ROTARY INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT JANUARY 2024 MESSAGE Light the path out of dark days In difficult times like these, it is impossible to avoid feeling heartbroken over the devastation and loss of life caused by war and destructions. Rotary always stands against harming and displacing civilian populations and using armed aggression instead of pursuing peaceful solutions. We advocate for the observance and respect of international law. We believe in strong action to defend and promote peace, even in the darkest of times. But we also take our position as an international, non-political, non-religious organization seriously. To respect the global perspectives and experiences of our members, and to work most effectively in our peacebuilding efforts, we do not choose sides in conflicts. Rotary is made up of 1.4 million people in communities all over the globe who are united in our commitment to building a peaceful world. We strive to ensure that our words and actions prioritize the health and safety of our global membership and the communities where we live and serve. Our members seek to offer humanitarian assistance to those affected by conflict, and our global reach requires that we promote peacebuilding and conflict prevention with cross-cultural, cross-border connections and friendship through Rotary. For decades, Rotary has harnessed these connections to carry out service projects, support peace fellowships and scholarships, and establish programs like Rotary Peace Centers to help build lasting peace. Our members also take action to promote Positive Peace, addressing the underlying causes of conflict, including poverty, discrimination, ethnic tension, lack of access to education, and unequal distribution of resources. Rotary members who wish to wage peace can use district grants and Rotary Foundation global grants to support projects with other Rotary members that help refugees and displaced people, provide medical support and more worldwide. Members can also work with or join peace-focused Rotary Action Groups, Friendship Exchanges, Fellowships, and intercountry committees. And District Designated Funds or district cash can support our peace-building and conflict-prevention efforts. Members and non-members alike can learn more about peacebuilding through the Rotary Positive Peace Academy, a free online course available to anyone with an internet connection. You can find it at positivepeace.academy/rotary. There is no denying that incidents of violence and atrocities being perpetuated around the world seem to be escalating. Global peace is fragile, and stakes are getting higher. Still, we know that it is possible to bring all people together to work toward a shared goal. Rotary members do so every day in every part of the world. May our ability to unify in common purpose be a spark that help light the path out of these dark days. Together, let’s Create Hope in the World. R. Gordon R. McInally President, Rotary International

TRF Trustee Chair's Message – January 2024 Make the Foundation Yours The new year ushers in promise and hope a time to resolve to do things differently. We can do more than just hope for the best. We can take steps – big and small – to make changes in every aspect of our lives, including Rotary. Here’s a New Year’s resolution to consider: Remember that The Rotary Foundation belongs to you. The Foundation is a global force, doing our good work in the world. Just like anything that belongs to you, it requires care and attention. How can we do this? First, get to know your Foundation better this year. Did you know that in 2023, The Foundation achieved a maximum four-star rating from Charity Navigator for the 15th consecutive year? This places your Foundation among the world’s top charities. Why do we consistently receive this honour? It’s because we are financially strong, have a broad reach, and are highly effective with the gifts you give: 91 percent of funds are allocated to program awards and operations. Another way to engage with your Foundation is to support it through a gift, every year. We’ve set an ambitious fundraising goal of $500 million this year and I’m confident that, with your support, we will achieve it. This year, I’m especially counting on those Rotarians and Rotaractors who have not yet contributed to make their first gift. Because The Rotary Foundation is an excellent steward, you can be confident that your gift will make a difference, whether it’s in polio eradication, literacy initiatives, peace education, or any other area in which we excel. In 2024, resolve to share the Foundation with others. The Foundation is too great to keep to ourselves. Spread the word during your fundraisers and events. Let the public know that The Rotary Foundation plays a significant role in everything we do, including in our many partnerships. Anyone can support the Foundation, even people who are not in Rotary. Lastly, this year take action. Your Foundation is waiting for you to roll up your sleeves and make use of its resources to make the world a better place. Seek out global- or district-grant projects. Consider partnering with a Rotaract club in 2024 to support a grant or collaborate on one. Team up with Rotary and Rotaract clubs in your area to plan your biggest million-dollar-dinner fundraiser or End Polio Now event. Whatever you decide to do in 2024, commit to keeping our Foundation in your plans. I can’t wait to hear about all the great things we will accomplish this year.

SERVICE ABOVE SELF – THE OBJECT OF ROTARY 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 developmenbt 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. FOURTH – The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
The Rotary Foundation transforms your gifts into service projects that change lives both close to home and around the world.
How do you want to get involved in the causes you’re most passionate about?

VOCATIONAL SERVICE - JANUARY The Four-Way Test as a Moral Compass By Kadam Bhambari During a meeting of the Rotary Club of Chandigarh Midtown in Chandigarh, India, I encountered a little gem that has reshaped my perspective on ethics, decision-making, and being a better person. This secret code to navigating life’s moral maze was none other than The Four-Way Test. To me, The Four-Way Test provides a simple but powerful set of questions that serve as a moral compass in both personal and professional realms. The first question asks, “Is it the TRUTH?” Imagine if we all took a pause before spreading news or sharing information, verifying if it’s as true as it claims to be. This question alone could revolutionize how we interact and understand the world around us. Then comes, “Is it FAIR to all concerned?” Ah, fairness, the pillar of justice! This question pushes us to consider the impact of our decisions on everyone involved. I remember a situation at work where I had to assign tasks. Asking myself this question made me reconsider and reshuffle the workload to ensure fairness among my team. Next up, “Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?” Now, this one’s a heart-warmer! It nudges us to think about fostering positive relationships and creating goodwill in our actions. I recall a time when a simple act of kindness — helping a neighbor with groceries — resulted in a lasting friendship. And finally, “Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?” This question challenges us to assess the long-term consequences of our actions, making us mindful of creating genuine, lasting benefits for everyone involved. The beauty of The Four-Way Test lies in its adaptability. It’s not about blindly following rules but about using these questions as a moral framework, a roadmap for making decisions that positively impact our communities and the world at large. You don’t need to be a Rotarian to embrace this philosophy. Imagine if everyone integrated these questions into our daily lives! That’s why I’m throwing out the challenge — let’s try it for a week. Before making a decision, big or small, run it through The Four-Way Test. Rotary’s commitment to these principles has fueled incredible projects worldwide, from eradicating polio to empowering communities through education and sustainable development. It’s a shining example of the incredible influence of prioritizing ethical decision-making and selfless service. Let’s take a cue from Rotary and allow these questions to guide our actions. Let’s start a ripple effect of ethical decision-making that transforms our lives and the world around us. Remember, it all starts with asking the right questions. Share your experiences, thoughts, and even the hurdles you faced in the comments below.

THE CONCEPT OF VOCATIONAL SERVICE The Object of Rotary (see the previous page) 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 profession in your club and take time to learn about fellow members’ occupations. Use your skills and expertise to serve a community. Practice your profession with integrity and inspire others to behave ethically through your words and actions. Help young people achieve their career goals. Guide and encourage others in their professional development.
By undertaking these activities, you bring vocational service to life. Vocational service is the essence of Rotary and serves as the foundation from which we serve our communities around the world. Integrity and Ethics – Four-Way Test and Rotarian Code of Conduct Rotary emphasizes integrity and high ethical standards. Two standards developed by Rotarians – The FourWay Test and the Rotarian Code of Conduct – provide a road map for ethical behaviour in the workplace and other areas of life. History of the Four-Way Test The Four-Way Test was conceived in 1932 by businessman Herbert J. Taylor, a member of the Rotary Club of Chicago, Illinois, USA, who served as Rotarian International president in 1954-55. Having taken on the task of saving a company from bankruptcy, Taylor developed the test as an ethical guide to follow in all business matters. The company’s survival was credited to this simple philosophy. Adopted by Rotary International in 1934, The Four-Way Test remains an essential standard against which Rotarians measure ethical behaviour. It has been translated into dozens of languages and promoted by Rotarians worldwide. The Rotarian Code of Conduct The Rotarian Code of Conduct provides a framework for ethical behaviour that all Rotarians can use, together with The Four-Way Test, in their business and professional activities. As part of Rotary’s guiding principles and the Avenues of Service, Vocational SErivce calls on Rotarians to empower others by using their unique skills and expertise to address community needs and help others discover new professional opportunities and interests. This handbook can help you gain a better understanding of vocational service and provide you with ideas to practice it through your service activities, in your personal life, and in your career.

Make Polio History
We have a historic opportunity to get to zero cases, but if we don’t keep working, polio could quickly make a comeback, paralyzing hundreds of thousands of children again in our lifetime. The GPEI has the knowledge and tools to end polio for good, but we need your help to finish the job. Join the Make Polio History campaign by raising your voice in support of polio eradication to tell donors, polio-affected country governments and other global partners that eradication is possible and urgently needed now.

A CRIPPLING AND LIFE-THREATENING DISEASE Polio is a highly infectious disease, mostly affecting young children, that attacks the nervous system and can lead to spinal and respiratory paralysis, and in some cases death. Polio has existed since prehistoric times – ancient Egyptian images show children walking with canes, with withered limbs characteristic of the disease. While it affected children around the world for millennia, the first known clinical description of polio, by British doctor Michael Underwood, was not until 1789, and it was formally recognized as a condition in 1840 by German physician Jakob Heine. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, frequent epidemics saw polio become the most feared disease in the world. A major outbreak in New York City in 1916 killed over 2000 people, and the worst recorded US outbreak in 1952 killed over 3000. Many who survived the disease faced lifelong consequences. Deformed limbs meant they needed leg braces, crutches or wheelchairs, and some needed to use breathing devices like the iron lung, an artificial respirator invented for treatment of polio patients. By the mid-20th century, the poliovirus could be found all over the world and killed or paralysed over half a million people every year. With no cure, and epidemics on the rise, there was an urgent need for a vaccine. A breakthrough occurred in 1949, when poliovirus was successfully cultivated in human tissue by John Enders, Thomas Weller and Frederick Robbins at Boston Children’s Hospital. Their pioneering work was recognized with the 1954 Nobel Prize. Not long afterwards, in the early 1950s, the first successful vaccine was created by US physician Jonas Salk. Salk tested his experimental killed-virus vaccine on himself and his family in 1953, and a year later on 1.6 million children in Canada, Finland and the USA. The results were announced on 12 April 1955, and Salk’s inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) was licensed on the same day. By 1957, annual cases dropped from 58 000 to 5600, and by 1961, only 161 cases remained.
January 2024 , 2020
Page 18
Salk was committed to equitable access to his vaccine, and understood that elimination efforts would not work without universal low- or no-cost vaccination. Six pharmaceutical companies were licensed to produce IPV, and Salk did not profit from sharing the formulation or production processes. In a 1955 interview, when asked who owned the patent for IPV, he replied: “Well, the people, I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?” Click here to read the rest of the article.

The WASH Rotary Action Group was formed in 2007 by a group of Rotarians, recognized by Rotary International, and focused on WASH projects. Since then, it has facilitated many hundreds of projects – helping clubs find partners, ensuring sustainability, stressing the importance of a needs-driven approach, and developing best practices. We encourage a holistic, integrated approach in which water is not the end in itself, but is rather the means to a better life and livelihood in the community. Most importantly, WASH Rotary Action Group links water and sanitation to improved hygiene, better health, and empowerment of the community – especially women, irrigation and agriculture, education and literacy and, ultimately, child mortality.

NEWEST PROJECTS FOR OUR CLUB … to keep in mind… HELPING MIGRANT WORKERS The Passport Club of District 6330 is happy to announce their newest service project, Backpacks for Migrant Workers. North Lambton Community Health Care created the Migrant Worker Project to support the 700 migrant workers working in Sarnia and Lambton County. Our club is working with the Project Coordinator, Andrea Jones-Peper, by providing backpacks for newly arriving workers. We will fill the backpacks with items requested by workers, such as toiletries. Our club will request a district grant to increase our impact.
FOOD INSECURITY – CUP OF KINDNESS The club would like to make a substantial impact on reducing food insecurity with a project aimed at raising funds for Food Banks in our individual communities. Each member will fill a "Cup of Kindness" by filling a cup or two cups (or more) with coins, hopefully loonies and toonies, then donating the funds to their local food bank. Donations should be rewarded with a tax receipt. And we are planning a “Receipt Party” in early January. Rotarians, friends, and relatives are encouraged to help members fill the cups in support of this excellent project!
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY - And three of our members (Susan, Bev, Wendy) have volunteered to help judge the Butterfly Stories to be submitted to Rotary E-Club of the Caribbean, 7020. This participation makes it officially a multi-district project!

BELRAG – BASIC EDUCATION AND LITERACY ROTARY ACTION GROUP Of interest to our club? Since 2014, Rotary members have developed and implemented more than 1420 BEL Global Grants with budgets totaling more than $86 million (USD) That is tremendous support for basic education and literacy around our Rotary world. In addition to larger projects supported through Global Grants, there are countless BEL projects that Rotarians support through club funding, many of them in their own communities. The November BELRAG newsletter announced the Rotary Clubs selected to receive the 2023 BELRAG Awards. They are excellent examples of community-based projects that are making a difference. Applications for the awards were received from all corners of the world. BELRAG was able to provide funds for each of four projects ($500 each), including one Rotaract project. Enjoy reading about this year's award recipients - and start planning to share your club's project in 2024. Of great interest to Rotary members is the use of technology to enhance classroom instruction and improve student learning. More funding is directed to technology in classrooms than to any other area of BEL Global Grants. Enjoy this November BELRAG Newsletter as you support BEL programs to Create Hope in the World Carolyn Johnson Chair Emeritus, BELRAG

PLANNING TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS District and club leaders, do you have a Rotary goal for 2024? Achieving goals can be challenging, but if you create a plan, you’re halfway there. If your goal is to grow your club, remember that every January we see a big increase in inquiries about joining Rotary. These prospective members are waiting to hear from you. You can gain a better understanding of how to turn these leads into members by taking the Online Membership Leads course. Establish a leads management process within your district or club and distribute the workload within your membership committee. This way, tasks can be completed efficiently and effectively. It’s important to create a consistent, positive experience for these potential members. If you know people who might be interested in joining Rotary, follow your club’s process for proposing a new member or ask them to complete the Join Rotary form. The form allows prospective members to indicate their preference for a club meeting location. When new members join your club, engage with them right away. Make sure all new members take the member interest survey so you can understand their interests and how they’d like to get involved.
