of life.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>FROM THE ROTARIAN MAGAZINE - MAKING POLIO "THEIR" CAUSE</b></i></span><br />
<br />
When Shiva and Aruna Koushik moved to Canada in 1982, polio was still a devastating force in their native India. “Growing up there, you could see polio survivors dragging themselves along the streets,” recalls Shiva, a retired engineer and member of the Rotary Club of Windsor-Roseland, Ontario. “Every time you saw them, you felt helpless because you couldn’t do anything.”<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJVKSybhRXDmgfNh0YolO3O2ihBBdrNp3jQxIwubp0-FXpRgNrQL0l9DKCkjpDbsTgYU88W69G43IeSvHmcFZlGoR9z-aO1Rs40qOTRzTm2XnxECEoFEMZH_npzjHpUH1w-ZD5jWM-eLA/s1600/polio+may+23.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJVKSybhRXDmgfNh0YolO3O2ihBBdrNp3jQxIwubp0-FXpRgNrQL0l9DKCkjpDbsTgYU88W69G43IeSvHmcFZlGoR9z-aO1Rs40qOTRzTm2XnxECEoFEMZH_npzjHpUH1w-ZD5jWM-eLA/s1600/polio+may+23.jpg" height="169" width="320" /></a></div>
But now, in an era of mass immunization campaigns and incredible progress in the fight against polio, the Koushiks are determined to do their part. The couple have been leading trips to polio-endemic countries for National Immunization Days (NIDs) since 2008, culminating in a recent journey to Pakistan, one of the disease’s final battlegrounds.<br />
<br />
Pakistan has posed complex challenges for Rotary and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative: It’s the only polio-endemic country that had more cases of the disease in 2013 than it did in 2012, when Taliban militants began preventing immunizations in the country’s remote northern territories and targeting health workers. More than 40 people linked to immunization programs have been killed there since 2012. The country is also plagued with extreme heat, poor infrastructure, and tropical diseases.<br />
<br />
“We can do nothing about the political situation or infrastructure problems in Pakistan,” says Aruna, a conflict resolution specialist and Windsor-Roseland club member. “But we can prevent malaria and dengue, and we can eradicate polio.”<br />
<br />
Before they departed, the Koushiks led a fundraising campaign in District 6400, which covers parts of Ontario and Michigan, to purchase 1,600 bed nets for poor families in Karachi, the first stop on their six-day journey. When parents in the city’s Gulshan-e-Iqbal shantytown brought their children to get the polio vaccine, they went home with coveted bed nets they couldn’t have afforded otherwise.<br />
<br />
In Karachi, the team members also worked on a Subnational Immunization Day at the historic Cantonment railway station. These supplementary campaigns seek to address the issue of population movement by targeting transportation hubs. They give health workers a better chance of reaching transient children who could miss out on the vaccine during regular NIDs, or who might carry the virus from one region to another. They also provide opportunities for education<i>.</i>Health workers confront misinformation and distrust in Pakistan, Aruna says. “The negative publicity surrounding the polio vaccine has an impact on the lives of the workers who are trying to do good,” she explains. “The Pakistan PolioPlus Committee has been fighting this battle a long time, and they work hard to go with each group and educate families.”<br />
<br />
The team heard reports of Taliban violence while heading north to Rawalpindi and Lahore on the last days of the trip, but the Koushiks were not intimidated. They’d led a group in Afghanistan in 2012, and Shiva had visited Nigeria on another Rotary trip in 2010. They’ve traveled enough to know that success depends on careful planning, and they coordinated closely with the PolioPlus Committee in Pakistan. “We have a lot of faith in Rotarians, and they know that we take every precaution,” Aruna says. “We tell team members to carry all their papers on their bodies, so if there’s an emergency and we have to go straight to the airport, we can do that.”<br />
<br />
One of the early obstacles was scheduling: The team had originally planned to make the journey in late August, but because tensions surrounding recent elections were still running high, they postponed the trip until early December on the advice of local Rotarians. “Before we left, a lot of people asked whether we were nervous,” Shiva recalls. “And maybe we were, but because we were so well prepared and the Rotarians there were so careful and vigilant, we were able to relax a bit.”<br />
<br />
Shiva and Aruna were both born in southern India near Chennai and raised near Mumbai. They speak several local languages between them, including Urdu and Hindi, both widely spoken in Pakistan. India marked three years without polio in January.<br />
<br />
“When I go back and I see polio victims in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, it makes me want to cry, because if only those two drops could have been given to them, they wouldn’t have suffered,” Aruna says. “For Shiva and me, this is our fight. We want to help Rotary eradicate polio, no matter what.” – Sallyann Price<br />

<br />
By age 40, Jack Sim was a successful entrepreneur running 16 businesses. He had enough money to retire, so he started thinking about the time he had left. He wanted to be able to look back on his life with satisfaction.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i></i>Jack Sim is <i>Mr. Toilet! He wants to talk to you about toilets!</i><br />

Sim began searching for a neglected cause. He realized that people don’t want to talk about toilets, so he set about making the humble commode into a media darling. In 2001, he founded the World Toilet Organization, and this year, the United Nations voted to make World Toilet Day, 19 November, into an official UN observance. In October, the World Toilet Organization inducted Ron Denham, chair emeritus of the Water and Sanitation Rotarian Action Group, into its hall of fame.<br />
<br />
We sat down with Sim, also known as Mr. Toilet, at the action group’s World Water Summit in Lisbon, Portugal, in June.<br />
<br />
THE ROTARIAN: You use humor as a way to break through the toilet taboo. How did you come up with that approach?<br />
<br />
SIM: Once you make people laugh, they will listen to you. I saw another person who did it very well: Mr. Condom from Thailand. He promoted the condom by making people laugh, so I did the same with toilets.<br />
<br />
Everybody has their personal toilet horror stories, whether they’re about their travels or about their children. You just have to let it flow naturally, and everybody will talk about toilets. In fact, once they feel it’s a legitimate topic, they can’t stop.<br />
<br />
TR: What can Rotarians do to get people talking about sanitation?<br />
<br />
SIM: More than 100 years ago, one of the first Rotary projects was to build a public toilet. Every Rotarian should know this story. When Rotarians do water and sanitation projects, at least 85 percent of them focus on water. When you bundle water with sanitation, water gets all the attention. But you cannot have clean water if people are still defecating into the river. You cannot improve quality of life for the poor if people are still getting sick because of lack of proper sanitation. Women cannot be safe if they are subjected to rape or molestation because they have to go to the toilet in the bush. You cannot achieve education for girls if they have no place to change their sanitary napkin, and because of embarrassment they drop out of school for a week every month, and eventually cannot catch up and drop out altogether.<br />
<br />
TR: You and others, including Kamal Kar, talk about approaching sanitation from the angle of behavior change and getting people to want to use toilets. Do Rotarians have to change their behavior and mindset as well?<br />
<br />
SIM: In my early days, I rallied a foundation to go with me to China to build toilets for a school in a poor area. The principal had the students sing songs of appreciation. We were so touched, and we went home thinking we’d done well. A year later, we visited the school. The principal had moved his office into the toilet, and the people were continuing to defecate outside. We asked the principal why he did such a thing. He said the toilet building was so beautiful, much better than his office. That is why the whole project failed. Giving people things based on our own aspirations is not suitable. It has to be their aspiration.<br />
<br />
A lot of donated toilets end up as storerooms, kitchens, and prayer houses because people do not know how to maintain them, how to empty them, or how to clean them. They also don’t understand why there’s a toilet in the house, when for hundreds of years it has been a tradition to defecate in the open.<br />
<br />
TR: What should we be doing differently?<br />
<br />
SIM: The way to do it is to make toilets sexy, to make toilets a status symbol just like a cell phone. Even schoolchildren in the slums have cell phones, and yet they have no toilets. The best way to know that a person wants a toilet is when he buys it.<br />
<br />
A market-based solution is the most sustainable model. Instead of putting toilets in the ground and hoping people use them, if you were to invest this money in training people to set up a factory to produce toilets and train local ladies to sell toilets on commission, then you create jobs, you create entrepreneurship, and you deliver proper sanitation. Even after your investment is used up, the business continues to grow.<br />
<br />
TR: How does that work?<br />
<br />
SIM: It costs $2,000 to start a SaniShop factory [a social franchise model developed by the World Toilet Organization] and train the salesladies. Everybody makes a profit, and you do not need to go back to that same region. In fact, if you go back five or six years later, you may be surprised to find that everybody in that area has a toilet.<br />
<br />
TR: Any advice for celebrating World Toilet Day?<br />
<br />
SIM: You could do a press conference, you could do a tweet, you can put it on your Facebook page, you can make music, you can write a letter to your representative, you can go to a school. It doesn’t need to cost any money. Spread the gospel about the importance of good sanitation, and make toilets a normal subject that everybody can talk about. People used to be unable to talk about sex, and now they talk too much about it. We can do the same with toilets. We spend three years of our life on the toilet. It is not a criminal offense to go to the toilet, so let’s get comfortable talking about it.<br />

WASHINGTON, D.C., May 5, 2014 – Peace Corps Acting Director Carrie Hessler-Radelet and Rotary International General Secretary John Hewko today signed a letter of collaboration strengthening the organizations’ cooperation in the United States and abroad to promote global development and volunteer service.<br />
<br />
“The missions of our two organizations reflect and reinforce each other,” Hessler-Radelet said. “In our increasingly interconnected world, bringing the Peace Corps and Rotary together in common cause provides more opportunity than ever to leave a greater impact.”<br />
<br />
At Rotary International World Headquarters in Evanston, Ill., the two organizations committed to explore initial collaboration in the Philippines, Thailand and Togo. Across these three countries, Peace Corps and Rotary volunteers will be encouraged to share resources and expertise, and Peace Corps volunteers and Rotary clubs in the U.S. can connect to boost the impact of development projects. Through the Peace Corps Partnership Program, Rotary clubs can provide small grants to support volunteers and their communities. <br />
<br />
“It makes perfect sense to leverage the strengths of both organizations to achieve maximum impact, efficiency and sustainability in the projects we carry out,” Hewko said. “Together we will work to improve lives and build stronger communities, and – in doing so – address many of the root causes of violence and conflict, such as poverty, illiteracy, disease, and lack of access to clean water and sanitation.”<br />
<br />
The Peace Corps and Rotary will also work together to recruit more Americans into Peace Corps service and share their knowledge and understanding of the world with fellow Americans. Both organizations have rich histories of promoting peace and friendship between cultures and undertaking sustainable development activities to help communities in need throughout the world. They also have networks of volunteers and members dedicated to making the world a better place.<br />
<br />
Peace Corps and Rotary programs overlap in more than 60 countries, and many returned Peace Corps volunteers join Rotary clubs. The organizations have previously partnered on projects in literacy, water sanitation, and health, and Rotary funds have helped to purchase everything from construction materials to library books.<br />
<br />
About the Peace Corps: As the preeminent international service organization of the United States, the Peace Corps sends Americans abroad to tackle the most pressing needs of people around the world. Peace Corps volunteers work at the grassroots level with local governments, schools, communities, small businesses and entrepreneurs to develop sustainable solutions that address challenges in education, health, economic development, agriculture, environment and youth development. When they return home, volunteers bring their knowledge and experiences – and a global outlook – back to the United States that enriches the lives of those around them. President John F. Kennedy established the Peace Corps in 1961 to foster a better understanding among Americans and people of other countries. Since then, more than 215,000 Americans of all ages have served in 139 countries worldwide. Visit www.peacecorps.gov to learn more.<br />
<br />
About Rotary: Rotary brings together a global network of volunteer leaders dedicated to tackling the world’s most pressing humanitarian challenges. Rotary connects 1.2 million members of more than 34,000 Rotary clubs in over 200 countries and geographical areas. Their work improves lives at both the local and international levels, from helping families in need in their own communities to working toward a polio-free world.

<br />
In an effort to promote global development and volunteer service, Rotary and Peace Corps have agreed to participate in a one-year pilot program in the Philippines, Thailand, and Togo.<br />
<br />
Under the agreement, Rotary clubs and Peace Corps volunteers are encouraged to share their resources and knowledge to boost the impact of development projects in these three countries.<br />
<br />
Opportunities for collaboration include supporting community projects, training, networking, and community education. Through the Peace Corps Partnership Program, Rotary clubs can continue to provide small grants to support volunteers and their communities.<br />
<br />
Peace Corps Acting Director Carrie Hessler-Radelet and Rotary International General Secretary John Hewko signed the letter of collaboration on Monday, 5 May, at Rotary's headquarters during a ceremony that was attended by RI President Ron Burton and RPCV Rotary staff. In his remarks to the audience, Burton applauded the collaboration and both organizations' commitments to service.<br />
<br />
"Today's announcement is particularly meaningful for me because I come from a family of Rotarians," said Hessler-Radelet, referring to her father, grandfather, and aunt. "We are eager to join together in common efforts to inspire volunteerism across the country and around the world."<br />
<br />
Hewko noted how both organizations are committed to improving lives and building stronger communities by addressing the root causes of violence and conflict, such as poverty, illiteracy, disease, and lack of access to clean water and sanitation.<br />
<br />
The two organizations also agreed to explore expanding the collaboration to more countries based on the results of the pilot. Rotary will enlist the support of its members in recruiting Peace Corps volunteers and involving returned Peace Corps volunteers in service projects at home.<br />
Rotary members made collaboration possible<br />
<br />
Hessler-Radelet credited Rotary members in the Denver area, particularly returned Peace Corps volunteers Sue Fox, Valerie Hopkins, and Steve Werner, with helping to make the collaboration possible.<br />
<br />
The three Rotarians, who attended the signing, are members of the District 5450 Rotary-Peace Corps Alliance Committee, which has sought a formal agreement between the two organizations since 2010.<br />
<br />
Werner said they wanted to create an official relationship to make it easier for Rotary clubs and Peace Corps volunteers to connect. "[The letter] ensures compatibility and a shared value system," he added.<br />
<br />
Jesse Davis, one of more than a dozen Rotary employees who are returned Peace Corps volunteers, said he hopes the partnership inspires more like it around the world.<br />
<br />
"While serving as a Peace Corps response volunteer in Panama, I found myself working with the local Rotary club on countless occasions. They were an integral partner in my work," he said.<br />
Strengthening connections<br />
<br />
The letter of collaboration not only officially recognizes the partnership between the two organizations, but also encourages Rotary clubs and Peace Corps volunteers to expand the connections already in place.<br />
<br />
In Togo, Peace Corps volunteers Daniel Brown and David Gooze have teamed up with Rotary and other partners in the United States and Togo to distribute more than 5,000 soccer balls to disadvantaged youth. They are organizing 'More Than Just a Game' sessions, which use soccer as a medium to teach children about malaria prevention.<br />
<br />
"It's just one example of how Rotary and Peace Corps can collaborate on the ground to achieve lasting impact in the communities where we work," Hessler-Radelet said.<br />
<br />
Within the Philippines, Thailand, and Togo, Peace Corps posts and Rotary districts will coordinate at the country level with support from the headquarters of both organizations. Local Rotary clubs interested in working with Peace Corps volunteers should contact their district governors. Clubs located elsewhere should work through their Rotary counterparts in the pilot countries.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>AMAZING GRACE</b></i></span><br />
<br />
Marlana Vanhoose was born blind and with cerebral palsy. At 18, she is an accomplished singer and musician. <br />
<br />
<b>EARLY GIFT</b><br />
<br />
Marlana was born with Cytomegalovirus, a relatively common – and rarely serious – infection. But Marlana’s infection rendered her blind at birth, and doctors worried about her development.<br />
<br />
After a year, though, her body healed from the virus. Then her parents saw a glimpse of her gift.<br />
<br />
Before she could talk, she would hum “Jesus Loves Me.” It would calm her down,” Teresa recalled.<br />
<br />
By 2 ½, Marlana started listening to gospel music and playing the keyboard. “When she was 3, she would lay on the floor and sing,” Teresa said, and you could tell she could really sing.”<br />
<br />
Marlana’s parents, Teresa and David, both worked jobs that required a high-degree of patience and grace. Teresa is a special needs teacher in Kentucky, while David worked in a federal prison.<br />
<br />
Marlana, for instance, has to deal with a little brother who, as Teresa said, “aggravates her.” “It’s been a challenge,” Teresa said. “It’s been rough. But I thought, ‘I’m going to treat her like anyone else.’<br />
<br />
“Of course, you can’t do it completely like everybody else.”<br />
<br />
But what she loves most about her daughter is her optimism, her refusal to ever feel sorry for herself. “But she has a very good attitude,” Teresa said. “She doesn’t feel she has a disability.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>INSPIRING OTHERS</b><br />
<br />
She’s performed at college basketball games and the Kentucky Speedway, and she always moves people. In 2013, she was featured in a CBS News series called, “Young Innovators.”<br />
<br />
“The standing ovation that she got was the longest I could ever remember,” Wildcats coach Matthew Mitchell reportedly said, after Marlana sang the national anthem before Kentucky played Ole Miss in 2012.<br />
<br />
Marlana receives a lot of messages on Facebook, including one her mother remembered well.<br />
<br />
“The person was having trouble in their life, and they watched her sing, and it made it all better,” Teresa recalled. “That was really touching.”<br />
<br />
She sings an impressive version of At Last, but she also likes “Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey and hits from contemporary artists like Adele.<br />
<br />
So it’s not surprising that Marlana aspires to sing for a living.<br />
<br />
Her dream?<br />
<br />
“I want to travel around the world and sing and also get together a Dream Team,” she said. “Every single gospel singer, southern contemporary (artist), and we’re going to make a Dream Team choir, and I’m going to conduct it.”<br />
<br />
Who is going to tell her that’s not possible?<br />

<i><b>Recreational and Vocational Fellowships </b></i><br />
<br />
From stamp collecting to wine appreciation, the hobbies of Rotarians are as diverse as the membership itself. Yet, among the more than one million Rotarians worldwide, an amateur-radio enthusiast or a chess player is bound to find others who share the same passions.<br />
<br />
But Recreational Fellowship members share more than just their common interest in sport diving or Esperanto; they share an interest in fellowship and service and in promoting world understanding. As such, it is no wonder that the International Skiing Fellowship or Rotarians donates the profits from ski events to The Rotary Foundation or that the Flying Rotarians help ferry medical personnel and supplies.<br />
<br />
One as only to look at the types of Vocational Fellowships to recognize how they differ from their recreational counterparts. With Rotarians united by their shared professional interest in such fields a Hospital Administration and Finance/Banking, it is obvious that Vocational Service is as important a concern as international fellowship to the members of these groups.<br />
<br />
Members exchange technical information and seek opportunities to employ their expertise in service not just to their own communities and countries, but to their professions as well. For example, the Ophthalmology International Vocational Fellowship organized a professional seminar on the subject of eye surgery in developing countries.<br />

<i><b><span style="color: blue;">ROTARY FRIENDSHIP EXCHANGE</span></b></i><br />
<br />
<br />
An interesting Rotary program of fellowship is the rotary Frienndshihp Echange. This activity, originally recommended by the New Horizons Committee in 1981, is intended to encourage Rotarians and spouses to visit with Rotarian families in other parts of the world. It may be conducted on a club-to-club or district-to-district basis.<br />
<br />
The idea is for several Rotarian couples to travel to another country on a Rotary Friendship Exchange. Later, the hospitality is reversed when the visit is exchanged. After a successful pilot experiment, the Rotary Friendship Exchange has become a permanent program of Rotary.<br />
<br />
The Rotary Friendship Exchange is frequently compared to the Group Study Exchange program of The Rotary Foundation, except that it involves Rotarian couples who personally pay for all expenses of their inter-country experience. Doors of friendship are opened in a way which could not be duplicated except in Rotary.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>UPDATE ON POLIO IN PAKISTAN</b></i></span><br />
<br />
May 5, 2014<br />
<br />
LONDON (AP) — For the first time ever, the World Health Organization on Monday declared the spread of polio an international public health emergency that could grow in the next few months and unravel the nearly three-decade effort to eradicate the crippling disease.<br />
<br />
The agency described current polio outbreaks across at least 10 countries in Asia, Africa and the Middle East as an "extraordinary event" that required a coordinated international response. It identified Pakistan, Syria and Cameroon as having allowed the virus to spread beyond their borders, and recommended that those three governments require citizens to obtain a certificate proving they have been vaccinated for polio before traveling abroad.<br />
<br />
"Until it is eradicated, polio will continue to spread internationally, find and paralyze susceptible kids," Dr. Bruce Aylward, who leads WHO's polio efforts, said during a press briefing.<br />
<br />
Critics, however, questioned whether Monday's announcement would make much of a difference, given the limits faced by governments confronting not only polio but armed insurrection and widespread poverty.<br />
<br />
"What happens when you continue whipping a horse to go ever faster, no matter how rapidly he is already running?" said Dr. Donald A. Henderson, who led the WHO's initiative to get rid of smallpox, the only human disease ever to have been eradicated.<br />
<br />
The WHO has never before issued an international alert on polio, a disease that usually strikes children under 5 and is most often spread through infected water. There is no specific cure, but several vaccines exist.<br />
<br />
Experts are particularly concerned that polio is re-emerging in countries previously free of the disease, such as Syria, Somalia and Iraq, where civil war or unrest now complicates efforts to contain the virus. It is happening during the traditionally low season for the spread of polio, leaving experts worried that cases could spike as the weather becomes warmer and wetter in the coming months across the northern hemisphere.<br />
AOL Ad<br />
<br />
The vast majority of new cases are in Pakistan, a country which an independent monitoring board set up by the WHO has called "a powder keg that could ignite widespread polio transmission."<br />
<br />
Dozens of polio workers have been killed over the last two years in Pakistan, where militants accuse them of spying for the U.S. government. Those suspicions stem at least partly from the disclosure that the CIA used a Pakistani doctor to uncover Osama bin Laden's hideout by trying to get blood samples from his family under the guise of a hepatitis vaccination program. U.S. commandos killed the al-Qaida leader in May 2011 in the Pakistani garrison town of Abbottabad.<br />
<br />
At the end of last month, there were 68 confirmed polio cases worldwide, compared with just 24 at the same time last year. In 2013, polio reappeared in Syria, sparking fears the civil war there could ignite a wider outbreak as refugees flee to other countries across the region. The virus has also been identified in the sewage system in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, although no cases have been spotted.<br />
<br />
In February, the WHO found that polio had also returned to Iraq, where it spread from neighboring Syria. It is also circulating in Afghanistan (where it spread from Pakistan) and Equatorial Guinea (from neighboring Cameroon) as well as Nigeria, Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya.<br />
<br />
Officials also worry countries torn by conflict, such as Ukraine, Sudan and the Central African Republic, are rife for polio reinfection.<br />
<br />
Some critics say it may even be time to accept that polio may not be eradicated, since the deadline to wipe out the disease has already been missed several times. The ongoing effort costs about $1 billion a year.<br />
<br />
"For the past two years, problems have steadily, and now rapidly mounted," Henderson said in an email. "It is becoming apparent that there are too many problems (for the polio eradication effort) to overcome, however many resources are assigned."<br />
<br />
Henderson and others have suggested the extraordinary efforts needed for polio eradication might be better spent on other health programs, including routine vaccination programs for childhood diseases. But he conceded that transitioning to a control program would be difficult. "If not eradication, how does one accomplish a 'soft landing' which could sustain the global program on immunization?" Henderson said.<br />
<br />
Aylward said the WHO and its partners, including the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, aren't yet considering pushing back their latest deadline to eradicate polio by 2018.<br />
<br />
CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden said the reemergence and spread of polio out of Pakistan, Cameroon and Syria pose "a serious threat to our ability to eradicate polio."<br />
<br />
"Conflicts in many areas where polio is circulating are hampering efforts to vaccinate but success remains within reach," Frieden said.<br />
<br />
Still, the independent board monitoring the progress being made on polio has called for overhauling the program.<br />
<br />
"Few involved in (polio eradication) can give a clear account of how decisions are made," concluded a recent report by the group. "If a billion-dollar global business missed its major goal several times, it would be inconceivable that it would not revisit and revise its organizational and decision-making structure."<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"> "An advanced city is not one where even the poor use cars, but rather one where even the rich use public transport," argues Enrique Peñalosa. In this spirited talk, the former mayor of Bogotá shares some of the tactics he used to change the transportation dynamic in the Colombian capital... and suggests ways to think about building smart cities of the future.<br /><br />Enrique Peñalosa was the mayor of Bogotá, Colombia, between 1998 and 2000. He advocates for sustainability and mobility in the cities of the future.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Enrique Peñalosa sees urban transportation not as a matter of convenience and economics but as a matter of justice, of equality for every resident. In his own city of Bogata, Colombia, where he was mayor from 1998 to 2001, he proudly says that more than 350 km of protected bicycle ways have been created.<br /><br />These days, Peñalosa works as a consultant on urban strategy, advising officials in cities all over the world on how to build a sustainable cities that can not only survive but thrive in the future. He is president of the board of directors of the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy, an organization promoting sustainable and equitable transportation worldwide.</span></span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"> <i> "While mayor, Peñalosa was responsible for numerous radical improvements to the city and its citizens.

Despite losing hundreds of feet, “the mountain that eats men,” as it became known, still looms over Potosí – which now ranks as one of the most polluted places on earth.<br />
<br />
LEGEND has it, more than 400 years ago in a sparsely populated region of what is now southern Bolivia, Diego Huallpa, a young Quechua man, lit a fire at the base of a mountain to ward off the bitter cold. When he awoke the next morning, a trickle of molten silver had bubbled out of the ground beneath his fire.<br />
<br />
He tried – and failed – to keep his discovery from the Spanish conquistadors. In 1545, they claimed the mountain, christened it Cerro Rico (“Rich Hill”), and built the town of Potosí at its foot. Within 50 years, Cerro Rico had become the most productive silver mine in the world, and Potosí one of the largest and wealthiest cities in the Spanish empire.<br />
<br />
Over two centuries, miners removed 45,000 tons of silver from the mountain – 200 times the weight of the Statue of Liberty, and about 5 percent of all the silver in existence today. Most of it was stamped into Spanish dollars, or “pieces of eight,” which spread throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, becoming the world’s first global currency. The coins were legal tender in the United States until the mid-1800s.<br />
<br />
By the time the Spanish had left, most of the silver was gone and millions of slave workers had died in the mines, which had been honeycombed with unstable tunnels that collapsed and entombed the miners.<br />
<br />
Despite losing hundreds of feet, “the mountain that eats men,” as it became known, still looms over Potosí – which now ranks as one of the most polluted places on earth.<br />
<br />
THOUSANDS of miles away, Tom Cooper is getting ready to take office as president of the Rotary Club of Norman, Okla., USA. It’s 2009, and Cooper, a former hydrologist with a passion for water projects, is eager to head up an effort that will have a lasting impact. That’s when it occurs to him: Universities typically have research projects in need of funding. He visits his alma mater, the University of Oklahoma, and meets Robert Nairn, director of its Center for Restoration of Ecosystems and Watersheds. Nairn tells Cooper about his team’s work on a low-tech, sustainable system to treat water contaminated by mining. The group had tested it in the state’s northeast corner, at the Tar Creek Superfund site, where lead and zinc mining had so severely degraded the environment that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency had declared the water there “irretrievably damaged.”<br />
<br />
That changed when University of Oklahoma researchers, working with the government and private sector, installed a passive treatment system that uses gravity to route contaminated groundwater through organic material and limestone gravel. The water, discharged from old mining boreholes, travels through several stages. Once clean, it flows into a tributary of Tar Creek.<br />
<br />
Nairn tells Cooper that the system is working in Oklahoma, and that the team is trying out the technology in a smaller, pilot system near another severely polluted area: Potosí. He introduces Cooper to one of his most promising PhD students, Bill Strosnider, who is leading the research in Bolivia.<br />
<br />
STROSNIDER visited Potosí for the first time in 2003, as a college student. He was volunteering with a nonprofit that designed fuel-efficient stoves for locals, but he never forgot his first glimpse of the town’s river. “Under the bridge in Potosí, the water looked like a strawberry garbage milkshake,” he says.<br />
<br />
The image struck him. Strosnider, now 33, grew up in Pittsburgh’s Monongahela Valley, an area of heavy industry. He often played in the stream near his house, only to learn later that an abandoned coal mine had polluted it.<br />
<br />
While working toward his PhD in environmental engineering, Strosnider returned to Potosí and spent a month sampling water downstream of mines throughout the region. Some of the water near the city registered nearly 0 on the pH scale. (Anything over 7, such as baking soda, is basic. Anything under 7 is acidic. Hot sauce is around 4; vinegar is 3.) As he researched acid mine drainage – the source of pollution in Potosí – he learned that the rock in the mountains of Bolivia (and in many U.S. mining regions) is full of naturally occurring lead, cadmium, arsenic, and other heavy metals that are harmful to human health. They pose no threat until miners expose new rock and hit the water table. When water and air meet the freshly cut rock, the water becomes acidic, and as it runs downhill, the acid water dissolves these metals into a toxic slurry.<br />
<br />
“I couldn’t believe the concentrations of heavy metals,” Strosnider recalls. “When I ran the samples, I found arsenic, but also cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, nickel – so many toxic metals in these acid mine drainage sources, it just blew me away.” The arsenic in some places he sampled was 100,000 times higher than the legal limit in the United States.<br />
<br />
His Bolivian research partner, Freddy Llanos, a professor of mining engineering at Tomás Frías University in Potosí and the owner of a small mine that operates without hitting the water table, was less surprised by the findings. He had seen firsthand the effects of the toxic water – stunted fruit trees, water that burns the tongue, wetlands scorched by the acidity.<br />
<br />
In an area of such widespread pollution, the men searched for a site big enough to implement a passive treatment system, but small enough to manage. The Juckucha Valley would work. Even better, Strosnider knew a mine-owner there who was willing to team up with them.<br />
<br />
AT FIRST GLANCE, you might mistake the Bolivian highlands for the golden hills of California. At 15,000 feet, you realize that these are not the craggy Sierras or the sharp Rockies; the Bolivian mountains are massive, with broad flanks and wide peaks. In between lie many river valleys.<br />
<br />
The Juckucha Valley surrounds the Juckucha River, which weaves past villages down to an indigenous farming community called Vitichi. Here, the land is gentle and rounded. The river meanders through cottonwood stands, quaint town squares, and small farms. People are quiet and polite, growing grapes, peaches, and corn and raising alpaca. Villagers siphon river water to clean clothes and to water crops when rain is lacking, but few are foolish enough to drink from the river. Still, the town’s mayor says that many people don’t fully understand the danger. “They bathe in this water, even the children. After they bathe, their skin starts to itch,” he says. A few limited wells provide water for drinking, but not enough for the fields and livestock.
<br />
<br />
One fall day, almost everyone in Vitichi is at a market outside. Kids play on a ragged outdoor pool table while farmers move cattle past people selling dyes and vegetables, and drinking a sweet corn alcohol called chicha. “The contamination every year gets worse and worse, and the fruits are not the same quality as before. Now there are no peaches,” says one farmer, Hilarion Romero. “We started noticing it 10 to 15 years ago.”<br />
<br />
As other farmers talk about their crops, a few toddlers splash in the water while a mother looks on. Another child walks over and dips his hands in for a drink.<br />
<br />
Far above Vitichi, two main sources of runoff pollute the river: Kumurana mine and Andacava mine above it. The proprietor of Kumurana, a third-generation mine-owner named Patricia Monje, has committed to working with Strosnider and Llanos on an engineering solution to clean the river valley. “When they first talked to me, I thought, “Finally,’” Monje says. “The environmental problems here need technical solutions.”<br />
<br />
Monje runs a small tin mine, which, unlike a silver mine, requires no added chemicals. Even so, a steady bright-orange stream runs all day from the mine, through her processing plant, across a series of ponds, and into the river. The water in the river above her mine is not much cleaner. The two alpine lakes that feed it are, by turns, bright red or bright blue from the metals within. Ringing them are about a dozen abandoned, century-old mines. Monje’s neighbor – Andacava, a larger operation – releases its runoff into a valley above her, and it sometimes feeds into their shared watershed.<br />
<br />
Strosnider and Llanos proposed that they start by cleaning the water that flows into the property of the Kumurana mine with a passive system. “You start upstream and work your way downstream,” Strosnider explains. The engineers would clean the water flowing into Kumurana by lining two river channels above the mine with limestone quarried 40 miles away. Limestone offers a simple, sustainable solution: On the pH scale, limestone is basic, so when water runs over its surface, the water’s pH increases. As the water becomes less acidic, the dissolved metals can’t stay in a solution state, so they essentially coagulate and settle out.<br />
<br />
In addition, the team would close an abandoned mine nearby to reduce its contamination of the area. As a next step, Monje agreed to construct an active system to treat the runoff from her mine, which will improve most of the water flowing into the Juckucha River.<br />
<br />
BACK IN OKLAHOMA, Cooper knew he’d found the project he wanted to work on. He was excited by the idea that, if introduced successfully in Bolivia, the passive treatment method could help other developing countries clean their water. The project would be low-cost, sustainable, and manageable if the club could secure a grant from The Rotary Foundation.<br />
<br />
“I told Bill, ‘You know, to get a Matching Grant, I need a host club. Do they have anybody in Potosí?’” Cooper recalls. “I said, ‘Get me a name and I’ll do the rest.’”<br />
<br />
That name was Alfredo Porcel, one of Llanos’ university colleagues and, at the time, a member of the Rotary Club of Potosí. Cooper called him and said he was coming to Bolivia and hoped the Potosí club would act as host club on a Matching Grant to fund a cleanup project in the Juckucha River Valley. Potosí Rotarians were surprised and skeptical. “We’d seen a lot of scientists coming to Potosí – anthropologists, engineers, geologists. They did studies, but nothing ever happened,” says club member Marco Ortega Berrios. Another Potosí Rotarian, Sady Pardo, says they assumed that interest in the effort would fade.<br />
<br />
But Strosnider and Cooper were determined. They went on a “road show,” visiting nine clubs across Oklahoma and Texas to ask for help. They raised about $50,000 for the project, and the Foundation provided $25,000 in Matching Grant funds, with the Potosí club as the host.<br />
<br />
Cooper fulfilled his promise and made a trip down to Potosí with Jo Glover, of the Rotary Club of Norman-Cross Timbers. They met the local Rotarians and representatives from partner organization Engineers in Action. Cooper credits the Bolivian club members with securing key resources, including limestone.<br />
<br />
“Finding the limestone suppliers – that’s something you don’t do from America,” Cooper says. “You have to know the ins and outs of that. That is a major undertaking. Sady Pardo did that.”<br />
<br />
Until that point, the Potosí club had consisted of a few friends who met in a tiny room and talked about local news and made business contacts. Suddenly, they felt connected to the entire world. Cooper even arranged for them to attend a water conference at the University of Oklahoma to share their project with other environmental engineers.<br />
<br />
IN 2010, workers began filling in the abandoned mine near Kumurana with limestone and sealed it with concrete so that all the water trickling out would pass through the limestone first. They also started hauling limestone to line the channels.<br />
<br />
The process was difficult. They needed nearly 2,200 tons of rock, or about 150 dump-truck trips. Any project in Bolivia can easily fall into a political ditch – or an actual ditch. The massive trucks drove on impossibly narrow mountain roads, often coated with ice. When truck drivers met impediments, whether locked gates or mechanical problems, they often would dump their loads and leave. Strikes are common, and Bolivian workers regularly barricade roads, halting traffic, for days or weeks. Engineers in Action, based in Tulsa, Okla., and La Paz, Bolivia, acted as the contractor, helping to monitor the project on the ground and responding to each crisis.<br />
<br />
In May 2011, with piles of limestone scattered across the valley, three dozen locals – young and old, women and men – showed up to haul boulders. The Potosí Rotarians, along with Llanos, Nairn, Strosnider, Cooper, Norman club member Neil Robinson, another professor, and several students helped out. They worked all day until the limestone-lined streams gleamed like long white snakes in the sun.<br />
<br />
“HERE IS SOME ALGAE, SEE? It’s a good sign. Before, there was nothing green here,” Berrios says. It is 2013, and he is leaning over a tiny, whitish rivulet near the Kumurana mine on a chilly, overcast day. Up the valley, Strosnider and students from Saint Francis University, a small Pennsylvania college where he is now a professor, are taking readings of the water. He keeps them going all day, even through a heavy downpour of freezing rain.<br />
<br />
In the two years since the team laid the limestone along the streambeds, the pH has crept up. Tiny, mossy wetland plants are sprouting up next to the stream, and algae are flourishing in places that were once barren. Birds have returned.<br />
<br />
A few sprouts and a handful of slimy algae may not seem like much of a victory, but in this devastated ecosystem, they’re a small miracle. They’re also an indication that the graceful, imposing mountainsides here are not beyond hope.<br />
<br />
Still, the project has a long road ahead. Due in part to red tape, Monje has not been able to finish constructing her plant’s treatment system, which has kept the project from moving on to the next step.<br />
<br />
However, in early 2014, something “amazing” happened, Strosnider says: The Bolivian government agreed to fund active treatment systems at both the Kumurana and Andacava mines. Officials were spurred to action after villagers marched from rural Vitichi to Potosí, blocking roads and barricading government offices, to demand better water. The details are still emerging, but Strosnider says he hopes the government will pay for the installation of the active systems and the yearly costs to run them. Plans are for Engineers in Action to serve as contractor, and for Potosí Rotarians to administer the funds. Strosnider, along with Nairn and Llanos, will continue to advise during the project’s next stage.<br />
<br />
Once the installation of the treatment systems is complete, a team can build a bigger passive system through a series of pools to further reduce the heavy metals. Cooper says the Norman club is standing by to help fund the next phase. Once that is complete, not only will the water be clean, but this small river valley may act as a model for other watersheds devastated by mining pollution.<br />
<br />
“With a small investment from Rotary, we showed that there are solutions,” Strosnider says. “We’re going to bring back water quality for impoverished people.” – Erik Vance <br />

<i><b>RIBI</b></i><br />
<br />
The structure of Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland (RIBI) forms an interesting chapter in our history.<br />
<br />
In 1914, after Rotary expanded across the Atlantic to great Britain and Ireland, a British Association of Rotary Clubs was established as part of the International Association of Rotary Clubs. During World War I, there was little contact between the international
clubs, and the British Association held the small number of Rotary clubs
together in Great Britain, Ireland, and a few other European
communities.<br />
<br />
Following the war, a new Rotary International Constitution was adopted in 1922 which established the principle that whenever a country had 25 Rotary clubs it could become a "territorial unit" and thus have a representative on the RI board and receive other specific powers. the clubs in Great Britain and Ireland immediately petitioned for and received the status of a "territorial unit." No other group in the world made such a request or received that status.<br />
<br />
In 1927, Rotary International terminated the territorial unit concept and organized Rotary clubs by "areas" of the world. However, all of "the rights, privileges and powers of existing territorial units" were forever protected and perpetuated. Thus, since RIBI was the only territorial unit, it has continued to function as an independent unit of Rotary International, subject to certain approvals by the RI Constitution.<br />
<br />
The RIBI form of administration is uniquely appropriate to Great Britain and Ireland beaus of geography, language, tradition and custom. Because of this historic relationship, RIBI maintains a slightly different administrative structure from all the other Rotary clubs and districts in the world, even though it is a full member of Rotary International. <br />

When Michael McDaniel bought his coffee one morning, he came up with an
idea that could change the way we deal with disasters as a society. <br />

<br />
<br />
Michael McDaniel designed housing for disaster relief zones -- inexpensive, easy to transport, even beautiful – but found that no one was willing to build it. Persistent and obsessed, he decided to go it alone. At TEDxAustin, McDaniel show us his Exo Reaction Housing Solution and shares how he's dedicating his free time to working with suppliers and manufacturers to prepare for the next natural disaster.<br />
<br />
Michael McDaniel is a graphic designer using his skills to help people in meaningful ways.<br />
<br />
Michael McDaniel has worked on a wide range of projects for clients
including MTV, Comcast, AT&T, American Airlines, Best Buy, HP,
Sprint and Disney. His designs have been widely recognized; he's
received awards from the Society of Environmental Graphic Designers for
work at the M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas, and from
Cooper Union for a conceptual redesign of the interstate highway system.<br />
<br />
Prompted by the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina on the city of
New Orleans, McDaniel began working in his spare time for five years
straight on what would become the Exo Reaction Housing System --
portable, cheap disaster relief shelters. He is a principal designer at
frog and the founder and C.E.O. at Reaction Systems, Inc.<br />

<i><b>THE COUNCIL ON LEGISLATION</b></i><br />
<br />
In the early days of Rotary, any change in the RI Bylaws or Constitution was proposed and voted upon at the annual convention. As attendance at conventions increased and open discussion became more difficult, a Council on Legislation was created in 1934 as an advisory group to debate and analyze proposals before they were voted upon by the convention.<br />
<br />
Finally, at the 1970 Atlanta Convention, it was decided that the Council on Legislation would actually become a legislative or parliamentary body of Rotary. The council is composed of one delegate from each Rotary district as well as several ex-officio members. It was agreed that the council would meet every three years at a time other than at the Rotary convention.<br />
<br />
The council, which next meets in 2016, has the responsibility of considering and acting upon all "enactments," which are proposed changes in the Bylaws and Constitution, and "resolutions," which are recommended changes in Rotary policies and procedures. Proposals may be submitted by any Rotary club, district or the RI board. The council's actions are subject to review by all the Rotary clubs of the world before they become final. If 10 per cent of the voting strength of the clubs oppose a council action, such legislation is nullified and it is submitted for final consideration to the next onvention.<br />
<br />
The Council on Legislation provides the membership of Rotary a democratic process for legislative change in the operations of Rotary International.<br />

<i><b>REGIONAL CONFERENCES</b></i><br />
<br />
<br />
From
time to time, Rotarians may read the promotional literature announcing a
regional conference to be held some place in the world. Such a
conference is quite similar to the annual Rotary International
convention, but generally smaller in attendance and serving Rotarians
and guests in a region which is at a considerable distance from the site
of the international convention.<br />
<br />
The purpose of a
regional conference is to develop and promote acquaintance, friendship
and understanding among the attendees, as well as to provide a forum to
discuss and exchange ideas about Rotary and international affairs
related to the geographic areas inovled.<br />
<br />
Regional
conferences usually attrace two or three thousands individuals and
because they are considred special events in the Rotary calendar, are
not held on any regular schedule. The conferences are arranged
periodically, according to the interest of the Rotary leaders in
specific regions. Many of the operational tasks of the conferences are
handled by the RI Secretariat.<br />
<br />
Although there is no
special effort to promote attendance by Rotarians outside of the region
involved, members from all parts of the world are always welcome to
attend. Attending a conference in another region is an enjoyable,
rewarding and fascinating experience. These conferences provide another
facet to the international fellowship of Rotary.<br />
<br />
<br />
************<br />
<br />
<i><b><span style="color: blue;">ROTARY AWARENESS - Reminder</span></b></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">As Rotarians, we are welcomed at any Rotary Club throughout the world.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">In the next few months, let's all try to attend a <i><b>minimum of 3 meetings </b></i>at clubs outside of our own E-Club in the next few months. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Please make an effort to see how other clubs operate! Expand your Rotary family! </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
************ <br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>INTER-COUNTRY COMMITTEES</b></i></span><br />
<br />
In 1931, Rotarians in France and Germany organized the "petit comite," a small group with the goal of fostering better relations between the people of these two neighboring nations. Since that time, Rotarians throughout Europe have led the way in creating Inter-country Committees to encourage contacts between Rotarians and Rotary clubs across national boundaries.<br />
<br />
Inter-country Committees have now been established in many parts of the world to promote friendship as well as to cooperate in sponsoring World Community Service projects, student exchanges and other activities to improve understanding among nations. Frequently, the Inter-country Committees sponsor visits of Rotarians and their families across national borders and arrange intercity meetings and conferences.<br />
<br />
In some instances, Inter-country Committees are created between countries separated by great distances in an effort to encourage goodwill and friendship with matched or partner areas of the world. The Inter-country Committees coordinate their efforts with the district governors of their countries and always servce in an advisory capacity to districts and clubs.<br />
<br />
Inter-country Committees provide an additional means for rotary clubs and Rotarians to fulfill the responsibilities of the Fourth Avenue of Service - international understanding, goodwill and peace in the world.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>CHILD TRAFFICKING IN GHANA </b></i></span><br />

<br />
Human trafficking is an international problem affecting millions of people and many countries around the world. In Ghana, West Africa, the internal trafficking of children is one of the biggest challenges.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoNmAgMvsVC_pvbrJo_NhBgMX5NjwGwjuaBZbWqVHPSK7JRCMStNcmY4k8KgFAY2L_ELdwoWOVXxvPca88q7GIP3HMrZ19LqwETZC25RXVHvZ2zwS0JEHXFIVuoPW_7Mti_MK8lsgrI0A/s1600/ghana.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoNmAgMvsVC_pvbrJo_NhBgMX5NjwGwjuaBZbWqVHPSK7JRCMStNcmY4k8KgFAY2L_ELdwoWOVXxvPca88q7GIP3HMrZ19LqwETZC25RXVHvZ2zwS0JEHXFIVuoPW_7Mti_MK8lsgrI0A/s1600/ghana.jpg" height="210" width="400" /></a></div>
Many Ghanaian children are trafficked from their home villages to work in the fishing industry. Living in meagre conditions and working long hours every day, these kids are exploited by fishermen desperate to feed their families and eke out a living along the banks of Lake Volta.<br />
<br />
Created by the construction of the Akosombo dam in the early 1960s, Lake Volta is one of the world's largest artificial lakes. A number of fishermen who have depended on the bounties of the lake for many years report that fish stocks are decreasing, making it difficult to survive off fishing alone. Other work is scarce in a country where unemployment is widespread and approximately 40 per cent of the population live below the poverty line.<br />
<br />
The depletion of stocks is one of the key reasons why children are needed as workers in the fishing industry. In addition to being cheap labour, their small, nimble fingers are useful in releasing the fish from the ever smaller nets.<br />
<br />
"The Government should ban the use of nets with tiny holes," says Jack Dawson, Executive Director of APPLE, a local NGO that works in several fishing villages. "Doing so would allow fish stocks to improve and discourage the use of kids because there would be no need for such small hands."<br />
<br />
Another task that trafficked children frequently perform is diving to disentangle the fish nets from the numerous tree stumps that are scattered throughout the lake. As nets are often dragged along the bottom of the lake, they tend to get stuck. Diving is a dangerous job that can have dire consequences for the children, from catching water-based diseases such as bilharzia and guinea worm to death from drowning.<br />
<br />
On mission to Ghana, UNODC Goodwill Ambassador Julia Ormond, who focuses on human trafficking, visited a number of villages. Accompanied by a local team, Ormond spoke to child traffickers, trafficking victims and their parents, and people working to combat this crime.<br />
<br />
When visiting the fishing villages, Ormond observed several boats and their crews. She recalls that spotting victims of trafficking was relatively easy as their demeanour differed from that of children still living with their parents. Whereas kids tend to be playful and seek the attention of visitors, particularly those who have cameras, trafficked children are generally more reserved.<br />
<br />
"There was this young boy who came off the lake," she says, "he simply froze when he saw us! Carrying his paddles, his jeans falling off him; he wanted the attention of the camera, and gave a little smile, but it was so diffident, so broken."<br />
<br />
The driving forces behind child trafficking extend beyond fish scarcity. Deep-rooted traditions can also help explain the prevalence of this crime. For example, it is common in Ghana for children to participate in apprentice work with a relative or family friend. Many kids, and their parents, believe that going away to work is a route to a better life.<br />
<br />
"Child trafficking is actually a distortion of the old cultural practice of placement with relatives or townspeople," says Joe Rispoli, Head of the Counter-Trafficking Department of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Ghana. "And many parents don't know the value of education; for them, it's more immediately valuable for their children to learn how to fish."<br />
<br />
Child labour and even trafficking is deeply ingrained in the fishing industry in Ghana. Through conversations with child traffickers, it becomes clear that many of them simply do not realize that it is wrong for children to be away from their parents, not attending school and performing hard physical work for long hours.<br />
<br />
For example, Benjamin Tornye, a fisherman for 15 years, used to visit parents and ask them if their children could help him with his work. As he said, "children are good fishers." He would teach them how to use the boat, swim and dive, and he believed he was doing the right thing.<br />
<br />
However, a few years ago, an IOM intervention made Tornye and other traffickers realize that children should not be made to work like adults. "We have understood that it is wrong, and that kids should be with their parents and in school," Tornye says. Now, he is working as a community coordinator for APPLE, taking great pride in his work to stop child trafficking in Ghana.<br />
<br />
Emmanuel Agyapong also works with APPLE, educating both traffickers and parents about the perils of child trafficking. He says that reducing its incidence is a process that requires patience.<br />
<br />
"We need to build trust, to win the parents' hearts and souls," he says. "If they open up to us, we can make them understand. Therefore, we don't use legal arguments, as that frightens them."<br />
<br />
The legal framework on trafficking in Ghana was strengthened in December 2005, when the Government passed a comprehensive anti-trafficking bill, with assistance from a variety of international organizations. And while Ghana has not ratified the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, there is optimism that it will be ratified in the near future.<br />
<br />
"We are definitely going to ratify the UN Convention," says Marilyn Amponsah, Director of the International Children's Desk for the Ministry of Women and Children's Affairs. "We have participated in ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) regional cooperation for many years, and we are now ready for the UN."<br />
<br />
However, Amponsah stresses that the Ghanaian Government will need external assistance to be able to effectively implement the Convention. The international community could, for example, help build local capacity on human trafficking-related topics, finance micro-credit schemes to prevent and combat human trafficking, and provide the equipment necessary to perform day-to-day administrative tasks.<br />
<br />
In fact, IOM has provided micro-credit assistance to some of the traffickers who have released children as well as to the parents and guardians of the children under its programme. However, there have been certain conditions attached to the provision of these loans, such as the development of a viable business plan and timely attendance at meetings.<br />
<br />
"While there is a need for a certain grace period to establish their business," Rispoli says, "we don't want to be seen as Father Christmas. This way, we're not encouraging dependency."<br />
<br />
Currently, IOM and APPLE both rescue children from trafficking situations and bring them back to their families. Rescued children are first taken to a government-run shelter for up to three months before they are reunited with their parents. At the shelter, they receive medical checks and treatment, psychological counselling and basic education, preparing them to attend school back home. However, insufficient resources limit what this institution can do.<br />
<br />
"Our biggest challenge is lack of transportation," says Sharon Abbey, the shelter's Principal. "And we can't offer the children as much counselling as we would like. Their experiences can make them a bit difficult to deal with, but we would like to teach them responsible behaviour."<br />
<br />
Having learned about the complexity of the child trafficking situation in Ghana, Julia Ormond says that in spite of the problems and the horrendous conditions facing many children, she is encouraged by the efforts and the commitment to fight child trafficking she has witnessed during her stay.<br />
<br />
"I am touched by the work done by people on the ground here," she says. "It's effective! The villagers are responding (to the sensitization), as are the traffickers and children - it's fabulous to see!"<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>WHAT IS MODERN SLAVERY?</b></i></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>http://www.globalslaveryindex.org/about/#modernslavery</i></div>
<br />
In 2013, modern slavery takes many forms, and is known by many names: slavery, forced labour or human trafficking.<br />
<br />
- ‘Slavery’ refers to the condition of treating another person as if they were property – something to be bought, sold, traded or even destroyed.<br />
<br />
- ‘Forced labour’ is a related but not identical concept, referring to work taken without consent, by threats or coercion.<br />
<br />
- ‘Human trafficking’ is another related concept, referring to the process through which people are brought, through deception, threats or coercion, into slavery, forced labour or other forms of severe exploitation.<br />
<br />
Whatever term is used, the significant characteristic of all forms of modern slavery is that it involves one person depriving another people of their freedom: their freedom to leave one job for another, their freedom to leave one workplace for another, their freedom to control their own body.<br />

Pakistani educator Ziauddin Yousafzai reminds the world of a
simple truth that many don’t want to hear: Women and men deserve equal
opportunities for education, autonomy, an independent identity. He tells
stories from his own life and the life of his daughter, Malala, who was
shot by the Taliban in 2012 simply for daring to go to school. "Why is
my daughter so strong?” Yousafzai asks. “Because I didn’t clip her
wings."<br />
<div class="notranslate" id="tagline" lang="en">
<br /></div>
Despite an attack on his daughter Malala in 2012, Ziauddin
Yousafzai continues his fight to educate children in the developing
world.<br />
<br />
Ziauddin Yousafzai is an educator, human rights campaigner and social
activist. He hails from Pakistan's Swat Valley where, at great personal
risk among grave political violence, he peacefully resisted the
Taliban's efforts to shut down schools and kept open his own school. He
also inspired his daughter, Malala Yousafzai, to raise her voice to
promote the rights of children to an education. Ziauddin is the
co-founder and serves as the Chairman of the Board for the Malala Fund.
<br />
He also serves as the United Nations Special Advisor on Global
Education and also the educational attaché to the Pakistani Consulate in
Birmingham, UK. <br />

<i>"Ziauddin ... set up a school where girls could
study as well as boys, in a part of the world where the gender gap in
education is vast."</i></blockquote>

What drove David Sengeh to create a more comfortable prosthetic limb? He grew up in Sierra Leone, and too many of the people he loves are missing limbs after the brutal civil war there. When he noticed that people who had prosthetics weren’t actually wearing them, he set out to discover why — and to solve the problem with his team from the MIT Media Lab.<br />
<br />
Even the most advanced prosthetic limb isn't useful for an amputee if wearing it gives them painful blisters and pressure sores. This is the observation that guides David Sengeh's work at the Biomechatronics group of MIT's Media Lab.<br />
<br />
David Sengeh was born and raised in Sierra Leone, where more than 8,000 men, women and children had limbs amputated during a brutal civil war. He noticed that many people there opted not to wear a prosthesis because proper fit is such an issue.<br />
<br />
Sengeh has pioneered a new system for creating prosthetic sockets, which fit a prothesis onto a patient's residual limb. Using MRI to map the shape, computer-assisted design to predict internal strains and 3D printing to allow for different materials to be used in different places, Sengeh is creating sockets that are far more comfortable than traditional models. These sockets can be produced cheaply and quickly, making them far more likely to help amputees across the globe. <br />
<br />
Sengeh's work is attracting a lot of attention. He was named one of Forbes' 30 under 30 in Technology in 2014. And in April of 2014, Sengeh was named a winner of the "Cure it!" Lemelson-MIT National Collegiate Student Prize.<br />

Rani Hong was one of the countless victims of child trafficking. Now she’s a leader in the fight to end this global enterprise. <br />
<br />
Rani Hong’s childhood ended at age seven. That was the last time she saw her mother and father, the last time she would have any contact with family for the next 21 years. Raised in a village with no running water in Kerala, India, Hong lived at home until her father’s health deteriorated, along with the family’s financial situation. Out of desperation, her mother sought help from a respected woman who offered to take Hong into her home and feed and educate her. Both parents regularly visited their young daughter, delighted by the care she seemed to be receiving, until one day they were told she’d been sent to a school in another town for a better education. It was a lie: Hong’s caretaker had sold her to recruiters trafficking in child slave labor.<br />
<br />
“I was taken to an area where I did not know the language, where everyone was a stranger,” Hong recalls. “I cried for my mom to come and get me – that’s all a seven-year-old mind can understand.” Traumatized, she stopped eating and became physically and mentally ill. “My captors labeled me ‘destitute and dying,’ meaning that I had no value in the forced child labor market.” The only way the traffickers could profit from her, Hong explains, was to put her up for illegal international adoption. Trafficked into Canada, she was beaten, starved, and caged – “seasoned for submission,” in the parlance of her captors. A photo of her at age eight shows an emaciated little girl with prominent bruises on her arms and legs, whose eyes are swollen nearly shut. “I couldn’t even talk,” she says. “I had completely shut down.”<br />
<br />
Stories like Hong’s are common. An estimated 800,000 people are trafficked across national borders every year, 150,000 from South Asia alone, but precise numbers are difficult to determine in this underground market. Many victims are enslaved in sweatshops and brothels or forced to beg on the streets, and few escape.<br />
<br />
<i> “My captors labeled me ‘destitute and dying,’ meaning that I had no value in the forced child labor market.”</i><br />
Hong’s experience took a turn for the better when she was adopted: The single woman who raised her was a wonderful mother, a Rotary club helped send her to college, and the once-frail girl grew into a passionate voice for victims on the world stage. As a special adviser to the United Nations, Hong advocates for human rights and the rehabilitation of fellow survivors. She also runs the Tronie Foundation, which she and her husband established in 2006 to educate the public about trafficking and to support survivors in 20 countries through mentorship and healing programs.<br />
<br />
She’s never forgotten her personal nightmare or the people who hurt her, but Hong is quicker to recall those who helped her, especially her adoptive mother, Nell. Nell found her through a legitimate agency that was unknowingly dealing with traffickers, and brought her home to Olympia, Wash., USA. “It took me a while to get out of the mental state I was in,” Hong says. “She spent so much time playing games with me, and just being with me.”<br />
<br />
Unable to read or write English, the eight-year-old Hong was placed in a kindergarten class for children with special needs. To help her socialize with kids her own age, Nell enrolled her in after-school sports. “Nobody knew what to do with me at first,” Hong recalls. “But I became good at soccer, and that built my confidence. That’s why we stress sports and arts in our Tronie programs for rescued children.” Under Nell’s guidance, she caught up at school and her life assumed a normal rhythm. She was making plans to attend college when that stability was disrupted: Nell was diagnosed with terminal cancer. When Nell succumbed to her illness in 1989, the 17-year-old Hong had to call on all of her resources to survive – again.<br />
<br />
“It was a difficult time,” she remembers. “I was alone, without any relatives in Olympia to turn to, not able to pay bills with my minimum-wage job and stay in high school, so I decided to drop out. A family from our church stepped in and helped make it possible for me to graduate. I was sure there was no way I could go to college.” But in 1991, she won a scholarship from the Rotary Club of Olympia to attend South Puget Sound Community College, where she studied business administration. “I didn’t know much about Rotary at the time, but since then, as I’ve traveled all over to give survivor workshops, Rotary clubs have played a pivotal role.” Hong has since collaborated with clubs on projects including a medical camp in northeastern India and an education and resource fair in Olympia focused on human trafficking. She also spoke at Rotary-UN Day in 2012.<br />
<br />
Most striking about Hong, now in her early 40s, is the distance she’s put between her life today and the conditions she endured when she was young. Animated, with an easy smile, kind eyes, and the sort of intensity that commands attention, she naturally inspires others to share her goals – a quality she recognizes in the Rotarians she’s worked with.<br />
<br />
That intensity has served her well in her role as special adviser for victims with the UN Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking. This past fall, she presented a three-point plan for the eradication of slavery to the UN General Assembly. She spoke from the heart, but her commitment, she told the assembly, “is not simply to rouse others to connect emotionally with the plight of voiceless victims, but to inspire action and ensure freedom for the estimated 20 to 30 million women and children enslaved around the world.” In that session, she also promoted the Freedom Seal, a visual tool created by the Tronie Foundation. Similar to a fair-trade or cruelty-free cosmetics seal, the Freedom Seal helps consumers and investors identify companies, products, and services that adhere to a strict set of guidelines designed to ensure humane treatment for all employees.<br />
<br />
On a recent visit to the Arabian Peninsula, Hong was reminded of the need for the transparency and assurance the Freedom Seal provides. A young woman in one of her survivor workshops had been working for a hotel chain in Lebanon and was offered a better-paying position in Qatar, the world’s richest country. But when she arrived, she learned that she was required to relinquish her visa to her employer, the hotel manager, who then had complete control of her movements. The job was nothing like what she’d been promised: She was physically abused, held against her will, and forced to turn over most of her wages. “In that supply chain,” Hong says, “the manager was colluding with human traffickers, a common situation. And if we’d been staying in that hotel, we’d have had no idea of what was going on with the treatment of the staff. It happens all the time. This Lebanese woman was just one of thousands. There aren’t adequate laws to protect these people, or adequate resources for rehabilitation. If you get out, you don’t forget the torture and the beatings.”<br />
<br />
Hong didn’t revisit her own trauma until she returned to India in her late 20s. She had avoided the trip for years, wary of dredging up difficult memories. But during a three-week journey, she found her birth mother through a series of acquaintances and began to understand what had happened to her. “The night I opened the door of my hotel room and saw her, and listened to her painful story of losing all contact with me, I knew I would become an advocate for anyone victimized by trafficking,” Hong says.<br />
<br />
Back home in Olympia, she struggled at first to convince her own community that widespread modern child slavery existed. Her appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2006 and the national attention that followed began to change minds, as did her presentations to many groups, including her former high school’s Rotaract club. Last year, she shared the stage at an event organized by Rotary clubs in Olympia with fellow survivor and activist Elizabeth Smart, who was kidnapped at age 14 from her home in Salt Lake City. Hong has made measurable progress and powerful allies: Her testimony before the Washington State legislature helped pass the first state-level anti-trafficking law in the country, and she enlisted the Dalai Lama’s aid in her cause at the inaugural Delhi Dialogue conference. And after she addressed the UN General Assembly, the delegates took action, naming 30 July 2014 the first World Day Against Trafficking in Persons. Hong hopes this accomplishment will bring international attention to the plight of victims.<br />
<br />
Hong and her husband, Trong, who also bears the scars of a horrific childhood in his native Vietnam, are now the parents of four children. “My work has inspired me to talk to my own kids, to educate them at a young age about slavery,” she says. She cautions them against getting into cars with strangers, as most parents do, but tries not to be overprotective – a challenge, she admits, given her early life experience. She’s also instilled in them a compassionate streak: Her fifth-grade son, Andrew, recently participated in a school climbing competition that helped raise nearly $4,500 for the Tronie Foundation. “His elementary school was among the first in the United States to contribute to our cause,” she says with pride.<br />
<br />
“I’ve never met anyone so dedicated to an issue,” says Los Angeles attorney Paul Hirose, who works with the Tronie Foundation, creating criteria for the Freedom Seal and helping to get companies on board. “Most people have no idea how greatly human trafficking affects us through the goods we use every day – food, or even the cotton clothing we wear. I didn’t, until Rani opened my eyes.” <br />
<br />
Public awareness is the critical first step in the fight against
slavery, and it comes with a price tag. The Hongs have sustained the
Tronie Foundation with small donations and have used their own savings
to promote their cause. With adequate funding, Rani hopes to provide
school supplies for rescued children and shelter for HIV-positive women
in Mumbai’s sex trade, and continue to build corporate and government
participation. The cost of these efforts is high, but more significant
to Hong is the value of a normal, healthy life for women and children.
“I want to get the corporate world to change how the world views
slavery,” she says. “No amount of money is too much to make that
happen.”<br />
<br />
Hong finds inspiration in the civil rights movement and the words of
Fannie Lou Hamer, one of the era’s most instrumental activists.
Embracing Hamer’s thought that “nobody’s free until everybody’s free,”
Hong bonds with individual survivors. “They have to trust you,” she
says. – Stephen Ya<i>fa</i><br />

<i><b>International Conventions </b></i><br />
<br />
The Rotary District Governor performs a very significant function in the world of Rotary.<br />
<br />
He or she is the single officer of Rotary International in the geographic area called a Rotary district, which usually includes about 45 Rotary clubs. (District 7020 has about 85 clubs!)<br />
<br />
The district governors, who have been extensively trained at the worldwide International Assembly, provide the "quality control" for the 32,000 Rotary clubs of the world. they are responsible for maintaining high performance within the clubs of their district.<br />
<br />
The district governor, who must make an official visit to each club in the district, is never regarded as an "inspector general." Rather, he or she visits as a helpful and friendly adviser to the club officers, as a useful counselor to further the Object of Rotary among the clubs of the district, and as a catalysts to help strengthen the programs of Rotary.<br />
<br />
The district governor is a very experienced Rotarian who generously devotes a year to the volunteer task of leadership. The governor has a wealth of knowledge about current Rotary prorams, purposes, policies and goals and is a personof recognized high standing in his or her profession, community and Rotary club. The governor must supervise the organization of new clubs and strengthen existing ones. He or she performs a host of specific duties to assure that the quality of Rotary does not falter in the district, and is responsible to promote and implement all programs and activities of the Rotary International president and the RI Board of Directors. The governor plans and directs a district conference and other special events.<br />
<br />
Each district governor performs a very important role in the world-wide operations of Rotary. The district governor is truly a prime example of Service Above Self performing a labour of love.<br />

In Lebanon there is one gunshot a year that isn’t part of a scene of routine violence: The opening sound of the Beirut International Marathon.<br />
<br />
In a moving talk, marathon founder May El-Khalil explains why she believed a 26.2-mile running event could bring together a country divided for decades by politics and religion, even if for one day a year.<br />
<br />
The Beirut Marathon is the largest running event in the Middle East. May El-Khalil founded it as an instrument of peace.<br />
<br />
The beautiful city of Beirut, Lebanon, has seen its share of tragedy, as a seat of Lebanon's long-running civil war (1975-1990) and the Israeli-Lebanese conflict that came to a head in 2006. But in 2003, May El-Khalil, a local sports official, decided: It's time to start a marathon, open to all, as an antidote to sectarianism. And despite ongoing political and security pressure, the Beirut Marathon, now entering its 11th year, has become not only the largest running event in the Middle East but a powerful force for peace.<br />
<br />
El-Khalil was inspired to start the marathon after a personal tragedy: a near-fatal running accident. Doctors told her she would never run again. She was hospitalized for two years and had to undergo a long series of surgeries. But the resolve from this personal struggle created an event that, each year, draws runners and fans from opposing political and religious communities in a symbolic act of peace. Case in point: In 2012, on a rainy and windy November day, more than 33,000 runners turned out. Other countries around the region are now thinking of replicating this model.<br />

Months after he was born, in 1948, Ron McCallum became blind. In this charming, moving talk, he shows how he is able to read -- and celebrates the progression of clever tools and adaptive computer technologies that make it possible. With their help, and that of generous volunteers, he's become a lawyer, an academic, and, most of all, a voracious reader. Welcome to the blind reading revolution. (Filmed at TEDxSydney.)<br />
<br />
Blind almost since birth, Ron McCallum is one of Australia's most respected legal scholars, and an activist on behalf of disabled people around the globe. <br />
<br />
Ron McCallum AO is one of Australia's most respected industrial and discrimination lawyers and a prominent human rights advocate. With a long career as a legal academic and teacher, in 1993 he became the first totally blind person appointed to a full professorship at any Australian university when he became Professor in Industrial Law at the University of Sydney. He served as Dean of the University of Sydney Law School for five years and is now an emeritus professor. McCallum is a leading light in the disabled community, working for equality among all Australians. He is also chair of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.<br />

It was April 1979, and Clem Renouf, then RI president, was leafing through Reader’s Digest on a flight from the Philippines.<br />
<br />
In the pages of the magazine, he read that smallpox had been eradicated for a little more than the cost of the two Australian naval vessels he’d seen the day before.<br />
<br />
He’d just been in Manila formalizing agreements to launch the first project under The Rotary Foundation’s Health, Hunger and Humanity (3-H) Grants program, and now Renouf was wondering if these new grants could enable Rotary to tackle another disease with similar success. He called his friend John Sever.<br />
<br />
Sever was a district governor in the Washington, D.C., area and head of the infectious diseases branch of the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Diseases and Stroke at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Renouf had met him six months prior, when Sever had arranged for him to speak with contacts in the State Department before his first major trip as Rotary president, to West Africa. “I didn’t expect a doctor to be so businesslike, but he changed that misconception,” Renouf says. “So when I had this bright idea, it was natural I’d seek John’s advice.”<br />
<br />
As a researcher, Sever was immersed in studies of infectious diseases that affect children, such as measles, and vaccine development. His professional goal was to identify new causes of disease and bring vaccines to the children of the world. He was keenly aware that smallpox – a scourge especially rampant in developing countries – had just been eradicated, the first disease to be halted through a concerted public health effort.<br />
<br />
Sever also was friends with Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin, the men who had revolutionized public health with their development of the polio vaccines in the 1950s and ’60s. The vaccines already were stopping polio in the developed world; the United States would see its last case of endemic polio later in 1979. Sever recognized that Sabin’s oral vaccine, available for only 4 cents per dose, had the potential to save more than 350,000 children every year from the crippling disease all over the world, if only someone could organize the effort.<br />
<br />
<i> “The oral vaccine had the potential to save more than 350,000 children every year all over the world.”</i><br />
<br />
After Renouf’s phone call inquiring about which diseases to target, Sever consulted with Sabin. A few weeks later, he mailed Renouf a letter with his recommendation: “If a single vaccine were to be selected for the 3-H program, I would recommend poliomyelitis.”<br />
<br />
The 3-H program was in its infancy. It was the first time Rotary had committed to new projects beyond the capacity of any one club or district. While the first project, which began in September 1979, focused on bringing polio vaccine to children in the Philippines, the program as a whole was intended to improve health, relieve hunger, and enhance human and social development. Rotary had never had a single corporate cause of this kind.<br />
<br />
“The important thing was to get the polio vaccine from the manufacturers to the people who needed it,” Sever recalls. “I knew that Rotarians were a big international army of volunteers. They could work with the governments of the world to assist with immunization and provide financial support and social mobilization.”<br />
<br />
Renouf credits Sever, a member of the Rotary Club of Potomac, Md., for convincing Rotary’s leaders that the organization could tackle the disease. “Most would have dismissed it as an impossible dream, beyond our capacity financially or organizationally, as did many former leaders,” Renouf says. “But here was a Rotarian uniquely qualified – a senior scientist with an appreciation of Rotary’s potential, who by virtue of his reputation personally and professionally was able to persuade the 1979-80 Board to adopt the goal of a polio-free world as the major emphasis of the 3-H program.”<br />
<br />
The son of a Chicago physician, Sever remembers his father caring for children with polio. At that time, he says, “you could buy polio insurance for your newborn.” He recalls Sundays in Chicago, when families would go to particular schools or other public facilities for vaccine clinics. “That was called Sabin on Sunday – SOS – the equivalent to what we now call National Immunization Days.”<br />
<br />
Sever trained at Northwestern University as a pediatrician and earned a PhD in microbiology. At NIH and later at the Children’s National Medical Center, he worked as a scientist who also saw patients, a vaccine expert who understood social outreach, and a medical administrator who knew the politics of public health.<br />
<br />
These skills would come into play over the next three decades as Sever, along with many other Rotarians, inspired and led the global health community in its dogged struggle against a crippling disease. When 1984-85 RI President Carlos Canseco took office, he appointed a committee to create a long-term strategy to immunize all the children of the world against polio by Rotary’s 100th anniversary. Sever served as chair of this Polio 2005 Committee, which developed the plan for Rotary to provide polio vaccine and support to any country that needed assistance. (In 1995, he was appointed to that group’s present incarnation, the International PolioPlus Committee, on which he has served as vice chair of medical affairs since 2006.) Along with Canseco and Sever, Sabin and Herbert Pigman, then RI general secretary, were members of the Polio 2005 Committee. “It was these four men, I believe, who were primarily responsible for translating a dream into reality, ” Renouf has said.<br />
<br />
In his role, Sever became Rotary’s point man on the polio project and spokesman to the outside world. One of his first challenges was to create a partnership with the World Health Organization. Officials at the organization’s headquarters were skeptical, unsure that the Rotarians knew what they were up against, Sever says. “With Canseco, we had to hold a lot of cocktail hours with WHO members at the InterContinental Hotel in Geneva. They received us politely, but they didn’t think any nongovernmental organization could go the distance. ”<br />
<br />
With Sever’s help, Rotary received a special designation as a nongovernmental organization affiliated with WHO and forged an official partnership with the agency. That partnership, now known as the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, includes the spearheading partners WHO, Rotary International, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and UNICEF. Other important sources of support include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and national governments. One of the group’s recent accomplishments was working with the government of India to make the country polio-free. In 2012, when WHO presented the Indian prime minister with a letter recognizing this achievement, he thanked Rotary and the other partners. “I was ecstatic,” Sever says.<br />
<br />
Sever is a clear and direct spokesman, as befits a dedicated scientist, but he’s also modest. When he receives praise for his vision and years of nonstop work on behalf of polio eradication, he waves it away like a village health worker swatting at flies. “It wasn’t just me, ” he insists. “Many, many others were involved.”<br />
<br />
After 47 years at NIH and the Children’s National Medical Center, Sever works part time at the National Cancer Institute. Today, at an energetic 81, he continues to travel the world for the campaign he inspired 34 years ago, now 99 percent complete. “This last little piece is the hardest part, ” he says.<br />
<br />
Sever’s dual role as a Rotarian and respected scientist has proved “invaluable” to the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, says Hamid Jafari, the campaign’s director at WHO. “He’s a bridge between the world of science and the technical areas of public health that WHO and CDC scientists deal with, and the world of Rotary. Rotarians look up to him for validation of the science, of the technical strategies, of the research we have. So his word is important. ”<br />
<br />
When the campaign switched from the trivalent vaccine to the monovalent and bivalent versions to concentrate on the remaining types of poliovirus, Sever was among those who helped build confidence in that strategy. “John was right there,” Jafari says. “He understood the science, he understood the value of the change, and he was right there championing this as a strategic shift in the program.”<br />
<br />
This past spring, Sever took part in several press conferences to announce the Global Polio Eradication Initiative’s 2013-18 strategic plan. The plan lays out a blueprint for eradication in the last three polio-endemic countries – Afghanistan, Nigeria, and Pakistan – and certification of a polio-free world by 2018.<br />
<br />
“It was important to have him there because he first spoke to the fundraising and advocacy strategy, the feasibility of financing this plan upfront, and then he spoke to the technical rigor and scientific basis of the document,” Jafari says. “You have one person who is speaking on both aspects. To have that facility, when you have the New York Times or Washington Post or other important press persons in the room, was helpful.”<br />
<br />
Health ministers at the World Health Assembly in 2012 raised the polio eradication campaign to “emergency ” status, an official designation meant to drive the political will to get necessary funding. Television and print campaigns such as the End Polio Now “This Close” ads, featuring notable figures like Bill Gates and Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, also raise public consciousness and support.<br />
<br />
The final push will be costly: $5.5 billion, which will come from a combination of donations, NGO contributions, and funds from national governments. The money will fund not only the interruption of wild poliovirus transmission but also the intensive three-year surveillance period after the last case is reported, necessary for the world to be certified polio-free.<br />
<br />
“With the end in sight, now is the time to bear down.”<br />
<br />
With the end in sight, now is the time to bear down, Sever says. “Rotarians get fatigued. The governments in countries that now have very little polio get fatigued. They sometimes say, ‘Why don’t you help with measles or parasites or something else?’ Even if we sometimes merge polio immunization with these other efforts, we’re here to eradicate polio. We’re not here to switch to another program. Now is the time to stay focused. ”<br />
<br />
“The polio eradication program is where it is today,” Renouf says, “because of the contribution of some remarkable people – none more so than John. At a crucial time, he had the knowledge and experience and ability to breathe life into a nebulous idea and provide the leadership needed to reach a historic goal. I just hope he is on stage when that announcement is made, to receive the recognition he deserves.” – Peter Ross Range (additional reporting by Diana Schoberg) <br />

<i><b>Functional Literacy Program</b></i><br />
<br />
It has been estimated that a billion people - one-fourth of the world's population - are unable to read. Illiteracy of adults and children is a global concern in both highly industrialized nations and in developing countries. The number of adult illiterates in the world is increasing by 25 million each year! In the United States, one-quarter of the entire population is considered functionally illiterate.<br />
<br />
The tragedy of illiteracy is that those who cannot read lose personal independence and become victims of unscrupulous manipulation, poverty and the loss of human feelings which give meaning to life. Illiteracy is demeaning. It is a major obstacle for economic, political, social and personal development. Illiteracy is a barrier to international understanding, cooperation and peace in the world.<br />
<br />
Literacy education was considered a program priority by Rotary's original Health, Hunger and Humanity Committee in 1978. An early 3-H grant led to the preparation of an excellent source book o the issues of literacy in teh world. the Rotary-sponsored publication, The Right to REad, was edited by Rotarian Eve Malmquist, a past direct governor from Linkoping, Sweden, and a recognized authority on reading and educaitonal research. the ook was the forerunner of a major Rotary program emphasis on literacy promotion.<br />
<br />
In 1985, the RI Board declared a ten-year emphasis on literacy education. In 1992 the board extended the emphasis until the year 2000. Many Rotary clubs are thoughtfully surveying the needs of their community for literacy training. Some clubs provide basic books for teaching reading. others establish and support reading and language clinics, provide volunteer tutorial assistance and purchase reading materials. Rotarians can play a vitally important part in their community and in developing countries by promoting projects to open opportunities which come from the ability to read.<br />
<br />
************<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>CONCERN FOR THE AGING </b></i></span><br />
<br />
One current area of special emphasis for Rotary clubs focuses on providing "new opportunities for the aging." In 1990, the RI Board of Directors urged Rotarians to identify new projects serving the elderly that emphasize intergenerational activities and the integration of seniors into society and the workplace. The following year, the board called for an approach that stressed service "with" the elderly as well as "for" them.<br />
<br />
With the substantial upswing in the worldwide population of older persons, their needs for special attention have greatly multiplied. As citizens grow older, it becomes increasingly important for them to retain their personal independence and to remain in control of their own lives to the extent this is possible.<br />
<br />
Many Rotary clubs are seeing ways to serve the older persons of their community who face problems of deteriorating health, loneliness, poor nutrition, transportaiton difficulties, inability to do customary chores, loss of family associations, reduced recreational opportunities, inadquate housing and limited information about available social agencies for emergency assitance. Some clubs have initiated a valuable community service to assist older persons in retirement planning and adjustment by organizing and sharing the wealth of information available within the club's membership.<br />
<br />
Other clubs have developed foster grandparent programs and other intergenerational activities that allow seniors to use their experience and knowledge to help young people. Rotarians often can provide service which seniors can no longer do for themselves.<br />
<br />
The greatest need of aging individuals is frequently a mere expression of real caring and concern by thoughtful friends. All Rotarians should seriously consider how they and their clubs may actively participate in programs for the aging. It is one area of community service in which there is a growing possibility that each of us may some day be on the receiving end.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Domestic violence and sexual abuse are often called "women’s issues.” But in this bold, blunt talk, Jackson Katz points out that these are intrinsically men’s issues -- and shows how these violent behaviors are tied to definitions of manhood. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">A clarion call for us all -- women and men -- to call out unacceptable behavior and be leaders of change.<br /><br />Jackson Katz asks a very important question that gets at the root of why sexual abuse, rape and domestic abuse remain a problem: What's going on with men?</span><i><b> </b></i></span><br />
<br />
Jackson Katz is an educator, author, filmmaker and cultural theorist who is a pioneer in the fields of gender violence prevention education and media literacy. He is co-founder of Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP), which enlists men in the struggle to prevent men’s violence against women. Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, MVP has become a widely used sexual and domestic violence prevention initiative in college and professional athletics across North America. Katz and his MVP colleagues have also worked extensively with schools, youth sports associations and community organizations, as well as with all major branches of the U.S. military.<br />
<br />
Katz is the creator of popular educational videos including Tough Guise: Violence, Media and the Crisis in Masculinity. He is the author of The Macho Paradox: Why Some Men Hurt Women and How All Men Can Help and Leading Men: Presidential Campaigns and the Politics of Manhood. He has also appeared in several documentaries, including Hip Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes and MissRepresentation.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Apes, dolphins and elephants are animals with remarkable communication skills. Could the internet be expanded to include sentient species like them? A new and developing idea from a panel of four great thinkers -- dolphin researcher Diana Reiss, musician Peter Gabriel, internet of things visionary Neil Gershenfeld and Vint Cerf, one of the fathers of the internet.<br /><br />Diana Reiss studies animal cognition, and </span></span>has found that bottlenose dolphins (and Asian elephants) can recognize themselves in the mirror.<br />
<br />
Peter Gabriel writes incredible songs but, as the co-founder of WITNESS
and TheElders.org, is also a powerful human rights advocate.<br />
<br />
As Director of MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms, Neil Gershenfeld
explores the boundaries between the digital and physical worlds.<br />

Vint Cerf, now the chief Internet evangelist at Google, helped lay the
foundations for the internet as we know it more than 30 years ago. <br />

<br />
Menstruation: There, we said it. Now let’s talk about it, because girls are suffering. about it, because girls are suffering.<br />
<br />
There are many candidates for the title of “last taboo,” but the strongest contender is menstruation. Even within the field of sanitation, which I have been writing about for seven years, menstruation is hardly mentioned. This is absurd, and dangerous. Menstruation is inevitable and natural. Yet throughout the developing world, women are ostracized, shamed, and damaged by this pointless taboo. In 2012, I traveled through India with the Great Wash Yatra, a sanitation carnival organized by WASH United, a nongovernmental organization. In 51 days, it covered more than 1,200 miles and went through five Indian states. It attracted 150,000 visitors to play educational games about sanitation and hygiene, such as Poo Minefield, in which a blindfolded contestant had to avoid potentially dangerous excreta while picking up lifesaving soap bars. There was WASH Idol, whose winner sang the best sanitation-themed song, and there were dance contests.<br />
<br />
But I was drawn to a corner of the carnival, to a yellow and red tent that bore a sign saying “Women and girls only.” This was the Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) Lab, where women and girls could tell researchers about their experiences, get free sanitary cloths, and make themselves a bracelet using red and green beads to symbolize the days of the menstrual cycle. (Mine was made by a male volunteer who must think my period lasts 21 days.) Twelve thousand women and girls passed through the MHM Lab. Even on holy days, when researchers expected nobody to turn up, there was a queue several hundred meters long outside the entrance.<br />
<br />
What did the women want? The free sanitary cloths were useful, of course. The advice about how to keep them sanitary was good too. (Iron them or dry them in the sun.) But what they wanted most was information. They wanted to talk. They wanted to know things they had never been told because of the breadth and depth of the taboo. More than 70 percent of them told the MHM workers that they had known nothing about menstruation when they started bleeding. Their mothers had not talked to them about it, because their own mothers in turn had not talked to them. When they had begun bleeding, many thought they were ill. Some thought they were dying. I met a young woman in a schoolyard whose mother had died of cancer, so when she started bleeding one day, she was convinced that she had cancer too. What else was she supposed to think?<br />
<br />
Many of those 12,000 women said their menstrual blood was dirty blood, and so they were dirty too.<br />
<br />
In another schoolyard in another state, I met three delightful young girls who told me more. They were 10 or 12 years old but spoke with charming confidence, even about their periods (once the male cameraman had moved away). They told me what periods meant to them: restriction, taboos, and not being able to eat pickles. Pardon? Yes, madam, they said. Pickles. Other common restrictions compiled by the Indian NGO Goonj included seeing birds, going near a newborn baby, going out at noon, having sex with your husband, talking to boys, serving food, keeping flowers. One of the young women in that schoolyard told me with perfect seriousness that she couldn’t paint her nails when she was menstruating, because obviously menstruation makes nail polish go rotten. Elsewhere, women are not allowed to bathe during their period. In extreme circumstances, such as in the western Himalayas in Nepal, they are confined for the duration of their menstruation to the family cattle shed, known as a chaupadi – even in the depths of the Himalayan winter.<br />
<br />
Why do those things matter? Because when something languishes in silence and shame, it can do harm. When women and girls must keep their sanitary cloths out of sight, many dry them in damp spaces under their beds, risking urinary tract infections and worse. An outreach worker told me of a case in which a young woman had to have her ovaries removed because of such an infection. Afterward, her fellow villagers crossed the road when they saw her, because a barren woman is a curse.<br />
<br />
That’s the health toll. Then there is the damage to women’s futures. Research carried out in India found that 23 percent of girls drop out of school permanently when they begin to menstruate. Another study in Uganda put the figure at 30 percent. Why? The schools have poor or nonexistent sanitary facilities, and no clean, private washing areas. Schoolmates mock the girls when they have accidents in lessons, although they must sit for hours without toilet breaks. A young woman in Liberia, who attended a brand-new school that had been built without a toilet block, told me she wears two pairs of underpants, two pairs of trousers, and two skirts when she has her period. It is not surprising that many girls prefer to stay home, and eventually – especially when they reach the age at which they are considered fertile and suitable for marriage – don’t come back to school.<br />
<br />
An educated girl is more likely to live longer, be healthier, have a smaller family, and experience greater prosperity than a girl who doesn’t receive an education. The loss of a quarter of girls from the education system is huge and disgraceful. And it’s avoidable, as are the diarrhea death tolls resulting from poor sanitation. The solution is the same in both instances: clean, safe toilets for everyone. Yet in India, 628 million people still have no toilet whatsoever. And only 12 percent of the country’s women and girls use sanitary napkins.<br />
<br />
There’s reason for cautious hope: The government of India has launched a nationwide plan to provide girls with subsidized sanitary pads (though it has yet to reveal how a country that struggles with disposing of waste, both human and other, will deal with millions of sanitary pads in its systems). I attended an extraordinary high-level meeting at the United Nations this past March that brought together NGOs, businesspeople, and education experts, all talking periods, all working out how to break the taboo, with ideas such as sending out menstrual hygiene information with the HPV vaccine, due to be delivered to 30 million girls over the next decade. Perhaps menstruation is coming out of the linen closet, slowly.<br />
<br />
In one of the schoolyards, I watched as a laborer hefted bricks out of one of the latrines. He was rebuilding the latrine as a sanitary pad incinerator. One of the male schoolteachers had been to an MHM workshop and told me that his female students needed a private space in which they could get rid of their sanitary cloths. It had cost him 200 rupees – only US$4, but no small sum to him. But it would be worth it if his pupils stayed in school, were educated, and grew up into young women who knew how to talk to their daughters about this natural human function without shame and fear. – Rose George<br />

<i><b>World Community Service </b></i><br />
<br />
World Community Service is the Rotary program by which a club or district in one country provides humanitarian assistance to a club in another country.<br />
<br />
Typically, the aid goes to a developing community where the Rotary project will help raise the standard of living and the quality of life. the ultimate object of World Community Service is to build goodwill and understanding among peoples of the world.<br />
<br />
One important way to find a club in some other part of the world which needs help on a worthy project is to use the WCS Projects Exchange, a list of dozens of worthy activities in developing areas. The exchange list is maintained in the RI Secretariat in Eanston and is readily available upon
reequest. It outlines projects, provides estimated costs and gives
names of the appropriate contacts. Today, a change to Rotary Central is taking place.<br />
<br />
Clubs that need assistance, or are seeking another clu to help with a humanitarian project, such as building a clinic, school, hospital, community water well, library or other beneficial activity, may registere their needs. Clubs seeking a desirable World Community Service project may easily review the list of needs registered in the Projects Exchange. Thus, the exchange provides a pracatical way to link needs with resources.<br />
<br />
Every Rotary club is urged to undertake a new World Community Service project each year. The WCS Projects Exchange lists is an excellent tool to find a real need, a project description and cooperating club in a developing area. The jo then is to "go to work" to complete the project and at the same time build bridges of friendship and world understanding.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>SPEAKER - A woman who is changing the world</b></i></span><br />
<br />
<br />
Shiza Shahid began volunteering in women's prisons at 14 years old. At 16, she began a year-long experience as the only female volunteer in an earthquake relief camp.<br />
<br />
It probably goes without saying that by the end of her teenage years, she'd figured out a lot about life.<br />
<br />
Now she runs the Malala Fund, which advocates for girls' education all over the world. Shahid's views on life and what we can do to if we really want to make a difference are pretty inspiring.<br />

There's an astronaut saying: In space, “there is no problem so bad that you can’t make it worse.” So how do you deal with the complexity, the sheer pressure, of dealing with dangerous and scary situations? Retired colonel Chris Hadfield paints a vivid portrait of how to be prepared for the worst in space (and life) -- and it starts with walking into a spider’s web. Watch for a special space-y performance.<br />
<br />
Tweeting (and covering Bowie) from the International Space Station last year, Colonel Chris Hadfield reminded the world how much we love space.<br />
<br />
“Good morning, Earth.” That is how Colonel Chris Hadfield, writing on Twitter, woke up the world every day while living aboard the International Space Station. In his five months on the ISS (including three as commander) Hadfield became a worldwide sensation, using social media to make outer space accessible and infusing a sense of wonder into the collective consciousness. Check out his cover version of David Bowie's "Space Oddity," sung while floating in his tin can, far above the world ...<br />
<br />
Now back on our home planet, he continues to share the excitement of science and space travel. He's the author of the new book An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth. As he says, "There are no wishy-washy astronauts. You don't get up there by being uncaring and blasé. And whatever gave you the sense of tenacity and purpose to get that far in life is absolutely reaffirmed and deepened by the experience itself."<br />
<br />
Hadfield is also a font of Canadian firsts: He was Canada’s first shuttle mission specialist, and the first Canadian to board a Russian spacecraft (he helped build the Mir), do a spacewalk (he's done two), and of course, to command the International Space Station.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"He is a fighter pilot, a test pilot and an aeronautical engineer capable of docking a rocket ship. But that's not why the world loves him. Of the hundreds of astronauts who have gone into space, none has humanised it quite the way Hadfield has. "</i></blockquote>

It’s the dream of kids all around the world to see giant beasts walk the Earth again. Could -- and should -- that dream be realized? Hendrik Poinar gives an informative talk on the next -- really -- big thing: The quest to engineer a creature that looks very much like our furry friend, the woolly mammoth. The first step, to sequence the woolly genome, is nearly complete. And it’s huge. (Filmed at TEDxDeExtinction.)<br />
<br />
Hendrik Poinar is a geneticist and biological anthropologist who focuses on extracting ancient DNA. He currently has his sights set on sequencing the genome of the woolly mammoth -- and cloning it.<br />
<br />
<br />
As a child Hendrik Poinar never imagined that the insects his father kept around the house, extinct and preserved in amber, could someday be brought to life. Well that's exactly what Poinar has devoted his career to doing. Today he is a molecular evolutionary geneticist and biological anthropologist at McMaster University in Ontario, where he is the principal investigator at the Ancient DNA Centre. Poinar's focus is on extracting and preserving DNA from paleontological remains -- precisely what he thought impossible as a kid.<br />
<br />
And Poinar's newest project is much, much bigger than those insects from his childhood: He wants to bring back the woolly mammoth. In 2006 he and his team started working on sequencing the mammoth genome, based on DNA extracted from well-preserved remains found in Yukon and Siberia. With the mapping nearly complete, Poinar will next turn to engineering an animal very closely resembling the woolly mammoth.<br />

Look for redness and swelling: That’s the advice to post-surgical patients –
including my dad after a knee replacement. Back at home, my parents took
to studying his incision, wondering if it was normal.<br />
<br />
It’s tough to identify abnormal when your loved one’s knee resembles a close encounter with Dr. Frankenstein and a staple gun. The incision became a Rorschach test for our anxiety level.<br />
<br />
The normal-or-not debate ended on Thanksgiving, when severe swelling and excruciating pain brought my dad to the ER late at night. Diagnosis: raging infection.<br />
<br />
To tame it, my dad had to show up at the hospital every day for a month so antibiotics could drip through a thin tube inserted in his upper arm and extending to a large vein in his chest. If the infection spread to his brand-new knee joint, the doctors would have to remove it. That would be followed by another surgery, with all the accompanying misery and risk, and decreasing chances of success with each joint-replacement attempt.<br />
<br />
My dad’s story ended well. The infection cleared, and he kept his new knee. For that, I’m grateful. But I’d prefer a low-drama narrative in which the bacteria are found before they turn into an antibiotic-resistant mess. Researchers are working on that – and other health problems – with the help of sensors. These tiny, behind-the-scenes workhorses can detect light, heat, motion – just about any physical property worth measuring. As a result, sensors can catch some medical issues early, or in some cases, prevent them entirely.<br />
<br />
In the coming years, smart bandages will serve as vigilant watchdogs, sniffing out infections when only a few bacterial cells are present. I heard this promising news from Ed Goluch, assistant professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University in Boston. He’s designed a smart bandage with thin wires attached to an electrochemical sensor, just a few micrometers wide (slightly larger than a single bacterial cell). Here’s how it works: Bacteria produce molecules, and when a molecule touches the wire, it produces a current. By measuring current flow, the smart bandage reveals the concentration of molecules – and bacteria. If my dad had been wearing such a sensor, doctors might have started treating him long before he landed in the ER.<br />
<br />
Goluch’s work already has attracted interest from doctors with diabetic patients – especially those with feet prone to infection. “You want to monitor that closely and treat right away, so you don’t reach the point where infection is so extensive you have to amputate,” he says.<br />
<br />
Other researchers are developing different types of smart bandages, using pH sensors, for example, and temperature sensors. Goluch’s prediction: “In a few years, you’ll see an entire suite of sensors for early infection detection.”<br />
<br />
While my dad was recovering from his knee replacement, he had to take a fistful of pills each day at different times. Tracking those medications added to the post-surgery stress. When I saw my mom’s hand-drawn, check-marked matrix for my dad’s meds, I thought, “There must be a better way.” Months later, I learned about one: an ingestible sensor that detects when patients have taken their medicine.<br />
<br />
The sensor, manufactured by Proteus Digital Health, is encapsulated on the surface of the medication. It follows the basic principle of a potato battery: The sensor has copper and magnesium on either side, and when it gets wet, it sends an electrical signal. Each pill has a unique signal, detected by a sensor patch that adheres to the patient’s skin. “You could take 30 tablets all at once, and the system would separate out and identify all 30 of them,” says Don Cowling, the company’s senior vice president of commercial programs. The patch transmits the pill’s identifying signal (along with the exact time of detection) to a smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled device, allowing for online tracking.<br />
<br />
The patch also contains an accelerometer that can precisely determine a person’s body angle. “We do that to see how patients are sleeping at night,” Cowling tells me. “If you have congestive heart failure, you need to sleep at an angle or your lungs fill up with fluid. We also can see if patients are turning at night and when they get up.” Cowling knows of one man in California whose father has Alzheimer’s and lives in a UK nursing facility. From thousands of miles away, he can see whether his father is taking his medication and how he is sleeping.<br />
<br />
The ingestible sensor also helps doctors confirm what they already suspect: Many people don’t take their pills as directed. In one study, patients diagnosed with resistant hypertension received medication with the ingestible sensor. The result: About 80 percent of them didn’t have resistant hypertension after all – just a resistance to taking their pills. “Once they started taking their medication, their blood pressure was fine,” Cowling says.<br />
<br />
The ingestible-sensor system became available to the public in 2013, but only in limited areas (mainly the United Kingdom and California). That availability likely will increase in the next few years. Cowling says some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies have plans to produce pills with the sensors embedded inside (instead of encapsulated on their surface), and he expects to see those pills on the market in early 2015.<br />
<br />
The sensors also could solve a life-threatening pharmaceutical problem: counterfeit pills. According to estimates from the World Health Organization, as much as 30 percent of prescription drugs sold in developing countries are counterfeit. Such drugs thwart efforts to control deadly diseases such as AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria. In 2011, a World Health Organization survey found that 64 percent of antimalarial drugs in Nigeria were fake.<br />
<br />
The ingestible sensor may help prevent this. Because it gives each pill a coded signal, it could easily identify pills from specific pharmaceutical companies. Says Cowling: “I think we will look back in 20 years, and our grandkids will be amazed that we swallowed drugs without any indication of what they were or where they came from.”<br />
<br />
In 20 years, those kids also will marvel at how we guessed at so many things – when to apply sunscreen or check an athlete for head trauma. MC10, a health technology company based in Cambridge, Mass., aims to remove the guesswork with thin electronic devices that conform to the body. MC10’s stretchable electronics were developed by one of its cofounders, John Rogers, director of the materials research lab at the University of Illinois. (The stretchable-electronics work helped him earn a MacArthur Foundation “genius” grant in 2009.)<br />
<br />
In 2013, Reebok began selling a product called Checklight that uses MC10’s electronics. Designed to be worn under a helmet, Checklight is a skullcap with a small light at the base of the neck. The light indicates impact levels – yellow for moderate, red for severe. That’s made possible by the skullcap’s microprocessor, which uses an algorithm to make sense of gyroscope and accelerometer measurements. Checklight is not a concussion diagnostic tool, notes Elyse Winer, MC10’s manager of marketing and communications. But it does measure force and can signal whether an athlete should be assessed for head trauma. Players sometimes underestimate an impact’s severity or feel pressured to keep playing even if something feels wrong. With Checklight, athletes don’t need to ask for help – the visual cue does it for them.<br />
<br />
Checklight went through three years of testing, which included youth and professional athletes who wore the caps while playing football and other sports. Winer tells me that something unexpected happened when those athletes wore Checklight: It became a persuasive teaching tool, reinforcing the safety talk that players had heard from coaches. “Athletes don’t want to be taken out of the game,” she says. “To avoid triggering the light, they started tackling in a safer, smarter way.” – S.A.

<i><b>No Personal Privileges </b></i><br />
<br />
Frequently, friends ask whether Rotarians receive special business benefits from their Rotary membership. should Rotarians expect a special discount or some preferential service just because they are dealing with a fellow Rotarians?<br />
<br />
The answer is clear "no." The Rotary <i>Manual of Procedure</i> expressly states the Rotary position on this matter. the policy, originally approved by the RI Board of Directors in 1933, is that in business and professional relations "a Rotarian should not expect, and far less should he ask for, more consideration or advantages from a fellow Rotarian than the latter would give to any other business or professional associate with whom he has business relations." <br />
<br />
Over 50 years ago, the concept was expressed that "true friends demand nothing of one another, and any abuse of the confidence of friendship for profit is foreign to the spirit of Rotary."<br />
<br />
On the other hand, if new or increased business comes as the natural result of friendship created in Rotary, it is the same normal development which takes place outside of Rotary as well as inside, so it is not an infriingement on the ethics of Rotary membership.<br />
<br />
It is important to remember that the primary purpose of Rotary membership is to provide each memer with a unique opportunity to serve others, and membership is not intended as a means for personal profit or special privileges.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>CLIFF DOCHTERMAN BIOGRAPHY</b></i></span><br />
<br />
Cliff Dochterman’s professional life included 40 years in higher education administration – 20 years each at the University of California in Berkeley and at the University of Pacific in Stockton, California<br />
<br />
Most of us know him for his volunteer work for Rotary over the past 50 years. He has served in almost every Rotary assignment in the world. Here is a partial list:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Berkeley Rotary Club president (1963-64) [the Club's silver anniversary]</li>
<li>District 5160 Governor (1968-69)</li>

<br />
It has been said that Cliff has spoken before more Rotary Clubs than anyone in the world.<br />
<br />
Cliff is the author of the booklet, “<i>The ABCs of Rotary</i>”, which has been translated into more languages than any other Rotary publication. We use it to open every one of our meetings with the Rotary E-Club of the Caribbean, 7020 because of the enormous value of the information he provides.<br />
<br />
Cliff has had a lifetime association with the Boy Scouts of America and has received three of the organization’s highest honors – the Distinguished Eagle, Silver Antelope, and Silver Beaver. Cliff served as Chairman of Rotary’s Council on Legislation in 2001. He has received The Rotary Foundation’s Citation for Meritorious Service, the Distinguished Service Award and the Polio Plus Pioneer Award.<br />
<br />
In l992-93 he became the world President of Rotary International. He selected the theme, “Real Happiness Is Helping Others.” Cliff has been honored by the heads of state of dozens of countries for spreading good will and world understanding. <br />
<br />

<b><span style="color: blue;">SPEAKER - Kelly McGonigal - Stress</span></b><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Stress. It makes your heart pound, your breathing quicken and your forehead sweat. But while stress has been made into a public health enemy, new research suggests that stress may only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case. Psychologist Kelly McGonigal urges us to see stress as a positive, and introduces us to an unsung mechanism for stress reduction: reaching out to others.<br />
<br />
Kelly McGonigal translates academic research into practical strategies for health, happiness and personal success.<b><span style="color: blue;"> </span></b><br />
<br />
Stanford University psychologist Kelly McGonigal is a leader in the growing field of “science-help.” Through books, articles, courses and workshops, McGonigal works to help us understand and implement the latest scientific findings in psychology, neuroscience and medicine.<br />
<br />
Straddling the worlds of research and practice, McGonigal holds positions in both the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the School of Medicine. Her most recent book, The Willpower Instinct, explores the latest research on motivation, temptation and procrastination, as well as what it takes to transform habits, persevere at challenges and make a successful change.<br />
<br />
She is now researching a new book about the "upside of stress," which will look at both why stress is good for us, and what makes us good at stress. In her words: "The old understanding of stress as a unhelpful relic of our animal instincts is being replaced by the understanding that stress actually makes us socially smart -- it's what allows us to be fully human."<br />
<br />
"She is a leader driven by compassion and pragmatism." <br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>"Every Rotarian and Example to Youth" </b></i></span><br />
<br />
In much of the official literature of Rotary International relating to service to young people, a special slogan will be found - "Every Rotarian an Example to Youth."<br />
<br />
These words were adopted in 1949 by the Rotary International Board of Directors as an expression of commitment to children and youth in each community in which Rotary clubs exist. Serving young people has long been an important part of the Rotary program.<br />
<br />
Youth service projects take many forms around the world. Rotarians sponsor Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops, athletic teams, handicapped children's centers, school safety patrols, summer camps, recreation areas, safe driving clinics, county fairs, child care centers and children's hospitals. Many clubs provide vocational counseling, establish youth employment programs and promote use of the Four-Way Test. Increasingly, drug and alcohol abuse prevention projects are being supported by Rotarians.<br />
<br />
In every instance, Rotarians have an opportunity to be role models for the young men and women of their community. One learns to serve by observing others. As our youth grow to become adult leaders, it is hoped each will achieve that same desire and spirit to serve future generations of children and youth.<br />
<br />
The slogan accepted over 40 years ago is just as vital today. It is a very thoughtful challenge - "Every Rotarian an Example to Youth."<br />

Wolves were once native to the US' Yellowstone National Park -- until hunting wiped them out. But when, in 1995, the wolves began to come back (thanks to an aggressive management program), something interesting happened: the rest of the park began to find a new, more healthful balance. In a bold thought experiment, George Monbiot imagines a wilder world in which humans work to restore the complex, lost natural food chains that once surrounded us.<br />
<br />
In his book "Feral," George Monbiot advocates the large-scale restoration of complex natural ecosystems.<br />
<br />
In summer 2013, journalist and campaigner George Monbiot published Feral: Rewilding the Land, the Sea and Human Life. Part personal journal, part essay on natural science and wildlife (and on our own wild side), the book follows Monbiot's efforts to re-engage with nature. He shows how, by restoring and rewilding our damaged ecosystems on land and at sea, we can bring wonder back into our lives, and lays out a new, positive environmental vision, in which nature is allowed to find its own way. <br />
<br />
After studying zoology at Oxford, Monbiot worked for the BBC’s natural history unit, making investigative environmental programs, one of which won a Sony Award. He left the BBC to spend six wild years in the tropics. Investigating the Indonesian transmigration program, he walked and canoed across West Papua, becoming lost in the forest, eating insects and rats to stay alive and being stung almost to death by hornets.<br />
<br />
Investigating evictions in Brazil, he was beaten up by gunmen and nearly shot by military police. The radio program he made about his encounter with a police torturer in Maranhão was used for several years on the BBC’s health and safety training course - as an example of what not to do. Back in Britain, he founded the landrights campaign The Land Is Ours and started writing columns for the Guardian. His other books include Amazon Watershed, Captive State, The Age of Consent and Heat. <br />

Władysław "Wladek" Szpilman (5 December 1911 – 6 July 2000) was a Polish pianist and classical composer, of Jewish origin.<br />
<br />

<i><b>The President-elect Training Seminar (PETS) </b></i><br />
<br />
The bylaws of Rotary International require that the governor-nominee of each district, in cooperation with the current governor, in the early months of the year, schedule and conduct a training seminar for the incoming club presidents of the district. This two- or three-day Presidents-elect Training Seminar, commonly referred to by its acronym, PETS, is a motivational and leadership training sessions designed to prepare the future club presidents for the office they will assume on 1 July.<br />
<br />
Among the subjects covered are the implementation of the RI theme for the coming year as well as information about the new and continuing programs of RI. Time is also devoted to a review of district operations, planning club and district programs, and organizing other activities for the year ahead. How to prepare a budget, goal-setting, time management, and new ideas for club meetings are just some of the useful skills that club presidents-elect learn when they attend their district's PETS. In some areas of the world, the PETS is conduced as a joint multi-district event.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Long before sustainability became a buzzword, architect Shigeru Ban had begun his experiments with ecologically-sound building materials such as cardboard tubes and paper. His remarkable structures are often intended as temporary housing, designed to help the dispossessed in disaster-struck nations such as Haiti, Rwanda or Japan. Yet equally often the buildings remain a beloved part of the landscape long after they have served their intended purpose. (Filmed at TEDxTokyo.)<br /><br />Most people look at cardboard tubes and see something fit for the recycling bin. But architect Shigeru Ban turns them into beautiful buildings.</span><i><b> </b></i></span><br />
<br />
Shigeru Ban's architecture redefines aesthetics, space, structure and even the idea of permanence. In 1986, for the Alvar Aalto Exhibition near Tokyo, Ban experimented with constructing a building from long paper tubes, the kind found at textile factories. The tubes ended up being much stronger than he had imagined, and were easier to waterproof and fireproof than he had guessed. Ban created many experimental buildings in this vein -- from the Japanese Pavilion at Expo 2000 in Germany, which was meant to be recycled upon demolition, and an office for himself and his students set atop the Pompidou Centre in Paris, where they worked for six years.<br />
<br />
But Ban's unusual designs have found another use -- as emergency shelters for those who have lost their homes in disasters and wars. In 1994, Ban created shelters for refugees in Rwanda. The next year, after an earthquake in Japan, he rebuilt a local church out of paper tubes that became a local fixture for 10 years. His designs -- both low-cost, and dignity-building -- have housed those affected by disasters in Taiwan, China, Haiti, Turkey and Sri Lanka. He also helped develop a shelter system after the Japanese tsunami of 2011.<br />
<br />
The founder of Shigeru Ban Architects, Ban has received many awards, including the Architectural Institute of Japan Prize. He currently teaches at Kyoto University of Art and Design.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>YOUTH EXCHANGE </b></i></span><br />
<br />
Rotary Youth Exchange is one of Rotary's most popular programs to promote international understanding and develop lifelong friendships. It began in 1927 with the Rotary Club of Nice, France. In 1939, an extensive Youth Exchange was created between California and Latin America. Since then, the program has expanded around the world. In recent years, more than 7,000 young people have participated annually in Rotary-sponsored exchange programs.<br />
<br />
the values of Youth Exchange are experienced not only by the high school-age students involved, but also by the host families, sponsoring clubs, receiving high schools and the entire community. Youth Exchange participants usually provide their fellow students in their host schools with excellent opportunities to learn about customs, languages, traditions, and family life in another country.<br />
<br />
Youth Exchange offers young people interesting opportunities and rich experiences to see another part of the world. Students usually spend a full academic year abroad, although some clubs and districts sponsor short-term exchanges of several weeks or months.<br />
<br />
Approximately 36 per cent of Rotary Youth Exchange students are hosted or sent by the clubs in the United States and Canada. european countrise account for about 40 per cent, and 12 per cent come from Australia and New Zealand.<br />
<br />
Asian clubs sponsor 5 per cent, and 7 per cent come form Latin American countries. Over 70 per cent of all Rotary districts participate in Youth Exchange activities.<br />

<h1 class="title">
Definitions and symptoms</h1>
As the malaria parasites enter the blood stream they infect and
destroy red blood cells. Destruction of these essential cells leads to
fever and flu-like symptoms, such as chills, headache, muscle aches,
tiredness, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. These initial symptoms are
non-specific: in other words, they are self-reported symptoms that do
not indicate a specific disease process.<br />
<h4>
Uncomplicated malaria (can be caused by all strains of Plasmodium)</h4>
Malaria is considered uncomplicated when symptoms are present but
there are no clinical or laboratory signs to indicate severity or vital
organ dysfunction.<sup>2</sup> The symptoms of uncomplicated malaria are non-specific and include fever.<br />
<h4>
Severe malaria (only caused by <i>P. falciparum</i>)</h4>
Infection with <i>P. falciparum</i>, if not promptly treated, can
quickly progress to severe malaria. The main symptoms of severe malaria
include: coma, severe breathing difficulties, low blood sugar, and low
blood haemoglobin (severe anaemia). It is diagnosed on the basis of the
presence <i>P. falciparum</i> parasites and one of the above symptoms
with no other obvious cause. Children are particularly vulnerable since
they have little or no immunity to the parasite. If untreated, severe
malaria can lead to death.<br />

Cerebral malaria (only caused by <i>P. falciparum</i>)</h4>
Malaria is classified as cerebral when it manifests with cerebral symptoms, such as coma.<br />

<i><b>District Assembly </b></i><br />
<br />
In view of the annual turnover of Rotary leadership each year, special effort is required to provide the 32,000 club leaders with appropriate instruction for the tasks they will assume. The annual district assembly is the major leadership training event in each Rotary district of the world.<br />
<br />
The district assembly offers motivation, inspiration, Rotary information and new ideas for club officers, directors, and key committee chairmen of each club. Some of the most experienced district leaders conduct informative discussions on all phases of Rotary administration and service projects. the assembly gives all participants valuable new ideas to make their club more effective and interesting. usually eight to ten delegates from each club are invited to attend the training session.<br />
<br />
Another important feature of a district assembly is a review by the incoming district governor of the program theme and emphasis of the new RI president for the coming year. district goals and objects are also described and plans are developed for their implementation.<br />
<br />
The success of each Rotary club is frequently determined by the club's full representation and participation in the annual district assembly.<br />

rescue us from our technological distractions.<br />

Now he shows how travel can rescue us from our technological distractions.Acclaimed travel writer Pico Iyer began his career documenting a neglected aspect of travel -- the sometimes surreal disconnect between local tradition and imported global pop culture. Since then, he has written ten books, exploring also the cultural consequences of isolation, whether writing about the exiled spiritual leaders of Tibet or the embargoed society of Cuba.<br />
<br />
Iyer’s latest focus is on yet another overlooked aspect of travel: how can it help us regain our sense of stillness and focus in a world where our devices and digital networks increasing distract us? As he says: "Almost everybody I know has this sense of overdosing on information and getting dizzy living at post-human speeds. Nearly everybody I know does something to try to remove herself to clear her head and to have enough time and space to think. ... All of us instinctively feel that something inside us is crying out for more spaciousness and stillness to offset the exhilarations of this movement and the fun and diversion of the modern world."<br />
<br />
"[Iyer] writes the kind of lyrical, flowing prose that could make Des Moines sound beguiling."<br />

Because we are an E-Club, getting together physically with other Rotarians is not always the easiest thing to do. However, we did take advantage of a visit from Assistant Governor, Rebecca Low, recently when she visited the island of Anguilla.<br />
<i><b> </b></i><br />
AG Rebecca, who resides in St. Maarten, took the opportunity to officially pin our E-Club Charter Member, Lou deLagran, during her time on the island.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>THE DISTRICT CONFERENCE </b></i></span><br />
<br />
<i> </i><br />
Most Rotarians have never attended a Rotary district conference. They have not experienced one of the most enjoyable and rewarding privileges of Rotary membership.<br />
<br />
A district conference is for <i>all</i> club members and their spouses, not just for club officers and committee members. The purpose of a district conference is for fellowship, good fun, inspirational speakers and discussion of matters which make one's Rotary membership more meaningful. Every person who attends a district conference finds that being a Rotarian becomes even more rewarding because of the new experiences, insights and acquaintances developed at the conference. Those who attend a conference enjoy going back, year after year.<br />
<br />
Every one of Rotary's districts has a conference annually. These meetings are considered so important that the Rotary International president selects a knowledgeable Rotarian as his personal representative to attend and address each conference. The program always includes several outstanding entertainment features, interesting discussions and inspirational programs.<br />
<br />
One of the unexpected benefits of attending a district conference is the opportunity to become better acquainted with members of one[s own club in an informal setting. Lasting friendships grow from the fellowship hours at the district conference.<br />

<br />
Months of heavy rains in the heart of the Peruvian rain forest had caused devastating flooding. It was April 2012, and the Amazon River and other waterways had submerged entire villages, forcing families to leave their belongings on the roofs of their homes and find higher ground. Many had to live on wooden planks or under tarps. The Rotary Club of Iquitos called on Rotary’s partner ShelterBox, which provides tents and other nonfood items in containers to people left homeless by disaster.<br />

Malcolm Shead, a volunteer from Llandeilo, Wales, was a member of the first ShelterBox response team to arrive. When he captured this image, he and colleague Rachel Simpkins (pictured) were on an overnight reconnaissance trip to the area of Los Amazonas.<br />
<br />
“At one point there were 10 to 15 kids crowding around,” Shead says. “These are all children of families who live throughout the rain forest and had to relocate to this small village. Municipal buildings, schools, churches -- everything had been turned into shelter for the families.”<br />
<br />
The Iquitos Rotarians worked with the ShelterBox volunteers, providing a translator, funding the transport of ShelterBoxes up the river, and assisting with logistical challenges. By the end of May 2012, ShelterBox had provided 171 containers to people in the area.<br />

<i><b>District Governor </b></i><br />
<br />
The Rotary District Governor performs a very significant function in the world of Rotary.<br />
<br />
He or she is the single officer of Rotary International in the geographic area called a Rotary district, which usually includes about 45 Rotary clubs. (District 7020 has about 85 clubs!)<br />
<br />
The district governors, who have been extensively trained at the worldwide International Assembly, provide the "quality control" for the 32,000 Rotary clubs of the world. they are responsible for maintaining high performance within the clubs of their district.<br />
<br />
The district governor, who must make an official visit to each club in the district, is never regarded as an "inspector general." Rather, he or she visits as a helpful and friendly adviser to the club officers, as a useful counselor to further the Object of Rotary among the clubs of the district, and as a catalysts to help strengthen the programs of Rotary.<br />
<br />
The district governor is a very experienced Rotarian who generously devotes a year to the volunteer task of leadership. The governor has a wealth of knowledge about current Rotary prorams, purposes, policies and goals and is a personof recognized high standing in his or her profession, community and Rotary club. The governor must supervise the organization of new clubs and strengthen existing ones. He or she performs a host of specific duties to assure that the quality of Rotary does not falter in the district, and is responsible to promote and implement all programs and activities of the Rotary International president and the RI Board of Directors. The governor plans and directs a district conference and other special events.<br />
<br />
Each district governor performs a very important role in the world-wide operations of Rotary. The district governor is truly a prime example of Service Above Self performing a labour of love.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>THE INTERNATIONAL ASSEMBLY </b></i></span><br />
<br />
An International Assembly is held each year during February or March to prepare all of the district governors-elect from around the world for the office they will assume on 1 July. Accompanied by their spouses, the incoming governors join a host of experienced Rotarian leaders for more than a week of training and motiational sessions. At the assembly, they meet the special Rotarian who will serve as RI president during their year as governors, and they learn the RI theme for the coming year around which they will buid their district's conference.<br />
<br />
The first International Assembly was held in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. in 1919. Later assemblies were held in Lake Placid, New York; oca Rato, Florida; and Nashville, Tennessee. In recent years, the assembly has been held in Anaheim, California. Regardless of the venue, the message on the sign above the plenary hall has remained unchanged for years: "Enter to learn...go forth to serve."<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Physician Gary Slutkin spent a decade fighting tuberculosis, cholera and AIDS epidemics in Africa. When he returned to the United States, he thought he'd escape brutal epidemic deaths. But then he began to look more carefully at gun violence, noting that its spread followed the patterns of infectious diseases. A mind-flipping look at a problem that too many communities have accepted as a given. We've reversed the impact of so many diseases, says Slutkin, and we can do the same with violence. (Filmed at TEDMED.)<br /><br />Could our culture have misdiagnosed violence? As the director of the initiative Cure Violence, Gary Slutkin approaches gunfire on neighborhood streets as a contagious disease, looking to science and public health for strategies to stop it.</span><i><b> </b></i></span><br />
<br />
Gary Slutkin is an epidemiologist, an innovator in violence reduction, and the Founder/Executive Director of Cure Violence, formerly known as CeaseFire. As a physician, he began his career working in Somalian refugee camps, where tuberculosis and cholera epidemics flared up regularly. He went on to work for the World Health Organization on reversing epidemics, supporting Uganda’s AIDS program which helped the country reversed the course of the disease. Upon returning to the United States, it occurred to him: could gun violence function like an epidemic? And could it be fought, and even stopped, using the principles of public health?<br />
<br />
Slutkin has applied the lessons learned over a decade of fighting epidemics to the creation of Cure Violence, a public health approach that has been statistically validated by two independent evaluations by the Department of Justice and Centers for Disease Control. Cure Violence has been called a "pioneering violence reduction model" and its methods have received nods from the Institute of Medicine and the U.S. Conference of Mayors. The program is being replicated at more than 50 sites in 15 U.S. cities, as well as in many countries abroad.<br />
<br />
Dr. Sultkin is an Ashoka Fellow, a Professor of Epidemiology and International Health at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and a senior advisor to the World Health Organization.<br />

A Sarnia high school student is helping turn a dangerous online drinking game into a chain of good deeds across the community.<br />
<br />
<i>Dan Stewart, 17, of Sarnia, Ont., shows a still image from his Good Deed Nek Nomination video Thursday, March 6, 2014. Instead of crafting an alcohol-fuelled stunt like other Nek Nomination videos, the St. Patrick's student paid for orders at Tim Hortons, visited a nursing home and donated pet toys to the local humane society on tape. (BARBARA SIMPSON, The Observer)</i><br />
<br />
When Dan Stewart first received a “NekNomination” – an online game where young adults chug alcohol in a dangerous way and post a video of it on Facebook – he knew he didn't want to emulate some of the stunts he had seen online.<br />
<br />
“I didn't think that's cool,” he said from his home Thursday. “Someone was shotgunning a beer and then another one. It was lame.”<br />
<br />
Some examples of “NekNominated” videos include a young man drinking or “necking” beer from a toilet while his friends hold him upside down and even a man doing the splits between two moving vehicles after he has had a drink.<br />
<br />
The “NekNomination” game recently led to the deaths of two British men who collapsed after downing booze, according to media reports.<br />
<br />
Instead of joining the craze, Stewart followed his friend Meghan Bond's lead by creating a Good Deeds “NekNomination” video.<br />
<br />
In the 10-minute video, Stewart and Bond visit several Tim Hortons drive-thrus to purchase other customers' orders, donate pet toys to the Sarnia & District Humane Society, and pass out carnations to residents of Trillium Villa Nursing Home.<br />
<br />
By the time the pair finished their visit with seniors, Stewart said he was overwhelmed by the experience of seeing residents' faces light up at the simple gesture of handing out flowers.<br />
<br />
“We made one woman cry and that almost made me tear up,” the 17-year-old St. Patrick's student said.<br />
<br />
Nursing home residents weren't the only ones who appreciated his acts of kindness.<br />
<br />
“When I bought something for someone at Tim Hortons, I had someone pull up at an intersection and wave at me,” he said. “That made my day.”<br />
<br />
Stewart's acts of generosity aren't over yet. His family is donating 25 cents for every “like” his video receives on Facebook to the Kids Help Phone.<br />
<br />
“It was originally going to come out of my pocket, but I didn't think I would have a lot of people watch a 10-minute video instead of the usual one-minute (“NekNominated”) video,” Stewart added.<br />
<br />
As of Thursday afternoon, his video had received more than 400 likes and 70 shares on Facebook. He has “NekNominated” – or tagged on Facebook – several of his friends to do their own Good Deeds videos.<br />
<br />
An Owen Sound friend recently followed in Stewart's footsteps by filming himself passing out Tim Hortons coffees to people at a homeless shelter.<br />
<br />
His father Doug, who organizes the local Kids Help Phone Walk, said he is proud of his son and his friends who have stepped up to the plate to help with a variety of community initiatives.<br />
<br />
“I've watched (the video) four times and I cry each time I watch it,” he said.<br />
<br />
While Stewart spent close to $200 buying coffee, pet toys and flowers, he said he doesn't want to focus on the money aspect of the video.<br />
<br />
He instead wants to inspire other young people regardless of their access to money to do a kind act to bring a smile to a person's face.<br />
<br />
“It doesn't take much to do a good thing instead of a bad thing,” he added.<br />

<i><b>Honorary Membership </b></i><br />
<br />
"Honorary" is one of the types of membership a person may have in a Rotary club. This type of membership is the highest distinction a Rotary club can confer and is exercised only in exceptional cases to recognize an individual for unusual service and contributions to Rotary and society.<br />
<br />
An honorary member is elected for one year only, and continuing membership must be renewed annually.<br />
<br />
Honorary members cannot propose new members to the club, do not hold office and are exempt from attendance requirements and club dues.<br />
<br />
Many distinguished heads of state, explorers, authors, musicians, astronauts and other public personalities have been honorary members of Rotary clubs, including King Gustaf of Sweden, King George VI of England, King Badouin of Belgium, King Hassan III of Morocco, Sir Winston Churchill, humanitarian Albert Schweitzer, Charles Lindbergh, composer Jean Sibelius, explorer Sir Edmund Hillary, Thor heyerdahl, Thomas Edison, Walt Disney, Bob Hope, Dr. Albert Sabin, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and many of the presidents of the United States.<br />
<br />
Truly, those selected for honorary membership are those who have done much to further the ideals of Rotary.<br />

<b>Membership in Rotary International</b><br />
<b> </b> <br />
<i><b></b></i>If you asked a Rotarian if he or she belonged to Rotary International, the individual probably would look puzzled and answer, "Of course I'm a member of Rotary International." But in this instance, the confident Rotarian would be technically wrong. No Rotarian can be a member of Rotary International!<br />
<br />
The explanation of this apparent contradiction is simple. The constitutional documents of RI state that membership in Rotary International is limited to Rotary clubs. Over 32,000 Rotary clubs belong to the organization we call Rotary International.<br />
<br />
Rotary club is composed of persons with the appropriate qualifications of good character and reputation, a business or professional classification, and who serve in an executive or managerial capacity. The Rotarian belongs to a club - the club belongs to Rotary International.<br />
<br />
This technical distinction is not obvious or even known to most Rotarians and seldom does it create any problems or complications. It does explain, however, why the Rotary International Board of Directors places expectations upon and extends privileges to Rotary clubs, rather than to individual Rotarians. <br />
<br />
If someone asks if you belong to Rotary International, your most accurate answer would be, "No. I belong to a Rotary club." But I doubt if anyone would understand the difference, ir, in fact, would really care.<br />

<br />
The fight to eradicate polio symbolizes what global health is all about. To wipe the virus off the face of the earth, we have to reach virtually every single child with the polio vaccine. No matter who they are. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-CA; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">No matter where they
live.
</span><br />
<br />
However, not every child is lucky enough to be born in a country that is able to afford all the lifesaving vaccines. <br />
For example, until three years ago, children living in the poorest countries were not immunized against rotavirus and pneumonia, the two leading killers of children under five. This changed when an organization called the GAVI Alliance helped negotiate lower prices for these vaccines and started working with poor countries to introduce them into their routine immunization systems.<br />
<br />
In the battle to eradicate polio, every country in the world is using or has used the oral polio vaccine to get us to the threshold of eradication. But there is another effective polio vaccine – the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) – that will help us pass through that threshold. As part of the comprehensive plan to achieve a polio-free world by 2018, all countries are to introduce IPV by end of 2015 – prior to a phased removal of OPV. <br />
<br />
Until today, the world’s poorest countries hadn’t been able to introduce IPV into their routine immunization schedules because the cost of a single dose of the IPV vaccine was approximately 15-20 times more than a single dose of OPV. <br />
<br />
Thanks to a new arrangement announced last week, which was made in partnership among GAVI, our foundation and the pharmaceutical industry, a major barrier to global vaccination with IPV is erased now with the availability of IPV at a significantly-reduced price for the world’s poorest countries. <br />
<br />
GAVI is working together with the Global Polio Eradication Initiative to help these 73 poorest countries purchase and deliver these vaccines to all their children. This new collaboration between organizations created to work on routine immunization and polio eradication is symbolic of the fact that polio eradication will help us get better at global health in general. <br />
<br />
Success will mean more than just a world in which no child ever has to suffer from this debilitating disease. The lessons and resources from an effort that reaches almost every child will be applied to other major global health challenges, especially to making sure that all children are protected by all the lifesaving vaccines. <br />
<br />
This is a big step toward polio eradication—and a big step toward global health equity.<br />

Sacla' the Pesto Pioneers and Italian foodies favourite brand, served up a great surprise at John Lewis Foodhall from Waitrose and staged an impromptu Opera in the food aisles.<br />
<br />
They planted five secret opera singers who were disguised as casual shoppers and store staff amongst the groceries who broke into song bringing the foodhall to a standstill with a rousing rendition of the Italian classic Funiculì, Funiculà.<br />

Bernie Krause has been recording wild soundscapes -- the wind in the trees, the chirping of birds, the subtle sounds of insect larvae -- for 45 years.<br />
<br />
In that time, he has seen many environments radically altered by humans, sometimes even by practices thought to be environmentally safe. A surprising look at what we can learn through nature's symphonies, from the grunting of a sea anemone to the sad calls of a beaver in mourning.<br />
<br />
Bernie Krause's legendary soundscapes uncover nature’s rich sonic tapestry -- along with some unexpected results.<br />
<br />
With a stellar electronic music resumé including work with The Byrds, Stevie Wonder, and many others, Bernie Krause is assured a place in the pop culture canon. But Krause continues to make history by capturing the fading voices of nature: studying sonic interplay between species as they attract mates, hunt prey, and sound out their roles in the ecosystem.<br />
<br />
Krause’s recordings are not merely travelogues or relaxation tools -- they are critical barometers of global environmental health. His documents of vanishing aural habitats are a chilling reminder of shrinking biodiversity. As he tells the Guardian: "The fragile weave of natural sound is being torn apart by our seemingly boundless need to conquer the environment rather than to find a way to abide in consonance with it."<i><b> </b></i><br />

<i><b>Opportunities for Fellowship</b></i> <br />
<br />
Most Rotarians are successful professional and business executives because they hear opportunities knock and take advantage of them. Once a week, the opportunity for Rotary fellowship occurs at each club meeting, but not all members hear it knocking. (This includes our Wednesday HHH!)<br />
<br />
The weekly club meeting is a special privilege o Rotary membership. It provides the occasion to visit with fellow members, to meet visitors you have not known before, and to share your personal friendship with other members.<br />
<br />
Rotary clubs which have a reputation of being "friendly clubs" usually follow a few simple steps:<br />
<br />
First, members are encouraged to sit in a different seat or at a different table each week.<br />
<br />
Second, Rotarians are urged to sit with a member they may not know as well as their long-time personal friends.<br />
<br />
Third, members invite new members or visitors to join their table just by saying: "Come join us, we have an empty chair at this table."<br />
<br />
Fourth, members share the conversation around the table rather than merely eating in silence or talking privately to the person next to them.<br />
<br />
Fifth, Rotarians make a special point of trying to get acquainted with all members of the club by seeking out those they may not know.<br />
<br />
When Rotarians follow these five easy steps, an entirely new opportunity for fellowship knocks each week. Soon, Rotarians realize that warm and personal friendship is the cornerstone of every great Rotary club.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b></b></i></span><br />
<br />
Harry Ruggles was the fifth man to join Paul Harris in the conversations which led to the formation of the first Rotary club in Chicago in 1905.<br />
<br />
Harry was a fellow who enjoyed singing and this was a popular activity at the turn of the century. At an early meeting of the fledgling group, Harry jumped on a chair and urged everyone to join him in a song.<br />
<br />
Group singing soon became a traditional part of each Rotary meeting. The custom spread to many of the clubs in the United States and is still a popular activity in the Rotary meetings of such diverse countries as Australia, Japan, Nigeria, New Zealand and Canada. some clubs sing a national song as the formal opening of the meeting. Social singing, however, is seldom found in the Rotary clubs in Europe, South America and Asia.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b></b></i></span><br />
Scaremongers play on the idea that robots will simply replace people on the job. In fact, they can become our essential collaborators, freeing us up to spend time on less mundane and mechanical challenges.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Rodney Brooks points out how valuable this could be as the number of working-age adults drops and the number of retirees swells.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
He introduces us to Baxter, the robot with eyes that move and arms that react to touch, which could work alongside an aging population -- and learn to help them at home, too.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">MIT professor Rodney Brooks studies and engineers robot intelligence, looking for the holy grail of robotics: the AGI, or artificial general intelligence. For decades, we've been building robots to do highly specific tasks -- welding, riveting, delivering interoffice mail -- but what we all want, really, is a robot that can figure things out on its own, the way we humans do.<br /><br />Brooks realized that a top-down approach -- just building the biggest brain possible and teaching it everything we could think of -- would never work. What would work is a robot who learns like we do, by trial and error, and with many separate parts that learn separate jobs. The thesis of his work which was captured in Fast, Cheap and Out of Control,went on to become the title of the great Errol Morris documentary.<br /><br />A founder of iRobot, makers of the Roomba vacuum, Brooks now heads Rethink Robotics, whose mission is to apply advanced robotic intelligence to manufacturing and physical labor. Its first robot: the versatile Baxter. Brooks is affiliated with CSAIL, MIT's Computers Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.<br /> </span><br /><span style="color: black;"><br /></span></span><br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;"> "When I look out in the future, I can’t imagine a world, 500 years from now, where we don’t have robots everywhere."</span></span><br />

<i><b>From Rotary Today Magazine, a publication of RIBI</b></i><br />
<br />
<i>...by David Houghton, Membership Development and Retention Chairman</i><br />
<br />
This was a question that caught my eye as I read a weekly update of The Rotarian a few days ago.<br />
<br />
A group of Rotaract members and young Rotarians were asked to give comments on what it would take to turn today's young leaders into tomorrow's Rotarians. The group's answers were interesting, informative, and challenging. What follows is an abbreviated summary:<br />
<br />
<b>What do Rotarians need to understand about young people?</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>A major difference exists in the way we connect</li>
<li>Social media allows us not only to share meeting and project details, but also to communicate with clubs around the world</li>
<li>Our spirit of community service is no different from that of the older generation; we just have different methods</li>
<li>We're results-driven; we move quickly - some might think too quickly. We want to feel that our work has purpose and we get frustrated when our ideas are not considered.</li>
<li>The workplace has changed a lot</li>
<li>We're protective of our spare time and less willing to tolerate wasted time, like spending time in costly meetings, discussing information that could be shared through email.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<b>What have you found helpful in your communications with Rotary members?</b><br />
<br />
Some of the best Rotarians I've encountered has been genuine believers in the capabilities of young people. They are willing to throw their support behind me as a young club president, invest their time in explaining Rotary's nuances to me, and offer advice on everything from projects to finding the right people for leadership roles<br />
<br />
<b>There were other messages, and here are some of them:</b><br />
<ul>
<li>If you want to recruit younger members, you need to remember that Rotary has the power to make great leaders</li>
<li>It never, ever helps to talk down to us</li>
<li>We have a lot of energy and passion, and a burning desire to make a difference</li>
<li>Rotarians shouldn't be too critical of a young person trying a new approach. Be constructive.</li>
<li>Rotary provides an incredible vehicle for us to learn and grow and we're hungry for the wisdom and experience of older Rotarians</li>
</ul>
<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>A MUSICAL INTERLUDE</b></i></span><br />
<br />
<b>The Silence</b><br />
<br />
About six miles from Maastricht in the Netherlands lie buried 8,301 American soldiers who died in "Operation Market Garden" in the battles to liberate Holland in the fall and winter of 1944-45. Every one of the men buried in the cemetery as well as those in the Canadian and British military cemeteries has been adopted by a Dutch family who mind the grave, decorate, and keep alive the memory of the soldier they have adopted. It is even the custom to keep a portrait of "their" American soldier in a place of honor in their home.<br />
<br />
Annually on "Liberation Day" Memorial Services are held for "the men who died to liberate Holland." The day concludes with a concert. The final piece is always "Il Silenzio", a memorial piece commissioned by the Dutch and first played in 1965 on the 20th anniversary of Holland's liberation. It has been the concluding piece of the memorial concert ever since, <br />
<br />
This year the soloist was a 13 year old Dutch girl, Melissa Venema, backed by Andre Rieu and his orchestra (the Royal Orchestra of the Netherlands). This beautiful concert piece is based upon the original version of taps and was composed by Italian composer Nino Rossi.<br />
<br />
<br />
Beautiful and moving.<br />

<b>Invocations at Club Meetings </b><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>In many Rotary clubs, particularly in Judeo-Christian nations, it is customary to open weekly meetings with an appropriate invocation or blessing. Usually such invocations are offered without reference to specific religious denominations or faiths. <br />
<br />
Rotary policy recognizes that throughout the world, Rotarians represent many religious beliefs, ideas, and creeds. The religious beliefs of each member are fully respected, and nothing in Rotary is intended to prevent each individual from being faithful to such convictions.<br />
<br />
At international assemblies and conventions, it is traditional for a silent invocation to be given. In respect for all religious beliefs and in the spirit of tolerance for a wide variety of personal faiths, all persons are invited to seek divine guidance and peace "each in his own way." It is an inspiring experience to join with thousands of Rotarians in an international "silent prayer" or act of personal devotion. Usually, all Rotary International board and committee meetings begin with a few moments of silent meditation. In this period of silence, Rotary demonstrates respect for the beliefs of all members, who represent the religions of the world.<br />
<br />
Since each Rotary club is autonomous, the practice of presenting a prayer or invocation at club meetings is left entirely to the traditions and customs of the individual club, with the understanding that these meeting rituals always be conducted in a manner which will respect the religious convictions and faiths of all members. <br />
<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>ROTARY'S OFFICIAL DIRECTORY</b></i></span> <br />
<br />
How do you find out when the Rotary club meets in Toowoomba, Pondicherry or Recklinghausen?<br />
<br />
You simply turn to the <i>Official Directory</i> of Rotary International.<br />
<br />
The approximately 750-page annual publication is filled with current information about Rotarians, as well as the composition and Rotary clubs. The meeting day, time, and location of every one of the more than 32,000 clubs are listed. From the club of Aabenraa, Denmark, to Zwolle, Netherlands, the <i>Official Directory</i> provides the name and address of each club president and secretary, as well as the number of club members and charter date.<br />
<br />
The <i>Official Directory</i> also records a wealth of information about the more than 500 Rotary districts as well as the composition and purpose of all official Rotary committees. Included are names and addresses of the current RI Board of Directors ad all previous boards. There is a list of all past RI presidents with a review of their themes.<br />
<br />
An excellent directory of hotels around the world is an added feature.<br />
<br />
The <i>Official Directory</i> can be obtained from the RI world Headquarters in Evanston, Illinois. It is a perfect guidebook for making Rotary contacts when you travel.<br />
<br />
By the way, Toowoomba meets every Monday at 6:00, Pondicherry on Wednesdas at 7:45 and Recklinghauses on Mondays at 1:00.<br />
<br />
Now, that's good to know<br />

<br />
A refugee now living in the US, Joseph Kim tells the story of his life in North Korea during the famine years. He's begun to create a new life -- but he still searches for the family he lost.<br />
<br />
Joseph Kim escaped alone from North Korea at the age of 16, first to China and then to the United States. <br />
<br />
Joseph Kim is from the northern region of North Korea. Growing up during the great famine of the 1990s, at the age of 12 Joseph saw his father starve to death, his mother disappear and his sister flee to China to search for food. In 2006, when he was 16, he decided to make the dangerous escape alone out of North Korea to look for food -- and for his sister. While hiding in China, he met a Korean-Chinese grandmother who protected and fed him until he found help from Liberty in North Korea (LiNK), a NGO that provided more stabilized shelter and later helped him to escape to the United States.<br />
<br />
Joseph arrived in the U.S. in 2007 as a refugee. He is now in college studying international business. He is still searching for his sister.<br />

In 1985, architect Paul Pholeros was challenged by the director of an Aboriginal-controlled health service to "stop people getting sick" in a small indigenous community in south Australia.<br />
<br />
The key insights: think beyond medicine and fix the local environment. In this sparky, interactive talk, Pholeros describes projects undertaken by Healthabitat, the organization he now runs to help reduce poverty--through practical design fixes--in Australia and beyond. (Filmed at TEDxSydney.) <br />
<br />
Paul Pholeros is a director of Healthabitat, a longstanding effort to improve the health of indigenous people by fixing their living environment and housing. <br />
<br />
"Change comes slowly," says architect Paul Pholeros. He should know; he has spent the last 30 years working on urban, rural, and remote architectural projects throughout his native Australia and beyond. In particular, he is focused on improving the living environments of the poor, understanding that environment plays a key and often overlooked role in health.<br />
<br />
An architect himself, Pholeros met his two co-directors in the organization Healthabitat in 1985, when the three were challenged by Yami Lester, the director of a Aboriginal-controlled health service in the Anangu Pitjatjantjara Lands in northwest South Australia, to "stop people getting sick." The findings from that project have guided their thinking ever since, as Pholeros and his partners work to improve sanitation, connect electricity, and provide washing and water facilities to indigenous communities. Above all, the teams focus on engaging these local communities to help themselves--and to pass on their skills to others. In this way, a virtuous circle of fighting poverty is born.<br />
<br />
Since 2007, Healthabitat has expanded its work beyond Australia, working on similar projects in the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal. In 2011, the firm was awarded the international UN Habitat and Building and Social Housing Foundation's World Habitat Award, and a Leadership in Sustainability prize from the Australian Institute of Architects. In 2012, Healthabitat was one of the six Australian representatives at the Venice International Architectural Biennale.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Paul Pholeros is an architect specifically honoured for his 30 years' work in indigenous housing. His firm, Healthabitat, set up in 1987 with the medic Paul Torzillo and the public health officer Stephan Rainow, does not build new houses but simply “fixes” ones that are not working. They have developed a testing kit that fits in a suitcase, a preferred list of robust, low-maintenance appliances and a standard set of tools, so that local people can be trained in the work. In the past decade they have fixed 6500 houses across remote Australia and a new two-year contract covers 600 more. So you'd have to say he's across the issue."</i></blockquote>

<i><b>Vocational Service </b></i><br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Programs of vocational service are those which seek to improve business relations while improving the quality of trades, industry, commerce and the professionals. Rotarians understand that each person makes a valuable contribution to a better society through daily activities in a business or profession.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Many recognize the dignity of employment by honouring exemplary service of individuals working in their communities. The Four-Way Test and other ethical and laudable business philosophies are often promoted among young people etering the world of work.<br />
<br />
Vocational talks and discussion of business issues are also typical vocational service programs at most clubs.<br />
<br />
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."<br />
<br />
That's why the Second Avenue of Service is fundamental to every Rotary club.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>PAUL HARRIS FELLOW RECOGNITION HISTORY</b></i></span><br />
<br />
The Paul Harris Fellow recognition acknowledges individuals who
contribute, or who have contributions made in their name, of US$1,000 to
The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International.<br />
<br />
It was established in 1957 to show appreciation for and encourage
substantial contributions to what was then the Foundation’s only
program, Rotary Foundation Fellowships for Advanced Study, the precursor
to Ambassadorial Scholarships.<br />
<br />

The first Paul Harris Fellows include 1937-38 RI Director Allison G.
Brush and longtime RI Treasurer Rufus F. Chapin, both for donations they
made in 1946. Mrs. Adan Vargas was the first woman to receive the
recognition, for a gift made in 1953. Mrs. Harry L. Jones was the
second, and one of only five people recognized for contributions made in
1957.<br />
<br />
Early Paul Harris Fellows received a certificate of recognition. In
1969, the Foundation unveiled the first Paul Harris Fellow medallion at
the RI Convention in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA. Japanese metal artist Fiju
Tsuda created the piece under the direction of then-past Foundation
Trustee Kyozo Yuasa. Today, Paul Harris Fellows receive a certificate
and pin. They are also eligible to purchase a Paul Harris Fellow
medallion.<br />
<br />
Rotarians have a tradition of supporting the Foundation by honoring
others. Ida LeTulle Taylor became a Paul Harris Fellow in 1978 when her
husband, then-District Governor Vann Taylor, made a donation in her name
in honor of their 34th wedding anniversary. The gift also made her the
25,000th Paul Harris Fellow.<br />
<br />
At the International Assembly in 1979, then-RI President-elect James
Bomar challenged each Rotary club to make one non-Rotarian a Paul Harris
Fellow. The Rotary Club of Pikesville, Maryland, USA, responded by
making a donation in the name of Mother Teresa in 1980. The entertainer
Pearl Bailey also became a Paul Harris Fellow through a joint effort of
the Rotary clubs in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.<br />
<br />
Many other notable figures have been named as Paul Harris Fellows,
including U.S. President Jimmy Carter, Russian President Boris Yeltsin,
U.S. astronaut James Lovell, UN Secretary-General Javier Perez de
Cuellar, and Jonas Salk.<br />
<br />
The number of Paul Harris Fellows reached the one million mark in 2006. <br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>ROTARY ANNS</b></i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
In many Rotary clubs throughout the world, wives of male members are affectionately called "Rotary Anns." This designation was never one of disparagement, but rather grew out of the an interesting historical occasion.<br />
<br />
The year was 1914 when San Francisco Rotarians boarded a special train to attend the Rotary convention being held in Houston. In those days, few wives attended Rotary events, and until the train stopped in Los Angeles, the only woman aboard was the wife of Rotarian Bru Brunnier. As the train picked up additional convention-bound delegates, Mrs. Ann Brunnier was introduced as the Rotarian's Ann. This title soon became "Rotary Ann."<br />
<br />
Since the lubs of the West were inviting the Rotarians to hold their next convention in San Francisco, a number of songs and stunts were organized which would be performed in Houston. One of the Rotarians wrote a "Rotary Ann" chant.<br />
<br />
On the train's arrival at the Houston depot, a delegration greeted the West Coast Rotarians. One of the greeters was Guy Gundaker of Philadelphia, whose wife was also named Ann. During the rousing demonstration, someone started the Rotary Ann chant. The two petite ladies, Ann Brunnier and Ann Gundaker, were hoisted to the men's shoulders and paraded about the hall. The group loved the title given to the two women named Ann.<br />
<br />
Immediately, the same term of endearment was used for all of the wives in attendance, and the name "Rotary Ann" was here to stay.<br />
<br />
Guy Gundaker became president of Rotary International in 1923 and Bru Brunnier was elected president in 1952. Thus, each of the two original Rotary Anns became the "first lady of Rotary International."<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>WHAT PEACE?</b></i></span><br />
<br />
Peace in a social sense includes not only an absence of hostilities, violence, and harsh and hateful feelings but also the presence of at least a reasonable degree of fairness. It is more complete and enduring when it includes harmonious relations and even a condition of mutual concern, goodwill, friendship and love in which members of a community actively and constantly promote one another’s good. At its best, peace includes conditions that allow for full development of the human spirit and potential.<br />
<br />
Peace is characterized by the existence of peaceful social and cultural beliefs and norms. It is a dynamic process – a process of resolving conflict – a process of becoming – a process that requires effort individually and collectively. Peace is strongest when built upon a widely-accepted morality of peace and endures only if a society wills it.<br />
<br />
In our own lives, peace includes a growing tranquility that can exist even in the midst of turmoil by moving ever closer to harmony with the Ultimate Source.<br />
<br />
We envision a peace where every child can live free of violence and deprivation of the necessities of life – where each can experience love and the opportunity for full flowering of the human spirit and of finding inner peace. It doesn’t have to be perfect peace or happen all at once, but the more we collectively (including specifically you) can move the world in that direction, the better.<br />

<i><b>Tolerance of Differences</b></i><br />
<br />
Occasionally, there is a temptation to criticize the laws customs and traditions of another country which may seem strange or contrary to our own. In some instances, illegal practices or customs of one nation are completely lawful and acceptable in another.<br />
<br />
As members of an international organization dedicated to world understanding and peace, it behooves Rotarians to exercise restraint in judging our rotary friends and citizens from other countries when their behaviour seems unusual to us.<br />
<br />
A Rotary policy has existed for more than half a century relating to this dilemma of international relationships.<br />
<br />
The statement, adopted in 1933, says that because it is recognized that some activities and local customs may be legal and customary in some countries and not in others, rotarians shoul dbe guided by this admonition of tolerance:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"Rotarians in all countries should recognize these facts and there should be a thoughtful avoidance of criticism of the laws and customs of one country by the Rotarians of another country."</i></blockquote>
<br />
The policy also cautions against "<i>any effort on the part of Rotarians of one country to interfere with the laws or customs of another country.</i>" <br />
<br />
As we strive to strengthen the bonds of understanding, goodwill and friendship, these policies still provide good advice and guidance.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>UNUSUAL MAKE-UP MEETINGS</b></i></span><br />
<br />
Which Rotarians have to travel farthest for a make-up meeting?<br />
<br />
If you guessed the 34 members of the Rotary Club of Papeete, Tahiti, which is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, you are right. It is the club that is most remote from any other.<br />
<br />
The southernmost Rotary meeting is that of the Rotary Club of Punta Arenas, Chile, on the tip of South America.<br />
<br />
To visit the northernmost club, you must travel above the Arctic Circle to the Rotary Club of Nordkapp, Norway.<br />
<br />
If you attend the El Aguilar Club in Argentina, you are meeting with the highest club in the world at 16,000 feet (4,880 meters) above sea level.<br />
<br />
The lowest club meets at 40 feet below sea level at El Centro, California, U.S.A.<br />
<br />
It is said that there is a Rotary meeting being held someplace in the world every hour of every day of the year. If you attended one meeting per day, it would take 75 years or more to visit all of the more than 32,000 Rotary clubs in the world, and by that time, no doubt, there would be thousands more new clubs to attend.<br />
<br />

Did You Know?...........<br />
<br />
The tradition of singing at Rotary club meetings began in 1905 with Rotarian Harry L. Ruggles, of the Rotary Club of Chicago. New Rotary clubs formed, and the practice of singing at club meetings caught on.<br />
<br />
Ruggles's company published an unofficial Book of Songs -- a collection of patriotic tunes, familiar standards, and Rotary songs (many penned by Rotarians) -- to help clubs make singing a regular part of their meetings.<br />
<br />
The first official edition of Ruggles's songbook, Songs for the Rotary Club , was published in 1920 and provided lyrics only. Editions with musical notation appeared in 1925.<br />

<i><b>Exchange of Club Banners </b></i><br />
<br />
One of the colorful traditions of many Rotary clubs is the exchange of small banners, flags or pennants. Rotarians traveling 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.<br />
<br />
The Rotary International board recognized the growing popularity of the banner exchange back in 1959 and suggested that those clubs whih partiicpate 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 protray the territorial area of the club.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
Exchanging club banners is a very pleasant custom, especially when a creative and artistic anner tells an interesting story of community pride.<br />
<br />
The exchange of banners is a significant tradition of Rotary and serves as a tangible symbol of our international fellowship.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>NON-ATTENDANCE RULES</b></i></span><br />
<br />
The Rotary Club Constitution specifies three conditions under which a Rotarian's membership will automatically be terminated for non-attendance.<br />
<br />
These circumstances are (a) failure to attend or make up four consecutive club meetings (b) failure to attend at least 30 per cent of the meetings of one's own club in each six-month period and (c) failure to attend or make up 50 per cent of club meetings each six months.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 constitution rules merely emphasize that Rotary is a <i>participatory</i> organization which highlly values regular attendance.<br />
<br />
When a member is absent, the entire club loses the personal association with that members. Being present at a club meeting is considered a vital part of the operation and success of every Rotary Club.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />

<br />
Formal welcome to our Charter Gala Celebration!<br />
<br />
Welcome to the regular meeting of the Rotary E-Club of the Caribbean, 7020. My name is Kitty Bucsko, and I am the charter president of this excellent club! But this is not quite a regular meeting. This week, we celebrate our Charter with a very special meeting. <br />
<br />
This day is finally here – and it’s been a long time coming. It is a significant milestone in the life of Rotary. District 7020 – already a very progressive district – will be leading the way –– with a tremendously active and vibrant, welcoming and caring Rotary E-Club.<br />
<br />
We know that membership is an important part of Rotary. It is our goal to ensure that each member of our E-Club will be engaged. That each member of our E-Club will know without question that he or she is a very important part of Rotary, and a very important part of our Rotary E-Club.<br />
<br />
Fellowship is also important, and we are doing very well so far engaging our members with fellowship at our Happy Hour Hangouts! <br />
<br />
Our E-Club and our members have many advantages over other Rotary Clubs. Our members can attend our meetings at any time during the week, at any time that is convenient for each one of us. <br />
<br />
Our members can be vital contributors to the global Rotary community even if we travel – because we make our meetings very easy to attend.<br />
<br />
Our members can experience fellowship with other like-minded Rotarians who are located in many areas of the globe. The common bond we have is the humanitarian interest in District 7020 and the 10 countries that comprise our district.<br />
<br />
The World as we know it is constantly changing through technology. Technology plays a very important role in our everyday lives – and through our E-Club, we are able to stay up to date with current technology – much moreso than perhaps is possible in the traditional clubs. <br />
<br />
We can connect with our own members who may live at a great distance from us – and that allows us very much to share in a world that every day seems to grow smaller. Our neighbours are now our close friends – our neighbours in other countries are now our close friends because we are living in the 21st Century. Our Rotary E-Club is taking advantage of all of the best resources to Engage Rotary and to Change Lives.<br />
<br />
No longer do we have to wonder what happens in another part of the world. Today, connecting with the other side of the world is often just a click away – and we can be there. We can attend Rotary meetings in other parts of the world – and we can do that because we are an E-Club.<br />
<br />
The future is bright. I hope that every single member of our E-Club feels shares that same view, that same warm feeling, and that same enthusiasm for what we have accomplished, and what we will continue to accomplish within our E-Club. We can truly make a difference. We are leading the way today, and we will continue to lead the way in the future as we serve Rotary.<br />
<br />
<br />
We will become better with each passing week. We are becoming better. We then can begin to get bolder – seeking out innovative ways to make our mark in the Rotary world – and then we can become a larger and more vibrant club. We will be able to change lives within District 7020 and beyond!<br />
<br />
I wish every single one of our members happiness, great satisfaction, and success in all that you do for Rotary. <br />

At
the third meeting of the Board of Directors of R.I. in 1999-2000 (November 1 through November 5, 1999), the Board selected an arrangement from the "march" of
the Overture to "Egmont" Op. 84 by Ludwig van Beethoven, as the Rotary
anthem, which can be played at appropriate occasions, such as flag
ceremonie<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>s (and at our E-Club Charter Gala!)</b></i></span> <br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>PLANNING FOR A LONGEVITY IN OUR ROTARY E-CLUB </b></i></span><br />
<br />
A group of E-Club Rotarians meet to discuss where they should hold their very special Charter Celebration Gala. They decide that they should all get together in the traditional way to celebrate and PDG Diana stresses the importance of this get-together to promote their friendship and fellowship. They decide that the Gausthof zum Lowen restaurant is appropriate because all of the waiters and waitresses provide an exceptionally good service and the food is good.<br />
<br />
10 years later, they meet to discuss where they should hold their 10th Reunion dinner and Devorath suggests that they should meet at the Gausthof zum Lowen restaurant because they had such a good time at the Charter Gala.<br />
<br />
10 years later, for their 20th Reunion, the group meets again to decide where they should celebrate and they again agree to meet at the Gausthof zum Lowen because the food there is still very good, and Amarylis continues to recommend their wine selection.<br />
<br />
A decade later, for their 30th, they once again choose the Gasthof zum Lowen because they can eat there in peace and quiet and the restaurant is also smoke free.<br />
<br />
10 years later, at the 40th, once again they discuss where they should gather, and surprise! They all agree on the Gausthof zum Lowen because the restaurant is wheel-chair accessible and they also have an elevator.<br />
<br />
10 years later, the remaining members meet to celebrate 50 years in Rotary. They again discuss where they should meet for dinner. Finally it is agreed that they should dine at the Gausthof zum Lowe because they've never been there before.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>POLIOPLUS UPDATE </b></i></span><br />
<br />
What follows is updated Rotary Foundation and PolioPlus information provided by our District Rotary Foundation Chair (DRFC) Lindsey Cancino.<br />
<br />
<br />
Good News (all based on information through mid-December):<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Zero new cases of Type 3 polio in the world this year - first time ever. </li>
<li>In endemic countries - -down 45% to 135 cases.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<i><b>Challenges</b></i><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Non-endemic countries up dramatically; 224 cases in 2013 vs. 5 at this time in 2012. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Importation of the disease in previously zero countries, particularly in Africa and the middle East, have created outbreaks. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Minor outbreaks (less than 20 cases in each country) in Ethiopia, Cameroon, Syria and Kenya. Major outbreak (which then contributed to the outbreaks in surrounding countries) in Somalia resulting in 183 cases<i><b>,</b></i> but none since July so the vaccination and containment efforts are paying off. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Pakistan remains a real concern also with the violence now aimed at Polio workers and the politicizing of the eradication. </li>
</ul>
<b>Very discouraging but we must not allow it to sway us.</b><br />
<br />
Polio was recently confirmed in Syria, a country that has been free of
this disabling and potentially fatal disease since 1999. In response,
health authorities in Syria and neighboring countries have launched
urgent, large-scale, multi-country immunization campaigns to ensure that
every child is reached with the polio vaccine.<br />
<br />
The situation in Syria is most tricky as instability of the situation there make efforts to contain and vaccinate difficult as well as dangerous. However, commitment to vaccinate 2 million children in the region is funded and underway and the Syrian government (however stable they may be) have committed to seeing it stopped so that is encouraging.<br />
<br />
Rotary and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative are working together with local health authorities to activate the outbreak response.<br />
<br />
Recent polio cases in previously polio-free countries serve as a stark reminder that as long as polio still exists, unimmunized children everywhere remain at risk. <br />
<br />
<b>Summary</b><br />
<br />
<b>Our</b> efforts continue to show major successes: <br />
<ul>
<li> First time ever we appear to be on the brink of only one strain of the virus in the world</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Even where there are outbreaks, rapid and concerted response supported by not only our group that have been trying to eradicate since 1988 but many governments around the world now joining the fight to ensure success in a very meaningful way. Even 5 years ago this would have been for us to solve on our own. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>If we can keep WPV 3 at zero, it means all efforts can be turned to WPV 1 only and with renewed moral and financial support from sovereign countries like Great Britain, Australia, USA, Canada and others, we can get this done. </li>
</ul>

<br />
Fellow Rotarians:<br />
<br />
Each one of you has been chosen to membership in the Rotary E-Club of the Caribbean, 7020 because your fellow members believe you to be a leader in your vocation and because you manifest those qualities of head and of heart which fit you to interpret and impart the message of Rotary to those with whom you come in contact.<br />
<br />
You are the representative of your vocation in this club and any contribution of an educational<br />
value pertaining to that vocation must naturally come to us through you. <br />
<br />
On the other hand, you become the ambassador from us to your classification, and it becomes your duty to carry the ideals and principles of service to your work.<br />
<br />
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and in particular, to encourage and foster:<br />
<br />
<b>First:</b> The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;<br />
<br />
<b>Second:</b> High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying by each Rotarian of his occupation as an opportunity to serve society;<br />
<br />
<b>Third:</b> The application of the ideal of service by every Rotarian to his personal, business and community life;<br />
<br />
<b>Fourth:</b> The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.<br />
<br />
I charge you to judge yourself by the Rotary Four-Way Test of the things you think, say or do:<br />
<br />
<b>First</b> - Is it the Truth?<br />
<b>Second</b> - Is it fair to all concerned?<br />
<b>Third</b> - Will it build goodwill and better friendships?<br />
<b>Fourth</b> - Will it be beneficial to all concerned?<br />
<br />
The community will know and judge Rotary through your embodiment of it in character and<br />
service, and we believe our principles and organization to be safe in your keeping.<br />
<br />
We also expect much from you in help and inspiration, which will enable us to be better Rotarians, and with this hope we most heartily offer you Rotary fellowship.<br />
<br />
Rotary - it's not just another club. It's a way of life. But, you have been elected to membership because we feel you will fit into this way of life.<br />
<br />
Membership in Rotary is an honor and privilege, and every privilege has its corresponding obligations. One of the special obligations of membership is regular attendance at the weekly meetings that are posted online. It is the basic method of fulfilling the principle of fellowship and also a way by which you represent your vocation.<br />
<br />
Every member is expected to perform his or her share of club and community service, and the committees of the club will afford you opportunities to give service. <br />
<br />
Last, but by no means least, is our ideal of friendship. As you expect to receive, please give. May you be stimulated by the friendship you find here, and may we in return know you to be an added<br />
source of strength to our club.<br />
<br />
Will the members please stand.<br />
<br />
It is my privilege and honor to formally induct each one of you into the Rotary E-Club of the Caribbean, 7020. I also have pleasure of presenting you with the Rotary pin - the emblem of our worldwide association. Wear it always and with pride.<br />
<br />
Fellow Rotarians, I charge you not to fail in your duty. Please share our friendship with one another and help each one of us to make our memberships useful and happy.<br />
<br />
Always remember Rotary's motto: “Service Above Self.”<br />
<br />
Congratulations to each one of you. <br />
<br />

Before we end the meeting, we extend to each and every one of you an invitation to join us at our Happy Hour Hangout on any Saturday morning - but especially Saturday, January 25 - to help us finish up our January Gala Celebrations!<br />
<br />
As an E-Club, we continue to actively recruit members who are inspired to do Rotary's good works, who want to be active in a viable Rotary club, who wish to make friends all over the world and particularly around District 7020, and who find it difficult - for personal reasons - to attend a traditional club on a regular basis.<br />
<br />
We will welcome you with open arms. Please contact us either through the club website contacts here or by sending the president an email - <i>kitty.bucsko@yahoo.ca or ladykitt@gmail.com</i><br />

<i><b>World Understanding Month - February</b></i><br />
<br />
The month of February is a very special month in the Rotary calendar since it is designated World Understanding Month. The month also includes the anniversary of the first meeting of Rotary held on February 23, 1905, now designated World Understanding and Peace Day.<br />
<br />
<br />
In designating World Understanding Month, the Rotary International Board asks all Rotary clubs to plan programs for their weekly meetings and undertake special activities to emphasize "understanding and goodwill as essential for world peace."<br />
<br />
To observe this designated month, many clubs arrange international speakers, invite youth exchange students and international scholars from schools and universities to club meetings, plan programs featuring former Group Study Exchange team members, arrange discussions on
international issues, present entertainment with an international cultural or artistic theme and schedule other programs with an international emphasis.<br />
<br />
Many clubs take the opportunity to launch an international community service activity or make contact with a Rotary club in another country. It is a good month to initiate a Rotary Fellowship Exchange, a 3-H project or encourage support for PolioPlus and other Rotary Foundation programs.<br />
<br />
World Understanding Month is a chance for every club to pause, plan, and promote the fourth Avenue of Service - Rotary's continued quest for goodwill, peace and understanding among people of the world.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>SPEAKER - A plastic world - and a possible solution</b></i></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">A Dutch teenager has invented a device that he claims could clean up some 20 billion tonnes of plastic waste from the world's oceans.<br /><br />Boyan Slat, 19, came up with the idea of a series of floating booms and processing platforms designed to collect floating plastic rubbish.<br /><br />The 'ocean cleanup' concept is designed to capture the floating plastic but allow life like fish and plankton to pass through unharmed, while saving the waste materials to be recycled.<br /><br />Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2415889/Boyan-Slat-19-claims-invention-clean-worlds-oceans-just-years.</span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
The engineering student believes that once operational, his device could dramatically reduce the amount of rubbish in the oceans in just five years time.<br />
<br />
Millions of tonnes of plastic debris are littering oceans and have accumulated in areas of high concentration called gyres - which are essentially floating rubbish tips.<br />
<br />
<br />
This litter directly kills millions of aquatic animals annually but also spreads and introduces harmful algae and invasive species as well as man-made pollutants into the food chain, costing governments and organisations millions of dollars to clean up every year, according to Mr Slat.<br />
<br />
While he believes humans must end their reliance on disposable plastic items and manage waste responsibly, his innovation could make a big difference to the cleanliness of oceans in the shorter-term.<br />
<br />
He proposes fixing sea water processors to the sea bed, which are also attached to the floating platform so that the water can move through them and generate energy.<br />
<br />
His concept also includes using floating booms instead of nets to cover vast areas of water effectively, while no mesh and a very low speed, means there will be 'virtually no by-catch' and unfortunate animals getting tangled in nets that are meant to help conserve their habitat.<br />

<i><b><span style="color: blue;">ROTARY AWARENESS - Let's become "Rotary aware"</span></b></i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">As Rotarians, we are welcomed at any Rotary Club throughout the world.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">January is Rotary Awareness month. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Let's all try to attend a <i><b>minimum of 3 meetings </b></i>at clubs outside of our own E-Club in the next few months. </span></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Find a local club near you.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Attend their meeting.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Introduce yourself as a member of the Rotary E-Club of the Caribbean, 7020</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Be prepared to tell a
little about the club - (1) how it operates (2) what our signature
project is (Butterfly Storybook (3) our next project, the International
PenPal partnership and (4) our TRF fundraiser</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Then, come back and tell us about your experience. Attending another club qualifies you for a make-up with your own club!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">For
example, when I am back home, I attend the Rotary Club of Parry Sound,
Ontario, Canada. I am always welcomed at their club as a regular
visitor - a visiting Rotarian. Those visits serve as make-ups, if I
need them.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Please make an effort to see how other clubs operate! Expand your Rotary family! </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>THE CLASSIFICATION PRINCIPLE</b></i></span><br />
<br />
Virtually all membership in Rotary is based upon a "classification." Basically, a classification describes the distinct and recognized business or professional service which the Rotarian renders to society.<br />
<br />
The principle of Rotary classification is somewhat more specific and precise. In determining the classification of a Rotarian, it is necessary to look at the "principal or recognized business or professional activity of the firm, company, or institution" with which an active member is connected or "that which covers his principal and recognized business or professional activity."<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;">It should be clearly understood that classifications are determined by activities or service to society rather than by the position held by a particular individual.</span><br />
<br />
In other words, if a person is the president of a bank, he ir she is not classified as "bank president" but under the classification "banking."<br />
<br />
It is the principal and recognized activity of a business or proessional establishment or the individual's principal and recognized business or professional activity that determines the classification to be established and loaned to a qualified person. For example, the permanently employed electrical engineer, insurance adjustor, or business manager of a railroad company, mining company, manufacturing concern, hospital, clinic, etc., may be considered for membership as a representative of the particular work he or she may be doing personally or as a representative of the firm, company, or institution for which the professional service is being done.<br />
<br />
The classification principle also permits business and industsries to be separated into distinct functions such as manufacturing, distributing, retailing, and servicing. Classifications may also be specified as distinct and independent divisions of a large corporation or university within the club's territory, such as a school of business or a school of engineering.<br />
<br />
The classification principle is a necessary concept in assuring that each Rotary club represents a cross-section of the business and professional service of the community.<br />

<br />
RI President-elect Gary C.K. Huang chose<i> Light Up Rotary </i>as his theme for 2014-15. Huang was inspired by the teachings of Chinese philosopher Confucious who said: "It is better to light a single candle, than to sit and curse the darkness."<br />
<br />
"There are so many problems in the world, so many people who need help. Many people say, 'There's nothing I can do.' So they sit there doing nothing. Meanwhile everything stays dark," Huang told the 537 district governors and their spouses and partners who are attending the 2014 International Assembly in San Diego, California.<br />
<br />
"The Rotary way is the Confucius way. The Rotary way is to light a candle. I light one, you light one, 1.2 million Rotarians light one. Together, we light up the world," said Huang, who is a member of the Rotary Club of Taipei in Taiwan.<br />
<br />
After announcing his theme at the opening session of the five-day training meeting, Huang urged club members to Light Up Rotary in the coming year by hosting a Rotary Day in their community and including local Rotaract and Interact members in their service projects.<br />
<br />
"How you Light Up Rotary is up to you," Huang said. "You know where you are strong, you know what your community needs, and you know how you can help."<br />
<br />
Huang also shared his membership development goals, including the need for more women and young adults and his goal to increase membership to a total of 1.3 million members. He asked Rotarians to invite their spouses, family members, and friends to join Rotary.<br />
<br />
"We need to assume leadership for building strong clubs, and that starts with bringing in new members," he said.<br />
<br />
Addressing the status of the fight against polio, Huang noted that with the current momentum Rotary is on track to achieve full polio eradication by 2018.<br />
<br />
"When we eradicate polio — and we will — we will have proved ourselves an organization capable of great things. And we'll be even better equipped for the next challenge we choose to take on. We'll have given the world a gift that will endure forever," he said.<br />
<br />
By continuing to fight against polio, setting an example in local communities, and growing membership, Huang hopes to see Rotary shine brighter than ever.<br />
<br />
"Light Up Rotary is our theme, but it is more than our theme. It is how we live in Rotary, how we think in Rotary, how we feel, how we work," Huang said. "It is how we make a difference — every day, in every club, every district, and every country where we serve."<br />

<i><b>RI World Headquarters - new </b></i><br />
<br />
The headquarters of Rotary International always has been in the area of Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. First it was in Chicago itself, but in 1954, an attractive new building opened in suburban Evanston.<br />
<br />
The Ridge Avenue building met the needs of the Rotary Secretariat until the 1980s when the addition of new programs, the growth of The Rotary Foundation, and the new PolioPlus activities made the headquarters building extremely crowded and required some staff members to be housed in supplementary office space nearby.<br />
<br />
When a modern 18-storey office building became available in downtown Evanston in 1987, it appeared to meet all of Rotary's space and expansion needs for years to come. The glass and steel structure, built in 1977, provides 400,000 square feet of office and usable space. The building was purchased by Rotary International, which leases approximately two-thirds of the space to commercial tenants, until needed by future Rotary growth.<br />
<br />
The building provides a 190seat auditorium, large parking garage and 300-seat cafeteria, as well as functional office space for the 400 employees of the World Headquarters. The executive suite on the 18th floor includes conference rooms for the RI board and committee meetings, in addition to the offices for the RI president, president-elect, and general secretary.<br />
<br />
One Rotary Center, as it is called, will enhance the efficient operations of Rotary International for many more years to come.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">As Rotarians, we are welcomed at any Rotary Club throughout the world.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">January is Rotary Awareness month. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Let's all try to attend a <i><b>minimum of 3 meetings </b></i>at clubs outside of our own E-Club in the next few months. </span></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Find a local club near you.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Attend their meeting.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Introduce yourself as a member of the Rotary E-Club of the Caribbean, 7020</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Be prepared to tell a
little about the club - (1) how it operates (2) what our signature
project is (Butterfly Storybook (3) our next project, the International
PenPal partnership and (4) our TRF fundraiser</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Then, come back and tell us about your experience. Attending another club qualifies you for a make-up with your own club!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">For
example, when I am back home, I attend the Rotary Club of Parry Sound,
Ontario, Canada. I am always welcomed at their club as a regular
visitor - a visiting Rotarian. Those visits serve as make-ups, if I
need them.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">Please make an effort to see how other clubs operate! Expand your Rotary family! </span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>ROOM 711 - Rotary's Birthplace</b></i></span><br />
<br />
The number seven-eleven has a very special significance for Rotary. Room 711 of the old Unity Building, formerly located at 127 North Dearborn Street in downtown Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A., was the birthplace of Rotary International.<br />
<br />
That historic room, which was the office of engineer Gus Loehr, was the location of that first meeting when Paul Harris met with several friends to discuss his new idea of a club for professionals and businessmen.<br />
<br />
It took extensive research and dedication by a few Chicago Rotarians to preserve the room and restore it to its 1905 authenticity. For years, Room 711 was preserved as a miniature Rotary museum by Rotarians around the world who voluntarily belonged to and contributed annually to the "Paul Harris 711 Club," which provided funds for leasing, maintenance and preservation. In 1989, the Unity Building was about to be torn down.<br />
<br />
Members of the 711 Club carefully dismantled the landmark room and placed the contents in storage. There it stayed until 1994, when the recreated Room 711 found a permanent home, and this piece of the Rotary heritage is preserved at th eRI World Headquarters in Evanstron.<br />

<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>COACH’S CORNER - from Trainer, Diana White</b></i></span><br />
<br />
January is Rotary Awareness Month, an ideal time to make a new resolution to learn a little more about Rotary every month.<br />
<br />
As your Club Trainer, my new year resolution is to make every effort to offer you valuable, interesting and useful information on a regular basis. This week, I thought you might like to learn about our District Conference and how to prepare for it.<br />
