Rotary International President K.R. Ravindran 2015-2016 District Governor Rudy Westervelt 2015-2016

We welcome all of our newest members in Rotary! This has been an exciting month and we have had

the honor of being part of several new member inductions. Karyn and I have enjoyed visiting your

clubs and learning more about your plans for the year.

President Ravi has asked us to “Be a Gift to the World”. Are we ready to use our time, talents and re-

sources to change the lives of those who need us? Are we ready to change OUR lives? Are we willing

to share the Gift of Rotary and invite others to join us in the journey?

I had a professor at Cornell, who changed my life, just when I needed it most.

Dr. James R. Stouffer was a pioneer, a researcher, a scientist, an inventor. He was a mentor, a teacher, a friend, a

father figure. Over his desk hung a sign that read -

SEVEN STEPS TO STAGNATION

We’re doing okay without it

We tried that once before

It costs too much

We’re not ready for that

We’ve never done it that way before

That’s not our responsibility

It just won’t work

He used that to remind himself that if he wanted to grow and to improve, then he needed to NOT follow those steps.

I have followed his lead all these many years. I modified the sign to read -

SEVEN STEPS TO SUCCESS

I must improve to be successful

I am going to try that again

I will invest now for future gain

I am ready for new ideas

I am ready to do it a new way

I take personal responsibility

I WILL MAKE IT WORK

Sisters and brothers in Rotary, I thank you for having made your clubs successful. Our challenge together is

not to rest on what we have done in the past, but to go forward stronger and more focused than ever before.

Our communities need us to take on the big challenges that they face, such as homelessness, high school

dropout rates, human trafficking, and more. Now is the time to finish the job and wipe out POLIO. We have

never been closer, but it is still only a plane ride away.

Let’s enlist the help of our friends, neighbors, families, and business associates in our efforts to “Make the

Impossible … Possible” in the Inland Empire and around the world.

Thank you,

2015 Governors Goals for Membership

WHY ATTENDANCE?

By Richard Lemire

District Administrator & Club Service Chair

Rotary used to have a strict attendance policy. If you missed a meeting you

had to make up at another club within one week before or after. It was then

changed to two weeks. Now, Rotary, realizing that people are busy, allows

make-up credit for any time that is given in service to Rotary. This includes

committee meetings, Rotary event planning meetings, attending Interact or Rotaract meetings, meeting

with potential new members, as well as online make-ups using e-clubs (including Lake Elsinore’s e-club.)

Why is attendance important? There has been some talk to eliminate the attendance requirement, which

I believe would be a big mistake. It is possible to miss three or four meetings in a row and easily become

complacent about Rotary, out of sight – out of mind. The attendance requirement keeps Rotary in the

forefront of the member’s attention.

Over the past few years there has been a lack of emphasis on attendance. As a result, many clubs have

not been reporting their attendance. In the past, the monthly attendance report was required by R.I. to

be in the Governor’s Newsletter. Big Bear Lake used to pride themselves on 100% attendance every

month. More recently, Riverside East has reported over 90% constantly. Being an active club, its mem-

bers take advantage of the many make-up opportunities that are recognized by R.I.

Having good attendance keeps your club involved. One of the Club Service Award criteria is for every

club to submit its monthly attendance on the district website. Clubs that have an attendance average of

75% or more will receive a Club Service with Distinction Award. This should be doable for every club in

the district. So please, stress attendance in your clubs and make our clubs even stronger, especially as we

are growing.

By the time you read this, some of our 2015/2016 Inbound Exchange Students

will have already arrived. It is a pleasure to introduce the seven exchange stu-

dents that will be in our District on long-term exchange (meaning for the full school year).

They are: Ricarda Heinen from Belgium, hosted by Moreno Valley Morning and Lake Arrow-

head; Monika Madleniakova from Slovakia and Emmanuel Sunday from Nigeria, both host-

ed by Big Bear Lake; Luka Nier from Germany, hosted by Coachella Valley; Midori Takanashi

from Japan, hosted by Lake Arrowhead Mountain Sunrise; Emilia Vogt from Germany, host-

ed by Temecula Sunrise; and Max Wubbenhorst from Belgium, hosted by Temecula. They

are about to embark on an absolutely incredible journey, forming cherished friendships and

memories that will last a lifetime.

Their first joint activity will be the orientation held the second weekend of September, hosted

for years now by Dee and Tom Thomas at their ranch in Lake Elsinore. (Yes, Dee insists on

continuing with the tradition. Dee, you rock!) This orientation includes not just the students

from 5330, but students from other Districts in SCANEX, the multi-district Rotary Youth Ex-

change organization involving Southern California, Arizona, and Nevada.

In addition, District 5330 is sending three Outbound Exchange Students overseas. They are:

Nolan Baily, sponsored by Temecula and going to Germany; Christopher Fisher, sponsored

by Lake Arrowhead Mountain Sunrise and going to Switzerland; and Gwendolyn Griggs, al-

so sponsored by Lake Arrowhead Mountain Sunrise, going to France. They, too, are about to

have life-changing experiences.

If you belong to one of the many clubs that has not been involved with Youth Exchange, but

would perhaps like to be involved, or at least would like to find out more about it, please

feel free to contact Dick Shaw, District Youth Exchange Officer.

Historical Background

Rotary Fellowships began informally in 1928 when Rotarians with a shared interest in the 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 Fellow-

ship of Rotarians; this fellowship now boasts the longest continuous existence. The scope of Rotary Fellowships has changed much over the

years, but today their purpose is still to unite Rotarians in friendship and provide venues for enjoying their favorite recreational or

professional activities.

Membership

In 2010-11, 59 fellowships reported a combined membership of almost 32,842 Rotarians, spouses of Rotarians, and Rotaractors in 104

countries. The average size for each Fellowship is 557 members. In 2010-11, 37 fellowships (63% of all fellowships) charged membership

dues, with an average of US$24 for annual dues and US$143 for lifetime dues.

The Fellowship

The Rotary Global History Fellowship We invite all Rotarians, their partners and all members of Rotaract to become

members of our fellowship. You may read "about" us, find out what the RGHF "Mission" is...

Form a Rotary Fellowship

Rotary Fellowships are independent groups of Rotarians, their spouses, and Rotaractors who share a common passion. Being

part of a fellowship is a fun way to make friends from around the world.

What fellowships are available? Fellowship activities vary widely. Members come together around hobbies or interests such as cricket or jazz, or vocations

such as writing or medicine. Some groups are purely social while others use their fellowship for service projects.

View a list of Rotary Fellowships.

How do I join a fellowship?

You can also contact a fellowship directly by using the information listed in the Rotary Fellowships directory. Or search our

discussion groups to find Rotary and Rotaract members with similar interests.

How do I start a fellowship? Chances are if you have a strong interest in something, there are others in the Rotary family who share it. Forming a fellow-

ship starts with finding members for your group. Here’s how you can start:

Join a discussion group or start a new one. It's a great way to share your interest with other members.

Use Rotary’s presence on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to promote your idea. Ask your district Rotary Fellowships chair for assistance. Reach out to district Rotary Fellowships chairs in other countries to

build membership. Ask for contact information at [email protected].

Be sure you meet the criteria for a fellowship and apply for official recognition. See the Rotary Fellowships Handbook for

details.

District 5330: Engaging Club Image

Your Rotary Club is active & engaging, but how does it reinforce its practices for the next generation of

Rotary? Planning ahead via strengthening your clubs alumni network must be an intergenerational

platform, from PRYDE, Interact, Rotaract & Rotary, your club members are beginning to incentivize interest in

Rotary from the ground up. This grassroots strategy models the positive impact that Rotary makes in your

community in multiple spheres of influence. Whether it is a new member to Rotary interested in membership

by word of mouth at work or a Veteran RYLA Alum eager to give back, your club can tackle club image

engagement through educational, civic, corporate and non-profit sectors.

I encourage you to take the following survey to begin discussions and a healthy dialogue about how

ALL membership has an optimal opportunity to contribute into building and strengthening your club image:

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/C99MWR6.

The reputation that Rotary has built demonstrates an insatiable commitment toward new membership

recruitment initiatives, we see Rotary families with Rotary Youth as an emerging sub-culture, including New

Generation, Rotaract, E-Club & Alumni Networks growing worldwide.

Look out for and support the initiatives of your local District New Generation Clubs who continue to

establish bridges in our niche membership marketing.

YIRS,

Megan Miller

Rotary International Foundations six areas of focus, global projects and sustainability

Series of Articles by Dennis E. Spurgin, DC

1. General Statements

2. Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution

3. Disease Prevention and treatment

4. Water and Sanitation

5. Maternal and Child Health

6. Education and Literacy

7. Economic and Community Development

8. Measurability

9. Sustainability

10. Writing the Global Grants

Some Global Grant are involved with only one Area of Focus. However, many Global Grant projects

maybe involved with needs that include multiple Areas of Focus. As an example Project Peanut

Butter (PPB) has activities that are involved in 4 of the 6 Areas of Focus. However, the representa-

tives of The Rotary Foundation (TRF) ask me in writing the Global Grant to concentrate for the

Grants on the one or at maximum two Areas of focus that were most important, would be measure-

able and can demonstrate sustainability. The International Rotary Club (the club outside the target

Country) can take the lead in designing the project and writing the Grant. The Host Rotary Club

(Club in the target Country) must show that the Project is community driven by demonstrating the

need within the target Community/Country. In addition the Host Club must demonstrate how they

will participate in the development and in the implementation of the Global Grant.

In the following Articles each of the Areas of Focus will be dealt with in a separate article to in-

cluding the official Policy Statements from The Rotary Foundation (TRF). Starting with these gen-

eral Policy Statements:

TRF AREAS OF FOCUS POLICY STATEMENTS With respect to the areas of focus policy statements, The Rotary Foundation notes that 1. The goals of the Foundation are to increase efficiency in grant processing and ensure quality

of funded projects; 2. The content of each policy statement is intended to represent eligible and ineligible activities; 3. Eligible activities reflect those that Rotary clubs and districts have most often implemented; 4. Project planning is a bottom-up and host club/district-driven process; 5. All grant requests must comply with the policy statements related to each area of focus.

Project Peanut Butter RI Grant Progress to Date

by Dennis E. Spurgin, DC

Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM Disease) is a condition that results from deprivation of protein and calories. Although the condition affects people of any age, the most common victims are children between one and three years of age. SAM Disease is a critical, global health problem. At the very least, it can stunt the growth of millions of at-risk children and can cause permanent cognitive and physical impairment. Tragically, however, SAM Disease kills more than millions children worldwide each year. More children die of SAM disease each year than of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria combined. But, on the brighter side, a global solution to SAM Disease has been found. It is as simple as a jar of specially developed peanut butter known as “Ready -to-use Therapeutic food” (RUTF). PPB develops a sustainable program within the country.

The first Project Peanut Butter Rotary (PPB) International Foundation Grant with the International Club being the Palm Springs Sunup Rotary Club was a Matching Grant and was written and sent for approval to TRF in January 2012. The Matching Grant was for expanding Payatas Clinic in the Philippines in the amount of $35,356 with eleven of our District 5330 Clubs involved. Payatas Clinic is in an orphanage outside Manila which takes children off a large garbage dump. It was approved and funded the summer of 2012 and the final Report was written and accepted in January 2014.

Since the first Grant was finished The Rotary International Foundation changed their Grant process to the more Computerized system that is titled Global Grant. Two additional Grants have been worked through the new process to approval and funding in the same way. These were written for PPB Malawi and Sierra Leone.

The 2012-13 Global Grant (GG1412483) was written for equipment to expand the PPB factory in Malawi in the amount of $56,535 with 25 District 5330 clubs involved and two Clubs outside the District. One of these clubs was from Central California and the other from Canada. The expansion allows Project Peanut Butter (PPB) to treat all the children in the country sustainable under a contract with UNICEF. This grant is finished funding and the final report was written May 2015.

The 2013-14 Grant Global (GG1412488) was likewise written for expanding the program by expanding the PPB factory in Sierra Leone in the amount of $78,174 with 20 District 5330 clubs involved and five Clubs outside the District. Three of these clubs were from Central California and one from Canada and one from England. The expansion allows PPB to treat all the children in the country sustainable under a contract with UNICEF.

Now in Draft form has been written an even larger Global Grant for Ghana. This 2014-16 Rotary International Global Grant GG1528449 is Ghana for $199,500. Ghana is a start up for Project Peanut Butter. It was begun with a grant from Hershey Chocolate and our Global Grant buys equipment for the factory. This program will allow PPB to treat all the children in the country sustainable under a contract with UNICEF. We are looking for commitment of Money for the Grant or of DDF (District Designated Funds).

Welcome 2015-16 Interact Clubs.

If you were lucky enough to have a summer break, it is almost over. We hope that you held your elections for the 2015-2016 Interact year, and perhaps continued your projects or planned new ones. If not, you’ll want to get started as soon as school resumes. We plan on having an exciting year, and always strive to make it better. Make sure that your Interact club reporting is always up to date. If you have a new Advisor at your school, let me know.

Earlier this year.

Special thanks to Clint, from San Jacinto Val-ley Academy Interact (sponsored by Hemet Sunset). Clint and some Interactors document-ed our last Interact Assembly that was held on February 28th. You can see it on YouTube. Just search for “2015 Interact Conference”. Clint is also working on a video from the May 16 Conference.

In June, the Rancho Verde H.S. Interact Club, (sponsored by Perris Rotary) issued a $400,00 check to UNICEF. They also issued a check to Heifer International, in the amount of $290.00 for the specific purchase of: 1 Goat, 3 Sets of honeybees, and four flocks of chicks, for Malawi.

What’s New

Interact Assembly, Beaumont, October 17th

The initial planning has started. The nuts and bolts is the fun part. If your Interact club, or your sponsoring Rotary Club wants to be a part of the planning, or to help facili-tate on the day of the event, contact the Dis-trict Interact Chair. Start now on your ‘project boards’. Each club will have time to present. Next month you’ll find out about the breakout training sessions also. Do’s and don’ts of logo use.

WWW.rotary.org has all of the official logo’s for your use. There is even a place to design your own logo. But the big rule is, never have anything cover or overlay the official design. This is Your Page in the Governors Newsletter. Advertise an upcoming event or share your service accomplishments. Send me your In-teract pictures and news articles. Try to set a deadline of the 2nd Saturday of the month. Be heard. Tell your stories of how you, Serve Above Self. Sincerely, Mike Behrens, District 5330 Interact Chair.

Please pass this along to all Interactors.

Mission:

The mission of the District International Service team is to stimulate interest in the International

Avenue of Service and to assist club leadership with coordination and implementation of pro-

jects and programs within and between the clubs and members of our district and Rotary clubs,

groups and Rotarians around the world.

Objectives:

Ensure maximum participation by the clubs in District 5330 in International Service projects and

programs. To accomplish this goal, the District’s International Service Chair will:

Engage the clubs in District 5330 in the District sponsored International Service projects. Work proactively for club participation in projects especially relating to Sister City Club

Agreements, Rotarian Action Groups, and Rotary Fellowship Groups. Provide information, resources and tools to club International Service Chairs through various

District training opportunities and direct contact with Rotarians who have interest or

expertise with specific project types and project countries. Help clubs understand the international aspects of Rotary by knowledge-sharing and

collaboration opportunities. Assist clubs in communicating their international projects in accomplishing the 2015-2016

District Governor’s Goals, Governor’s Citation Requirements, and 2015-16 International

Award Criteria.

Please contact Thomas Smith at: [email protected] or at 760-499-8565 with any

humanitarian reach around the world and to promote world

understanding and peace.

Hi, I’m Larry Asmus, the District 5330 Polio Plus Coordinator for ‘15/16. Yes, we Rotarians are “this close” to eliminating Polio World-wide (see photo and photo below of vaccination in India). Cases of the crippling and deadly disease of Polio Myelitis have been reduced to less than 400 last year, and only 24 cases as of July 9th in 2015. India is Polio free, and Nigeria has not reported a new case in more than 11 months. Thank you Rotarians for helping to achieve this! The only 2 Polio endemic

nations are Pakistan and Afghanistan. Now we Rotarians must keep focused on eliminating the last remnants of Polio until the World has indeed been Polio free for at least 2 or 3 years. No one wants to celebrate prematurely. No one

wants to “spike the football on the one yard line”.

This year we are asking all District 5330 Rotarians to donate 20% (one fifth) of

their contributions to the Rotary Foundation to Polio Plus. We are asking all Dis-

trict 5330 Rotarians to donate $50.00, that’s about $1.00 per week to stop

Polio now. That’s about the cost of a cup of coffee. This will help us to reach

and exceed our goal of raising $50,000 to fight Polio from our district in this Rotary Year ‘15/16.

Club Presidents, if you have appointed a Polio Plus Coordinator in you club, please give me his/her name, telephone num-

ber, and E-mail address. If you have not appointed a Polio Plus Coordinator, please do so and send me their contact infor-

mation at: [email protected]. My phone is #909/864-3533. If you need any information on our Rotary effort to end Po-

lio, please contact me. I can help you to write an article on Polio

Plus for your club’s newsletter, and to do a short 2 to 5 minute

announcement on Polio Plus at your club meeting. I may also be

able to do a program of 20 to 30 minutes at your meeting.

Thank you very much for your continuing support of Polio Plus!

What do Jane Goodall, Michael Douglas and Stevie Wonder all have in common? They are all

“Messengers of Peace” for the United Nations International Day of Peace. The International Day of Peace

began in 1981 with a UN Resolution and is now celebrated each year on September 21st. The Resolution

calls for “the cessation of hostilities and nonviolence, and calls upon all Nations and people to commemo-

rate the day appropriately, including through educational efforts, and public awareness; Whereas Peace

Day activities around the world include vaccination campaigns, peace walks, concerts, peace-related dis-

cussions and debates, poetry readings, mass prayer ceremonies, art exhibitions, memorial services, school

assemblies, and sporting events.”

As Rotarians we can all agree that these efforts encompass many of our beliefs and desires for a conflict-

free world. Rotary is a leader in Peace and Conflict Resolution through our Peace Fellowship Program

and the Rotary Peace Centers. I encourage each club to think about how they can promote peace in their

personal and professional lives, as well as within their communities and worldwide. September 21st is an

opportunity for your Club to highlight Rotary’s dedication to Peace by hosting a community event, invit-

ing peacemakers to present at your Club or something as simple and impactful as participating in a mo-

ment of silence for Peace.

"As we prepare for DG Rudy's club visits, it is a good time to take stock of club meeting

venues and assure that certain basic guidelines are met. Following is a checklist of some of

the considerations which make for a good Rotary club meeting set-up."

Setting Up a Rotary Club Meeting Room

Here are some suggestions for setting up a meeting room which is at-

tractive, comfortable and functional:

*Make sure there is enough space for all expected attendees & room for socializing before

meeting starts.

*Essential to have well lighted and colorful rooms.

*Must be a clearly designated location for meeting leader & speaker (s), usually at “front” of

the room, with a podium.

*American flag, club banner, other clubs’ flags, project board, theme banner, bell & gavel,

other proper Rotary displays, all easily visible. Showcase your achievements!

*At least one greeter at entrance.

*Greeting table with badges and room for check-in, payment, Rotary literature.

*If speaker needs projection equipment, set up in advance.

*Minimize external noise

*Designate a club member to be responsible for setting up room!

*Everyone should know they are in a ROTARY meeting!!
