Greetings, dear changemakers of Rotary,
What a year it has been for Rotary! You have lived up to every challenge, including to grow more, do more, and Rotary has grown in a way that we haven’t in many years. This year saw life-changing new projects across all areas of focus, as we took up important work at the highest level – with UNICEF, the Commonwealth, and global leaders. Our efforts opened opportunities to empower girls, improve the environment, and advance literacy and health. I want to thank each of you for your proactive service. I also want to thank the wonderful Rotary staff for ensuring that we can work with care for our fellow human beings, with peace in our hearts. Personally, this has been an extremely enriching year for Rashi and me. We’ve met with thousands of Rotarians and been inspired by their great work around the world. We were also able to showcase Rotary’s work at the highest level, meeting with heads of state, leaders, and bureaucrats and offering to work with them to show that Rotary cares and brings peace in this world. With our swan song, Rashi and I wish you the very best as you Serve to Change Lives.

DNIPRO, Ukraine — Facing potential conscription into Ukraine’s military, ballroom dance instructor Nazar Shashkov, 32, says he would be “useless” with a gun. But the soft-spoken Shashkov has already faced more danger than some army recruits, having made repeated journeys behind enemy lines to rescue his students and others trapped in his besieged hometown of Mariupol. A pro-Russia soldier “took a gun in his hand and told me to get on my knees in the corner,” he said, describing an encounter at a checkpoint in the city. As he kneeled with his arms in the air, the soldier put the gun to his head and held it there for about a minute, Shashkov said. “I was silent. I didn’t say anything,” he recalled, adding that the soldier eventually let him go but only after robbing him of his money and warning him that his next trip to Mariupol would be his last. Up to that point Shashkov had beaten the odds in avoiding such a confrontation. He had dodged shrapnel that tore into his van and swerved around craters, landmines and dead bodies to rescue a total of around 100 people on nine trips in and out of the beleaguered city. Before the invasion, Shashkov said he had used his van to ferry his students to dance competitions. Shrapnel has since torn a hole in the bodywork near his dance school logo on the side of the vehicle. “I was terrified,” Shashkov said, describing his first trip out of the city. “I wasn’t driving very carefully.” Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has fractured the country, sending more than 11 million Ukrainians fleeing for safety farther west and at times splitting families, with many civilians remaining stuck in cities behind Russian lines or in the midst of Russia’s military push in the east. Humanitarian corridors have been stop-and-start, leaving some Ukrainians to stage their own rescue efforts. Except for a pocket of Ukrainian soldiers holed up at the Azovstal steel plant, Mariupol is now almost completely occupied by Russian forces after weeks of heavy bombardment. Power, water and gas were cut off soon after the Russian invasion began in late February, and there is no cellphone service. Click here to read more.

Nataliya (Natasha) Nikolenko told Ed Dickson before the war in Ukraine began that she would someday come to Canada. That seemed unlikely to Dickson, the overseas co-ordinator with the Chatham-based humanitarian organization, Loads of Love, which has been working in Ukraine for many years, including at the orphanage where Nikolenko was raised. “I said, ‘Natasha, that’s really great that you’re so positive and so optimistic but it’s really almost impossible,’” Dickson said he recalls telling her. Born without use of her arms and legs, Nikolenko was abandoned by her parents as an infant. After creating a life for herself in Ukraine as an artist who holds paint brushes in her mouth, Russia’s invasion of her homeland resulted in her prediction coming true. Nikolenko, 36, and her caregiver, Anya Kozub, arrived in Sarnia in mid-April from Romania, where they had initially fled. They are now living in a Wellington Flats apartment donated by Vision Nursing and Rest Home. The two are being assisted by Bethel Pentecostal Church as part of its effort to help settle refugees from Ukraine. Click here to read more.

O CANADA Jennifer Jones inaugurates her presidential term with an epic tour of her home and native land. On June 17, RI President-elect Jennifer Jones will begin a tour of Canada. And when Jennifer Jones tours Canada, she tours Canada. From Lake Erie to the Arctic Ocean, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, Jones will spend more than three weeks introducing herself to members of Rotary in Canada – and to anyone else who wants to come out and say hello. “We have three coasts in Canada,” says Carol Tichelman, the national tour chair, “and Jennifer will be travelling from coast to coast to coast. And we have many cross-border districts,” she adds, referencing those Rotary districts with clubs in both Canada and the United States. “But Rotary is borderless, and any and all are welcome.” Jones’ plans for the Canada tour and the Imagine Impact Tour that will follow took shape during conversations with her husband, Nick Krayacich. “As a way of focusing our presidential travel, we decided to create a global impact tour to showcase projects and programs of significance across the Rotary world,” she says. “When we share our stories, like-minded people want to join with us. This tour provides an opportunity for others to see themselves reflected in our actions, and perhaps they will want to learn more about Rotary.”
RI President-elect Jennifer Jones
Each stop – or “hub,” as the organizers characterize it – will provide occasions to participate in local projects. “The focus is on service,” says Tichelman. “All of the hubs are going to be exciting in their own right. There is so much about Jennifer’s tour that promises to be wonderful.”
“But these events are not just for Rotarians,” insists Chris Offer, who helped plan events in Vancouver. “At each of the stops along the tour, they are for anyone who can get to these hub areas.” “The best part of this tour is that it is going to energize us for the year ahead,” Jones says. “While this is the first leg of the Imagine Impact Tour, there is nothing that can’t be accomplished when Rotary members unit – and we are ready to get started!”

THE NEED FOR SPEED When it comes to stopping polio outbreaks, speed is everything. Rapid action within a specific window of time is critical. Malawi declared a public health emergency in February after uncovering a case of wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) – its first in 30 years. The country sprang into action, leading the charge in a multi-country vaccination response aiming to reach more than 23 million children in the sub-region with bivalent oral polio vaccine (bOPV). Three months later, neighbouring Mozambique which has been part of the same response, declared its own emergency after the virus paralyzed a child on its home soil. The country is doubling down on efforts to protect its children. The nimble actions of the south-eastern African nations have been lauded by the GPEI as examples of what must be done to effectively quash circulation of the highly infectious poliovirus. “Indeed, Malawi has moved quickly; thus far we haven’t seen further detection of WPV1 in the country,” said Dr Modjirom Ndoutabe, Polio Programme Coordinator a.i., WHO AFRO. “It is important that further campaign rounds are carried out as planned and reach all targeted children to boost immunity in Malawi and its surrounding countries, and we’re working with governments to maintain heightened surveillance sensitivity so that we can closely track this virus through this outbreak period,” he added. “What we’ve seen in Malawi and Mozambique following their detections, but also Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe engaged in the response is encouraging. The need for speed in recognizing and communicating the public health threat and conducting quality vaccination campaigns to protect children cannot be understated,” said Aidan O’Leary, Director of WHO’s polio eradication programme. Addressing a dual threat Wild poliovirus is not the only form of poliovirus facing the African Region, or the world at large. Outbreaks of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) continue to pose an equally menacing threat to countries. Through rollout of a new vaccine to counter the most prevalent form of these outbreaks, cVDPV2, transmission has been stopped in the majority of countries that have deployed the tool. Additionally, a significant number of outbreaks have been recently closed following use of the traditional monovalent oral polio vaccine type 2 (mOPV2). “WHO African Region’s Rapid Response Team (for polio) recently conducted a review of polio outbreaks over the past two years, looking at time passed since last virus detections in infected countries, surveillance quality indicators, and immunization response quality and immunity profiles of populations. I am pleased to say that 32 separate emergences of cVDPV in the Region have been declared closed across 13 countries in Africa,” said Dr Ndoutabe. “Closure of these cVDPV outbreaks is testament to the work that has gone into achieving the high levels of vaccination coverage needed to stop transmission, and efforts to sharpen surveillance for the disease. It also illustrates the effectiveness of the vaccines we have to do the job,” said O’Leary. “Regardless of which tool is used, GPEI urges all countries affected by poliovirus to act without delay, in line with timelines contained in its SOPs for outbreak response. We must ensure that actions are commensurate with the public health emergency that polio is, despite challenges,” he reiterated. Both viruses found in Malawi and Mozambique stem from WPV1 that was circulating in endemic Pakistan in 2019 and 2020. Though wild poliovirus cases are dwindling – currently at the lowest level in history – the fresh detections underscore both the danger of importation and the need to finish the job.

ROTARY’S CORE VALUES
WHAT IS ROTARY? Rotary International is an international service organization whose stated purpose is to bring business and professional leaders in order to provide humanitarian service and to advance goodwill and peace around the world. It is a non-political and non-religious organization.

Passport Clubs differ from e-clubs in that members live within a defined geographical region – in this case, District 6330. However, that’s not always the case. The D6330 Global Passport Club members’ defined geographical area is the globe. 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 founding principle is simple: Make Rotary fit your life! 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 members of the Rotary Club of District 6330 Passport are full Rotary members, with the same privileges and rights as Rotarians who are members of traditional clubs.

Dear Passport Club Members: If you were unable to attend last month’s meeting, please take the time to review the following information. Our event, in honor of Earth Day – An Evening with Sir David Attenborough – About 40 Zoom participants joined. Over $700 in donations were received to World Wildlife Fund. This is a very good turnout by our members and/or donations to meet our monthly challenge. Thanks to a great committee, chaired by Adrienne, supported by Rich, Kitty, and Sue S. The challenge for June is to Save the date and attend our June meeting. June 22. We will NOT have a meeting on June 1. Instead, the Changeoverof-Officers meeting will be held on June 22 beginning at 6:30. A social event on Zoom, with a little Rotary business, and very much in tune with our unwritten 5th item in the 4-Way test - Will it be fun?. Please join and feel free to include friends and family. Because Bill Tobin's ShelterBox presentation was excellent, and important, here is a You Tube link to the video with a short amount of our meeting. Bill Tobin is a Rotarian and Shelter Box employee. (You can use the viewing of this as attendance to our meeting if you Club President, Joyce Nolin-Capman let Mariann know you did so.) This alliance with Shelter Box is another reason I am very proud to be a Rotary member. I appreciate the important partnership RI has with Shelter Box. https://studio.youtube.com/video/9UtGxSAWp2s/edit The Rotary Ranch Party at the end of May allowed us to receive funds to donate to Shelter box. If you did not participate, please consider making a donation to Shelter Box. Be sure to mention our club when you complete the personal information on the donation page. So far, our club has donated $500 from our budget, and I am aware of additional donations of $200 from members, as well as an estimated $700 from the Rotary Ranch Party. Will keep you posted on that. Best regards,
Your current President, Joyce

OUR CLUB’S ENVIRONMENT PROJECT Our Passport Club has a new Environmental service project!
In upcoming months, members will be available to speak with your club about this project. The Passport club members will collect these items and we will use our community contacts to repurpose them. One of our community contacts is London, Ontario - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. As we gain more contacts, we will expand our project. Would your club like to partner with us?
Contact Lynn Coates lynn.coates.1@outlook.com or Sue Storie sastorie.rotary@gmail.com for more information. Collections Update On May 13 we picked up six big bags of milk bags collected by RC of St. Mary’s. We then sorted them and bagged them for delivery to London Ontario Reduce Reuse and Recycle. We had a total of 2087 bags, sorted over 19.5 hours. This brings the Passport club total to 9299 bags. Thank you, Linda, and The Rotary Club of St. Mary’s!

AQUABOX #AQUABOX Celebrates 30 years with a “WALK FOR WATER” CAMPAIGN AQUABOX, the clean water charity, set up by the Rotary Club of Wirksworth in 1992, will be celebrating its 30th birthday in June this year. To help us celebrate, we are encouraging groups to mark the anniversary year by organising a fund-raising Walk for Water in 2022. Anyone can organise a walk: a club, a school, a company, even an individual; and the walk can be as long or as short as you like, as long as it raises funds for the charity. We are suggesting that a river, canal or coastal walk is particularly appropriate but not essential. The charity’s formal 30th birthday is 18 June, but anytime in the Summer would be ideal. Over 30 years, the charity has sent out tens of thousands of filters, helping to save hundreds of thousands of lives, by providing millions of litres of clean water to countries suffering from natural and man-made disasters, in more than 50 countries throughout the world. If you are interested in organising a Walk for Water to support our life-saving work, please contact Kevin Barclay at Aquabox - Email: aquaboxwalksforwater@aquabox.org We have sponsorship forms which could enable us to claim back Gift Aid. #aquabox #cleandrinkingwater #humanitarianaid #Rotary

Hard to believe I once had a phone attached to a wall, and when it rang, I picked it up without knowing who was calling. My mind is like an Internet browser. At least 19 open tabs, 3 of them are frozen, and I have no clue where the music is coming from. As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned that pleasing everyone is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake. I’m responsible for what I say, not what you understand.

INSPIRATION At the 1950 Rotary International Convention in Detroit, Michigan, USA, two slogans were formally approved as the official mottoes of Rotary:
He Profits Most Who Serves Best and
Service Above Self The 1989 Council on Legislation established Service Above Self as the principal motto of Rotary
Service Above Self because it best conveys the philosophy of unselfish volunteer service. In 2004 –
He Profits Most Who Serves Best was modified to
They Profit Most Who Serve Best and in 2010, to its current wording:
One Profits Most Who Serves Best In 1911, the second Rotary convention, in Portland, Oregon, USA, approved He Profits Most Who Serves Best as the Rotary motto. The wording was adapted from a speech that Rotarian Arthur Frederick Sheldon delivered to the first convention, held in Chicago the previous year. Sheldon declared that “only the science of right conduct toward others pays. Business is the science of human services. He profits most who serves his fellows best.”
