It’s OUR Rotary Foundation Month!

Your friend in Rotary Service,

DG Mike Chapman

Let’s keep on

“Doing Good, Having Fun!”

November is a very special month in our Rotary Year – and this Rotary year is very special to all of us!

Since Rotary Year 1916-17, The Rotary Founda-tion has raised more than $3 Billion for the purpose of DOING GOOD IN THE WORLD. We’ll be cel-ebrating the Centennial of OUR Rotary Foundation next June at RI Convention in Atlanta!

The confines of this column are too small to men-tion all the wonderful projects, scholarships, and support efforts OUR Rotary Foundation has done in the last 99 years – with, of course, the “sweat equity” of Rotarians, Rotary Clubs and District, and their community, business, and governmental part-ners around the globe.

On Thursday, November 17, we will celebrate the TRF accomplishments of our District during the past Rotary Year when Past RI Vice President Anne Matthews visits us for our annual Rotary Founda-tion Banquet at Spartan Manor in New Port Richey. If you haven’t signed up yet, please do so and help us CELEBRATE the accomplishments of our TRF team, led by PDG Carl Treleaven and iPDG Will Miller.

Since the change a few years ago to the “Future Vision” model for District and Global Grants, The Rotary Foundation has turned its focus – at least in part – to clubs and districts controlling to a greater extent the use of TRF funds. The DIRECT result of this has been the investment of the combined total over three quarters of a million dollars in District

Designated Funds and individual club toward help-ing people and organizations within District 6950’s borders. I’m so proud to be part of a district that remembers that “charity begins at home!”

But we’ve done a LOT more service and schol-arship work OUTSIDE our four-county community over many, many years, through the former Rotary Matching Grants– and now through Global Grants. There are five active Grants at work or in process from our District in partnership with others around the world, and we have funding to support many more!

And please remember – WE ARE THIS CLOSE to ending the scourge of Polio around the world. With only three nations having endemic Polio, we can see the bright future where no child (or adult) is ever crippled by this terrible disease. We ARE winning this struggle, and we WILL see Polio eradi-cated, as our RI President, John Germ, says, “Now – AND FOREVER!’

So let’s take a night to celebrate what we’ve done in the past year. Then let’s get back to work rais-ing funds through our District’s MILLION DOLLAR CHALLENGE and through continuing to do (and sponsor) the good works of OUR Rotary Founda-tion – here at home in District 6950 and around the world!

Rotary Club of St. Petersburg Midtown

Rotary Club of Belleair Rotary Club of East Lake Sunrise

The Rotary Club of Pinellas Park was chartered on June 7, 1954. The club meets every Thursday at 12:15 PM at Banquet Masters on 49th Street and Ulmerton Road. The members enjoy community service projects and several social events each year.

The club sponsors Student of the Month recognition for outstanding students from Pinellas Park High School, Dixie Hollins High School, and Sanders School. The students and parents attend a luncheon meeting, and students receive a plaque and $50. Other projects include cooking meals at Ronald McDonald House, road cleanup, holiday baskets for needy families, and raffles for Rotary Foundation Polio Plus. Several times a year the club helps sponsor bowling events for Special Olympics athletes.

Our signature project for the 2016-2017 Rotary year has been the startup of a Hydroponic Garden at Skyview Elemen-tary School. See attached picture from ribbon cutting event.

This year the club held its 29th annual Bowl-A-Thon fun-draiser making over $29,000. Many thanks go to the Krauss family including members Gerry, Kevin, Kenny, and Christine.

Rotary Club of Pinellas Park

The Rotary Club of St. Petersburg - Midtown is a relatively new club, chartered in 2011. Our mission is to improve the wellness – economic, educational, and physical – of the Mid-town area. Although the Midtown club is small, but grow-ing, it boasts a membership diversity not found in many clubs including men, women, young professionals (40 & under), with ethic and racial diversity. St. Petersburg Midtown Rotary meets on Wednesdays at 11:45am at the Grand Villa, 3600 34th St. South in St. Petersburg. Our signature fundraising project has been an annual themed gala which has provided funding for health and youth oriented projects and organiza-tions in Midtown. In our short tenure, we have sponsored both inbound and outbound international exchange students, participated in area-wide projects, and provided funding and service to organizations in Midtown St. Petersburg, one of the most economically challenged areas of Pinellas County. We also sponsor an Interact Club at Academy Prep Middle School in Midtown. Our upcoming projects are designed to increase literacy rates among students served by South St. Petersburg Schools. We are excited about increasing our membership as we live out our Rotary motto of “Service above Self”.

The Rotary club of East Lake Sunrise is 12 years old. We are a breakfast club that meets on Thursday’s at 7:30-8:30 a.m. at Daddy’s Grill in Oldsmar.

Our annual signature event is the Crusin’ the Park Com-munity Festival & Car Show held each year at John Chesnut Park. The YMCA of Lansbrook is our partner, and their Healthy Kids Day is part of the Festival. This free event draws approx. 3,000 people, and proceeds go towards mini-grants awarded to non-profit organizations in Pinellas County.

We are advocates for education. Our Student of the Month awards recognize elementary students nominated by their teachers at Cypress Woods and Brooker Creek elementary schools. Students and their families attend a Rotary meeting - each student receives a framed certificate and a gift card. This year, business sponsors have agreed to sponsor the monthly Student of the Month awards.

Our members participate in hands-on projects such as Meals of Hope, Pancake Breakfast at Brooker Creek Preserve, Random Acts of Flowers, etc. We also team up with other clubs to sponsor Rotaract, exchange students and district projects. We are proud that 100% of our members are Paul Harris Fellows.

The Belleair Rotary Club was chartered December 1, 1989, and current membership averages 30. We continue to meet at the Belleair Country Club at 12:15 p.m. on Thursdays.

For the past several years our major fund raiser has been a Wine and Tapas event, which takes place at the Belleair Country Club in the Spring. The event averages $20,000 raised through ticket sales, sponsorships and the silent auc-tion. The last Thursday of every month we have a “Winers Night”. This is a good opportunity for the members to social-ize over a glass of wine. We usually meet a restaurant who is sponsoring the Wine and Tapas fundraiser, so we create a win-win (+Wine!) for all of us!

This year Club President Jo Ann Bruner is very active work-ing with Chair persons for our many events. Just in October,

we arranged an event to “Honk the Horn to Stamp out Polio,” and the day af-ter we had a table at the annual Halloween Event at the Rec Center of Belleair. In December, we will take part in the Belleair Christ-mas Parade and Ring the Bell at the local Publix to benefit the Salvation Army.

My fellow Rotarians, our day begins anew every single morning that the sun rises. It’s truly awesome that we have the privilege of living in America and enjoy so many free-doms that we often take for granted. Si-multaneously, Rotary’s work happens every

single day with one exception; it never sleeps, with different time zones our Work, Our Mission, is around the clock. Every day, The Rotary Foundation, through the love, care and serv-ing of 1.2 million Rotarians; we demonstrate the strength and ability to solve the problems of mankind around the world.

Without your support to the Annual Fund and participation, the programs of The Rotary Foundation could not exist. Pro-grams such as District Grants, Global Grants, Peace Scholars, etc. would not be possible. Our gifts to The Rotary Founda-tion are not your typical charitable contributions. Rotarians don’t just give money and walk away. We put the power of loving hands and the passion to help all humanity; We Make a Difference.

Mother Theresa once said, “It’s not how much we give, but how much love we put into our giving. It is love that inspires people to give to people that they will never meet”. How true! How Rotary! I love this quote – it’s real meaning mir-rors what we do in Rotary every day whether here, in Dis-trict 6950 and our forty-seven clubs, or Atlanta, GA – District 6900. Really in any town, city, area of the free world.

We should be proud of the organization we are involved in, called Rotary International. But truly the entity that is as-sociated with all the good accomplished around the world is The Rotary Foundation. It is through the educational, hu-manitarian programs that Rotary and its members are viewed so positively around the globe. In fact The Rotary Foundation received the highest possible score from Charity Navigator in September, earning the maximum 100 points for both finan-cial health and accountability and transparency.

Rotarians recognize that The Rotary Foundation is our “Heart”, and Individual Rotarians make it “Pump”. We make “Serving Humanity” possible through our contributions to the Annual Fund and supporting grants throughout our Commu-nities and the world. We also champion the worldwide effort to eliminate Polio through our gifts to the Polio-Plus Fund.

Both of these efforts require planning, communicating and setting goals to keep us focused on what we want to accom-plish in our effort to Serve Humanity. We are asked to set

goals (wants/desires) as a means to accomplish tremendous tasks, and know that our goals should include a “stretch fac-tor”. All Club Presidents have been asked to set goals for Foundation Annual Fund giving and Polio-Plus Fund giving, but if these wants or desires are not communicated to our members and kept out in front of us, it is too easy to lose sight of what we want to accomplish. It is well-known that those who set goals have a better chance of obtaining those goals, especially if we let others know that we have these objectives.

As a District we have set a goal to raise $215 for the An-nual Fund (per capita) which is tracked by The Rotary Foun-dation via a Monthly Contribution Report which each Club President, Secretary or Foundation Committee Chair can run to see how their Club is progressing. Use it as a Scoreboard and check it frequently to see how you are doing.

District Governor Michael J. Chapman spelled out another opportunity in his “Monday with Mikey” message on Octo-ber 10th for some Club member to attend the International Convention in Atlanta through a drawing to award two paid registration fees. To be included in the drawing the Club must have attained the $215 Annual Fund per capita goal by January 15th. This is a tremendous opportunity for someone to attend the 100th Anniversary of The Rotary Foundation.

So we ask all Rotarians to do their part and support The Rotary Foundation by making contributions through their Clubs or via Rotary Direct. Rotary Direct simplifies this giv-ing process by allowing regular contributions on a frequency the Rotarian chooses, be it monthly, quarterly or annually via various means such as Bank Drafts or Credit Card Charges. You can even contribute to TRF on-line at any time you want by logging in to Rotary.org.

Jared Brown, TRF Chair and Jack Thies, TRF Vice Chair

Basic Education and Literacy is one of Rotary’s 6 Areas of Focus!

Tip of the month:Reading ability is like a muscle, if you don’t exercise it often, you will not maintain the same level of reading as you get older. So – “use it or lose it”!

The Rotary Club of San Antonio, Florida, has launched a local fundraiser to help end polio in conjunction with Rotary International’s fourth annual World Polio Day event. The global event aired on October 24, 2016, and was co-hosted by the U.S. Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention (CDC).

According to Rotary Club President Winnie Burke, two hand-made quilts, sewn and donated by a local polio survivor, are being raffled off. “The quilts are meticulously sewn, and we are honored to have received them,” says Burke.

The drawing for the quilts will be Tuesday, December 13, 2016, at the weekly club meeting. Two entrants will be selected with one winning a 56” x 67” quilt depicting the Tampa Bay Bucs logo, and the other winning a 36” x 55” kaleidoscope quilt. The suggested donation is $5 per ticket or five for $20. No purchase neces-sary. All proceeds will go to PolioPlus at the Rotary Founda-tion. To participate, call (352) 588-4444 or ask a club mem-ber for tickets.

The San Antonio Rotary Club is a member of Rotary District 6950, which received a 7.5 percent match from the Rotary Foundation for PolioPlus donations. “The program is unique to District 6950,” says Michael Fitzgerald, District 6950 Po-lioPlus Chair. “Each club’s contribution will appear on the District’s PolioPlus report. The district will provide the match based on the report. The Rotary Foundation will match half of the district’s match. So $100 becomes $760 to fight polio – enough to buy 1,250 doses of vaccine.”

The urgency of this fundraiser follows recent reports of three new cases of wild poliovirus in Nigeria: two cases in July, and one in August. The three cases are the first to be detected

in Nigeria since July 2014 accord-ing to the Founda-tion. With these cases, funding for polio eradication is particularly vital as rapid response plans are now in action in Nigeria

San Antonio Rotary Club Launches Fundraiser On World Polio Dayand surrounding countries to stop the outbreak quickly and prevent its spread.

Rotary and its partners in the Glob-al Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) are acting to immunize children in Nigeria and countries in the Lake Chad Basin (Chad, northern Camer-oon, southern Niger and the Central African Republic). Nearly one-fourth of the funds Rotary announced in September ($8.15 million) will sup-port the emergency response cam-paigns in this at-risk region, and last month Rotary provided $500,000 to immediately assist with the outbreak response.

“While we are disappointed with the recent news coming out of Ni-

geria, this situation underscores the extreme importance of widespread immunization campaigns and strong disease sur-veillance in all countries of the world until polio is fully eradi-cated,” said Michael K. McGovern, chair of Rotary’s Interna-tional PolioPlus Committee. “This funding will help ensure that Rotary and our GPEI partners are doing all that we can to redouble our efforts and protect the progress in polio-free parts of the world, as well as stop transmission in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and now Nigeria.”

To sustain this progress, and protect all children from polio, experts say $1.5 billion is urgently needed. Without full fund-ing and political commitment, this paralyzing disease could

return to previously polio-free countries, putting children everywhere at risk. Rotary has contributed more than $1.6 billion and countless volunteer hours to fight polio. Through 2018, every dollar Rotary commits to polio eradication will be matched two-to-one by the Bill & Melinda Gates Founda-tion up to $35 million a year.

Rotary launched its polio immunization program PolioP-lus in 1985, and in 1988 became a spearheading partner in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative with the World Health Organization (WHO), UNICEF, U.S. Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention (CDC), and was later joined by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Since the initiative launched, the incidence of polio has plummeted by more than 99.9 per-cent, from about 350,000 cases a year to 26 confirmed to date in 2016.

Be a Part of History

Don't just look at pictures of other Rotarians giving Polio

drops. Take the leap and get into the picture by traveling with

us to India to give the life saving drops. January 29, 2017 is

the next scheduled Polio NaHonal ImmunizaHon Day (NID) in

India. Over 170 million children under the age of 5 will be

vaccinated with the polio vaccine.

The teams led by PDG Nancy Barbee and PDG Cynde

Covington will show you the real India, work with local

Rotarians, giving the polio vaccine to children, take part in

service projects and see first hand several global and district

grant projects.

Learn about projects that your club and your Interact clubs

can partner with. Along the way you will see the beauty and

culture of India, including a trip to Agra to see the amazing Taj

Mahal. Your life with be enriched in ways you cannot even

imagine. Both Nancy and Cynde, have led numerous teams to

India. You will find the experience to be rewarding, humbling

and FUN!

There will be two teams with slightly different iHneraries.

Both teams will arrive in Delhi on January 19. VisiHng St.

Stephen’s Hospital, the Polio Plus office and the World Health

OrganizaHon. The teams will then travel to different ciHes,

staying with local Rotarians and working on service projects.

Heading back to Delhi, the teams will join together for the

Polio NID and Mop up day. Then on to the Agra and take a

sunrise tour of the majesHc Taj Mahal, before heading home

on February 1st.
