President's Message July 29, 2014
Rotary InternationalGary C.K. HuangPresident 2014-2015
Today’s meeting was both well attended and informative. The meeting began with an invocation by Lynda Nahra. We sang a rousing rendition of “When you’re smiling”, and we even managed to sound good during the second verse.
I reported on the recent board of directors meeting and outlined the various matters approved at that meeting. Among other things, we approved a Club budget of almost $88,000, established a membership goal of net 4 additional members, set a Polio Plus goal of $3,500, a Rotary International Foundation goal of $5,500, a Service goal of $12,000 and increased the meal assessment to $25. New Leave of Absence and Honorary Member policies were approved and you can find them on the website.
In what is quickly becoming my favorite task as President, I happily inducted Sucheta Kapuria and Bernadette Bagley as new members of our Club. If you haven’t already met them, please introduce yourselves to them at our next meeting and show them the
true meaning of Rotary Fellowship.
Our “This day in Montecito Rotary history” took us back to July 29, 1953 when theClub was run by Ken Monroe, former President of Westmont College.
I hope to see all of you at our next meeting.
Our speaker this week was State Senator Hannah Beth Jackson. She spoke about her dreams and desires for our County as well as her commitment to preventing a repeat of the recent UCSB tragedy.

When You're Smiling is a song by Larry Shay, Mark Fisher, and Joe Goodwin (June 6, 1889 - July 31, 1943), and made famous by Louis Armstrong, who recorded it at least three times, in 1929, 1932, and 1956. Duke Ellington also recorded it several times earlier in his career.
Many other recordings exist, for example by Billie Holiday, Patti Page, Judy Garland, Andy Williams. Dean Martin also sang it, sometimes parodying it as "When You're Drinkin'".
When you're smiling, When you're smiling, The whole world smiles with you, When you're laughing, When you're laughing, The sun comes shining through,
But when you're crying you bring on the rain, So stop your sighing be happy again, Keep on smiling 'cause when you're smiling, The whole world smiles with you.

GARY C.K. HUANGPresident 2014-15
In Rotary, we mark August as Membership and Extension Month. There is a good reason why we remind ourselves of the importance of membership early in every Rotary year: because the job of growing our membership is one that we can never begin too soon. It is also a job that we can never stop working on. In order to keep serving, Rotary always needs to be growing!
We have talked for many years about the importance of the family of Rotary. In this Rotary year, I want to make not just the family of Rotary, but our own Rotary families, a priority in our membership. After 37 years of following me in Rotary, my wife, Corinna, finally became a Rotarian last year. We attended the chartering of a new club in Taiwan together, and she said, "It's time for me to become a Rotarian too!" So she joined that club. And soon, so did a lot of other people. Now that club has 102 members, and it's the second-largest club in Taiwan.
Inviting our spouses into Rotary isn't just about getting our numbers up. It addresses the reality that Rotary still has far more men as members than it does women, and that is something we need to work on. When we bring more women into Rotary, our clubs become more appealing to prospective female members – and become more productive as well.
This year we are going to have something new in Rotary: a membership support team pin. This means that if you invite a new member into Rotary, you get a special pin to wear with your Rotary gearwheel. But we all know that the job of growing membership doesn't end when a new member joins. It ends only when a new member is enjoying being a Rotarian and never wants to leave! And making sure that our clubs are enjoyable places to be is a key part of growing membership.
People come into Rotary for all kinds of reasons, but they stay because Rotary is fun to be a part of. So I want to remind all of you to have fun in your clubs and your districts. Rotary is based on the idea that our service is more effective when we serve together with our friends. So let's enjoy our Rotary service, share it with others, and Light Up Rotary together!
