ROTARY INTERNATIONAL District 6380 News February 2012

District Governor Stephen Youtz and Mary Youtz

Volume 54, Book 8, Chapter 1

February was a great month with a lot to reflect on!Maybe it’s because we had 29 days for success insteadof the usual 28. If so, I guess this analogy means we’ll

need to wait another four years to have another greatmonth; I certainly hope not!

The month started out with a bang as Interact Dayattracted more than 100 youth and many Rotarians whosepassion for youth drives their participation in programsand projects. I personally experienced the energy thatdevelops when working on projects as I helped make get‐well cards for kids in the hospital. I sat in on a presentationthat outlined the steps used to ensure a successful project.I continue to be amazed at how our youth simplify andexecute solutions to everyday problems. We can certainlylearn something from them.

And then there was the Membership Summit. There were70‐80 attendees with the same goal of learning what worksin retaining and growing club membership.  Programs,energy level, the simple ASK, followup, the use of socialmedia, and much more was presented which stimulatedconversation and new ideas to be tried. In general, it’s notmagic or rocket science that drive membership growth, it’syou and the story of hope you tell that attract the newmembers.

Rotary celebrated its 107th birthday this month whichagain illustrates the longevity of a healthy, well‐organizedand managed organization. In all that I’m involved in, I’mjust fortunate someone invited me to visit a Rotary club soI can celebrate birthdays with the best darn organization inthe world!

As we approach the end of the third Rotary quarter I ampleased with the proactive attitude of our clubs. The statusof SAR reports and Rotary International and district duesare ahead of the first half year; work toward thePresidential Citation is well underway though noapplications for the ChangeMaker Award have beenreceived; fund‐raisers are well underway with someimpressive results; and projects, well, there are so manygreat projects. Like an expecting parent, I can hardly waitto see the results.

March is Literacy Month and April is Magazine Month. Wehave a great opportunity to make a difference in the livesof those who can’t read or comprehend, and then topromote the message of need, hope, and success.

A vocational training team (VTT) from District 6380conducted a project implementation for the BioSandfilter and a Community Health Promotion Workshop in

Cuenca, Ecuador on February 10‐12. The VTT included PaulEarwaker and Eva Manzano of CAWST; Erica Gwynn, formerRotary Ambassador Scholar; Lindsay Nicoson, Ann ArborRotaract; and Gary Sobotta project leader of the Novi RotaryClub. The training was conducted entirely in Spanish withoutusing an interpreter. Twenty‐four community health workersand designated technicians from the Rotary clubs ofEsmeraldas, Gualaceo, Tomebamba‐Cuenca and Zarumaattended the workshop.    Technicians received instruction and hands‐on experience inthe construction of the filter, including molding and curing ofthe concrete housings, selection and installation of graded sandmedia, manufacture of diffuser basins and lids. Participantsgained a clear understanding of the rationale behind the filterdesign, how to install it and instruct householders on its correctusage to ensure the proper and consistent use of the filters inEcuador.    The community health workers received more in‐depthtraining on health, sanitation, and BioSand filter operation andmaintenance so that they can help others use and maintaintheir filters properly. The VTT developed training materialappropriate to the physical and cultural conditions of the localpopulation. During their visit in May 2011, the VTT discoveredsanitation and hygiene training materials proposed for use inthe Ecuadorian public school system by Rotary District 4400.The VTT reviewed the material and adapted it to the CASWTtraining material. Sanitation and hygiene improvement dependson the degree to which the local community understands valuesand assimilates them within their own family and communitycontexts.   After the workshop, the VTT met with each club conducting aproject planning exercise. This shared visioning exerciseprovided a useful framework for a club to consider and develop a coherent, shared set ofgoals, and values for the project. By providing an opportunity for each club member toarticulate and shape hopes and expectations for the project, a shared vision will create aculture that values the full and effective participation of all of its members.    During the first phase of the project, each club will complete 20 filters to determine thetrue cost of manufacturing for each region, and the acceptance of implementing the filterinto the community. The clubs expect the first phase of the project to be completed byJuly 1.   The VTT will use two components to evaluate the effectiveness of the project – a waterquality testing of the source water and subsequent water testing to determine theremoval rates of the containments; also, a questionnaire to study and continuouslymonitor and evaluate the efficacy of the BioSand filter and health/hygiene programsimplemented in selected Ecuadorian communities.   The workshop is just the beginning of the knowledge and skill transfer process. TheVTT will provide ongoing consulting and support via email, telephone and site visits tosupport the training participants with their projects and continue to enhance theircapabilities. The VTT will provide technical and implementation support in programdevelopment, troubleshooting, network building and project management. On request,custom consultation will be provided.   You can follow the progress of the project on its Facebook page Agua Limpia EcuadorUse the “Like” button to share the content with your friends on Facebook.

Berkley Rotary Club member still going strong after 56 years of perfect attendanceFebruary 14, 2012 By Jeremy Selweski C & G Staff WriterjSelweski@candgnews.com  (586) 218­5004 BERKLEY — Committing over fivedecades of one’s time to helping otherswithout ever taking a break seems likea remarkable achievement by almostany standard, but for Fred Bernstein,it’s nothing special.   Bernstein, 83, of Farmington Hills wasrecently honored by the Berkley RotaryClub for boasting perfect attendance forthe past 56 years. He has never misseda meeting since first joining the club inJanuary 1956.   “It’s not compulsory to attend everymeeting, but it was never really a bigdeal for me,” said Bernstein, a retiredpodiatrist whose former office waslocated on 12 Mile Road, right down thestreet from where the Berkley clubmeets. “I felt like I was just going out tolunch every Monday and spending timewith some friends.”   Rotary International — ahumanitarian service organizationfounded in 1905 and sporting the motto“Service above self” — allows itsmembers to make up meetings at anyclub location in the world if theyhappen to miss one. As an avid traveler,Bernstein has attended Rotary Clubmeetings in places as far from home asNorway, Israel, England, Mexico andHawaii. No matter where he and hiswife of 57 years, Sandra, travel acrossthe globe, a weekly meeting with thelocal Rotary Club is always on theiritinerary.   “It’s been such a wonderfulexperience being part of thisorganization,” Bernstein said. “I’ve meta lot of great people and been to a lot ofamazing places.”   Bernstein is modest when askedabout the key to achieving perfectattendance for so many years. “I’vebeen very blessed with good health,” hesaid, “so that has definitely helped mekeep this going.”   But his strong physical condition isnot just a happy coincidence. Even at83, Bernstein works out six days aweek, driving himself to the BeverlyHills Club fitness center to take part in

swimming, tennis, weight training andcardiovascular exercise.   Bernstein is proud of the work that hehas done with Berkley Rotary over theyears and all the friendships that he hasmade. He is especially supportive of theorganization’s youth exchange andstudent scholarship programs.   He and his wife hosted an exchangestudent from Norway about 25 yearsago, and what began as part of his clubservice blossomed into a lifelongrelationship. Years later, the Bernsteinstraveled to Norway to attend the girl’swedding, and since that time, she andher family have stayed with theBernsteins when they’ve come to theU.S. to visit. “We’re like part of herfamily at this point,” Bernstein said. “It’sbeen really nice.”   Bernstein’s unwavering commitmenthas made other Rotarians take notice.Darlene Glogower, president of theBerkley Rotary Club, often marvels athis high energy level and his dedicationto public service. She noted thatBernstein is always the top ticket sellerfor the 20‐member club’s annualpancake breakfast, its biggestfundraiser.   “Fred is just a fabulous person and awonderful asset to the club,” she said.“If he goes to a meeting in a differentcountry, he always brings back a littleflag as proof that he was there. Some ofthe other club members have beenaround for almost as long as him, butnone of them have perfect attendance.He’s a very involved and devotedmember.”   Cheryl Rogers, superintendent ofClawson Public Schools, met Bernsteina few weeks ago when he sat in on ameeting at the Clawson Rotary Club.She was amazed after learning ofBernstein’s 56‐year perfect attendance,and she was equally impressed by hisstories of his travels all over the world.   “When you think about how much ofour lives these days is experienced infront of a computer, to me, it’s verynoble that he’s reached out to so many

people anddeveloped allthese greatpersonalrelationships,”Rogers said. “Ifeel likeestablishingthose kinds offriendships inthis day and ageis reallymonumental.”   For Bernstein,though, theimpetus for allthose greatrelationships andexperiences was not his own initiative,but the Rotary Club itself. He gives allthe credit to the organization forgetting him hooked on public serviceand for all the work that it has done tohelp improve communities worldwide.   He also pointed out that the Berkleyclub is always seeking new members.The group meets every Monday from12:15‐1:30 p.m. at the Berkley FirstUnited Methodist Church, 2820 W. 12Mile Road, and all are welcome toattend.   “This is an international organizationthat does so many wonderful things,”he said. “We’re always looking foryoung blood to keep it going, and Ithink we’ve done pretty well forourselves. A lot of civic organizationshave gone under in recent years, butthe Rotary Club is one of the few thathas managed to survive.”

book for third and fourth graders about making healthy choices, and doing what's right.    SRSLY (text language for “seriously”) will work with the Chelsea District Library'sArtist‐in‐Resident Jerzy Drozd to create a coloring comic book about a character named CPTNSRSLY (Captain SRSLY), and his team of Super Master Sentinels (SMS). They battle the ManiacalMonster Syndicate (MMS) to prevent the spread of evil.    Andrew Ingall, Executive Director of Instruction for the Chelsea School District, and Bill Harmer,Director of the Chelsea District Library are both members of the Rotary Club in Chelsea, and keypartners on the CPTN SRSLY project.    “Comic books can edify students on issues relevant to them, such as bullying, cultural awareness,and health and wellness,” said Harmer. “The medium is fast becoming a more favored promotionbecause it stirs a unique and communal excitement, stimulating a sense of sharing and adventurethat's contagious.”   For decades, comic books were scorned and thought of as threats to children's brain cells. Now,teachers, researchers, and librarians are taking a new look at comics and they like what they see: away, in a culture now dominated by mobile devices, TV, video games, and the Internet, to getchildren reading. Educators now openly acknowledge that comic books have a motivatinginfluence in literacy development for children, especially young boys. This nontraditional type ofliterature is highly visual, contains complex literary elements, and lends itself to criticalexamination of moral, ethical, and social issues.   “CPTN SRSLY is about engaging kids in the prevention message, and promoting positiveprotective factors like family and community involvement, and school bonding,” said ReileyCurran, SRSLY Coalition Director and also a member of the Chelsea Rotary Club. “The comic booksare a fun way for kids to learn these concepts.”   Development of the CPTN SRSLY book is already underway. Artist Jerzy Drozd is developingcharacters and the story line, which will be presented to the project team and teachers for input inMarch. Books will be finalized, printed and distributed to students through the school and libraryin April for Literacy Month.
