Our club was elated to receive both the Presidential Citation and an award from the Dis-trict Governor for having championed the best proj-ect in the District for our Rotary Hospital in Mukono.

Among the other speakers was Azim Jamal who talked about the Power of giving. I therefore wish to share a few of highlights that are so relevant to the Rotary movement:

President’s MessageContinued from pg 1

GIVING IS A JOY AND A BLESSINGGiving attracts wealth – the more you give, the more abundance you invite into your life. It invites independence and interdependence, not depen-dence; as your focus is on giving, not on taking.

Giving leads to family harmony because everyone likes to be around people who give. Also, you are able to forgive those who may have hurt you.

Giving improves your health as you feel positive and upbeat when you are a giver. It invites hap-piness, as the best way to find happiness, is to give happiness.

Giving turns negative thoughts into positive thoughts. Giving takes you away from being a vic-tim to someone who is grateful for what he or she has.

Richness is ultimately defined by how much you give, not how much you have. Giving is a joy and a blessing!

WHEN YOU GIVE, YOU GET!The moment you give – whether it is money, a gift, a prayer or even a positive thought – you create an instantaneous response.

Firstly, you feel good about your giving, creating a positive energy within you. Second, the good feel-ing you created within the receiver is reciprocated directly or indirectly.

Third, the universal law kicks in – when you give, you get! Once you give, subconsciously you know that it will be returned to you. This makes you confident, thus attracting more.Sometimes the response to your giving is tangible. In most cases the response is intangible. Either way, when you give, you get!

As true Rotarians giving should be second nature to us and if it has not yet become a part of you, make the effort today and see how much joy it will bring you.

Light Up Rotary,

90th DCA PictorialWhat it was at the 90th DCA

Trust Uganda Rotarians and Rotaractors to flock a DCA. A total of 900 Ro-tarians and Rotaractors from Uganda, out of a del-egate total of 1150 filled Kunduchi beach hotel, and several sorrouding ho-tels, lodges, and go-cools.Some of the Rotarians and Rotaractors drove their cars, others went by bus and a majority flew to Dar, and had a four-day bonanza of fun, fellowship and learning, and lazying around.

Credit must be given to the Dar Rotarians who or-ganized the District Con-ference and assembly. It was efficiently run. It was so interesting and I can break it down as follows:

The SPEAKERS. Some of the best you could get, anywhere. Chief guest Obasanjo spoke about Polio in Nigeria, and the african politics. The best was a one jamal who spoke about the beauty of giving. He said that when a cow stops giv-ing milk, it dies.There was an american young lady called Shanon Henn, who spoke about raising funds with or through fun and she calls Fun-raising. The most captivating was a rotarian from Rotary Club of Mwika in Kilimanjaro called Young Kimaro who showcased a rotary proj-ect that was amazing.The katikiro of buganda also, Dazzled with his speech on Leading volunteers. He was allso an item in

terms exciting Rotarians who were very happy to see him at close range and could shout a Toffali without fearing his usually tough askari.

The PROGRAM: Interesting but too congested.

The Meals.Generally good .The serving areas had a wonderfull ambience of the white sandy beach, but sometimes sweaty.

TRANSPORT. This was the most efficient committe. No one complained of being late or being left at a venue.

Entertainment: The most exciting entertainment was from Ugandan Rotar-ians, ie Kampala north, Bweyogerere-Nambole and Ssesse., Then there was the laser , or digi-tal stuff imported from Ukraine, but it was good.

The other thing you may want to know is that RTN Ken Mugisha was voted as DGN-designate.So, join me to welcome him as our next Rotary District leader. Also wedlcome DG Rob-ert Waggwa Nsibirwa and Rotary year 2015/16

I love to reflect on the theme of the month, these help us in our rotary journey, and they relay a message rotary is com-municating. Every month has a different theme unique to rotary and this month our centre of reflection is the MAGAZINE.

The official rotary magazine is THE ROTAR-IAN which was first published in 1911, and is currently a monthly publication and is subscribed to by all Rotarians. The maga-zine shows how Rotary is addressing issues in areas such as disease prevention, ma-ternal and child health, literacy, peace

and conflict resolution, economic devel-opment, and clean water. THE ROTARIAN challenges readers to become more in-volved in service to their neighbourhoods and to the global community. In 2012, THE ROTARIAN swept the Media Industry News-letter awards with 10 editorial and design honours – more than twice the number of any other publication.

Today there are many regional magazines under the Rotary World Magazine Press published in 25 different languages; how-ever the Rotarian remains the main publi-cation. This draws our attention also to our very own Namuziga, and the Wave of our dis-trict. These magazines play a very impor-tant role in the lives, activities and programs of Rotarians. We share the information and stories every Rotarian needs to read.

No wonder, there are awards aimed at rewarding the best magazines. In this magazine month you could think of how each one of could contribute to a stronger magazine.

Humour

A lawyer is standing in a long line at the box office. Suddenly, he feels a pair of hands knead-ing his shoulders, back, and neck.

The lawyer turns around and asks, “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” “I’m a chi-ropractor and I’m just keeping in practice while I’m waiting in line.” “Well, I’m a lawyer, but you don’t see me screwing the guy in front of me, do you?”

PP Ken Mugisha was at the 90th District Conference & Assembly in Dar nominat-ed & Elected as the DGN Designate for D9211, thus will be the District Governor for the Rotary Year 2017/18.
