October 2010 September 2012

Voices rang throughout

Jimmy’s Restaurant to the

tune of Home on the

Range, a song sang in

tribute to the late and

former member of the

Santee-Lakeside Rotary

Club, Russel (Russ) W.

Crane who died August 6,

2012 at the age of 92 due

to complications from Alzheimer’s. Held in high regard, stories were shared

by members of the club as they remembered his years in Rotary. Rotarian,

Vic Bermudes commented on Russ’s belief that Home on the Range was

his song and shared that Russ collected a nickel from each member every

time the song was sang as his royalty payment. Stories about a Fireside

Chat at Russ’s home were reflected upon. Of particular note was the

historical nature of his home, which housed much Western and Indian

memorabilia. Russ spent his early childhood on a ranch near Cody

Wyoming and American Indian culture continued to be near and dear to his

heart throughout his life. Rotarian, Doug Wilson relayed a story about

Russ when he was in the army. Russ was in the Horse Calvary but at some

point decided he wanted to join the Air Corp, which was the forerunner of

the United States Air Force. He and a fellow cavalryman rode their horses

to the location of the Air Corp base but didn’t give consideration to what

they would do with their horses once they got there. Ultimately, they just

left them there.

Russ lived in Point Loma but joined the Santee-Lakeside Rotary Club due to

his affiliation with the Ed Fletcher Company, which at the time, was in the

process of developing what is known today as Fletcher Hills. Russ was their

Director of Government Affairs. Russ has affection for the Santee-Lakeside

Club and loved its small club feeling and was an active member until the

early 2000’s when it became difficult to attend meetings. Attendance was a

big thing for Russ. He had one of the longest running perfect attendance

records in the history of the club. Russ was president of the Santee-

Lakeside Rotary Club in 1968-69 and the Foundation chair from 1972-73.

It is with fondness that we say farewell to Russ and with heavy hearts share

in the loss of such a great man.

Here is a nickel to take with you Russ!

The August 3, 2012 issue of Science magazine features two articles on

polio eradication – "The Polio Emergency" and "Fighting Polio in Pakistan"

– and includes several references to Rotary's role. The full articles are

available online to subscribers only or by purchase. In 2011, Pakistan

became the global epicenter of polio, with more cases than any country

in the world. Pakistan’s largest and best-known charity has since been

pulling out all the stops and the government is on board as never before.

As a result, polio cases are down and Nigeria has eclipsed Pakistan as

the gravest threat to polio eradication. Because the virus is so

contagious and spreads so stealthy, as long as it lingers anywhere, the

world is at risk. And that means if eradication fails in Pakistan, the 24-

year nearly $10 billion initiative fails everywhere.

This article serves as a reminder that we must stay diligent in our efforts

to eradicate polio. Our weekly “happy bucket” contributions are critical

to helping Rotary combat this dreaded disease. The challenge to us all:

consider donating $2 or more to the bucket; we can double our

resources that way! Let’s keep the fight going!

Check out GlobalCitizen.org. Polio: In Depth: Bruce

Alyward’s TED talk: How we’ll stop polio for good. It is a 20 minute video that is worth the watch.

One of the best! The link is on our Facebook page.

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.

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.

As I mentioned at both our Installation

Dinner and at our August 16 meeting, one

of our goals is to participate in Ignite, a

membership initiative designed to motivate,

reward and celebrate additional

membership growth in Rotary. The key

focus is on YOU. Every member has a role.

Ignite is rolled out in our district zones 25

and 26 for the next three years. This is a

big deal! We can be part of the change. I

think we all agree that membership growth

is key to our Club’s survival.

There are 17 things we each must do to strengthen our club

membership. A point recognition system accompanies these tasks.

1 Bring in a new member.

2 New member brings in a new member.

3 Establish a club goal; we have done that – 5 new members!

4 Develop a membership committee of 4 or more – we have 7!

5 Select & complete 4 or more of the 15+ tips for successful clubs.

6 Assign a mentor for each new member.

7 Give committee assignment to new member in the first week.

8 Hold fireside chats (training for new and current members).

9 New member participates in service project.

10 Potential member gets involved in service project.

11 Invite a District Membership Committee member to be a speaker

at our club.

12 Develop an attractive website

13 Hold a Club Assembly focused on membership

14 Bring a visitor to a club meeting

15 Propose a new member

16 Assign a member to keep track of points

17 Attend the District Membership Seminar.

We will be discussing this in more detail in the near future. I want you

to begin to think about how you can serve to help us achieve all 17 of

these tasks. There is something for everybody. Get Ignited! I have

highlighted in red things we have already done.

access to effective critical care services for mothers and infants.

The Hospital serves over 300,000 people including the provincial towns,

Bahia de Caraquez and Leonidas Plazas, as well as a vast, slowly

developing area of northwestern Ecuador. The project will create a

dedicated, renovated, specialized medical ward, with new equipment and

staff training to better treat this population. The infant mortality rate in

Ecuador is about three times the U.S. rate. Many pregnant Ecuadorian

women experience life threatening conditions.

The project also will develop and disseminate information and conduct

social activities, using various strategies and media, to educate women of

child bearing age about medically necessary prenatal, post partum and

newborn care, including nutrition and immunization.

The Host Rotary Club is the Bahia de Caraquez Rotary Club, and the

Santee-Lakeside Rotary Club serves as the lead International Rotary Club

partner. The total project budget is $61,800. Financing came from cash

donations from ten rotary clubs located in six districts, District Designated

Funds match from four districts, and Rotary Foundation match. This

project can begin implementation upon receipt of funding and be completed within one year.

The Santee-Lakeside Rotary Club is one step

closer to helping improve access to effective

maternal and infant care in Ecuador. Our

Club’s RI Foundation Chair, Bill Stumbaugh,

just announced that our Club’s application

was submitted to The Rotary Foundation for

consideration of a global grant to assist the

hospital in Ecuador. Now, we wait for the

Foundation's approval. It is possible that the

Foundation may ask questions or request

additional information while considering its

approval. When and if the Foundation does

approve the application, we will then need to

pay our portion and collect pledged donations

from our partnering Rotary clubs.

This project will improve the capacity of

Miguel H. Alcivar Hospital to provide greater
