Dear Rotarians, Rotaractors, and friends, This does not seem like a time for great oprimism, but it has to be. Long before Rotar was founded, the world dealt with great crises that tested humankind’s ability to progress and endure. In the age of Rotary, the world has faced many more catastrophes; however, we have survived, and every step of the way, Rotary has helped the world heal. Every great challenge is an opportuunity for renewal and growth. I revealed the theme of Rotary Opens Opportunities at the International Assembly in San Diego just as the COVID-19 crisis was beginning bt these are words that I have believed for many years. Rotary is not just a club that you join. It is an invitation to endless opportunities. We believe in creating opportunities for others and for ourselves. We believe that our acts of service, large and small, generate opportunities for people who need our help and that Rotary opens opportunities for us to live a richer, more meaningful life, with friends around the world, based on our core valules. Governments and institutions are gaining a greater appreciation for the types of public health partnerships that are critical to our work. People stuck at home, eager for greater connections and hungry to help their communities are now embracing the values we have promoted since our beginning. All of this is positive news, but just because there are greater opportunities than ever for Rotary to thrive does not guarantee that we will succeed. The world is changing rapidly – and was doing so even before this crisis. People were stasrsting to move away from regular lunch meetingsg and toward online gatherings. Friendships were being cultivated and revived in social media relationships even before most of our meetings moved to Zoom and Skype. Younger generations have a strong desire to sersve – but have questioned whether they could play a meaningful role in organizations like Rotary or whether they might make a bigger impact forming different types of connections. Now is the time to put everything on the table, test new approaches, and prepare Rotary for the future. The COVID-19 crisis has forced all of us to adapt. This is good, and our n ew Action Plan specifically calls on us to improve our ability to adapt. But adaptation is not enough. We need to change, and hcange dramatically, if we are to face the challenges of this new age and provide th eRotary that the world so desperately needs. This is our great challenge, not just in the next year but into the future. It is up to us to remake Rotary for these new times – to wholeheartedly embrace the ideas, energy, and commitment of young people eager to find an outlet for idealism. We must become an organization fully enmeshed in the digital age, not one that simply looks for online ways to keep doing what we have always done. The world needs Rotary now more than ever. It is up to us to make sure that Rotary Opens Opportunities for generations to come.

A little bit about Rotary – The Rotarian Magazine The first issue was published in January 1911 as The National Rotarian. It included news items from existing clubs, announcements of new clubs, and an essay by Paul P. Harris. Rotary’s founder discussed the purpose of Rotary clubs and pondered what the response would be if he asked every Rotarian, “What is the philosophy of Rotary as you understand it?” Harris, along with Secretary Chesley R. Perry, launched the publication to share information with a growing number of Rotarians. Perry was the magazine’s first editor and held the position until 1928. The official formation of clubs in Canada and England prompted the magazine to change its name to The Rotarian, starting with the September 1912 issue. Early on, the magazine focused on business ethics, character development, and membership growth. Throughout the years, well-known critics and authors, along with popular artists and photographers, contributed their work to its covers and pages. In the 1940s, the magazine published many commentaries about the effects of war by prominent writers and leaders such as Sherwood Anderson, Winston Churchill, Thomas Mann, H.G. Wells, Mohandas K. Gandhi, George Bernard Shaw, Pearl S. Buck, and J. Edgar Hoover. A selection of these articles was reprinted in three booklets from 1942 to 1947. As Rotary clubs formed around the world, regional magazines appeared, each offering Rotary news from a local perspective. The first regional magazine was published in Great Britain and Ireland in 1915. More than half of Rotarians worldwide receive a regional magazine instead of The Rotarian. The Rotary World Magazine Press publishes more than 30 officially licensed Rotary regional magazines. These publications are produced independently by Rotarians, distributed in more than 130 countries, and published in more than 20 languages. • Browse and search past issues of The Rotarian.

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is more critical than ever to recognize the power and importance of vaccines, which save millions of lives each year. Canada, the first government to contribute to the global effort to eradicate polio in 1986, has announced new investments to support immunization. Alongside renewed funding for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, the Honourable Karina Gould, Canada’s Minister of International Development, committed C$ 47.5 million annually over four years to support the Global Polio Eradication Initiative’s Endgame Strategy. Due to widespread polio vaccination efforts over the past 30 years, more than 18 million people are walking today who would otherwise have been paralyzed, and cases have dropped by 99.9% thanks to the tireless efforts of health workers, local governments and global partners. The GPEI is proud to count on generous donors, including Canada, who have helped make this progress possible. This new investment will help the programme ensure gains made to date are not lost, resume activities as soon as it is feasible, implement strategies to overcome the remaining barriers to eradication, and further the dream of a polio-free world. Minister Gould stated: “As a global community, we must work to ensure that those most vulnerable, including women and children, have access to vaccinations to keep them healthy wherever they live. COVID-19 has demonstrated that viruses do not know borders. Our health here in Canada depends on the health of everyone,
July, 2020

everywhere. Together, we must build a more resilient planet.” The Minister added “The world has never been closer to eradicating polio, but the job is not done. With continued transmission in Afghanistan and Pakistan, we cannot afford to be complacent.” Frontline polio workers in countries around the world are currently supporting the COVID-19 response, using networks established by the GPEI to focus on case detection, tracing, testing and data management. The G7 and the G20, including the Canadian Government, have recognized the important role GPEI assets play in strengthening health systems and advancing global health security, especially among the most vulnerable populations of the world. In line with its feminist international assistance policy, Canada has encouraged the GPEI to build on the important role played by women in the programme, from the front lines to programme management and political leadership. Akhil Iyer, Director of the Polio Eradication Programme at UNICEF said, “The new funding from the Canadian government is a testament to the major role played by the Canadian people in the historical fight against polio, and I am proud to be part of this endeavour as a Canadian citizen myself. Back in the 1950’s in Canada, poliovirus outbreaks could have paralysed or killed so many more children, and could have plagued the economy and pushed millions in vicious circles of poverty and ill health. But thanks to the scientific breakthrough of Dr. Leone Farrell who made mass production of polio vaccines possible, strong leadership and a learning health system, Canada was able to overcome the polio outbreaks and thrive during the following decades. It is more inspiring than ever, as we strive together to end polio from the world for good.” Rotary clubs throughout Canada welcomed the new pledge as a continuation of the country’s leadership and partnership to end polio. Canada has worked closely with Rotary clubs in Canada since 1986 when Canada became a donor to GPEI. To date, Canadian Rotarians have raised and contributed more than US$ 41.3 million to eradication efforts. Michel Zaffran, Director of the Polio Eradication Programme at the World Health Organization said, “I would like to express the profound gratitude of the GPEI partners to the Government and to the citizens of Canada for their tremendous support and engagement to end polio globally. The pandemic we are facing today is a stark reminder of the critical need for solidarity at all levels, international cooperation and of the power of vaccines and immunization. Canada is walking the talk: it is demonstrating once more its exemplary commitment to ensuring access to essential vaccinations, leading efforts to advance gender equality and reducing the burden of infectious diseases.”

UPDATE FROM WASRAG Water and Sanitation Rotary Action Group
The name of this Rotary Action Group is changing: WASH Rotary Action Group (to include Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene)
July, 2020
Page 11
Below is an excerpt from the Report of the Chair to the membership – June 2020 It is my sincere pleasure to welcome you to the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Rotary Action Group (now known as WASH Rotary Action Group) Annual General Meeting. You will be aware that some twelve months ago, the Rotary Foundation Trustees made amendments to some Action Group names. In our case, they added “Hygiene” to the title to better represent what we do. The title was also changed from “Rotarian” to Rotary Action Group. On the recommendation of the Operations Team, I am delighted to say our Board of Directors agreed to the change of name which has also been approved by Rotary International.
WASH Done Right In January 2019, the Rotary Club of Boxhill Central , Australia and Rotary Club of Nasik Road , India cut the ribbon on a new toilet block and hand washing station at the Vidya Prashala School, Nasik, India. Recently, members of the Boxhill Central Club returned to assess the impact. They knew what was built was making a difference when a young girl said “The toilets you gave to our school have changed my life. They have also changed my village.” The headmaster told them that there has been a large reduction in absentee days among the girls and an increase in girls enrolled in the school including some returning to school now that good toilets are available. At a village where the students come from, the Mayor indicated that before the toilets were built at the school many of the homes did not have toilets. Immediately after the toilets were opened at the school the children started putting pressure on their families. Within months every home had a toilet and today nobody in the village would even consider going in the open any more. To learn more about this project visit: Rotary opens toilets, handwash stations in Nashik.

The sanitation project was completed within 60 days as the date for the handing over ceremony was finalised before the work began. Along with Julia, a host of Rotarians from partnering clubs — Stephen McKenzie, PDG Jennifer Coburn, Roger Coburn, PDG Brian Martin, PP Don Sweeney, Anita Sweeney, Mark Balla and Anne Balla, all from Australia — and DG Pinky Patel, RID 3060, attended the inaugural ceremony. This school serves about 1,200 students who come from 17 villages walking or cycling their way for up to 6 km each way. PDG Dattatraya Deshmukh and DGE Rajendra Bhamre were also present on the occasion. The students gave a warm reception to the delegates and performed a traditional Lazeem dance. An exhibition of vocational skills being provided to the students, and some of the science projects done by them were shown to the delegates.
E-Club of WASH - Online Meetings On the first and third Thursday of every month at 8:00 pm Eastern, you can attend an online meeting focused on a common interest of WASH Issues. To learn more visit https://www.rotarywasheclub.org/ or join at https://zoom.us/j/314362718

This incident is narrated … by Rotarian Pankaj Patel, President of RC Pune Far East, D 3131, who, along with his club members, has totally transformed Tambe, a tribal village about 116 km from Pune… meeting its water storage needs and building a spanking new school for the 100-odd students of the Higher Secondary Babasaheb Ambedkar Vidyalaya in that village.

Passport Clubs differ from e-clubs in that members live within a defined geographical region- in this case, District 6330. If you think this new style of Rotary club might be a good fit for you- reach out!
When someone asks you What is a Passport Club? The District 6330 Passport Club is a new format of Rotary Club; one where the structure better suits the lives of those who maybe can’t meet on a weekly basis or make significant financial contributions but who still have a passion for what Rotary does best; doing good. To facilitate this, the 6330 Passport Club conducts business electronically and offers several in-person opportunities per year. In lieu of weekly meetings, members are encouraged to engage in humanitarian service, however that works best for them! The founding principle is simple: Make Rotary fit your life! The Rotary District 6330 Passport Club members are full Rotary members, with the same privileges and rights as Rotarians who are members of traditional clubs.

What a night! A project update! It’s amazing what a bunch of dedicated Rotarians can do in a matter of three days! Here are the current numbers on our fundraiser for the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan: For the East Coast Kitchen Party (ECKP) we had a total of 33 donors for a total of $3,570 USD ($4,916 in Canadian). We area well on our way to our goal! A big Thank You to our secret donor who turned out to be our very own Susan Elliott! Thanks, Sue, for your contribution to the event!
Food Bank of Eastern Michigan Fundraiser This has been, and continues to be, a challenging season for everyone, especially for those most impacted by COVID-19. Our Passport Club raised support and awareness for the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan through the East Coast Kitchen Party. The monies raised help children, families, seniors, and neighbours who are vulnerable during this time. The Food Bank’s leveraging power allows us to provide 6 meals for every $1 donated, so anyone can make an impact. The Food Bank has grown to serve more than 415 partner agencies throughout 22 Eastern Michigan counties. The Food Bank serves all Michigan communities of District 6330. To learn more, click here.

From Lynn Coates‌ A short while ago, I was part of a group organized by PDG Diane. Through Facebook, she sent out a request for participation for a drive-by at Parkwood Hospital thanking our Veterans there for their service. There were other club members out supporting this event as well. I am the one in white pants holding my poster. This is another example of Passport Club Community involvement. Notice that we all were social distancing for the picture!

President Marsha’s opening message to the club In 2019-20, our first full year as a club, we worked hard on placing the foundation on which our club could grow. Now that we have a better sense of who we are and what we would like to do, I feel this coming year will be one in which we get to know one another better, we engage more regularly and we work on growing our club so that we can do more good in our communities and in the world around us. During the RI Virtual Convention, I heard it mentioned that we should not have to choose between Rotary or our Family and it really resonated with me. I want to make sure that our families feel a part of our club. We can set a great example to our future generations when they see us living our Rotary life. Helping others and promoting peace and diversity within our communities are the examples we should be setting. Going forward, I welcome all family members to check in and say hi when we are at our monthly meetings. It’s always great when we get to wave to the kids in the background. I believe that our Rotary family should include all of our family. So to start, please say hi to my family……… When it comes to engagement, I have an idea that I would like to try out. I would like to have a Passport Ambassador be part of every Area President’s Group. For the past year, I have been a part of the Area 7 group and have had the opportunity to learn more about the clubs in my community and what they are doing in the way of projects and volunteer opportunities. It helps me to feel more connected and also is a great way for me to volunteer with what interests me that is close to home helping my neighbors. Looking at the demographics of our club, we cover all 10 Areas. I will send an email to all members looking for volunteers. Please consider being an Ambassador for our Club. It will be a great way to share information throughout the district. In the area of growing our club, I have a few ideas there too. We have a few fundraising projects in the initial stages and I would also like to look at Individual sponsorships. There will be more info coming to you soon on these ideas. As far as services projects for the upcoming year, I hope that our members continue to bring projects they want to work on to the table. We had many successful individual projects that had great impact happen this last year. I would also like to look at us as a Club raise funds for Shelter Box and Aquabox. Both of those projects help those who are in most need of assistance when disaster strikes. In closing, I want to thank our newly appointed Board of Directors for donating their time and talents to help make our club a successful one. And I want to thank all of you, the members, who have made 6330 Passport Club a very innovative and unique club. One that I am very proud to be a member of. Please raise your glass ~ here’s to an exciting 20-21!

The theme for the new Rotary year 2020-21 shows three different doors with three different colours: Red for Rotaract, Yellow for Interact, and Blue for Rotary. The doors are open, allowing the winds of change to enter our clubs. The pandemic has forced us all to pivot, modify, and adapt. Past President Allan will be passing along the Rotary bell to our new Club President, along with the framed Club Charter.
Rotarian of the Year Our Club member, Lynne Ternosky, has been named the Rotarian of the Year for her leadership and insight into the very timely, important, and successful COVID-19 project providing Face Shields to the Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance.

The Zone
District 6330 is part of Zones 28 & 32 And there’s a monthly newsletter for Zones 28 & 32
Beyond Borders News is published monthly and contains articles of interest to Rotary leaders. Regular features include "Bright Lights" stories of success, along with updates and reports of significant events, appointments of Rotarians to Zone and Rotary International committees and taskforces, and other stories of interest. Click here for more information about our Zone. RI Director for Zones 28 & 32, Jeffry Cadorette, is stepping down on June 30 as his term (2018-2020) comes to an end. In his place, Valarie Wafer of Rotary Club of Collingwood, South Georgian Bay, becomes the RI Director for Zones 28 & 32 on July 1, 2020. From Valarie Wafer, incoming RI Director: “If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself” – Henry Ford
July, 2020
Page 26
This is the last Valarie’s View from the Wings column that I will write as a Director-elect. This series, written by the Director-elect, is meant to highlight and share the journey of an RI Director from nomination to taking office. It is a wonderful tradition that began under the leadership of PRIVP Dean Rohrs and will continue when my successor is named at the end of this calendar year. As many of us get ready to drop an “e” from our title, I think the quote from Henry Ford speaks volumes to the leadership of our Zones. From the time of my nomination, Director Jeffry Cadorette has been my mentor and my friend. Through the many phone calls and meetings, Jeffry has been there to ensure that I am ready to accept the baton he will pass to me on July 1. We thank Jeffry for all that he has done to move our organization forward and all that he will continue to do in the future. Jeffry is a visionary and I will always be grateful that we moved forward together - and that success is before us. For those leaders that are coming to the end of your term on June 30. THANK YOU. This really is meant to be in capital, bold letters.
RI Director Valarie Wafer
You have shown great leadership in the last term of office. You have adapted to the world we currently live in; you have reached out to support your communities, and you have engaged your clubs and districts. I am truly inspired by you! As we officially welcome nine new districts to our Zone 28/32 family next month, I thank RID Jeffry and PDG Chris Etienne on their leadership to ensure the transition was seamless. I look forward to being on your Team! We need succession planning now more than ever. Please support the incoming leaders. We are going to need your support and experience. We know that we will not be taking office July 1 in a traditional way. It will feel uncomfortable, weird, and perhaps at times overwhelming. If we all move forward together, we will have a better chance at a sustainable outcome.

From Lynne Ternosky‌ In times of the pandemic, high school students completed their studies online and in isolation. We congratulate Winnie Nangami, aged 17, who came to Canada with her three sisters from Uganda several years ago. I met them the day they arrived at Toronto airport. Winnie now lives in a woman’s shelter with her sisters and her niece, aged two, in Lynne Stratford. It has not been easy for her, working since age 14 to pay for school expenses, clothes, and food. Her first year in public school awarded her recognition for her math skills, so now Winnie has applied in hopes of attending Fanshawe College in London to study finances. Last year, her older sister was awarded a one-year scholarship by Rotary and had an opportunity to attend Rotary leadership training. Winnie had hoped to participate in the Rotary training as well, but the pandemic stopped this. The pandemic closed her job, so Winnie applied for unemployment insurance like many others. Her summer job was to provide for school expenses but is now part-time. Winnie is a hard worker and has been through more than many youth here, but you can see the positive attitude she has as she and her sisters try to plan their futures! Above all, Winnie knows the many others in Uganda without this hope. Her mother died when she was young, so she, like her sisters, are a product of other family and they all value education. (These photos were taken taken Saturday June 27 when Lynne Ternosky, whom she calls Aunt Lynne, delivered a congratulatory card for her. Winnie has her landed immigrant status and applied for Canadian citizenship in 2019. Currently, she is waiting notice.)
