Lyle Ryan

September brings a number of opportunities to all of us.

Such as:

The kids return to school!

The lovely season of Fall and all the colors that nature has to share!

The football season is upon us (at least in the U.S.A.).

For P.J. and I it means we are on the road doing our club visitations. We officially started in the month of August. To date we have completed fifteen visits. The majority of these visits thus far have been up north in British Columbia. The opportunity to meet with all of you has been the best part of the District Governor adventure. I wish that all Rotarians had this opportunity! It is hard to put into words but Rotarians are special people! We are all very pride full of the organization and the value we bring to our communities and this global village that we are all a part of. So, a big thank you to all of you that have taken your time to make P.J. and I feel welcome in your meetings and sharing with us all the projects that you have given to your respective communities.

These special gatherings just reinforce that Rotary is the best of the best when it comes to “Service Above Self”! Please wear your Rotary pins with pride there is no other organization like ours.

Yours in Rotary, Lyle & P.J. Ryan.

TRUSTEE CHAIR'S MESSAGE

Help us reach our goal.

August 2014: Rotarians are generous people. They give to many good, charitable causes in their communities but in many instances do not support their own charity: The Rotary Foundation.

This Rotary year, I would like to see every Rotary club make a contribution t o o u r R o t a r y Foundation.

Remember that the good we do in the world is limited only by the contributions we receive. And when we give to our Foundation, we are not sending cash to Evanston – we are helping a blind man to see, a polio victim to walk, a child to grow to adulthood healthily, a student to become better educated, and a family to have food to eat.

Each year, the trustees of The Rotary Foundation set a goal for the Annual Fund – the fund that feeds the World Fund. This year, the goal is US$123 million, with each Rotarian being asked to contribute a minimum of $100. I am conscious that this figure would mean more in some countries than others. But Rotarians should give according to their means.

The slogan Every Rotarian, Every Year means exactly that. Every Rotarian should make a contribution to our Foundation every year. Make it a priority this year to impress on your club the importance of every club supporting our Foundation in some way.

As I said at the outset, Rotarians are generous people. I am sure you will translate that generosity into giving to our Rotary Foundation.

It is up to each and every one of us to do so.

JOHN KENNY

Rotary Scholar’s Unique Ability in Brining Clubs Together! Rotary Global Grant Scholar Isis E. Mejias Carpio with children in Kenya during her work with Engineers Without Borders.

In a municipal hospital in Cubatão, Brazil, a new mammography machine funded by a Rotary global grant provides breast cancer screening to women who previously had to wait for weeks before they could get in for a checkup with a doctor.

A Rotary global grant also funded training for medical staff and cancer awareness education for people in the community. Isis Mejias Carpio of Houston, studying at the University of São Paulo on a Rotary scholarship, played an instrumental role in bringing together Rotary clubs in two countries to make the grant possible.

Members of the Rotary Club of Cubatão, who hosted Mejias during her scholarship, had already identified the hospital's need for expanded health services for women. Visiting the clinic herself, Mejias saw an opportunity to collaborate with her contacts back home in the Rotary Club of Humble Intercontinental, north of Houston.

"Building a bridge between a host and international sponsor on any grant project is always one of the most important parts," Mejias says. "It was very rewarding to know that my little participation evolved into a project like that."

Youth Service The 5th Avenue of Service in Rotary

YOUTH SERVICES has been officially recognized as the Fifth Avenue of Service by Rotary International. This formal action was taken in Chicago during the April 2010 meeting of the Council on Legislation, the legislative arm of Rotary International which meets every three years. The news was welcomed with excitement and enthusiasm by our all Rotarians.

Youth Service programs include all our Rotary service programs for young people up to the age of 30. These include the RI Programs of Rotaract, Interact, RYE, and RYLA, YAIL along with a large number of other projects done at the club level.

Youth Protection is another important Youth Service resource available to Rotarians, clubs and youth programs at the District level.

So, why are Youth Service programs so important that they have now been recognized internationally?

We often hear that our youth is our future.

This is certainly true and one of the reasons that we focus on literacy, leadership training, and expanding training in ethics for young people. These are the people who will be running our country and our world within the next 20 years.

Rotarians have always taken a sincere interest in helping to prepare the next generation-with programs and projects that help with health and education, and lead the way to world peace and understanding. Beyond this fact, young people are also the future of our organization if we choose for Rotary to survive and thrive beyond our lifetime. Through our Rotary youth programs, we have the opportunity to not only provide service that is the keystone of our organization, but also to develop relationships and provide exposure to our wonderful organization and the ideals of "service above self" to the next generation.

The history of District 5050 has been full dedication to this avenue of service. So much has been done for so long … yet there is lot more to be done. Let us continue the tradition.

Remember, September is the Youth Service Month.

On February 8, 2014, Mike Reddington, member of the Rotary Club of Surrey, BC, introduced the kickoff of the first ever District 5050 membership survey (Peace Arch Journal, March, 2014, page 6). The survey was successfully conducted between February and June, 2014, with 1,310 members completing the survey, a participation rate of 49.6%. The results can be used as indicators of how the membership feels about their current club experience and as a benchmark for an on-going program of survey research.

Linda Murray, District Membership Committee Chair, said, “We are extremely pleased with our very first membership survey. The results show a satisfaction (engagement) average score of 81.2%, which is extremely high compared to workplace surveys. It reflects the very high commitment of Rotarians to service in their communities and around the world.”

M i k e R e d d i n g t o n , s u r v e y administrator, noting that each participating Rotary cub received its own summary analysis, commented that clubs need this information for t h e i r o w n m a n a g e m e n t a n d continuous improvement processes,

such as comparing the main reason for joining Rotary – giving back to the community – with the main reason for staying in Rotary – the friendship and fun that members get out of being part of a club.

The survey found that factors contributing to a lack of membership growth are what we call retention factors, like creating a learning community and other personal growth measures within clubs. We need to look at nurturing our members and boosting their personal experiences in clubs.

Haney Rotarians do it “First Class” The Rotary Club of Haney, BC, continued its annual practice of awarded scholarships to graduating students. Instead of merely presenting the awards at a regular meeting, club scholarship co-chairs, Vicki Cunningham and Keesha Rosario, decided to invite each of the 13 scholarship students and their parents to a club dinner meeting at the Meadow Ridge Golf Club. Club members, parents and students mingled during the social hour and members were encouraged to sit with parents and students. Each student was given a signed copy of the book " The Canadian Achievers" .

Jan Hickman, club president (2014-15), welcomed the students and parents and explained how the club raises funds for scholarships and other service work. A local 17 year old high school student, Daniel Clarke (left), talked about the YES* program and the impact that its leadership skills have made on him throughout the year, including his local community

volunteer experience and his rewarding international service.

The name of the students and their high school:

Garibaldi Secondary: Arleigh Lashbrook & Mark Boe

Maple Ridge Secondary: Nicholas Renaud, Wyatt Middleton, Eoin Mowatt & Chantelle Ulricksen

Pitt Meadows Secondary: Cole White

Samual Roberts Technical School: Brody Watts & Corey Henning-Peterson

Thomas Haney Secondary: Jonathan Molendijk & Okawa

The Y.E.S. (Youth Engaged in Service) program was established by the Rotary Club of Burlington in 2007 to provide unique leadership and service opportunities to 11th grade students. Programs are offered for students in Washington State and in British Columbia; providing students with opportunities to participate in an international, hands-on service project, as well as engaging students with volunteer and humanitarian service in their home communities.

District Governor Lyle & PJ Ryan Visit to Bellingham Bay Rotary Club Article and pictures by Bob Knight, District PR Chair & PAJ Editor

On Tuesday, August 12, 2014, I drove to Bellingham, WA, to attend the first official club visit by our district governor. Walking into the Northwood Hall meeting room I was greeted by Club President Bob Moles, PJ & Lyle Ryan and Area G Assistant Governor Bill Gorman. Club members Bob Belker and John Sleeth were given “Light Up Rotary” pins in recognition of their services. Lyle met with members of their board of directors. The focus of DG Ryan’s talk was membership-membership-membership, noting that the world-wide goal for this Rotary year is an increase of 3%.


VISITING OTHER ROTARY CLUBS IS FUN

Grace Willows and the Gift through Popcorn

Written, with booth pictures, by Dennis Willows

Grace, with her friend Clio (left) at her booth with popcorn, cookies, water, and music CD’s available at the Friday Harbor A irport Fly-In;

Grace and her mother, Susan Mahoney at their popcorn booth at the San Juan Island “Rock the Dock" Street Party; and proud father,

Dennis.

Grace Willows will travel to France for 2014-2015, as a Rotary Youth Exchange representative from District 5050.

She set up a booth and popcorn machine at San Juan Island Rotary “Rock the Dock” Street Party, at an Art and Craft Street Fair, and at the Airport Fly-In. She raised $380 for the Rotary Club program to “End Polio Now” and the same amount for her own RYE expenses, through popcorn sales and donations for a CD of her playing keyboard and clarinet selections.

If you would like a music CD to further help the project, send your name and address to Grace at [email protected].

And then if you like the music (it's a mix of classics, show tunes, and jazz), please send a donation to Frank Fagan, San Juan Islands Rotary Club, PO Box 1881, Friday Harbor WA 98250.

In May 2014, Four Rotary Club of Everett Port Gardner (RCEPG) members and four volunteers travelled to Merger, Haiti to teach 50 teenagers first aid and emergency response skills. This project was born out of a Rotary International Community Needs Assessment conducted in June 2013 by Healing the Children’s (HTC) executive director who was the RCEPG president. The survey identified the urgent need for training in first aid and resources for emergency response centers in this poor hilly community of 15,000.

The Haiti Emergency Preparedness Project (HEPP) team included an impressive list of volunteers. RCEPG President and HTC Executive Director, Ann Anderst; RCEPG Vocational Service Chair, City of Everett Disaster Services Manager, CERT Program Coordinator, and President of Green Cross Academy of Traumatology, Mary Schoenfeldt; RCEPG Secretary and United Way of Snohomish County Volunteer Manager, Michelle Morris; RCEPG Member and CERT Trainer, Peggy Ray; CERT Trainer

a n d G r e e n C r o s s Volunteer, Nathan Ray; Everett Fire Department Captain and Lead CERT Trainer, Brent Steiner; CERT Teen Instructor Tim Schoenfeldt; and CERT Teen Instructor Jesse Saul.

C E R T — C o m m u n i t y Emergency Response Team is a training program which provides training in first aid, disaster preparedness, medical triage, how to stop bleeding, how to life a carry, how to lift chunks of concrete, how to rescue someone, and disaster psychology. The week–long trip resulted in training 75 teenagers in CERT, conducting one community meeting, and establishing 3 emergency response centers.

THE ROTARY HAITI EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PROJECT Reported by Ann Anderst, Past President of Everett Port Gardner

The HEPP project was funded

through the generosity of Rotary District 5050, RC of Everett, RC of Everett–Port Gardner, RC of South Everett-Mukilteo, Healing the Children, individual donors, and special fundraisers.


Since his first trip to Nepal, in 1997, Luc Salens has ben on a mission that has consumed him. Salens, a past president of the Rotary Club of Maldegem, Belgium, initially travelled to Nepal to visit friends and quickly fell in love with the country and its people, who he believes demonstrate a resiliency and sense of optimism “despite the poverty in their part of the world.” Dr. Anil Shrestha, an orthopedic surgeon and member of the Rotary Club of Kathmandu West, showed him around the capital city, explaining the land’s culture and struggles. During their tour, they arrived at a sparse lot occupied by large, empty building.

“It was like a ghost building. The windows were broken and nothing was inside,” recalls Salens. “When I asked him what it was, he said, ‘It should be a hospital.” He then told me that Rotary clubs from [the] United States had built it, but there was no money to make it a working facility. I was shocked because as a Rotarian, I couldn’t believe that all this work had gone into a project and it wasn’t being used. Anil told me he would like to run the hospital, and I decided that “I would do what I could to start the project once again.”

Salens’ decision was a turning point in the history of the now bustling Nepal Orthopedic Hospital, which opened in 1998 and last year [2002-2003] treated nearly 8,000 people. The project has involved the efforts of more than 125 clubs worldwide and has received three Matching Grants from the Rotary Foundation of RI.

Planning for the hospital began in 1989 when Jim Sinclair, then the member of the Rotary Club of Amherst South, N.Y., USA (District 7090), and now a member of the Rotary Club of Mount Baker, Washington (District 5050) was sent to Kathmandu on an engineering assignment. During his stay, he attended meetings of the Rotary Club of Patan and learned that the Patan Rotarians wanted to build an orthopedic hospital for the Nepal Disabled Association. They asked Sinclair if his home club would partner with them to make the hospital a World Community Service (WCS) project. The hospital would be the only orthopedic care facility in Nepal and would serve patients who couldn’t otherwise afford medical attention. The Amherst South Rotarians had little experience with WCS projects at the time, so they decided to begin the partnership with a smaller project, the installation of a water storage tank for a small village outside of Kathmandu.

“The cooperation with the Patan club has been phenomenal; they have a passion for service,” says Sinclair, who has kept in close contact with Shrestha since the project’s inception, “I thought the hospital was a good project, and I caught up in it. There have been problems along the way, but we know that because so many people are interested, it’s going to succeed.”

Encouraged by the success of the water tank project, Sinclair’s district (7090) adopted the hospital as a WCS project in 1990 and decided to launch a district-wide effort to build the facility. Because construction projects are ineligible for Matching Grant support, the Rotarians

would have to raise the money themselves. Within the district, which spans the U.S.-Canadian border 35 out of 38 clubs raised funds for the project, as did 20 of the 26 Canadian clubs. They pooled a total of US$225,000, enough to build a 16-bed hospital. The optimistic Rotarians ordered the facility to be designed with rising supports to accommodate the addition of a second floor. Initial construction was completed in 1995, but the project came to a halt when the German non-governmental organization that had agreed to provide equipment and technical assistance abruptly backed out. Past District Governor Wallace Ochterski, a member of the Rotary Club of West Seneca, NY, acknowledges that it was discouraging to learn that the

hospital was sitting empty. Nonetheless, the Nepalese Rotarians remained optimistic that the project could be revived.

“We never got frustrated or discouraged,” says Narayan Halwai, a Ptan Rotarian. Halwai, an engineer, was a member of the construction committee. “We felt confident that someone would come along and help us.”

And that is just what happened when Luc Salens arrived in Nepal two years later. He began working on the project when he returned to Belgium, establishing an ongoing dialogue with Sinclair about the status and direction of the project. Shrestha

agreed to be medical director once the hospital opened. At the time, he was practicing in government hospital, where, he says: “I realized there were so many poor patients who needed orthopedic care, and there weren’t enough beds for them.” That when I thought, “I must open this orthopedic hospital.”

Salen presented the hospital project to clubs in District 1620. Since then, Belgian clubs have been instrumental in supporting the facility with ongoing fund raisers. In 2000, the Belgian clubs of Brugge, Maldegem, and Menen received a Matching Grant from the Rota ry Foundat ion for near l y US$40,000 for hospital equipment. This was the hospital’s second Matching Grant; in 1996 the Rotary Clubs of Mount Baker and Patan received a US$12,800 grant for hospital beds. In 2001, a US$35,100 Matching Grant awarded to the same two clubs helped buy physical therapy equipment and supplies for the hospital. The 2001 grant was particularly significant because access to rehabilitation services is extremely limited in Nepal.

The Nepal Orthopedic Hospital opened as a 20-bed facility in 1998, with Salens, a former businessman, handling the financial operations. The hospital, which has since treated more than 19,000 patients, continues to serve more people each year. At least 40 people line up at the hospital each morning to wait for medical attention. “The best part about working here is seeing these poor patients, who may have been rejected by other hospitals, receive treatment,” says Shrestha, who helped charter the Rotary Club of Kathmandu West in 2001.
