"Of the things we think, say or do: 1. Is it the Truth? 2. Is it Fair to all concerned? 3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships? 4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?"

The Object of

Rotary 1. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service; 2. High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society; 3. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life; 4. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

Foundation Facts

THE ROTARY FOUNDATION WEEKLY MESSAGES (By Rotarians for Rotarians) WHAT IS A ROTARY FOUNDATION BENEFACTOR? A Rotary Foundation Benefactor is a person who has notified The Rotary Foundation that he/she has made provisions in his/her final estate plans to Rotary, or made an outright gift of $1,000 or more, to the Rotary Foundation’s Endowment Fund. Benefactors receive a commemorative certificate, a letter of appreciation, and a royal blue and gold ribbon insignia to be attached to a Rotary or PHF pin. A US$1,000 gift to The Foundation creates a legacy of helping people live better lives around the world.

Signature Project 2020 Dear Members, As the President has previously announced, with the consolidation of accumulated funds from the merged clubs, the Board has agreed in principle that we should embark on a major Signature Project in 2020. For this purpose, we propose allocating around $25,000 - $30,000. The intention is that this project should go beyond supporting on an ongoing basis, all of the traditional activities of the merged clubs. As yet no formal criteria for the project has been established, but the intention is that it should have a major impact in our community and also lift our profile as a modern and vibrant Rotary Club, within the cities of Monash and Kingston. The first step is to brainstorm member input on detailed objectives and Project ideas. We will have this on the agenda for detailed discussion at our meeting on Wednesday 9th October. Then all Committees and individual members will have the option / obligation to develop PROJECT PROPOSALS for consideration by the Board at the meeting scheduled for Wednesday 27th November. The Board looks forward to your enthusiastic input to the development of this project, and RotaryOCH doing something special next year, that we can all be proud of. So, get your thinking caps on!

Joke of the Week A boss asks his employee, “Do you believe that there is life after death?” The employee answered, “Certainly not, there’s no proof of it.” The boss replies, “Well, there is now. After you left early yesterday to go to your brother’s funeral, he came here looking for you.”

Rotary International News

People of action around the globe By Brad Webber

As many as 1 in 3 children in the United States say they have been bullied at school. United States In suburban Denver, a Rotary anti-bullying program has reached more than 2,000 elementary school pupils. The Peaceful Schools Program, developed by the Rotary clubs of Denver Southeast, Highlands Ranch (Littleton), and Parker, was created in 2014 by Carole Baumbusch. A template created by Operation Respect, a nonprofit focused on helping children develop into ethical and compassionate adults, was adapted to add a Rotary twist: “It teaches character development using The Four-Way Test,” Baum-busch says. The program is delivered by high school students, who are trained by Rotarians. Cayman Islands On 28 March, the three Rotary clubs in this British overseas territory unveiled an open-air children’s education center. Charles, Prince of Wales, cut the ribbon at the facility on the grounds of Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park. The $180,000 center was funded by the Rotary clubs of Central Cayman Islands, Grand Cayman, and Grand Cayman Sunrise. The Rotary Club of Grand Cayman also donated a Mamava pod, a $20,000 lactation room, to Owen Roberts International Airport in George Town. “We wanted to offer nursing mums a clean, private area to nurse or pump,” says club member Justin Bodden. United Kingdom For 15 years, the annual Technology Tournament, hosted by the three Rotary clubs in York, has helped stimulate student interest in technology and fostered a spirit of team-work. This year, the challenge for the 16 four-person teams was to design and assemble a flashing beacon using supplied parts. Judges awarded points to teams in three age groups for their design, success of construction, and scripted commentary on how they approached the engineering challenge. The Rotary clubs of York, York Ainsty, and York Vikings funded the competition, with support from sponsors including the University of York. South Africa When drought drove thousands of flamingos to abandon their chicks at a reservoir that serves as a breeding ground for the birds, the Rotary Club of Fourways Main Reef, Johannesburg, sprang into action, providing lactate solution, food, blankets, and saline solution to a conservation group. “Sometimes life works in magical ways,” says club member Ingrid Sellschop, who had seen a social media post about the flamingo chicks’ plight that prompted the club members to get involved in late January. “A friend from my school days, who runs the VulPro vulture rehab program at the Hartbeespoort dam, contacted me requesting help when she saw that our

club was collecting items and money for the rescue.” Many conservation centers around the country were involved in relocating the chicks and eggs to safe environments. “I was fortunate enough to be able to assist with feeding the little flamingo chicks in the first week that they arrived at the VulPro center,” Sellschop says. The mission ended happily with healthy hatchlings, and dam water levels have since risen, improving conditions for the flocks.

Austria and Germany More than 100 winter sports enthusiasts hit the slopes during Ski Week, organized by the Rotary Club of Oberstdorf-Kleinwalsertal, a border-crossing club in the Allgäu Alps. The celebration lured Rotarians from the European Union, Russia, Turkey, and the United States. A similar gathering was held two months earlier in Telluride, Colorado. “We were able to show that in Bavaria and Austria you will not only find great ski slopes, but also genuine Rotarian hospitality,” says Andreas Kaenders. Participants also raised more than $7,800 to help children with tuberous sclerosis complex, a genetic disease that causes tumors in various organs of the body.
