!
mempergunakan waktu yang tersisa ini sambil berusaha mencapai goal seperti yang telah kita sepakati di awal periode 2014-2015. Goal-goal untuk pertambahan member maupun goal kontribusi kepada TRF. Pekerjaan kita masih banyak, masih diperlukan lebih banyak perhatian untuk menyelesaikan proyek2 yang masih sedang berjalan, baik yang sudah di approve atau yang masih dalam progress.
Saya sarankan kepada Club2 yang masih belum menambah member serta memenuhi goal, agar mempergunakan waktu selama 6 bulan ini dengan sebaikbaiknya, jangan biarkan waktu berlalu tanpa kegiatan untuk pengembangan club masing-masing.
Bulan Januari dalam Rotary Calendar yang baru adalah Vocational Service Month, dimana kita berkesempatan untuk menggunakan profesi kita masing-masing untuk menunjang keberhasilan misi Rotary. Artinya, melalui profesi yang kita tekuni, kita dapat membantu suksesnya pengembangan Rotary.
Untuk lebih mengenalkan Rotary kepada masyarakat luas, persiapkan dan buat acara ROTARY DAY di berbagai daerah, usahakan dalam acara itu bisa menghadirkan banyak Rotarian, Rotaractor, Interactor, serta family dan masyarakat sebanyak-banyaknya. Dalam Rotary Day ini perkenalkan apa yang telah dikerjakan oleh Rotary di seluruh dunia, di negara kita, dan di District kita selama ini, dalam usaha membuat kehidupan masyarakat sekitar menjadi lebih baik.
Dengan demikian Rotary akan lebih dikenal oleh masyarakat luas, sehingga pada akhirnya masyarakat bisa tertarik untuk menjadi bagian dari Rotary dan bergabung menjadi anggota.
!
Di bulan January ini, saatnya pula kita untuk melakukan evaluasi pencapaian program kerja yang sudah kita buat dan lakukan di tahun 2014-2015. Hal-hal penting yang belum sempat kita lakukan dapat segera kita laksanakan untuk memenuhi criteria pemberian Awards/Penghargaan kepada Club dan Board dari President Rotary International (Presidential Citation) maupun dari District. Saya sangat mengharapkan banyak dari Rotary Club di D3420 yang akan mendapatkan Awards/Penghargaan tersebut.
Marilah kita bersama-sama menyelesaikan Tahun Rotary 2014-2015 ini dengan gemilang dan gembira merayakannya di District Conference May 2015 mendatang.
! Salam Light Up Rotary, !

GARY C.K. HUANG PRESIDENT 2014-15
JANUARY 2015 At the beginning of this Rotary year, I asked Rotarians everywhere to Light Up Rotary by holding a Rotary Day. How you do this is something I'm leaving up to you: It can be a full day or just a few hours. It can be organized by your club, by your district, or even across your entire country. It can be a service project, a festival, or any kind of event you want. As long as it's open to the community, embraces the whole family of Rotary, and is fun, it's a Rotary Day. The goal of a Rotary Day is to shine a light on Rotary. For many years, we in Rotary felt that it wasn't appropriate to boast about our good work. We felt it was best to serve quietly and let our work speak for itself. But today, in many communities, people aren't even aware that they have a local Rotary club. Not because the clubs aren't strong, or because they aren't serving well. They are. But if Rotarians don't talk about their work, people will never know about it. It is time for us to Light Up Rotary and let people know what we are doing. In the first half of this Rotary year, I've been thrilled to see how many Rotarians have taken up my Rotary Day challenge. I've attended Rotary Days in so many places, including the Philippines, Korea, China, the United States, Turkey, India, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. Every one has been different, and every one has met the challenge to Light Up Rotary in its own way. If you've organized a Rotary Day in your community, tell us about it: Email details and photos of your event to rotarian@rotary.org, with "Rotary Day" as your subject line. We'll do our best to feature as many Rotary Days as possible in the coming months. And if you haven't planned a Rotary Day yet, why not? It's a great way to share your love for Rotary with your community. When we tell others about Rotary and let them know how membership can enrich their lives, we share a gift that was given to us when we were invited to join our clubs. By passing that gift on, we help ensure that Rotary, and its service, will endure for generations to come.

JANUARY IS VOCATIONAL SERVICE In his autobiography, Paul Harris wrote “Each Rotarian is a connecting link between the Idealism of Rotary and his trade or profession”. A p er s o n jo in s R o tar y as a representative of his/her business or profession. Hence, each club member has an obligation to his/her fellow Rotarians. At the same time, each Rotarian is obligated to exemplify the spirit of Rotary to others, in particular those associated with him/her. Vocational service emphasizes the need for each Rotarian to personally fulfill his/her service in the daily relationships with his/her fellow workers and associates. The basic question concerning vocational service that every Rotarian should ask is: “What can I do in my daily work to be a little more helpful and friendly to others?” This is especially important since vocational service

should be a living and daily experience. Founder Paul Harris had an idea that friendship and business could be mixed and that by doing so would result in more business and friendship for everyone involved. As such, every Rotarian should personally contribute to society through his/her business or profession. They Profit Most Who Serve Best The objectives of vocational service are best exemplified if Rotarians work in accordance with the following guiding principles. 1. Corporate Responsibility
2. Economic Stability (Profitability and productivity) 3. Personal Integrity (Honesty, Loyalty and Integrity in all aspects of business) 4. Welfare (the health, safety of others and conservation of the environment)

Meredith B X E T O R ri a d g n ri a h S 013 Malang Mosher, D3420, 2012-2 After living in Indonesia for 10 months from September 2012 July 2013, I experienced so much. The more I think about it and the longer I'm away from Indonesia makes me realize how big of an impact of living there had on me. It really opened my eyes to the religion of Islam and what that country was like.!
!
I didn't really pay attention to the news about Muslims while I was still living in Canada, but as soon as I told people that I was going on Rotary Youth Exchange to Indonesia they would say things like "Ohh isn't that a Muslim country?", "You should be careful", etc. Hearing people say those things to me didn't really make me afraid or have second thoughts about Indonesia. Honestly, I was thinking more about the exotic and extraordinary animals, insects and fruit that I would find there!! When I got to Indonesia, I was amazed by how many mosques there were and how often they prayed (5 times per day - it's heard from all around for about an hour or so each time they pray!). I didn't really know that much about Islam religion. I found out that Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world!!! I noticed that most girls
and women wear jilbabs or hijabs (a scarf or large piece of material covering their heads). Most of the girls I went to school with wore hijabs and so did my teachers! Although this was something I wasn't used to, it didn't bother me or effect me in anyway - it was just a different piece of clothing I wasn't around before. I made so many friends atSMK Negeri 5 Malang that I still keep in contact with. The majority of the friends I made while living in Indonesia are Muslim.! Although I lived in 4 different host families and was hosted by many other families for short times all following different religions (Christianity, Catholicism, and Islam), they were all very welcoming and loving. Thank you for making me feel part of your family and thank you for taking care of me!! Islam is just another religion. It's unfortunate that there are such horrible people that are Muslim, but there are horrible people in every other religion too.! People are violent and cruel. Not the religion.!
