NEWSLETTER GOVERNOR’S
JANUARY 2016 ISSUE - FOR ROTARIANS ONLY
www.rotary3300.org
Dear Fellow Rotarians,
Today one hundred and ten years later, Vocational Service remains one of the Object of Rotary. Vocational Service is a unique feature and this unique feature is what differs us from other services organisations. The above extract from Past RI President Cliff Dochterman’s speech relates to the founding days of Rotary amidst the growing competitive business environment in Chicago. It is Paul Harris’s idea of combining friendship and business that Rotary’s foundation was built on. The constitution of the first Rotary Club, the Rotary Club of Chicago stated two objects – The first was “The promotion of the business interests of its members.” The second object was the concept of friendship. Over the years, the wordings were rephrased but the concept of friendship and business remained with service following suit. “It was this same concept of promoting business which led to the first community service project of the original Chicago Rotary Club. In their effort to promote more business, the members decided that since the women did most of the shopping in downtown Chicago, they would do even more if they stayed downtown longer. So, what was the answer? If they put public toilets in downtown Chicago – the shoppers would not have to go home so soon. And that is what they did — installed the first public restrooms in downtown Chicago. When service is provided — business is enhanced. It was on that basis that the world’s service club movement was launched” The concept of friendship and business was also seen in the early days. At the San Francisco Rotary Club meeting, shelves were installed for members to display merchandise. Ten minutes of each meeting were devoted to members giving short talks about the quality of their own goods and services - or in other words - a Rotary commercial. Taking cue from the founding years, perhaps membership develop could be refocused to promote the concept of friendship and business. The rat-race of the early 1900s today is in a different form, more aggressive, competitive and is time-driven. Professionals, community and business leaders have shifted priorities to meet socio-economic demands. While businesses and individuals today are embracing social responsibilities as an obligation to act for the benefit of society at large, these acts have to strike a balance between corporate profits and public benefits. A food for thought.. something to include in your next weekly meeting programme. Siti Subaidah Governor 2015-16
“It was in this atmosphere that Paul Harris
began to wonder if one person from each
business and profession could actually
work together, in a non-competitive
atmosphere, to help each other improve
their business and income. If they were not
rivals or competitors, they could be friends
and help each other achieve success. Thus,
the idea of friendship and business was
combined - and the idea of a Rotary Club
evolved.” ~ Cliff Dochterman, Past RI
President 1992-93 Delivered at Presidential
Celebration – Vancouver July 19, 2003 DG Siti attending the Charter Night of the Rotary Club of Singapore Heartlands, RI District 3310
What is Vocational Service?
If you are an active, engaged
Rotarian, you probably view
vocational service as a way of life,
even if you find it difficult to
articulate a clear definition. This
handbook can help you gain a better
understanding of vocational service
and equip you with ideas to help you
practice it through your club activities
and in your career.
The concept of vocational service The
Object of Rotary is a philosophical
statement of Rotary’s purpose and the
responsibilities of Rotarians. The
concept of vocational service is rooted
in the Second Object, which calls on
Rotarians to “encourage and foster” :-
High ethical standards in business and professions
The recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations
The dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society. As a Rotarian, how can you put
these ideals into action? Consider these suggestions:
Talk about your vocation in your club, and take time
to learn about fellow members’ vocations.
Use your professional skills to serve a community.
Practice your profession with integrity, and inspire
others to behave ethically through your own words and
actions.
Help a young person achieve his or her career
aspirations.
Guide and encourage others in their professional
development.
If you do any of these things, you are performing
vocational service. And if vocational service motivates
and energizes you, then you’re in the right place, because
vocational service is the very essence of Rotary. It is what
sets Rotary apart from other service organizations.
Classification
What first brought you to Rotary? In all likelihood,
someone identified you as a prospective Rotarian
because you are a respected member of your business
or professional field — in Rotary parlance, your
“classification.” Each Rotary club’s membership
represents a cross-section of its community’s business
and professional population, which ensures diversity
in experiences and perspectives. Classification and
vocational service go hand in hand. Just as Rotarians
represent their vocations in Rotary, so do they
represent Rotary in their vocations.

Secretary General of the International Transport Workers
Federation, with the 2016 Vocational Service Award.
RI PRESIDENT RAVI’S MONTHLY MESSAGE
The following is an excerpt of President Ravi’s message for January 2016, the full text is available at
www.rotary.org
Our experience of Rotary is, for the most part, based in our own
communities. We meet every week in our clubs, in the same places,
with the same familiar friends. While almost all of us are involved in
some way or other in international service, the Rotary we see and share
from day to day feels very local. It can be easy to lose sight of the
larger picture – of what our service truly means.
Every impact you have as a Rotarian, individually and through your
club, is multiplied by the power of our numbers. When you feed one
person who is hungry, when you educate one person who is illiterate,
when you protect one child from disease, the impact may seem small.
It is anything but. For it is only through the power of numbers, through
the power of our individual actions and gifts, that we can have the
impact we seek: to truly Be a Gift to the World.

INTERACT CLUB OF SJK (T) KAJANG’S VIDEO IS FAN FAVOURITE! Interactors from 25 countries
submitted 87 videos showing
how they create magic and
show off their leadership
skills. Against all odds, after a
total of 171782 votes were cast, the video submitted by the Interact
Club of SJK (T) Kajang emerged as the Fan Favourite.
1 INTERACTOR 1 PLANT was a project done with the aim to
equip Interactors with the skill to plant a tree. It was hoped that
through this project, the Interactors will value and preserve the
environment. The school provided the pots and the soil for the
project. The Interactors chose their own preferred plants to plant
and grow. It is their responsibility to take care of the plant during
school days. When they leave school, they will hand it over to new
Interactors.
RECOGNITION FOR ROTARY
THE ROTARY EDUCATION FUND (REF) PROGRAMME
The REF is a 4-prong holistic education programme that aims to keep
secondary school students from lower income families in school. The four
key areas of REF - mentoring, leadership training, values education and
financial assistance, provide these students with “life-skills” education
opportunities and helps develop them into useful members of society.
The REF was developed by the Rotary Club of Bukit Kiara Sunrise
(RCBKS) and launched in November 2009. The REF selects secondary or
vocational school students of all ethnicities between the ages of 15 to 19
(Forms 3 to 6) who are from families whose monthly gross income is about
RM 2000.00. A student must demonstrate a desire to want to “help himself or herself”. Many high potential
students from low income families in this age group were found to be badly in need of financial assistance and
“life-skills” education opportunities.
The programme provides each student with about RM 150.00 to RM 200.00
monthly with an extra RM 200.00 to RM 400.00 for expenses at the beginning
of the school year. The programme stipulates that the students are to spend the
money only on educational expenses which can include school fees, tuition
fees, transport, uniforms, text and reference books and daily meals at the
canteen.
Depending on when they enter, a student can be with the programme for a
duration of one to five years. Each student is assigned two mentors who visit
the student to assess progress in education and also to monitor how the monthly
allowance is spent. Mentors review the student’s progress in academic and
extra-curricular activities and also act as role models and assist in helping the
student identify suitable educational and career opportunities.
Participants must attend an annual leadership camp and a values education workshop organised by the Rotary
and are also occasionally invited to join Rotary Clubs in their community service projects.
The REF works closely with HELP University's Faculty of
Behavioural Sciences to develop the mentoring programme.
Trained psychologists from HELP University also act as
professional counsellors if students have difficulties which
volunteer mentors are not able to handle. For the leadership
camp and the values education workshop, the REF currently
works in partnership with professional consultants to develop
and execute the programmes.
The REF has won several Rotary District Service Awards,
including the Rotary International Significant Achievement
Award 2012-13 and Best Community Service Award for 2010-
11. Today, the REF has been adopted by a number of Rotary
Clubs in District 3300 including the Rotary Clubs of Pantai
Valley, Temerloh, West Pahang, Kulim, Bangsar, Gombak and
Seremban with more than 100 students involved. The REF is
now a key initiative under the District Basic Education and
Literacy committee.
