World Understanding Month

World Understanding Month

In honor of the first Rotary

meeting that occurred on

February 23, 1905, Rotary

International has designated this

day as World Understanding and

Peace Day and selected February

as World Understanding Month.

“The Rotary way works! But

Rotary has no patient on it, for it

is but the Golden Rule in action.

Any person, any nation can apply

it by displacing negative hatred

and fear with goodwill based

upon understanding. Peace

among nations is not impossible

of attainment; they can find

peace if they will.” - The world’s

first Rotarian, Paul P. Harris,

Founder and President Emeritus

of Rotary International.

Happy Birthday Rotary!

On February 23, Rotary celebrates

its 108th anniversary. The day

also marks the anniversary of the

first mass polio vaccinations,

which started in Pittsburgh,

Pennsylvania, in 1954 and

expanded across the United

States. A group of children from

Arsenal Elementary School

received the first injections of the

new polio vaccine developed by

Dr. Jonas Salk.

The object of Rotary is to

encourage and foster the ideal

of service as a basis of worthy

enterprise and, in particular, to

encourage and foster:

FIRST: The development of

acquaintance as an opportunity

for service;

SECOND: 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;

THIRD: The application of the

ideal of service in each

Rotarian’s personal, business,

and community life;

FORTH: The advancement of

internal understanding,

goodwill, and peace through a

world fellowship of business

and professional persons untied

in the ideal of service.

As expected, Past Rotary

International President, Cliff

Dochterman was an exceptional

keynote speaker, talking about his

passion for Rotary and the many

benefits of being a Rotarian. Our

many thanks go out to the La Mesa

their meeting to all East County

the inspiring message by Cliff.

Presidents-Elect Plan for PETS

Rotary club presidents-elect worldwide attend the

the presidents-elect training seminar in March to

to prepare for their terms. Our president-elect,

Jim Peasley is no exception. He is registered

and ready to go. At this training seminar, he

will learn about his role and responsibility, goal setting,

setting and club administration, and how to

attract and engage members. These are topics

that are top of mind for anyone who has been

president of a Rotary club.

Jim will also have an opportunity to build strong

working relationships with our District Governor

Elect, incoming assistant governors as well as

other club presidents-elect.

The theme for Jim’s year 2013-14 has recently

been unveiled by RI President-Elect, Ron Burton: “Engage Rotary, Change Lives.”

Learn How to Apply for Rotary Grants

Check out the tutorials that explain the new process for applying for

2013-14 Rotary grants:

District grants online application -- now online here (and in the Member Access course of LEARN).

President’s Message Declaration of Rotarians

in Businesses and Professions

As a Rotarian engaged in a

business or profession, I will:

1. Exemplify the core value of

integrity in all behaviors and

activities.

2. Use my vocational experience

and talents to serve Rotary.

3. Conduct all of my personal,

business, and professional

affairs ethically, encouraging

and fostering high ethical

standards as an example to

others.

4. Be fair in all dealings with

others and treat them with

the respect due to them as

fellow human beings.

5. Promote recognition and

respect for all occupations

which are useful to society.

6. Offer my vocational talents:

to provide opportunities for

young people, to work for the

relief of the special needs of

others, and to improve the

quality of life in my

community.

7. Honor the trust that Rotary

and fellow Rotarians provide

and not do anything that will

bring disfavor or reflect

adversely on Rotary or fellow

Rotarians.

8. Not seek from a fellow

Rotarian a privilege or

advantage not normally

accorded others in a business or professional relationship.

POLIO NEAR EXTINCTION

This Close Purpose of Ignite: To reverse the 10-year

downward trend of membership in Rotary!

Rationale: Everyone has something to contribute

toward the success of their Club; therefore, every

person has the power to make a difference.

The primary thing YOU NEED TO DO NOW is

promote the Santee-Lakeside Club and keep the

Ignite Fire burning all year long.

In Rotary, there are few activities as rewarding as completing a hands-on

project that is truly appreciated by the community. The key to

developing meaningful projects is to perform a community assessment

which looks at the needs of the community. The assessment enables the

Club to organize and plan projects ahead of time. Although the Santee-

Lakeside Club has performed many community service projects over the

years we have done so without the benefit of a community assessment or

public recognition.

One of the goals we established for 2012-13 is to perform a community

assessment, and we are looking for a member to volunteer to head up

this effort, which should take two to three months to complete. The

person in charge of the effort will be appointed as the Community

Service Chair. The Chair will be helped by a committee of three to five

club members. The assessment will determine what needs exist in the

community that we can reasonably expect to meet. We will keep our

projects to a manageable number, and it is anticipated that the projects

list that comes out of the assessment will take about three years to

complete. For this reason, we will ask the Chair and the Committee to

commit to serving for three years. The assessment process will follow

the guidelines established by Rotary International and will focus on

projects of high priority and value to the community. The final projects

plans will be presented to the Board for approval and prioritization.

Resources, fundraising and community input will be taken into

consideration in prioritizing the projects. Partner organizations will be

sought out to help with projects where feasible.

The community assessment then is the key starting point to ensure our

Club focuses on projects that truly meet the needs of the community.

Please let me know if you are willing to help.

A great tool Rotary has is its

educational programs. It also

can give you exposure to many

different areas and help you find

what your interests really are.

Rotary International has a new online publication entitled Rotary Leader.

This online publication is for Rotary club and district officers and is

offered in eight languages: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese,

Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Everyone who is an officer or a chairperson of one of our Club’s

committees should take advantage of what this online publication offers.

There are articles as well as video clips that share ideas on how to be

successful in any endeavor the Club has. There is an Ask the Expert

section as well as a Club Clinic section which gives useful information on

how to maximize your effort, whether it is our online presence to our

tracking of club projects. Anyone can subscribe for free by going to:

Gear Up for Literacy Campaign

District 5340’s public image campaign

kicked off in January. Now you can see

ads displayed on taxis and billboards

around San Diego. The advertising

centers on literacy to deliver a very

strong message - adults make a huge

difference in the lives of children by

helping them read.

It is estimated that more than 5,000 viewers will see the taxi ads.

Billboard ads placed in seven high traffic areas will have thousands of

viewers daily.

The campaign was designed by District PR Chair, Scott Carr (San

Diego Downtown Breakfast Club) and funded by a Rotary International Grant and District 5340.
