RI PRESIDENT - NOVEMBER 2023 MESSAGE The Road to Peace This month, Rotary takes a step toward supporting peacebuilding in the Middle East and North Africa region. In November, Rotary and District 2420 are hosting a signing ceremony for our newest peace center in partnership with Bahçeşehir University in Istanbul. The ceremony is the first in a series of events recognizing the new center at BAU and Rotary’s work to promote peace. The 2024 Rotary International Convention in May will mark 25 years since the first Rotary Peace Centers were announced – coincidentally at the Rotary Convention in Singapore in 1999. Recruitment for the first cohort of Rotary Peace Fellows at BAU also starts in 2024, and selected candidates will begin their program in early 2025. Since its beginning, the peace centers program has prepared more than 1,700 peace fellows working in more than 140 countries to create a more peaceful world. That is certainly worth celebrating, but Rotary Peace Fellows are more than statistics on a page. Their actions have helped Create Hope in the World and will continue to do so. For example, Jennifer Montgomery ad Gorett Komurembe – peace fellows from the program at Makerere University in Uganda – are co-founders of Magenta Girls Initiative. The international nongovernmental organization equips Ugandan girls and young women with the support and tools to overcome harmful gender norms, generational poverty, genderbased violence, trafficking, and trauma. Ndzi Divine Njamsi, another peace fellow who studied at Makerere, has taken lessons learned about Positive Peace and is sharing them with students of his own in Cameroon. He became interested in the Rotary Positive Peace Activator training program after witnessing extremism, online hate speech, and violence in Cameroon. Since completing the program, he has brought his lessons on peace to students at the Yaoundé International Business School and other organizations in the Central Africa country. The world needs more people like the graduates of the program at Makerere and our other peace fellows. To that end, we can all advance peace by encouraging our local peacebuilders to learn more about Rotary and apply for this impactful fellowship. Rotary members can also mentor candidates for the fellowship. Or you can work with peace fellows who have already graduated. They probably have an initiative or two that would benefit from your help. Our peace centers in North America, Europe, Africa, Australia, and Asia depend on financial support as well. The program at BAU was made possible thanks to a generous gift of $15.5 million to The Rotary Foundation from the Otto and Fran Walter Foundation. This new Rotary Peace Center will offer a one-year professional development certificate in peace and development studies for fellows focusing on peacebuilding within the Middle East and North Africa region. Peace must be waged persistently; it is the soil where hope takes root. But as with any journey, we take one step at a time. Let’s take those steps together. R. Gordon R. McInally President, Rotary International

TRF Trustee Chair's Message – November 2023 The Magnitude of Our Impact This month, as we celebrate The Rotary Foundation, let’s recognize it for what it is: one of the world’s best humanitarian organizations. Many charities relief organizations, and nonprofits do the same type of work, and the public associates them with the causes they work on. But I wonder how many people know that Rotary supports those same causes – seven of them in fact – which we call our areas of focus. If they want clean water, good health, and a sustainable future for our planet, they support what our Foundation does. If they envision a world where peace, full literacy, and economic opportunities for communities to support themselves exist, they also believe in Rotary’s mission. And if they want to see mothers and their babies thrive, their vision aligns with the work we do. And we have a lot of work in progress through the Foundation. Polio eradication is changing the world, one drop of vaccine at a time. Rotary Peace Centers are training peacebuilders to reduce violence and resolve conflict. And through Foundation global and district grants, we are improving lives in a real way. The way we work also sets us apart. We have a global reach, with more than 48,000 field offices in the form of Rotary and Rotaract clubs. We emphasize good stewardship of your funds and efficient implementation of your projects. And we always aim for sustainable solutions. During the 2022-23 Rotary year, the Foundation awarded 1,098 global grants. If you think of what a single grant can do, you begin to grasp the scale of our work and the magnitude of our impact – an impact people can see and feel in their daily lives. Our district supported a global grant project that focused on basic education and literacy in Malawi, where we helped train 38 teachers who are responsible for 4,000 students. We also built two toilets and installed a pump, so they had water for drinking and handwashing. I will never forget that when Esther and I visited the school, a young boy pointed to my Rotary pin, recognizing it from other volunteers who wore their pins during the projects. He said, “I know you helped me. I won’t be able to travel to thank the others who helped me, so please thank them for me.” So, thank you, Rotary, on behalf of a child in Malawi whose future you made a little brighter, and on behalf of thousands of others you have helped by supporting The Rotary Foundation. BARRY RASSIN Foundation Trustee Chair

THE ROTARY FOUNDATION
MONTH OF NOVEMBER
The Rotary Foundation, established in 1917, stands as a shining testament to the power of global goodwill and the transformative impact of philanthropy. This remarkable organization, born out of the collective vision of Rotary International, has not only played a pivotal role in addressing some of the world's most pressing challenges, but has also consistently ranked among the best charitable organizations worldwide. Let's delve into its inception, history, and what makes it a beacon of hope and change. Inception and Early History The Rotary Foundation was the brainchild of Arch C. Klumph, the sixth president of Rotary International. Inspired by the idea of "doing good in the world," Klumph proposed the establishment of a foundation that would enable Rotary members to contribute financially to fund projects for the betterment of humanity. His visionary idea was officially adopted at the Rotary Convention in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1917, and thus, the Rotary Foundation was born. Initially funded with a mere $26.50, the Foundation embarked on its mission to promote peace, combat disease, provide clean water, support education, and alleviate poverty. Over the decades, it has grown into a formidable force for positive change, boasting an endowment that has surpassed the billion-dollar mark. A Legacy of Impact The Rotary Foundation's legacy is defined by its unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Here are some key milestones in its history: 1. Polio Eradication: Perhaps the Foundation's most famous initiative is its role in the global effort to eradicate polio. Since 1985, Rotary International, in collaboration with partners like the World Health Organization and UNICEF, has led the charge to eliminate this crippling disease. Through its PolioPlus program, Rotary has contributed millions of dollars and countless volunteer hours to vaccinate children in every corner of the world, bringing us closer than ever to a polio-free world. 2. Clean Water and Sanitation: The Foundation has funded numerous projects aimed at providing clean water and sanitation facilities to underserved communities. These initiatives have improved the health and well-being of countless individuals and communities. 3. Education and Literacy: Supporting education and literacy is another cornerstone of the Rotary Foundation's work. From scholarships for students to promoting adult literacy programs, the Foundation has a profound impact on education worldwide. 4. Economic Development: The Foundation invests in projects that promote economic development, including microloans, vocational training, and small business development. These initiatives empower individuals and communities to lift themselves out of poverty.

Why It's One of the Best Charitable Organizations* Several factors contribute to the Rotary Foundation's standing as one of the best charitable organizations: 1. Longevity and Consistency: With a history spanning more than a century, the Rotary Foundation has demonstrated its unwavering commitment to making the world a better place, consistently delivering on its mission year after year. 2. Global Reach: Rotary International's vast network of clubs and volunteers operates in nearly every country, ensuring that the Foundation's projects have a global reach and a local impact. 3. Efficiency and Transparency: The Foundation prides itself on its prudent financial management, with a significant percentage of funds going directly to projects. Moreover, its transparency and accountability practices earn it the trust of donors and partners alike. 4. Impactful Initiatives: The Rotary Foundation's initiatives, such as the fight against polio and its focus on critical issues like clean water, education, and economic development, address some of the most pressing challenges facing humanity. The Rotary Foundation's inception, history, and remarkable contributions to the betterment of humanity make it a shining example of the power of philanthropy and global goodwill. Its unwavering commitment to Service Above Self, combined with its efficient operations and impactful initiatives, solidify its place among the best charitable organizations in the world. As it continues to work tirelessly toward a brighter future, the Rotary Foundation remains a beacon of hope and change for people in need around the globe.

HOW ROTARY MAKES HELP HAPPEN Creating a culture of care
New Funding, to Protect 370 Million Children from Polio Every Year, Puts World on Verge of Eradicating Polio Once and for All BRUSSELS (October 11, 2023) – Today, the European Commission, the European Investment Bank and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announced a new financing partnership to address critical global health opportunities: eradicating polio and ensuring that innovations in health are more accessible to the people who need them most. The World Health Organization and UNICEF, as implementing partners for the polio funding, will deploy the resources to eradicate polio, support the distribution of other childhood immunizations and strengthen health systems so they are better able to respond to emerging health threats. The expected €1.1 billion financing package aims to provide new funding to eradicate a human disease for only the second time in history and help solve the health and development challenges faced by the world’s most vulnerable people, who otherwise do not get fair access to healthcare services and innovations. President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said: “We are about to wipe polio off the face of the Earth. The European Commission, the EIB and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are partnering to get through the final stretch. With 1 billion euros supported by our European investment strategy Global Gateway, we will invest in stronger health systems globally and local vaccine and medicines production, manufacturing, and administration, where it is most needed. Global cooperation has helped us put an end to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now it will help us get rid of polio once and for all.” The partnership marks a significant increase in funding for global health and human development under the European Commission’s European Fund for Sustainable Development plus (EFSD+) and is expected to include a match of new complementary funding for global health by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, maximising the impact of every Euro committed by the EU and the European Investment Bank. “Today we are united to write the final chapter in the history of polio. The European Investment Bank is playing its part in a unique partnership with philanthropy and health partners, by providing EUR 500 million for investment in support of the Global Polio Eradication Programme. This initiative will be a milestone in scaling up immunization and strengthening healthcare, ensuring that every child, regardless of their circumstances, can be protected against polio,” said Werner Hoyer, President of the European Investment Bank.

FROM THE DISTRICT - COPYRIGHT Imagine this: You're making a social media post for your Rotary Club's upcoming annual fundraiser. You want an eye-catching image for the post, so you do a Google search, download the image you like, and add it to your post. All good, you are ready to go! Wait... what's the problem? Well, that image was copyrighted, meaning you can't use it without the author's permission. And now, you may be dealing with copyright infringement—using works (i.e., photos, videos, music, images, etc.) protected by copyright without permission. "But", you say to yourself upon reading the first paragraph... "we're Rotary! We do good in the world! Surely no one really cares if we use the odd copyrighted image or video here and there... right?" My friends, that's where you'd be wrong. The following is an excerpt from an email sent by Rotary International's Risk Management Department: "Rotary districts continue to post images and other media (cartoons, songs, etc.) online in disregard of copyright laws, resulting in a considerable increase in claims activity under the U.S. Rotary Club & District Liability Insurance Program ("Program"). Over 40% of the Program's open claims now pertain to copyright infringement. Copyright owners hire companies offering software that "trolls" the internet in search of copyright violations involving their images or other media. These companies are commonly referred to as copyright trolls. When a troll finds a violation, they contact the party who mis-used the image or other media and make a demand to settle the violation. Failure to respond to the demand increases the difficulty of resolving the claim." Folks, it is our responsibility—each and every one of us who creates social media posts, flyers, videos—any materials on behalf of our Clubs, Area, District, Rotary Program, or Rotary in general—to comply with copyright laws so D6330 isn't dealing with a copyright infringement of our own. So, what can you do to protect Rotary and ensure compliance with copyright laws? Read on to learn some helpful steps! Step 1: Understand Copyright Infringement Copyright infringement occurs when individuals or organizations use copyrighted materials such as images, videos, songs, and other media without proper authorization from the copyright owner. This unauthorized use can result in legal consequences and financial liabilities. To prevent copyright infringement, it is essential to understand what materials you can and cannot use from the internet. Generally, if an image, video, or audio is not from a royalty/copyright-free website, then it is likely owned by someone, and you would need their permission to use it on your website, on your social media, in your newsletter, etc. If you are unsure, it's best to air on the side of caution, assuming that a certain image, photo, video, etc. likely is protected by copyright.

Step 2: Use Royalty-Free Resources To help you avoid copyright issues, use royalty-free images, videos, and music. These resources are available for use without the need to pay royalties or obtain special permissions. Here are some websites where you can find royalty-free content: Royalty-Free Images and Videos: 1. Unsplash: www.unsplash.com 2. Pexels: www.pexels.com 3. Canva: www.canva.com - Canva offers a wide range of royalty-free images and design elements that you can use in your projects. Royalty-Free Music: 1. Epidemic Sound: www.epidemicsound.com 2. Artlist: www.artlist.io By using content from these websites, you can confidently include them in your Rotary-related projects and publications without worrying about copyright violations. Step 3: Review Your Existing Online Content Examine your Rotary Club's social media accounts, websites, bulletins, newsletters, and other documents for any media content that lacks proper copyright authorization. Remove any such content promptly, even if it is several years old. Step 4: Report Copyright Notices If your Rotary Club receives a notice of copyright infringement, please contact Risk Management immediately at insurance@rotary.org. Depending on the circumstances, the U.S. Rotary Club & District Liability Insurance Program may provide coverage. Step 5: What to Do Going Forward I get it: life is hard enough and busy enough without having one more rule or policy to follow. It's easy to just keep doing what you've been doing and cross your fingers that one of those software 'trolls' doesn't pick up our use of copyrighted images. But we know that wouldn't pass the Four-Way Test, and this is something we have to be aware of. So, I've provided some tips to help keep your Rotary Club, and our District, safe from copyright infringement. 1. Use Member-Created Content: Whenever possible, use media created by members of your Rotary district. Always obtain their permission first before using their work. 2. Leverage the Rotary Brand Center: Explore the Rotary Brand Center for a wealth of Rotary-specific images and media that can be used safely in your projects. All of the images, videos, and assets found on this website are totally fine to use in your publications. https://brandcenter.rotary.org/

3. Obtain Proper Permissions: Never use media from the internet without obtaining explicit permission from the copyright owner. 4. Purchase Media Online: If necessary, consider purchasing images, videos, or music online from reputable sources, such as iStock, Adobe Stock, or other stock image sources. 5. Consult the U.S. Copyright Office: For comprehensive guidance on copyright-related matters, visit the United States Copyright Office's website. Your diligence in adhering to copyright laws protects our Rotary District and your Club, and upholds the ethical standards to which we hold ourselves as Rotarians. If you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you for your commitment to Rotary! Yours in service,

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.

The recently launched Global Plastic Laws database is a good starting point to find out about global plastic legislation. Described on the website as an extensive tool to research, track, and visualize plastic legislation that has been passed around the world. It is a partnership between several organizations. Plastic Pollution Coalition manages the database with support from Break Free From Plastic Europe, Environmental Law Alliance Worldwide, and Surfrider Foundation U.S. It was launched in advance of the third session of UN Global Plastics Treaty talks which take place in November.

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.
Stay tuned for more information in the next weeks.
OUR ANNIVERSARY – NO. 5 FOOD INSECURITY – CUP OF KINDNESS The Rotary Club of D6330 Passport will celebrate its 5th anniversary on December 4, 2023. 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” later in the year. Rotarians, friends, and relatives are encouraged to help members fill the cups in support of this excellent project!

GIVING TUESDAY
Tuesday, November 28, 2023 Giving Tuesday 2023 will be Tuesday, November 28, 2023. The date is always the Tuesday after U.S. Thanksgiving. As at November 1, there are only 28 days left until November 28 – Giving Tuesday! Considered by many as the day that kicks off the giving season, Giving Tuesday directly follows three major shopping days in the U.S. - Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday. Because it usually falls on a day in late November or early December, some nonprofits use the day as an opportunity to launch end-of-year giving campaigns to take advantage of people making their final taxdeductible donations for the year. Nonprofits benefit from the generosity of those wishing to make a positive impact during the holiday season. Giving Tuesday is a day that encourages people to give back in whatever ways they can. It presents nonprofit organizations with the chance to raise even more money than they would on an average day. How will your club help to raise money for The Rotary Foundation on Giving Tuesday? • •
A goal to consider is a total club donation equal to $100 USD per member. You can challenge your members to pledge support for Rotary’s Foundation!
A challenge - Which Rotary Clubs in D6330 will reach their TRF goals or more on Giving Tuesday?
Why should you donate to TRF? The bottom line - Giving Tuesday happens once a year, but your gift of Rotary will make a difference for a lifetime. This Giving Tuesday, consider making a special gift to The Rotary Foundation and together we can continue doing good in the world and we can Create Hope in the World.
