Governor's Message

Can you recall a moment when your heart was filled with such joy that you said to yourself, “This is why I am a Rotarian”? On our recent service trip to Santiago, in the Dominican Republic, our days were filled with so many of these transformative experiences we call “Rotary moments.” There was one moment, in particular, when the air itself oscillated in harmony with the joyful sounds of children playing, when one glance could capture hundreds of children erupting with thunderous excitement, and when I had to work hard to hold back tears of joy. It was at that moment, when we dedicated the playground for the children of the Otra Banda community, that my life was being transformed by this highly memorable experience.

Service to others creates opportunities for us to build lasting relationships and experience those moments that transform our lives in ways we don’t anticipate. Four years ago, PDG Rick Carnagua began this collaboration between our District and the Rotarians in District 4060, to build latrines and improve sanitation for families in some of the communities surrounding Santiago. Over these past few years, so many friendships have been forged, in service, between the Rotarians of the Santiago Monumental Rotary Club and the Rotarians in our District. This year, the local Rotarians hosted our entire team in their homes and Ann-Louise and I were overcome by their hospitality and generosity of spirit.

As we constructed and installed these latrines, stronger friendships and better relationships were built with Rotarians across our District. Ann-Louise and I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the District 7710 team, with Pat Bridgers, Charles Marcom, Martin Tetreault, Willie Smith, Rex and Carol Everhart, Ron and Candy Blackley, Betsy and Linwood Byrd, Jim and Linda Sproat, 15 year old Grace Allison, Richard and Donna Daughtry, Rick Carnagua, Byron Johnson, Zak Lokken, George Harry, Ryan Kane, Josh Davis, Cody Williams, Mike Stojic, Mike McLean, and Linsi Robinson.

We will forever remember these transformative experiences that activate our passion to do good in our communities and around the world. Led by Rotarians from the Central Johnston County Rotary Club, this year our team built latrines, improved homes, provided vocational training and installed a community playground for the children. We also planted 200 mahogany trees as part of Plan Sierra, a watershed development project in the Dominican Republic, a reforestation plan that will ensure the future water supply for the region.

The Dominican Republic Project is but one of many projects in which the clubs in our District are involved that improve access to clean water and provide better sanitation. I am proud to be a Rotarian alongside each one of you and am thankful for your passion to do good in the world. It is what we do … join leaders, exchange ideas and take actions that bring peace through service. In serving others, we are a Gift to the World!

Rotarian Wins Media Awards

Recently, the North Carolina Press Association presented their annual awards for outstanding media coverage. Johnny Whitfield, Past President of the Wendell club and Managing Editor of the Eastern Wake News, won two of these awards.

He won second place for Best Video and Editorials

Computers for Kids of Costa Rica By Mike Fields

Costa Rica has a computer program for Junior High and High School, but nothing for grades Kindergarten through 6. This project installed 110 laptop computers and 30 XO tablets computers (designed for kindergarten students) in nine elementary schools near Puntarenas and Alajuela, Costa Rica.

Over 1500 children and adults who attend these nine schools now have access to durable and reliable computers. Adult night computer literacy classes have been started at a number of these schools.

The following organizations cooperated and assisted with this project:

East Chapel Hill Rotary Club the lead club had over 40 Rotarians involved and donated funds;

Sunrise Rotary Club donated funds;

Downtown Chapel Hill Rotary Club donated funds;

Alajuela Rotary Club and Puntarenas Rotary Club of Costa Rica provided logistics, located schools, clearance with school boards, transportation, custom clearance requiring the assistance of the President of Costa Rica;

Goodwill Foundation donated funds; and the

Kramden Institute, a non-profit computer organization whose goal is to provide home computers for students in need, volunteered time, training, expertise and funds.

Students from the University of Costa Rica assisted in the delivery and set up of the computers and helped with the refurbishing of classrooms for computer labs. The university students formed a Rotaract Club, which will continue to maintain the computers and assist in training of school staff. Through the local Rotary Clubs, funds for transportation for the university students (Rotaract) are provided.

Total cost of this project was $21,547; $4000 from the District Rotary Grant, $7,547 from the five Rotary Clubs, $10,000 from the Goodwill Foundation.

The computers obtained from Kramden are durable and reliable units, IBM and LENOVO, which they had cleaned and loaded with Spanish software. They also provided training for the UCR students.

The technical director of Kramden Institute is now joining the East Chapel Hill Rotary Club.

50th Anniversary of the Rotary Cottage at the Boys and Girls Home of North Carolina By Hensley Scott

What a great celebration!

Rev. George M. Webb, a Boys and Girls Home alumni, gave the message Church Service held in the Rogers Memorial Chapel. George’s message to the kids at the home was to "Enjoy the structure, love and hope that they are receiving now at the Boys and Girls Home." Following the service, a bountiful meal was served in the fellowship hall.

Gary Faircloth, an alumni and current CEO and President of Boys and Girls Home of North Carolina shared some history and memories of the Rotary Cottage over the last 50 years. He also shared how generous Rotary has been over the past 50 years by contributing over $1.5 million to the home.

Representatives from Rotary districts 7710 and 7730 donated more than $18,000 following Gary’s presentation. The attendees then visited the boys in the Rotary Cottage. Thanks Rotarians for helping give boys and girls a second chance in life!

MLK Day of Service

January 18 was Martin Luther King Day of Service. Rotarians from 14 clubs, plus volunteers from the United Way of the Triangle, Duke University, Durham Tech Community College, and the general public gathered at the Research Triangle to pack food for the needy in our community.

Over 500 volunteers packed 113,000 meals to be distributed by the Interfaith Food Shuttle to families in the Triangle.

Thank you to Andrew Kerr and Joyce McKinney for organizing this event.

Dominican Republic Global Grant Project By Pat Bridgers

On February 20, 2016, Rotarians from District 7710 flew to Santiago, Dominican Republic, to continue work that began four years ago with the Monumental Rotary Club. This year, we built 20 latrines and constructed a playground for the children. The construction on the market is expected to begin shortly. Overall, we have built over 200 latrines, a playground, repaired and painted homes, visited their schools and provided supplies for families. This year we had a group of 27, but overall we have sent 65 different Rotarians from District 7710, and our friends in the DR have become like family.

Cell Phones used in the Rotary Effort to Eradicate Polio

Jim Perricone from the Clayton Rotary club passed on an article from National Geographic on how the use of older technology cell phones are being used by health workers in Pakistan to record immunizations.

The work of Rotary in conjunction with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation are significantly recognized in the article. National Geographic Article

Polio and Pakistan By Shafi Parekh

Polio was supposed to have been eradicated by 2005. Why do we still have polio in Pakistan (and Afghanistan)?

Pakistan is a combination of villages. You do have urban areas, but even the urban areas are a collection of communities with their own sub-cultures. The city I came from is a sprawling metropolis of 20 million today, yet it was a fishing village of 25,000 as late as 1947.

Literacy rate in Karachi is 80% and in the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan it is 18%. Unfortunately, the female literacy rate of 4.5%. Which is due to the Taliban, which does not hesitate to bomb a women’s school or throw acid on a woman’s face if she goes to school. Organization s are doing their best to provide rehabilitation with jobs and counseling, but it is a losing battle.

Polio vaccination is shunned as a Western conspiracy to sterilize girls to slow down the spread of Islam. The Taliban are responsible for spreading this propaganda.

Rotary will continue National Immunization Days and eventually we will prevail and hopefully get to zero cases of polio. When we get to zero cases we need to go three years with no more cases before the world can be considered polio free. Unfortunately, the on-going unrest in the area and low literacy rates mean polio can come back.

So what is the solution and how do we sustain the advances?

Rotary needs to continue the National Immunization Days, but there is a need to improve literacy, specially targeting females. The Rotary Pakistan Literacy Mission has set a goal of 100% literacy for Pakistan. It can be done. In Sri Lanka, which also had the Taliban, the efforts to obtain a 100% literacy rate were achieved and it became a Polio free country. Learn more about this project at their Facebook Page.

West Raleigh club is proposing that District 7710 and 3271 (Southern Pakistan) pilot a Global Grant to improve dilapidated bathrooms in 15 schools that were inherited by District 3271.

Why bathrooms? Because parents will not send their girls to schools that have bathrooms with gaping holes for windows and doors and lack sanitation and potable water. Look for updates on this project.

Polio Update By Joseph Reardon

2016 is off to a fantastic start in polio control. Pakistan is now the only country in the world with active cases and active water samples. Thus far, there have been 5 cases of polio reported in Pakistan. April will be a special month in polio eradication, as we switch globally from the trivalent (types 1, 2, and 3) vaccine to bivalent (types 1 and 3) vaccine. This change will eliminate our previous challenges of type 2 vaccine occasionally mutating back into live virus and causing disease. It also marks our confidence that we have eradicated poliovirus type 2 globally. Only poliovirus type 1 remains circulating in the wild.

Polio vaccination is Rotary’s greatest success story! If you haven’t covered this topic in your club recently, email the PolioPlus Chair at [email protected] to have a member of the District PolioPlus committee come present!

Coming Soon – PolioPlus Society

The PolioPlus Society will be launching in District 7710 in coming months. The PolioPlus Society recognizes those Rotarians who exemplify their commitment to Rotary and polio eradication by pledging $100 per year to the PolioPlus fund until we have achieved global eradication of polio. Members will wear the distinctive PolioPlus Society pins. Stay tuned to the District Newsletter for more information on how to sign up!

Spring Rolls

Shafi Parekh 108 Rodessa Run Raleigh NC 27607

Interact Club – Millbrook High School By Elise Lutz

What is it about a baseball field that attracts our club? The smell, the fans cheering, the children laughing, or the turf that stains our clothes? These factors all drive Millbrook High School’s Interact club to get their hands dirty to support the organizations we are most passionate about. The Miracle League of the Triangle has been the place that brings joy and love to each and every one of our members. We have spent hours mentoring and supporting children with special needs by playing baseball with them. Our Interact members truly understand how they have impacted the lives of the children at Miracle League. One member, Matt Mills, said, “The best part of Miracle League is seeing the joy in their faces when surrounded by people that want to have fun with them.” Many agree with that statement.

The first time I stepped on that baseball field, I immediately felt the vibrant liveliness of the children, who were excited to pick a volunteer “buddy.” The parents eagerly watched behind the fence and the music energized us. Even in the rain, we loved being out there, supporting the program and its children. Though Interact has spent the most time with Miracle League, Millbrook does not limit its helpers just to one place. We have also contributed in serving the homeless in downtown Raleigh and helped spread the word for pet adoptions throughout the Triangle.

Rotary Gets out the Mayor's Message

Rotary in general, and specifically the Raleigh club, got a lot of positive profile by sponsoring Mayor Nancy McFarlane's "State of the City" address. Due to recent events in Raleigh, the event was extremely well covered in the media and the Rotary symbol was very prominent.

You can view the Mayor's address by visiting http://www.wral.com/news/video/15491866/

The Wake Forest Rotary sponsors a State of the Town Address and also receives a lot of profile. Their program is held in the evening and includes a dinner with a lot of extra touches to make it a special evening. The Wake Forest Rotary a number of years ago invited the Mayor to attend a regular meeting to provide the members with an update on the town. From there the event grew to be the special evening that it has become. An interesting twist to the event is that now the Town plans the entire event, covers all the cost and Rotary gets all the credit. http://wakeforestnc.gov/2016-state-of-the-town-1.aspx
