Alice’s Aspirations

Welcome to February and the birthday month of Rotary! Four businessmen,

sitting around a room discussing business, the weather, local conditions—not

too many things change over a century, do they? A good Rotary meeting can be

a noisy event every week especially when we’re getting work done.

The February Rotarian with President Banerjee’s message reminds us that we

should not be keeping our projects quiet, but sharing them with our friends and

neighbors. Our president reminds us that we do not participate in treaties or

political decisions. It’s usually one individual helping another, often face to face.

This is an exciting time for District 7370 with our Group Study Exchange Team

leaving for four weeks in The Philippines, Linda Naugle, Berwick, leaving on her

first Polio Mission in India with three Rotarians from D. 7350, and Susana Falck

preparing another grant that will involve so many members. You may feel

rather removed from this activity around the district, but you’re able to tell oth-

ers what WE’RE DOING!

District Conference is still two months away but we’re hoping to have each

club represented. The presidents have been working diligently this year and

we’ll recognize them at the Dinner on Saturday night. If this will be your first

conference, you are urged to take advantage of all the programs offer.

Those in leadership positions for the next Rotary year are in the process of

being trained and will be prepared to step into their new roles very soon.

Thanks go to the clubs for their cooperation in reporting the officers for 2012-

2013. The district restructuring committee has been working diligently making

certain the Four Way Test has been applied to the new District 7360 as of July.

Next month I’m hoping to list the contributions to The Rotary Foundation so

far this year. Some clubs are doing well meeting their goals and others seem to

be waiting for the end of the year to come forward. We need your commit-

ments to continue making a difference in the world and in our communities.

Remember to support your Interact Clubs whenever they’re doing their best

for mankind. Interact-ors and Rotoract-ors are the future Rotarians.

The 2012 District 7370 GSE Team to the Philippines are from top left, Melissa Meade, Lewisburg Sunset Rotary Club member and

Team leader John Kador, top right, and bottom left, Stacey Minarsky and Nicole Quinlan. The four member team departs on Feb-

ruary 24 and will return March 25, 2012.

Meet the 7370 GSE TEAM and TEAM LEADER to the Philippines

A pediatric psychologist at Geisinger Medical Center, Nicole Quinlan hopes to visit psychologists in Filipino

urban and rural medical facilities to share best practices related to behavioral and mental health care. She is

especially interested in learning about treatment programs to help young victims of abuse and children and

families battling pediatric obesity. As an artist who paints and sells her work throughout the Susquehanna

Valley, Quinlan also anticipates touring art galleries and meeting Filipino artists.

Sharing experiences and living with host Filipino Rotarians and their families will help expand my understand-

ing of their culture. I’m looking forward to developing a better understanding of the Philippines, its history,

the arts, customs, workforce, health care system, and to exploring the similarities and differences between

Filipino and Central Pennsylvania and American culture,” she said.

Quinlan earned a B.S. in psychology and art from Princeton University, NJ, and her Ph.D. in clinical psychol-

ogy from Duke University, Durham, NC. She and her husband Richard live in Danville. Her sponsor for the

GSE Exchange is the Lewisburg Sunset Rotary Club.

Stacey Minarsky, who has not previously traveled outside the United States, hopes the GSE exchange to

the Philippines will enhance her cultural awareness and provide her with many opportunities to meet and

interact not only with the members of Filipino host Rotary clubs and their families but also citizens from all

walks of life. “I also hope to grow professionally from seeing firsthand the practices and procedures ap-

plied by Filipino medical imaging technologists,” she said. She enjoys outdoor sports year round and wants

to explore what Filipinos do for fitness and leisure activities.

Minarsky earned her B.S. degree in Medical Imaging from Bloomsburg University and certification from the

Geisinger Medical Center where she completed her clinical requirements and an MBA in Business Admini-

stration from Bloomsburg University. Employed as an x-ray technologist in orthopedics at Geisinger Medi-

cal Center, Stacey’s sponsoring club is the Rotary Club of Danville.

Melissa Meade, a Ph.D. candidate and instructor at Temple University in Philadelphia, hopes to learn some

of the Filipino languages and visit universities, mining industries, and organizations that facilitate sending

Filipino workers abroad. “This GSE experience will provide invaluable opportunities for me to meet and

interact with Filipinos and their families. I am interested in learning about both the Filipino mining indus-

tries and the process through which Filipinos go abroad to work. I hope to visit mining operations and or-

ganizations that send Filipino service workers to other countries and gain familiarity with Filipino culture

and history, especially in relationship to Spain and the United States. In addition, I look forward to meeting

university professors and film makers to exchange best practices,” she said.

She was also a visiting professor at the Instituto Tecnólogico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey, Cam-

pus Querétaro, Mexico. In 2000-2001, she was a Rotary Ambassadorial Scholar and studied abroad for one

year at the University of the Basque Country, Donostia-San Sebastián in Spain.

Meade earned a B.A. in Spanish and English with a minor in Women’s Studies from Albright College, Read-

ing, Pennsylvania, her M.S.Ed in Sociolinguistics and Intercultural Communication from the University of

Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and an M.S. in Intercultural Studies from the University of the Basque Country.

She is studying to obtain a Ph.D. degree in Mass Media and Communication at Temple University in Phila-

delphia where she teaches communication and film courses and conducts research.

Lewisburg Sunset Rotarian John Kador, self-employed as a business magazine columnist, and the author of

more than 10 business books on leadership, management, finance, and business ethics, will lead the team

on a month-long Rotary Group Study Exchange (GSE) from February 24 through March 25, 2012.

Born in Budapest, Hungary, John’s family immigrated to the USA when he was six years old.

International Service has always been one of John’s favorite parts of being a Rotarian. He and his wife Ro-

tarian Anna Beth Payne, have hosted five youth exchange students from France, Poland, Brazil, Finland, and

Australia, and GSE Teams from Japan and Brazil. Having international guests in his home created a desire to

travel to another country, so John is honored, delighted, and excited to lead our D7370 GSE Team from

Pennsylvania to the Philippines.

John earned a degree in English from Duke University in Durham, NC and another degree in public relations

from The American University in Washington, DC. He started his writing career as a science reporter for a

daily newspaper and then went on to jobs as a technical writer, advertising copywriter, and public relations

writer. He has been an independent business writer since 1986, and has authored more than ten business

books on leadership, management, finance, and business ethics and writes monthly columns in three busi-

ness magazines.

Funded by Rotary District 7370 and The Rotary Foundation, the GSE cultural exchange offers a unique oppor-

tunity for team members to learn about their host country’s history and culture, develop personal leadership

and team-building skills, promote business networking, and establish life-long friendships. A reciprocal team

from District 3860 Visayas, Philippines, visited Central Pennsylvania from April 7 through May 6, 2011.

The Rotary GSE Team to the Philippines will maintain a blog while on their month-long tour and invite Rotari-

ans to subscribe and follow their progress at their recently created blog site at:

District 7360 Update

We’re getting close! I just came back from training in San Diego (if you have to attend a training meeting in

January, San Diego is a great choice). It was as advertised – a very busy week with intense training and great

camaraderie.

It brought to light a couple of points about District 7360. First, as you may know, D7360 is the first merger of

two districts in North America. This fact creates a great deal of curiosity about us. Second, never complain

about the size of our district, one district (in Russia) has 9 time zones while another consists of clubs in ten

countries on three continents.

Third, and most import, our clubs are facing the same issues as clubs throughout the world. Whether you are in

a small club or a large one, we all have things we could do better and that we need to improve upon if Rotary

is to remain relevant all the way through the 21st century.

As for our district, things are moving along. The presidents-elect are meeting in six different evening sessions

as they get ready for President-Elect Training on March 2 & 3. The merger committee is meeting again in

February to put the finishing touches on a few more details. All in all, we are heading into a very exciting

time as together we launch District 7360.

-Jim Eberly,

District 7360 Governor-Elect

RYLA 2012 IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!

Even though it is still cold, and snow can still be in the forecast…it is not too soon to start thinking about

warmer weather and the summer months. And, when one thinks of June, it is hard not to think about RYLA!!

RYLA will mark its eighth year on June 10-13, 2012! Throughout those years, RYLA has evolved into a very

educational and fun experience from which our youth are reaping the benefits. And, this year is no different,

with the exception that beginning this year we are excited to be joined by our fellow Rotarians in District

7370.

The young leaders selected and sponsored by clubs throughout District 7350 and 7370 spend four days on

the Juniata College campus enjoying fun, fellowship, learning, and growth. They learn about Rotary, the Four

Way Test, and other opportunities available to them through Rotary. Guest speakers cover topics such as

attitude, decision making, diversity, and leadership styles. Fun activities include team-building games, a visit

to the Shaver’s Creek low ropes course, and a cruise on Lake Raystown complete with music and dancing.

Additionally, during the past couple of months the planning committee has been looking at the schedule and

activities in an effort to continue to improve upon an already excellent program. And, as always, aside from

the scheduled activities, participants blossom during their time at RYLA as they meet new people from differ-

ent places and experience a small taste of college life.

Information on RYLA 2012 should have reached your club’s President and Secretary by the time this article is

published. If your club has not received the RYLA 2012 information, please contact Gary Miller at

gmm21@sa.psu.edu or (845) 797-8311. Additional assistance in finding your club’s participants this year is

offered in the form of three new recruitment tools: presentation slides, a brochure, and a poster which have

already been distributed electronically. If you have not received them, again please contact Gary Miller.

Planning for RYLA takes place throughout the entire year by the following District 7350/7370 RYLA Commit-

tee Members:

Gary Miller, State College Sunrise Rotary Club

Ann Dunlavy, Huntingdon Rotary Club

Marce Pancio, State College Sunrise Rotary Club

Kathy Krinks, Tyrone Rotary Club

Mary Jane Smith, Huntingdon Rotary Club

Tom Graves, District 7370 Liaison

WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR RYLA…

In addition to the student participants and the work of the planning committee, the other important ingredi-

ent to a successful RYLA experience is the volunteer counselors. The committee is looking for Rotarians and

other community members who would like to spend 4 days in June at Juniata college leading the participants

through a fun, intense, and rewarding experience. If you or someone you know has the time and energy to

devote to RYLA as a counselor, please contact Gary Miller at gmm21@sa.psu.edu or (845) 797-8311

Get a group together and come join us for our 10th annual Milton Rotary Casino Night at the Watson Inn on

Saturday March 10 from 7pm-11pm. Try your hand at Black Jack, Poker, Roulette, Craps, Horse Racing, and

More! Tickets are just $10 in advance or $12 at the door the night of the ...event and include your admission,

refreshments, and your crazy cash to gamble with. There will be a cash bar available. At the end of the night

your winnings are converted into tickets that you can use for chances in the Chinese Auction. Past auction

items have been PSU & Bucknell sports memorabilia, Hotel stays, Restaurant Gift Cards, Rounds of Golf, and

MUCH MORE!

Two Rotarians from D7350 and one from D7370 will depart Thursday, February 16 to participate in a National Immuni-

zation Day (NID) in the city of Ranahana in the Mehwat District, India. From left, are D7350 PDG Kelly Wike, a member

of the Altoona Rotary Club; Linda Nagle, a member of the Berwick Club in D7370; and D7350 Emporium Rotary Club

member Marsha Hendrickson. While in India they will join Rotarians from around the world to administer polio vac-

cine to immunize children and will also participate in a work project to construct a dam to capture monsoon rains that

will be used to irrigate and increase crop yields in the region. India has not had any cases of polio reported during the

past year. Kelly and Marsha also plan to tour (what areas of India and to see/do what?) after completing the NID and

humanitarian service project and will return to the USA on March 4.

ROTARY CLUBS WORLDWIDE MEET $200 MILLION

FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE FOR POLIO ERADICATION

Gates Foundation announces an additional $50 million to end polio

Despite a sagging global economy, Rotary clubs around the world have succeeded in raising more than US$200 million

in new funding for polio eradication.

The fundraising milestone, announced 10 Jan 12 at Rotary’s annual International Assembly in San Diego, was reached in

response to a $355 million challenge grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. All funds have been earmarked to

support polio immunization activities in affected countries where this vaccine-preventable disease continues to paralyze

children.

“We’ll celebrate this milestone, but it doesn’t mean that we’ll stop raising money or spreading the word about polio

eradication,” Rotary Foundation Trustee John F. Germ told the annual conference of Rotary leaders. “We can’t stop until

our entire world is certified as polio free.”

“In recognition of Rotary’s great work, and to inspire Rotarians in the future, the foundation is committing an additional

$50 million to extend our partnership,” said Jeff Raikes, Chief Executive Officer of the Gates Foundation. “Rotary

started the global fight against polio, and continues to set the tone for private fundraising, grassroots engagement and

maintaining polio at the top of the agenda with key policy makers.”

Since 1988, the incidence of polio has plummeted by more than 99 percent, from about 350,000 infections annually to

fewer than 650 cases reported so far for 2011. The wild poliovirus now remains endemic – meaning its transmission has

never been stopped – in only four countries: Afghanistan, India, Nigeria, and Pakistan. However, India on Jan. 13

marked a full calendar year without a case, paving the way for its imminent removal from the endemic list.

But other countries also remain at risk for polio cases imported from the endemic countries. In Africa in 2011, Chad and

the Democratic Republic of Congo had significant outbreaks. Also in 2011, a small cluster of polio cases in China, which

had been polio-free for a decade, was attributable to a virus from Pakistan.

Rotary members not only reached into their own pockets to support the Gates challenge, they engaged their communities

in a variety of creative fundraising projects, such as a fashion show in California that raised $52,000; benefit film

screenings in New Zealand and Australia that netted $54,000; and a pledge-supported hike through Kilimanjaro,

Tanzania, that brought in $38,000. Many events were planned around October 24, widely observed as World Polio Day.

To date, Rotary club members worldwide have contributed more than $1 billion toward the eradication of polio, a cause

Rotary took on in 1985. In 1988, the World Health Organization, UNICEF and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention joined Rotary as spearheading partners of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. More recently, the Gates

Foundation has become a major supporter. In November 2007, the Gates Foundation gave Rotary a $100 million

challenge grant for polio eradication, increasing it to $355 million in 2009. Rotary agreed to raise $200 million in match-

ing funds by June 30, 2012.

THREE QUESTIONS ABOUT A DISTRICT FOUNDATION

Dr. Ron Keyser, District 7350 Treasurer

1. If an individual club already has a 501(c) set up, will we be required to use the district foundation?

No – A number of clubs already have charitable foundations. The intent is to allow the district to have a foundation and to

provide district clubs without foundations to enjoy the same advantages. If your club currently has a foundation, there

would be little advantage in utilizing a separate district foundation.

2. Our interpretation of the foundation is that each club will be able to use it as a pass through for fundraisers.

For example, a company would like to make a donation to the Montoursville Rotary Club in the amount of $5,000

for one of our events. That company could make the check out to the foundation. Once the funds were received

by the foundation, they would then be passed back to our club. Is my interpretation correct? If not, could you

please explain with an example?

No – Tax deductible to any 501c(3) D-7360 foundation f/b/o your Rotary Club. Two possibilities:

a. Funds could be distributed at your direction to pay your vendors involved in your charitable events, with the net

retained in your account.

b. Or funds made payable to whatever charitable purpose your club designates. Typically funds would not be payable

back to your club, which is a 501C(4) organization. (The difference between a 501C(3) and 501c(4) is explained at

district7350.org web-site.

3. Will there be any administrative fee to use the foundation? If so, what is the planned fee?

Good question. That is a possibility, depending upon the charitable board of directors. If there is a fee or fees, I envision

fees lower that what is charged by Rotary International Foundation Donor Designated Funds or local Community

Foundation Donor Advised Funds. The details of the new foundation would be in bylaws which have not been created,

pending a favorable vote.

Humanity Award Winner

John Skerritt, a research scientist who is deputy secretary of the Department of Industries in Victoria, Western Austra-

lia, Australia, has been chosen by The Rotary Foundation Trustees as the recipient of the 2011-12 Global Alumni Ser-

vice to Humanity Award.

Skerritt has provided assistance to India, Indonesia, and other Southeast Asian countries in the areas of medical sci-

ence, biotechnology, agriculture, and public administration.

Skerritt studied as a 1983-84 Ambassadorial Scholar at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. A

member of the Rotary Club of Hampton, he will receive the award on 8 May at the 2012 RI Convention in Bangkok,

Thailand.

Life

Life is not the way it’s supposed to be.

It’s the way it is. The way you cope

with it is what makes the difference.
