As you well know, in October we celebrate the establishment of Vocational Service as the second Avenue of Service for Rotary. The first Rotary club in Chicago organized a committee on business methods, which became an integral part of the club. Delegates at the 1912 Rotary Convention adopted the motto, introduced by Arthur Frederick Sheldon, “He profits most who serves best”, which led to the Code of Ethics, adopted in 1915, signify-ing Rotary’s leadership in fighting corruption and unfair business practices. For the first decades of Rotary’s history, the concepts of Vocational Ser-vice guided Rotarians in their own places of busi-ness. Rotarians were encouraged to make contri-butions in their own workplaces. Today however, guided by the principles of Rotary’s Four Way Test and the Object of Rotary, Rotarians all over the world are using their voca-tional skills and monetary contributions to improve the quality of life in their own as well as the world communities. In our clubs, we have many such vocational service programs that are committed to promoting those ideals of high ethical standards of operation. Whether it be the “Quarterly Recogni-tion of Excellent Teachers” by the Rotary Club of Santa Barbara; or the “Character Counts Program for Teens” by the Rotary Club of Bakersfield; or the “Weekly Vocational Visit” program by the Ro-tary Club of Simi Sunrise; or the “Blue Jacket Awards” program by the Rotary Club of China Lake; or the “Ethics Conferences” offered by the Rotary Clubs of Atascadero and Montecito; or the “Business of the Month” program by the Rotary Club of Inyokern…they are all based on “The ap-
plication of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business and community life.” – the third Object of Rotary principle! Upholding these principles of operation is nei-ther easy nor popular. But I know we Rotarians are not easily dissuaded by obstacles…look at what we have undertaken to do with Polio eradica-tion! All of your clubs’ vocational service pro-grams, even those that I didn’t mention here, are worthy endeavors and I congratulate each and every one of you for pursuing them and promoting the ideals of…Is it the Truth...Is it Fair to All Con-cerned…Will it Build Goodwill and Better Friend-ship…and Will it be Beneficial to All Concerned! In October, in our district, we also celebrate Vocational Service Month by welcoming the GSE (Group Study Exchange) Team from other coun-tries. Lead by Rotarian Tony Haining, this year the GSE Team of four young professionals will be visiting us from District 9810 in Melbourne, Austra-lia. If you haven’t heard…the team members are Ms. Bryony Grice – a Sustainable Irrigation Pro-ject Manager; Ms. Karen Mead – a Clinical Psy-chologist; Mr. Ken Beer – a Road Safety Engi-neer; and Mr. Andrew Leitch – a Winemaker. They will be with us from October 1 – 28. Please go to district website – www.rotarydistrict5240.org and look under the Foundation tab to view the GSE Team Visitation Schedule. I hope you will all offer a warm District 5240 welcome to our guests from down under as they visit your area and/or your clubs! You will also have a chance to meet this year’s GSE Team members, the General Secretary of Rotary International Ed Futa, Polio survivor Dis-trict Governor Ann Lee Hussey and Calcutta Met-ropolitan Rotary Club President Jayanta Chatterji personally at the “Pit Stops” of this year’s “The Race to Eradicate Polio” progressive party District Conference on October 22nd or 23rd. I am looking forward to seeing most of you at this year’s Con-ference, as we have really gone out on a limb to
bring the party to you.

Your “crazy” Governor has made Conference Chair Stewart Fries’s life quite a challenge by making him think “outside the box” for arranging this Conference! Please support his effort by going to the district website TODAY, printing out the registration form and mailing it in. You will make this OCIW Governor very happy by doing so!
Finally, I ask each one of you to celebrate the Vocational Ser-vice month with me by remembering to…
“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appre-ciate beauty; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fernando Martin Santamaria, who goes by Martin, is from Maipu, Argentina. His father is a Veterinarian/Farmer of Cattle and his mother is an Agrono-mist/Teacher. Agronomy is the science and technology of using plants for food, fuel, feed, fiber, and reclamation. Agronomy encompasses work in the areas of plant genetics, plant physiology, meteorology, and soil science. Agronomy is the application of a combination of sciences like biology, chem-
istry, ecology, earth science, and genetics.
George J. Majoue
Dear RC of SM leaders,
See below. If Mr Ortiz thinks we need to be there then I would like us to be there. I will attend, who can join me?
Will also announce to club at the meeting.
Thanks, Bob Frias
Santa Maria Area Club Presidents; on this Tuesday October 19th, the Santa Maria City Council will be declaring October 24th as World Polio Day in Santa Maria. We need to get some of our Rotarians there in support of this proclamation. This will be read at the first part of the meeting which begins at 6:30PM at the City Hall Council Chambers. Several District 5240 Rotary Clubs are being recognize at various city councils around our District 5240 boundaries on this day. I ask that you get some representation from each of your Clubs there. Nipomo Club is welcome too; as they are considered a "Santa Maria Area Rotary Club". Thanks in advance for your attention and support of this endeavor; and BIG thanks to City Manager Tim Ness for getting this proclamation
on with short notice!

A Memorial Service for our good friend and fellow Rotarian, Ned Rickett, was held at St. Andrews Church, Saturday the 16th. I have not been to a lot of Memorial Services but this one was well done; fabulous to say the least. Several friends and relatives spoke of their experiences with Ned. It is amazing what a great man Ned was. Ned’s life was indeed one of “Service Above Self”. I did not know Ned for a long time but I admired him for his love of people and his love of Rotary. I learned much more about Ned listening to people speak and I was inspired to try to be more like him. He is a great role model. One could never go wrong emulating his love and compassion for people. I for one will miss Ned but I will never forget him. We should make Ned’s birthday, May 30th, a Rotary “Ned Rickett” day. (How many of you knew that Gillian is actually from Indiana)
Many thanks to Patrice Mosby for stepping
up to host the last remaining member of the
GSE Team, and to Roy Dugger for volun-
teering to drive one of the GSE Team
members for his vocational visit on Mon-
day, October 25th.
I still need one or two volunteers to drive
GSE Team members for their vocational
visits on Monday. If you can spare some
time on October 25th please let me, John
Henning, know. My work number is 922-
6657 and my home number is 937-5435.

Vision Statement
During these more difficult economic times we must encourage and lend a hand to our own members. We do so much for others but without retaining our membership and having fun, there would be no base from which to help others. If you are an employer wanting to submit a job, send your information to: [email protected]
Click this link, then click on “Service”, then click the “Rotarians Helping Rotarians” tab.
Most, if not all of these jobs, appear to be out of our area. If anyone has or knows of a job opportunity please let me
know and I will post it in the Rotator. Also please feel free to let Jane Trapp know about it. [email protected]

Ned has it right. It is all about people. Rotary is all about people. Without people there would be no Rotary. Here are a few of the really great people that make up our club. There were approximately 17, plus Frank & Pat. There is room for more. Next year lets
go for 30. Good food, good drinks and really great people make for a really great time.

Editor’s Note: I have finally learned how to do “imbedded hot links.” In the past you would see the full URL address to the Website. Now you will see verbiage such as “The Rotary Club of Santa Maria” which you can know is a hot link as your cursor will turn into a little hand as you hover over the link. In addition “links” are usually blue in color and underlined. I
hope this makes your reading of The Rotator, on line, more enjoyable and rewarding.
