The Magic of Rotary

Spring is Just Around the Corner—Hallelujah!

After weeks of snowy weather that brought up to 14 inches of snow to parts of the state, I am more than ready to welcome SPRING! It’s the season of renewal, and I can’t wait to get back to gardening, enjoy the scent of freshly cut grass, attend outdoor events, and have picnics. The countdown to those fun times has officially begun!

The 2024–2025 Rotary year has been nothing short of adventurous. Visiting all our clubs sometimes more than once has been an absolute delight! I’ve loved attending charter celebrations, festivals, fundraisers, casino nights, first responder recognitions, grant presentations, Paul Harris Fellow recognitions, and so much more If I haven’t yet made a second visit to your club for one of these fantastic events, please send me an invitation I’ll do my best to join!

With just four months left of the Magic of Rotary theme, we’ve accomplished so much together Here a just a handful of them:

Distributed over $120,000 in district grants!

Advanced several global grants!

Launched an exciting March Madness membership competition among clubs, which will conclude with several new Companion or Impact clubs and a guarantee to have a positive net growth in membership-can’t wait to share the results!

Increased the number of Interact clubs, including the formation of our firstever Community-Based Interact Club—congratulations to Innsbrook and their PAL (Police Athletic League) club!

Held a successful RYLA (Rotary Youth Leadership Awards) program with approximately 75 delegates from across the district!

February marked a turning point as we gear up for the next Rotary year. District Governor Elect Pat Edwards and her team are hard at work setting goals and expectations for July Following the completion of Pre-President Elect Training last month, the next big event is the Chesapeake President Elect Training Seminar, happening March 6–8 in Chantilly After that, we’ll hold the District Training Assembly for Officers on April 12 at Virginia Wesleyan University.

So, yes, bring on Spring, and let’s make it as vibrant and beautiful as possible Here’s to the amazing things we’ll continue to achieve together.

“Rediscovering Rotary: A Heartfelt Christmas Journey to Montgomery,

Texas From Neva Lynde

Over the holidays, Ron and I enjoyed another wonderful visit with family and friends in Texas. This year included an unexpected heart-warming Rotary experience that included meaningful moments and serendipitous discoveries that left a lasting impact on us

Our family connections in central Texas have always been strong Knowing this, long-time D7600 Rotarian Jack Hostetter, a former member of the James City County Club and now in The Historic Triangle Club, often encourages us to visit the Rotary Club (RC) of Lake Conroe, where he served as President in 2003-2004.

Though there were no Rotary meetings for us to attend during the holidays, we stumbled upon a hidden gem thanks to my great nephew’s wife. Knowing our Rotary affiliation, she suggested they take us to Rotary Memory Park, just a block from their home This beautiful park is where she often takes her two young boys (a 2-year-old and a 3-month-old) for some fun and relaxation under a majestic oak tree.

Memory Park is the pride of the Lake Conroe Club, brought to life by the collective efforts of the Lake Conroe Club, District 5910, the County of Montgomery, and the City of Montgomery Funded in part by a District Grant, the park was envisioned as a haven of native Texas plantings, walking trails, rest areas, and more. Since its dedication in 2008, it has grown into a cherished community asset, thanks to the ongoing dedication of Rotarians

As we strolled through the park, we were touched to find a brick paver honoring Jack and his wife Phyllis She became a Rotarian in 2007 and then an Honorary Rotarian until she passed in 2020. But the park held another surprise an inspiring presence of Paul Harris On a monument dedicated to another esteemed Lake Conroe Rotarian, Don Carter, as shown in the attached picture, we read the words, “Giant Trees from Little Acorns Grow,” a quote from Paul Harris’ 1933 radio address. It was a beacon of optimism during a truly challenging time in history

This Christmas journey was more than a family visit; it was a beautiful reminder of the profound impact Rotary has on communities and the enduring bonds it creates. Here’s to many more meaningful journeys and discoveries with Rotary

“Good morning -

I'm just returning from a little family vacation, and apologize for not getting back to you sooner. As I understand this situation, Phil Wellman’s daughter, who lives in Colorado, was contacted about the horrific accident and informed Phil had been transported to a the Days Inn in Florence from the site of the accident (which occurred on I-95 in Florence County) along with his two dogs Phil's daughter was also informed that her parents RV had gone up in flames and her mother, Grace, tragically lost her life in the accident.

Phil's daughter and son both live in Colorado, and his daughter desperately wanted someone to be with her father until they could arrive As such, she reached out to her best friend who lives in the DC area Phil's daughter's best friend, Tara Golden, knowing Phil was a Rotarian, Googled for a Florence, SC Rotary contact and came upon the number for David Boulware with the Florence West Rotary. Ms. Golden, who works at the Pentagon, informed David of the situation and, despite the call coming in the middle of the work day, he immediately sprung into action along with fellow Rotarians Samantha Stone (Florence West Rotary) and Jean Leatherman, Debbie Hyler, and Reggie Armstrong (of other local Rotary clubs) to provide Phil with emotional and financial support until the arrival of Ms Golden and/or his children.

During their time with Phil, Phil told them about the things his local Rotary Club, Hampton Roads, did for the community, one of which being the compilation and delivering of care packages to first responders A few days after this incident, David Boulware brought this to the attention of Florence West Rotary and, of course, we have agreed to start a new program called "Sharing Grace" whereby we will collect, compile, and deliver care packages to local first responders in Grace's memory/Phil's honor.

Like you all, we are very thankful for the actions of our local Rotarians and believe they show the true meaning of Rotary

Also, while not all of the information in the report is 100% accurate, I'm enclosing a link to the news story: Honoring Grace Wellman

Rotary Means Business – Bringing Rotarians Together!

On February 4th, the spirit of Rotary fellowship and professional networking was in full swing at the Rotary Means Business event It was an evening to remember, with 50 Rotarians and guests representing seven different Rotary clubs across District 7600 coming together to connect, collaborate, and strengthen the bonds of Rotary

The event provided a fantastic platform for Rotarians to engage with one another, exchange ideas, and explore new ways to support each other's professional and service endeavors Beyond the usual focus on community service, this gathering highlighted another crucial aspect of Rotary the power of relationships and the value of business connections within our network

A special shoutout goes to the dedicated members of the Rotary Club of Innsbrook, whose hard work and commitment played a pivotal role in organizing and ensuring the success of the event. Their efforts truly exemplified the spirit of teamwork and Rotary service.

We were also honored to have District Governor Joy Kline in attendance, whose support and encouragement added to the evening's success. Her presence served as a reminder of the strength and unity within District 7600

Innovative Membership

Events like Rotary Means Business remind us that Rotary is more than just the projects we undertake; it is also about fostering lasting relationships, uplifting one another, and creating opportunities for both professional growth and community impact.

As we look ahead, we are excited for more gatherings that continue to strengthen our Rotary network and empower members to thrive both personally and professionally Together, we are Rotary!

"Building Bridges, Changing Lives:

The Power of Giving with the Rotary Foundation"

As we embrace March, Rotary's Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Month, we're reminded of the profound impact that access to clean water has on communities worldwide Just as the lyrics of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon & Garfunkel promise solace and support, the Rotary Foundation serves as a bridge, delivering hope and health to those in need. It is part of the Rotary Magic.

Consider the story of a small village that once struggled with waterborne diseases due to contaminated sources. Through the Rotary Foundation's initiatives, a new well is constructed, providing clean and safe water. This transformation leads to improved health, increased school attendance, and economic growth. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." By dedicating ourselves to such projects, we not only change lives but also discover our true purpose You will find evidence of that change throughout District 7600

Looking ahead, April 1, 2025, marks Giving Tuesday, a day of generosity for District 7600 The District has separated its Giving Tuesday initiative from the global initiatives that take place annually on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving We like being different and it provides a platform for clubs to focus on their year-end goals. It has been a successful venture for the District for a number of years.

Over the years, Giving Tuesday has grown into a significant day for charitable activities, inspiring hundreds of millions of people worldwide to donate, collaborate, and celebrate generosity In 2024, U S donors contributed an estimated $3.6 billion on GivingTuesday, marking a 16% increase from the previous year. Similarly, District 7600 has used the Giving Tuesday strategy to raise a significant amount for the Rotary Foundation The effort requires an heroic amount of behind the scenes work Most of the planning and execution of the District 7600 Giving Tuesday effort is handled by Ron Lynde, who works tirelessly behind the scenes to make the event successful We all owe a debt of gratitude for his vision and hard work.

In 2024, the Rotary Foundation received over US$1.4 million in donations on Giving Tuesday. It reflects the collective power of our community The District hopes to also set giving records this year Your contribution, no matter the size, can be the drop that creates a ripple effect of positive change Together, we can continue to build bridges over troubled waters for those who need it most

Our District has made significant strides toward our Foundation goals We've funded multiple clean water projects, provided scholarships for young leaders, and supported polio eradication efforts However, there's still work to be done By sharing success stories and engaging in community events, we can inspire others to join our mission and achieve our remaining objectives.

As we transition to new Foundation leadership, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to those who have served with dedication and passion Their efforts have laid a strong foundation for continued success To the incoming team, we offer our full support and enthusiasm.

Let's unite in our commitment to service, ensuring that the Rotary Foundation's legacy of "Doing Good in the World" not only continues but flourishes. We all know there is more work to be done.

Rich Salon, Innovative Club Advocate

Adding a Satellite club offers a huge advantage to provide even more community service. Why does your club want to add a Satellite?

Barriers to Rotary club membership exist, primarily due to a lack of financial resources and/or time availability. The Satellite concept accommodates quality individuals who cannot join a traditional Rotary club, and the best way to generate more service is to add more club members. (By the way, if you have heard the terms “Companion Club” or “Impact Club” within our district, these are other names falling under the category we call “Innovative Clubs”)

The District currently has approximately 12 clubs forming a Satellite But we can accommodate 50 today! Please enjoy this short video (click on image below) and contact me for more information about Satellite/Companion/Impact clubs

Rich Salon aka Rich-The-HR-Guy

I want to take this time to update you on the status of our March Madness Tournament, where our goal is to charter ten “Innovative Clubs,” comprised of Satellite, Companion, and Impact club types As of today, we have twelve different Rotary clubs moving to charter an Innovative Club, with a reported forty-six new club members currently onboard or in process (Yup, I think we might set a Rotary International record if we can charter each of these in March).

What does this mean? More community service to people who need our help. Our formula is remarkably simple, more hands will provide more service. A big thanks goes out to our Club Presidents and their club’s members, our District Governor line members, Lt. Governors, Area Governors, and District Membership Committee members.

Thank you for all you do, and if your club wants to add an Innovative Club, please contact me

Autism Prevalence Increased 317% Since 2000!

That shocking statistic grabbed the attention of Rotary Club of Hanover members at a recent presentation by Jon Greene of the Autism Society of Central Virginia (ASCV) ASCV has been around since 1978 , started by a group of parents who came together to build a community of support .

The ASCV mission is to support, empower and build connections to improve the lives of all in their local autism community ASCV has grown to become a premier source of education, advocacy services and support for individuals with autism families and friends and professionals

ASCV has 470 total programs serving over 10,000 people in central Virginia. These range from social and recreational programs , support groups to community training and four major fundraising events each year! With education the ASCV vision of an inclusive community with high-quality services and support accessible to all can be a reality!

The year 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the Rotary Youth Exchange program as one of Rotary International’s official youth programs Although the program started well before 1975, Rotary members, program volunteers, and alumni everywhere should be proud to celebrate the last fifty years as the program has grown and become a prime example of Rotary service worldwide for so many Rotary Youth Exchange would not be possible without the essential work that volunteers Rotary members or nonmembers alike contribute year after year.

But how many volunteers does it take to run Rotary Youth Exchange? What kind of volunteers are necessary to ensure students complete thousands of exchanges every year safely and successfully? Let’s address both of those questions and showcase the scale of the massive volunteer effort that tens of thousands of adults contribute to Rotary Youth Exchange every year

The following statistics represent the total data district program leaders have provided to Rotary International since 2018 No data was collected during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused an international hiatus for the 2020-21 and 2021-22 Rotary years.

The Rotary Club of Innsbrook proudly sponsored 12 deserving students to attend the 2025 Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA).

This leadership development experience, held over Presidents' Day Weekend on February 15 and 16, took place at the 4H Airfield Conference Center in Wakefield, Virginia. Our young leaders, alongside over 70 students from across Virginia and peers from across Rotary District 7600, participated in an intensive and transformative weekend focused on leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills

RYLA is designed to empower students in grades 9-12 to unlock their potential and become dynamic leaders within their schools and communities Participants had the opportunity to:

• Build communication and problem-solving skills

• Discover strategies for effective leadership

• Learn from community leaders, inspirational speakers, and peer mentors

• Turn motivation into action • Form lasting friendships

Supporting youth development is a key area of focus for the Rotary Club of Innsbrook this year, and investing in programs like RYLA helps shape future leaders who will make a difference in their communities

We are thrilled to see our young leaders return inspired and ready to lead!

A huge thank you to Katina Moss, Chair for RYLA, the RYLA team, the Group Leaders, and the Rotary District 7600 leadership team for driving this important effort to build the next set of leaders!

Building Resilient Futures: Rotary, Interact, and District 7600 Unite for Youth Mental Health

The Rotary Club of Innsbrook, the Interact Club of Glen Allen High School, and the Rotary District 7600 Mental Health Task Force have recently collaborated to educate school children on the significance of mental health and resilience

This joint initiative is designed to provide students with essential resilience skills, enabling them to better cope with life’s challenges and contribute to healthier communities The program was highlighted by a special address from Dr. Susanna Calvert, Chair of the Mental Health Task Force, who inspired students with her expertise and commitment to fostering youth resilience

The District 7600 Mental Health Task Force is spearheading a pioneering youth resilience and peer facilitation program across the region This initiative involves training high school students, aged 14 to 18, along with their caregivers where possible, through 10 weekly 90-minute virtual sessions. Following their training, the youth and adult participants co-facilitate five weekly resilience skill sessions for small groups of other students. This approach empowers young individuals to develop coping mechanisms and foster peer support networks.

The program is made possible through a generous grant from Sentara, in partnership with the Foundation for Family and Community Healing (FFCH)

Rotarians and members of the community are encouraged to support this effort by referring potential youth and adult facilitators or contributing financially to ensure the program’s continued success. Those interested in participating or supporting the initiative can contact Dr. Susanna Calvert at Susanna@HealingEdu.org.

By working together, the Rotary Club of Innsbrook, the Interact Club of Glen Allen High School, and District 7600 are cultivating resilient youth and strengthening community well-being.

Patrick Henry Family YMCA and the Ashland VA Rotary Club announce the ground clearing for the new open-air camp amphitheater at the Patrick Henry Family YMCA

The existing amphitheater at the Patrick Henry Family YMCA in Ashland Virginia was built 20+ years ago The camp serves as an outdoor gathering place for YMCA camp participants every year In 2024, 200 individuals per week (2000) were served The campers range in age from 5 to 14 years old

Over the years, the adjacent wetlands have encroached upon the area of the camp amphitheater to the point where it is unusable after significant periods of rain The proposed project involves building a new amphitheater on the other side of the YMCA on land with higher elevation The amphitheater will include a 16' x 16' stage and 18 benches.

A grant from Rotary International District 7600 and the Ashland VA Rotary Club will be used to purchase material for the amphitheater construction and landscaping. Substantial funds to complete the project will be supplied by the Patrick Henry Family YMCA.

Four Clubs (Brandermill, Bon Air, Midlothian, and South Richmond) collaborated on a District Grant (Brandermill did the heavy lifting) and donated $22,000 to the Chesterfield Food Bank Outreach Center to purchase a van that will be used to deliver meals to residents across Chesterfield County.

As of the date of the dedication ceremony, the van had delivered over 4,000 meals to those in need, and additional funds had also allowed the food bank to serve 12 schools (up from the intended 4) with their stock the pantry program AND stock those pantries with months worth of supplies

This is an example of how Rotarians, through collaboration with other local clubs, can make an even greater impact in the community.

Members from the four clubs (and current District Governor Joy Kline) were on hand on a chilly Saturday morning for the dedication and food distribution that followed.

The Rotary Club of Innsbrook and the Rotary Club of Western Henrico, with generous support from a Rotary District 7600 grant, are excited to announce the creation of an Early Learning Trail at Short Pump Park in Henrico, Virginia This impactful project, in partnership with Henrico County Parks & Recreation and the United Way of Greater Richmond and Petersburg, will provide a unique, interactive learning experience for preschoolers and their families while promoting school readiness and community engagement

The Magic of International

Your Club’s International Service Chair (Your local lead for Rotary overseas)

One of your club’s most impactful, yet often underappreciated leadership roles is the Club International Service Chair (ISC) Whether you’re new to Rotary and interested in what Rotary offers overseas – or you’re the club president exploring new ideas for member engagement – seek out your ISC for insights and help

ISC – your overseas connector

Imagine the world beyond your club’s local area There’s adventure, culture, travel, and fellowship. And there’s a tremendous need for help and service overseas.

Rotary - beyond your club’s local area

Your ISC connects your club and your individual members with Rotary globally. Your ISC has the resources and connections to connect you with the benefits of being part of Rotary International. And your ISC can magnify your club’s impact on

Is the ISC an official club position recognized by Rotary International?

Yes! According to Rotary International, the overall objective of an internationl service committee is to "promote greater awareness, direct lines of communication, and accountability for all types of international service. The ISC can be on the same level as Membership, Foundation, and Public Outreach club committee – or a club may prefer the ISC as a subcommittee under the club’s Service Projects committee

Some of the responsibilities of the Club International Service Committee include: Increasing awareness of, and participation in, the various international service opportunities that are available to every club, including: investment in and partnership with existing and upcoming international projects and grants speakers and programs in international service projects done by or with clubs in other countries, districts, or areas related international connections such as youth exchange, friendship exchange, RI International Conventions, volunteer service opportunities, Rotary Peace Centers, Polio Plus, and international scholars

Coordinate and share information and activities of your club's involvement in international service with District 7600 International Service Chair (Al Mink)

Provide assistance to or partner with clubs in Rotary Grants implementation (either directly or by making connections) and other related Rotary Foundation issues as applicable.

Participate and contribute to existing opportunities for international service collaborations such as those identified by the District International Service Chair

What if my club doesn’t have an ISC?

My home club is The Rotary Club or Fluvanna County.We’re on the western edge of District 7600, which is a fairly rural area We haven’t had an ISC, so last fall we discussed all the ways an ISC would help our club (see above)

One of our newer members, Ragh Singh, traveled and had a passion for things international. He asked to become the club ISC He has the support of our club president and all our members. Next month he’s leading our club meeting about our engagement overseas.Wow

For next year’s club presidents – Feature your ISC President Elects – looking for a simple, yet effective way to engage your club next year? Set a goal to engage your ISC Reserve a meeting early in your term to focus on all things overseas.Have your ISC invite an overseas Rotarian to present to your club Explore involvement in another D7600 club’s global grant (See the circle graphic for other ideas)

Oh, if you don’t yet have ISC, make your goal to fill and leverage this important club leadership role. See me or other D7600 members at C-PETS in Reston this month for more on this idea

For our next “Magic of International” article of 2025, we’ll talk about the many Rotary Fellowships that bring Rotarians together around a common interest or purpose

If you’re in a Rotary Fellowship and would like me to share your story in next month’s newsletter, send me a note. You can reach me by email: almink@systemsspirit.com Oh yes, you can also connect with me by WhatsApp, Line, and texting, You’ll find me at “+1 571 212 4778” See you next month at this same place in our D7600 newsletter

Announcement:

The Rotary Foundation is accepting Rotary Peace Fellowship applications online beginning February 1st through May 15 for the 2026 class

rsity: Advancing Peace Building Efforts

Tibeb Abate Asfaw is a recent recipient of the Rotary Peace Center Fellow She is sponsored by Rotary District 7600 and endorsed by the Rotary Club of Richmond for the 2024-25 academic years at the Duke University/University of North Carolina University, Chapel Hill campuses This joint university program offers a unique curriculum that provides field-based learning activities that examine peace and conflict theory through various frameworks. Peace fellows are funded annually by the Rotary International Foundation.

The following is an update from Tibeb to Mike Little, District 7600 Foundation Peace Fellow Chair:

It has been seven months since I arrived in the United States and joined the Rotary Peace Fellow program at Duke University having successfully completed the fall semester of studies there. One particularly inspiring course I took was on Peace and Conflict Resolution This experience prompted me to begin to develop a framework with faculty for my summer research and internship That framework will integrate peace building activities into humanitarian efforts in countries such as Africa.

I am deeply grateful for the support provided by the Duke/UNC Rotary Peace Center to its students The Center has offered invaluable guidance through training on leadership, systems thinking, and Rotary Cornerstones, while also creating platforms for students to connect with prominent experts from various organizations, including the World Bank, UN, and international NGOs These resources have been instrumental in helping fellow students gain a clearer understanding and solid foundation in these critical areas, while also opening doors to internship opportunities and career advancement within these organizations Special heartfelt appreciation goes to Susan Carroll (Managing Director of the Duke/UNC Rotary Peace Center), Thomas Laster (Program Coordinator), and Dr Michael Little and Rotary District 7600 leaders for their ongoing support, guidance, and encouragement. Tibeb Abate Asfaw.
