Rotary District 6380 is Changing Lives in SE Michigan and SW Ontario

Governor’s Minute

Well, I’ve had the

opportunity

now to visit

with and speak at 32 of

our 52 Rotary clubs in

District 6380 and I have

several observations.

First, I am extremely proud of this

organization and the great things we do

to Change Lives. We Change Lives every

minute of every hour of every day

somewhere in the world. Further, I am

so impressed by what we do to Change

Lives in District 6380 in our little corner

of SE Michigan and SW Ontario.

Second, even though there are 34,000

ways to do Rotary, we all eventually get

to the same place. Yeah, there are

differences between clubs with 22

committees, three Interact clubs, two

Rotaract clubs and the Governor (that’s

the real Governor) as a speaker versus

dinner at the community hall for 15;

but that’s all window dressing and

process. The result is the same …

Changed Lives. Size only matters in the

number of Lives Changed. It’s all from

the heart or it’s not Rotary.

Third, clubs that make fellowship and

social activities a key part of their club

do not have the retention issues that

other clubs have. It is much harder to

leave your friends than to just resign

from a club.

Fourth, if everyone who says they’re

coming to Mission Point for the district

conference next May shows up, we’re

“gonna need a bigger boat” (for

cocktails Saturday night.)

Fifth, the Youth Exchange students

have a contagious energy level; both

our inbounds and our outbounds. If

your club is not involved in Youth

Exchange, you are missing an exciting

part of Rotary.

Sixth, our Canadian clubs treat the

district governor quite well.

Seventh, heart attacks suck; but they

only slow you down.

Eighth, there aren’t many places

where you can invest your money

better than The Rotary Foundation if

you want to see results. If you doubt

that, read your Rotarian magazine or

look at the Global and District Grants

our clubs apply for and receive.

Ninth, our communities would not be

what they are today if dedicated groups

of men and women hadn’t taken the

time to organize their Rotary clubs.

And tenth, I’m only three months into

my governorship … how lucky am I?

Engage Rotary – Change Lives.

District 6380 takes tremendous

pride in the good that is done

locally and, in many cases,

internationally through the district

grant process. Many of you attended the

Grant Management seminar last spring.

Others have been contacting me at

janetmcpeek@comcast.net regarding

arrangements for makeup seminars.

Our goal is to continue having these

grants available to any club in the

district that seeks a grant and meets the

requirements. Last year, the grants

committee was in the wonderful

position of having requests that just

exceed the amount of available grant

money. By reducing each grant by a just

small amount, we were able to fund all

eligible grants. We hope to have many

of you apply again this year.

To answer some immediate and

important questions:

• Yes, we are using the online

Clubrunner process.

• Grants committee chair Don

Chisholm will input names and open up

access following his attendance at

Rotary Zone Seminar, which takes place

10/2-6. Therefore, new grant deadline:

November 1, 2013.

•Don will send out notification and

instructions as soon as the site is set up

for your access and inputting.

Between now and when you can

access the site, please remember that

you can get your grant prepared so that

all you have to do is enter the

information into the site by November

1. The grants committee will meet after

that deadline, and you will hear

immediately after the committee meets.

RI is typically very timely in their

turnaround of our spending plan, so

that we can get your checks to you in a

timely manner as well. One important

thing to note: If you received grant

money last year, please get your report

into Don Chisholm ASAP. Those reports

are due. They are a prerequisite to

receiving your new grant funds (but not

for applying), and are important so that

we can close out the year for our

district.

So that you can get your grants written in the meantime,I’ve included again the questions that will be on the site.

1. Describe your project, its location, objective, and total cost.This is your opportunity to briefly tell the case statement forthe impact of the grant, i.e., why it is needed, what differenceit will make, how Rotarians will be involved, or anything elsethat has your club excited about its merit. 2. Provide a concise, itemized budget for your project. It isacceptable to categorize your expenses. 3. What is your club’s financial commitment to this project?(total club contribution)4. What is the amount of the grant you are requesting? Maynot exceed 50% of your club’s financial commitment to thisproject, or $2,500 – whichever is LESS. 5. Identify the cooperating organizations, if any, on yourproject; which by submitting this application you areendorsing as reputable, responsible, and as acting within thelaws of the project country in the host district. 6. Provide the names and contact information for the twoRotarians in your club responsible for sponsoring yourproject; as well as the names and contact information of twoRotarians in the host district, if this is an internationalproject. 7. Provide the names and contact information for the twoRotarians in your club who will be personally responsible fortimely submitting all required project reports.

Please remember that the committee is looking to fundgrants, not to judge a writing competition. Some of you haveexpressed concern to me about not being professional grantwriters. We are your fellow Rotarians and we admire and areoften deeply moved by the good that will be done by yourprojects. I look forward to answering any questions that youhave. I just ask for your patience as we get this process onlineand to know that I will also be unavailable the first week inOctober. I will also be representing you as Assistant TrainingCoordinator, attending training as your Foundation Chair andalso as a presenter at the Zone Institute (as will DonChisholm), so we will have limited ability to respond until10/7. Then we will be actively working to get the show on theroad!

The Rotary Foundation transforms your

gifts into projects that change lives both

close to home and around the world. As

the charitable arm of Rotary, we tap into

a global network of Rotarians who

invest their time, money, and expertise

into our priorities, such as eradicating

polio and promoting peace. Foundation

grants empower Rotarians to approach

challenges such as poverty, illiteracy,

and malnutrition with sustainable solutions that leave a lasting impact. Strong

financial oversight, a stellar charity rating, and a unique funding model mean

that we make the very most of your contribution. Give and become a part of

Rotary’s life-changing work.

ShelterBox USA photo: Syrian refugee

children at Domiz refugee camp, Duhok

Province, Iraqi Kurdistan, August 2013.

Ahmed is one of the million children who

have fled their homes in Syria. That is half

the Syrian refugee population. He is

12-years-old and was sitting on the ground

at Krwigorsk camp in Iraqi Kurdistan

when a ShelterBox Response Team

working in the area met him. His friends,

Ayman and Mohammed, were sitting on

either side of him, all three smiling and

waving at passersby. They are classmates

from school back in Syria, a rare

connection in a conflict that has torn apart

families and communities. They loved

going to school but cannot now. It has been

two months since they were last in a

classroom and they say they have nothing

to do in the camp.

More than two

million Syrian

men, women and

children have fled the

brutal conflict in Syria

and millions more are

struggling to survive

within the country. The

war has taken almost

everything that they

own away from them.

They are in desperate

need of shelter and

other vital supplies, and

with winter just around

the corner, conditions

will worsen.

The need now is greater

than ever, and

ShelterBox offers a

winterized shelter

solution. ShelterBox is

an international

humanitarian relief

charity that responds

instantly following natural disasters and other humanitarian

crises by delivering ShelterBoxes and other emergency

supplies to those who need it most.

ShelterBox continues to shelter families in Syria, Iraqi

Kurdistan, Lebanon and Jordan. Our teams are working in the

region to ensure this lifesaving aid reaches those most

vulnerable. But many thousands more need our help today.

Help us provide shelter for a further 5,000 families over the

coming months.

Together, we can restore their hope and provide shelter,

comfort and a sense of normalcy to those who would

otherwise be living in fear. YOU can help families rebuild

their lives after losing everything in a disaster by launching

your own fundraising page or making a donation today! As

winter approaches, families are in desperate need of

emergency shelter and blankets. Without these and other

vital items, they will have little protection from the freezing

temperatures.

Please help Syrian families by giving what you can today.

Your gift will help provide emergency shelter, blankets and

water purification – the essential aid these families need to

survive.

#### Ginger Barrons Ginger Barrons Ginger Barrons Ginger Barrons gbarrons1@mi.rr.com

The month of September has been such a delight

spending time with our district clubs and hearing how

engaged they are in the polio eradication effort. As we

work toward 100% participation in District 6380 more of our

clubs are expressing their interest in helping us accomplish

this goal. I’m extremely pleased to see our larger clubs joining

smaller clubs in their area to help them reach their goal.

Outbreaks continue in Somalia but our three endemic

countries have reported no new cases in the month of

September. Emergency teams continue the hard work of

controlling this outbreak.

There is an upcoming event on World Polio Day that I

encourage you to plan to attend. Better yet, why not plan a

club meeting around the broadcast?

“World Polio Day: Making History,” event will take place on

World Polio Day – 24 October 2013 – at 5:30 p.m. CDT and

will be streamed live at endpolionow.org.

This event, held in conjunction with Northwestern

University’s Center for Global Health, will deliver a global

status update on the fight to end polio, poised to be only the

second human disease ever eradicated, and its broader

implications for global health.

Speakers include Dr. Bruce Aylward, Assistant Director-

General for Polio, Emergencies and Country Collaboration,

World Health Organization; Dennis Ogbe, a Nigerian-born

polio survivor, Paralympian and Shot @ Life ambassador for

polio eradication; and Rotary International President Ron

Burton.

Drop me a line and let me know how your club celebrated

World Polio Day so that I can share your efforts in our next

newsletter.

This past month the Macomb Rotary Club in conjunction with

others planned a fabulous polio event with the Detroit Tigers.

Farmington Rotary Club is planning a polio bowling

fundraiser. Keith and I want to thank these clubs for their

energy and their commitment to the polio challenge!

As this newsletter is going to press, I received new end polio

now materials from Rotary International. I can’t wait to show

them to you.

At 77, having spent well over three decades in Rotary, ofall the legacies possible in all the many hats I have wornin my life, in and out of Rotary, there was one hat, one

time, when I felt sure about a legacy, and this is that story. Some years ago, three directors of Rotary, on their own,decided to encourage Rotary clubs in Mid-America, nearbythe “Great Lakes,” to help provide water to peoples in anotherpart of the world who had almost none where they lived. Iwas asked to coordinate the project, between American clubsand foreign clubs, and in three years we raised and spentmore than $200,000 to put many hundreds of shallow wellsin rural villages that had no water. Afterward, I, my wife anda few others, went to India to see what had beenaccomplished. There I saw my legacy. Somebody “up there” smiled at me, let me see for just amoment, how some small pieces of everyday life can fittogether beautifully. One sunny morning I was standing on adirt street in the middle of a small rural village in WesternIndia. I was looking at happy faces of men, women andchildren, dressed in their finest, laughing and playing aroundthe water pump of the new tube well what was splashingcool, fresh, clean water into their shiny buckets. This was thefirst water well in that village. The money that Joe and Sam ina Rotary club in middle America raised when they soldfruitcake, pancakes, or parked cars at the fair, paid for thatwell to be drilled and pump installed. I helped coordinate the process so that the American fundsgot to the local Rotary club in India and that small village gottheir well. The gladness in their hearts joined with mine, itwas a wonderful feeling. Many people work at “good deeds”not able to see results, but still believing in their hearts thatthey will happen. This one time I got to see it, and I knew thatthe women and children who, before had trudged daily manymiles to get the water needed for life, now had time to studyand work, and they and their lives would be better thanbefore.

#### Spaulding ClarkSpaulding ClarkSpaulding ClarkSpaulding Clark

Since it’s a great day to be a Rotarian, I decided to pondera bit about an issue of relevance to keep both gain andkeep members in Rotary.

As part of a district conference a couple of years ago, I hadreason to review a resigned member survey undertaken in2001. That survey indicated that the reason current membersstay is twofold: 1) fellowship and 2) service opportunities.Fellowship was the overwhelming #1 reason.

Interestingly, while fellowship was the overwhelming reasongiven for members staying in Rotary, it placed last among thereasons given for joining in the first place. Thus it wasevident that the reason for joining is often not the reason forstaying. And further, while many reasons were given forresignations, some obvious and logical, the lack of fellowshipwas not given as a significant reason for leaving.

I was somewhat disinclined to believe the latter conclusion asto reasons for leaving, since if fellowship is the primaryreason for staying; it follows that the lack thereof is logically areason for leaving, even if not expressed. I suspect that mostfolks are likely too polite to offend others by being candidabout how they were or were not treated.

So . . . back to fellowship

I suggest to you that fellowship is the most criticalcomponent in the initiation, education and retention ofmembers, both new and old, and is the critical reason for themajority of us staying Rotarians. So on a good day to be aRotarian, I leave you with the thought that personalrelationships are the critical element of the Rotaryexperience.

So it’s ok to hug a Rotarian today.

My exchange in Japan so far – It has been amazing.Already so many things have happened. I have worn akimono, eaten sushi and sashimi I have taught my host

family how to play a North American game called Yin YangPoint they taught me a game similar called Taco. I have gone toa Rotary meeting and introduced myself and learned how toput food on my plate properly (very important) I have notused a fork once except for the pancakes I had and I am doinggreat at using chopsticks. It has been so much fun! The thingthat surprised me is that The Japanese eat sea urchin and loveit. I didn't know anyone ate sea urchin and it’s not half bad.Also, my host family loves Canadian candy (my brotherCanada) bought me candy before I left home and my hostsiblings love it. Canadian candy is much sweeter and moresugary than Japanese candy. Japan is the most beautiful place I have ever laid eyes on it isa wonderful and delightful place the people are nice,understanding, kind and very helpful with helping me learnthe language and the culture and customs. I have learned somuch in just the few days I have been here and I want to thankmy host family for that. They are wonderful and very funny. Ialso want to thank my family in Canada and the Rotary clubsfor this amazing opportunity. September 4, 2013: On the 4th of September I was in classand at 9:26 a.m. we had a small earthquake, NOT big but little.Everyone looked calm as they continued with class and I wasscared I thought “oh no this is not good” but it was small.Nothing fell off desks or anything, but I was scared. My teacherlooked and saw my face and laughed. She was like “it’s a smallone; this happens almost once a week” and I was like “ok aslong as I don't die.” Everyone started laughing and so did I. Itwas funny because it happens all the time in Japan but neverin Canada. It was a cool, scary and new experience that isnormal in Japan. Just an example of the differences of Japanand Canada. I love Japan!

Le premier mois. So, I’m writing this in my histoire et géographie class on Friday,September 27, 2013 because I have two hours to spare. It’s been a bitover a month in France for me, and I still feel like an alien in this newworld. Everything is still so different to me, and I still have awhile before Iadapt to these changes. It has got to be one of the most frustrating things

not to be able to understand enough to dowell in school, and to constantly be referredto as that one American girl that doesn’tunderstand anything. Although this is true,my first month hasn’t been all negative byany means.

One of the very first things I ate in Francewas “pain au chocolat.” It’s a popular Frenchpastry with a moist breading surroundingtwo slices of sweet milk chocolate. Anotherthing I have a weak spot for is Haribo

Dragibus! Oh mon dieu . . . c’est délicieux! I try to limit myself though tothese treats. I say that as I stress about gaining those 10 kilos . . . ugh! I’vepicked up some dance lessons in St. Jean and I’ve been running as well inhopes to keep the weight off though. Et maintenant, le lycée . . . the first day of school (September 3) was byfar the most intimidating day of my life. As I walked into the school, myhands began to shake, and soon I felt my whole body freeze once I saw theglares. Susanna (ma deuxième mère d’accueil) and I had a hard timefinding my class (1er ES1); therefore, I ended up being a bit late . . . oops!It was so embarrassing walking into the class and being introduced as the“American girl that doesn’t know any French.” I then discretely greetedthe class with a “Bonjour” as I continued to take a seat in the back of theroom. The first day had begun for me at the lycée - a day I’ll never forget.

In general though, the students have been very kind and patient withme; though, I still have those few glares from some people. The teacherson the other hand have been AWFUL! And when I say awful, they reallyare that bad. With my school day sometimes not finishing until 5:30, I feelas though I can hardly bare them. I’ve never in my life encountered suchnasty, rude, and uninviting people. The worst are my French andmathematics professors. Yelling at me for not “listening” (when I reallywas, and writing down the words I didn’t understand), and making a bigdeal in front of the class because I didn’t do my homework was enoughfor me to realize that something needed to happen. Needless to say, myteachers didn’t even know who I was, nor an exchange student, and aftersome consulting with my CPE (counselor) and help from my host mom,it’s been better since.

I’ve already learned, seen, and experienced a myriad of new things, it’scrazy to me! I’ve learned that not everyone will like you in life, you’restronger than what you believe, and when in doubt, ALWAYS keep smilingeven if all’s you want to do is break down and cry wishing you were backin your home country with your family and friends. Since I arrived, I’vevisited Nîmes, Marseille, Cassis, the river in the mountains a couple times(where you can jump off of huge rocks into the water -- it’s awesome!),and much more. I look forward to the rest of this year, and what it’ll bringfor me. One month in, and so far it’s been all right! Et pour ma familled’accueil et pour mes amis du lycée, merci pour l’accueil chaleureux’.) Itmeans so much to me!

Years ago, the public school system had an attendance

report that teachers had to file at the end of the year. It

recorded every student, every day they were in

attendance. All the columns had to be added horizontally and

vertically and the lower right numbers had to match. The

report was the “CATen Y.” Teachers called the ten-eyed cat.

In contrast, our Semi-Annual Report, or “SAR” is not nearly

so daunting, but many of us face it with trepidation. There is

an easier way. First, use the 6380 website to report changes

in membership as soon as they occur. This keeps your

upcoming SAR accurate, leaving you little to do but verify the

report. Next, “opt in” at Rotary.org to receive and transact

the SAR electronically. If you have reported changes in

membership regularly, it is a snap. Check for accuracy and

sign off. If you have a last-minute change, it can easily be

recorded here.

The Rotary Leadership Institute is Saturday, October 19

in our own District in Ridgetown, Ontario, Canada. This

program gives our Rotarians the opportunity to gain a

much greater understanding of what Rotary is really all

about and to hone leadership skills that will help make a

Rotary club much more dynamic and effective as it strives to

Serve others, Change Lives, and Promote Peace.

Go to www.rligreatlakes.org and register for the institute.

We will meet on the campus of Guelph University in

Ridgetown. Arrangements have been made for Rotarians

who arrive in Ridgetown on Friday to stay at the Comfort

Inn. Information is on the website. In addition to a wonderful

experience, these institutes offer a chance to meet Rotarians

from clubs in our own district and from the four other

districts in our division.

The institute curriculum is divided in three parts, and they

are taken in order. All three parts will be offered at this

institute. There is registration and breakfast at 8 a.m., classes

from 9 a.m. to noon, lunch, and afternoon sessions from 1

p.m. to 4 p.m.

This meeting site is the same campus that our Rotary Youth

Leadership Awards weekend is held each year in May. For

those who have never had a chance to come to Ridgetown for

that weekend, this is a great opportunity to see where our

students build their own leadership skills.

youth involvement by their club, has initiated meetings of

potential groups of young adults 18-30 years of age. On

August 24, club members met with newly arrived students at

Rochester College and on September 10 attended Grizz Fest

at Oakland University. Their outreach resulted in interest by

more than 100 students. A Rotaract meeting will be held at

both locations in October to introduce Rotary to these

students and develop interest in forming of two Rotaract
