District Governor Having just returned from RYLA at Camp Oak Hill, one can’t help but be inspired by the positive impact this experience has on the lives of the 105 high school juniors and 12 senior peer counselors who participated. This life changing experience is possible because of the 37 clubs that sponsored these youth, and the Rotarians who gave so generously of their time and talents to provide a transformative experience for these young leaders. In just a few days, we will gather together in Wilmington to celebrate the Rotary year and all that our clubs have accomplished. It is not quite the end of the year, but we have much to celebrate. This year truly has been the “Year of the Club.” Our clubs are more vibrant than ever and engaged in doing good in our communities and around the world.

We have seen excellent gains in membership. Clubs that once struggled with membership now are thriving with significant increases in membership. One club doubled its membership this year and 67 percent of clubs have shown net increases since July 1, 2015. We are seeing positive increases in the number of female members and Rotarians under the age of 40. As it stands today, our District has the highest membership growth in our Zone. Let’s keep the fire burning and continue to share Rotary with others, so that they may have the opportunity to join us in service.

Giving to the Foundation has been very strong. We are very close to achieving our funding goal for supporting Polio Plus and, each month, you have consistently given more to the Annual Fund than we have given at any time in the past. When half of these funds are returned to us in three years, we will be able to leverage them to change lives in our community and globally. We are on track to achieve our goal of $500,000 to the Annual Fund, and your generosity will help us achieve one of the highest years of giving to The Rotary Foundation.

In service, you took seriously my challenge to serve as instruments of peace. In all that you have done to change lives, you have inspired me and brought smiles to so many faces around the world. We will see images of how you engaged Rotary and changed lives as some of you share the stories of your service at District Conference.

Each year, the Rotary International President recognizes the best clubs in the world by awarding them the Presidential Citation. The criteria set by RI President Ravi Ravindran made it quite a challenge this year. In many areas, success was possible only by collaborating with other clubs. Sixty percent of our clubs achieved the Presidential Citation and that is truly a testament to the passion and vibrancy of the clubs in our District.

April 2016

I look forward to seeing you in Wilmington, relaxing by the river with drinks and dancing, fascinating walking tours, shopping and dining at local family-owned restaurants. This will be a great opportunity for you to interact with friends old and new as we reflect and celebrate the Rotary year, and look forward to the future.

Thank you for being a Gift to the World!

Upcoming Events

Spring District Meeting- May 14, 2016 By Carol Allen

If you are a Rotarian who wants to learn more about Rotary and help your club grow, the May district meeting is for you. There’s a misconception among the Rotarians in our district that a district meeting is only for Rotarians who are in club leadership. I’m here to put that misconception to rest!

Yes, the May 14 district meeting does have a training session for incoming treasurers and secretaries, but it will also have a session on recruiting and retaining new members to Rotary. Recruiting new members to your club and retaining them as good, active members is the responsibility of each one of us. In the membership session at this meeting we will learn about a new and different Rotary club, how to retain those members through an effective mentoring program in use by one of our clubs, and a Young Leaders Group that just may help you get those elusive “younger” members into Rotary.

In addition, learn about the programs you can be a part of in the 2016-17 Rotary year: District Conference, Take a Kid to the Ballgame, Global Scholars (a new opportunity in our district) and much more.

May 14, 2016 Greenwood Forest Baptist Church, 110 SE Maynard Rd., Cary

Beginning at 8:30 with registration, coffee and light refreshments and adjourning at noon, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the day

Global Scholarship

Class 15 Rotary Peace Fellows Arriving Summer 2016- Rotarian Host Counselors Needed By Bart Cleary

We are looking forward to the arrival of Class 15 Rotary Peace Fellows at the Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center. Many thanks to the Rotarians and their families who have volunteered to host Peace Fellows, both currently and in the past. We are now seeking Rotarian Host Counselors for the incoming Class 15. As it is an honor to be a Rotarian Host Counselor, several Rotarians have already volunteered for the incoming class. The lives of past host families have been enriched through their activities with the Peace Fellows. To learn more about the responsibilities, please download the Host Counselor Handbook under the Resources tab on the District website or at http://rotarypeacecenternc.org (search Host Counselor Handbook). If you are interested in becoming a Host Counselor, contact Bart Cleary at bart@oxforddds.com or call 919-693-6171 the Peace Center Host Area Coordinator.

Young Professionals Summit

On June 10-11, we will be having a summit for young Rotarians and Rotaractors.

twenty nine districts represented by up to three young professionals and a senior

district leader. Encourage the (YPs) in your districts to apply online, and please

hurry as time is running out for registration. A video is to accompany the online

registration, and that video will be used to select the three YP representatives

from any given district, in the event there are more than three submissions. For

details, visit: www.southlandyps.org

Each district will also be represented by a District Leader. If you have any

questions, please contact Ryan Clements, Chair of the Summit, at ryan.clements@acicms.com

April in Polio Eradication: New Vaccine, New Hope on the Horizon By Joseph M Reardon

April is a critical month for polio eradication. The trivalent (three strain) polio vaccine that has been in use for decades is now being replaced in 150 countries by a bivalent (two strain) vaccine, targeting Type 1 and Type 3 polio.

Why the switch? Polio has always had 3 strains that can cause disease, and early vaccine efforts were complicated by the need to target all three strains. Type 2 has not been seen since the late 1990s. However, in rare cases (less than 1 in a million doses), the Type 2 vaccine in particular could revert to wild type poliovirus and cause a vaccine-derived disease. As of the end of April 2016, we can say goodbye to vaccine-derived poliovirus.

In the field, we are making so much progress on polio eradication. But funding in 2016 has been lacking. District 7710 is in a unique position because our District supports both PolioPlus and our hemisphere’s only Rotary Peace Center, which has also been involved in polio efforts. Rotarians in District 7710 are asked to make a special commitment to polio eradication, and we are confident that we can deliver! Remember, you can donate on Rotary.org and be eligible for Paul Harris points.

Has your club had a speaker on polio yet this year? If you’d like presentation materials or a speaker to come to your club, email the District Chair at Joseph.Reardon@alumni.duke.edu .

From January through early April 2016, there have

been nine cases of polio worldwide, all in Pakistan

District Activities

A Peace Fellow in Australia By Leanne Simon

It is Autumn in Brisbane, and we have just returned from mid-semester break. I was recently given a friendly chiding on my use of the term “Fall.” It’s just not done here. You see, the native trees don’t shed their leaves. Rather, in the early-Summer (November-ish), they lose their bark. It sloughs off and leaves great curlicue bunches at the base of the trunks. This is just one example of the myriad “little ways” that life here is different.

From colorful wildlife to strange turns of phrase, we are having to re-learn how things operate in our daily lives. And here’s the rub- I’ve worked in cultures very different than my own before, faced linguistic and social barriers- but in those places, it was very apparent that I was the “other.” Here, everything is just similar enough that it seems the same. We share a common language, dress similarly, and have the same understandings of time, space and place of self in society. Yet- we find ourselves still relying on our host counsellor, Merv, to be our cultural liaison. We laugh together over the silly things that create great confusion and (sometimes) frustration.

And here I must talk about the importance of host counsellors. I cannot stress enough how instrumental Merv has been in making us feel welcome and secure here. Even before we landed, he had gathered some furniture and housewares for us, and shared many an email and Skype session. When we landed, it felt like coming home to the arms of a family member.

Fresh off the plane, he took us to see kangaroos in the wild- which cemented the fact that we had arrived! He has taken us to visit the coast, the mountains, and “the bush,” given great hugs when we are homesick, and offered wisdom when we are ignorant. I cannot laud his efforts enough.

On campus here at the Rotary Peace Centre in Queensland, it is a busy week as we prepare for the Annual Peace Fellow Seminar this Saturday. My cohort is assisting Class XIII with logistics as they prepare to share their experiences on Applied Field Experience (AFE). They’ve been to Myannmar, India, Afghanistan, and Lebanon, among others- their various research and field work rich with meaning and impact. They are nearing the end of their tenure, and it will be a bittersweet goodbye in July to our first friends and mentors here.

We have this, our first and their final, semester together to come together in classes and social gatherings. I have learned so much from them, and the professors here, during our brief time together and am eager to see what the

rest of this term will bring. No doubt it will be startling, eye-opening and challenging in unexpected ways. That’s what we came here for, after all!

GlobalRun4Water Funds Peru Project

The GlobalRun4Water Committee allocates the money raised at the event to support water projects. This year part of the money went to support a global grant to provide a solar-powered water treatment system, hygiene education and management training for the community of Loma Negra, in Peru. This system will empower the community to manage the system as a public utility which will generate income for future operation and maintenance, in addition to powering 50 flush latrines. The project cost $47,894 and was submitted by the Rotary clubs of Piura Oeste and Cary-Kildare.

The community of Loma Negra is not unlike the millions of communities across the world that lack access to safe water. The regional government lacks resources to tackle these problems and promote development which leaves the community with underdeveloped infrastructure. Children are constantly sick and missing school. Parents are trapped, desiring more for their families. Progress is stunted. Without help, there is little hope for this forgotten community.

Contaminated water is a primary factor perpetuating the continuous poverty cycle plaguing this community. Currently, diarrheal illness, cholera, and malaria are prevalent in Loma Negra and members of the community know that their existing hand-dug well is contaminated.

Their average household income is $175 USD per month and there is electricity available in the community. The community and local municipality have agreed to partner to provide the treatment system enclosure and help promote health and hygiene education. The community also understands that safe water fees will be collected for sustainable operation of the water treatment system.

CART

Each week, when you drop a few coins in the blue buckets, your contributions help support Alzheimer's disease research, so that maybe one day we will find a cure. One hundred percent (100%) of donated funds go to cutting edge research, and because of your generosity the CART Fund was able to support $500,000 in research grants last year, and over $5.2 million since it was organized by a Rotary club in Sumter, South Carolina. Click here to view Remembering No More: A Story of Change - Carl White's Life in the Carolinas Alzheimer's Special featuring CART.

On May 3, 2016, the funds raised for CART over the past year will be awarded to scientists who are leading the way to a cure. To maximize our support of CART, remember to take the loose change you have collected at home or in your car’s cup holder and drop it in the blue CART buckets at your club meeting over the next two weeks.

Thank you for your support of Coins for Alzheimer’s Research Trust and the collective impact we are having, to help find a cure.

Clayton Clubs build Tables and Benches for Community By Darrella Cavenaugh

During the month of February, the Clayton Rotary Club and the Clayton Mid-Day Club worked side by side to complete picnic tables and benches for the Clayton Community Parks. The combined workforce of men and women built six picnic tables (one table was handicap accessible) and six benches. The work was completed over three Saturdays and involved over 90 work hours. These tables and benches were distributed to several area Clayton Community Parks. The picnic tables and benches will adorn the Rotary wheel and the club names so that those who enjoy them will know that Rotarians built them.

This project was funded in part by a matching District Grant of District Designated Funds.

Learn to Use Social Media to Your Club’s Advantage

Australian Rotary member Evan Burrell explains why social media is a must for every club. Noting that more and more Baby Boomers are using Facebook, Burrell explains why he is convinced anyone can overcome an initial fear of social media and use it to their club’s advantage to attract new members.

North Raleigh Rotary wins with second Casino Night By Linda Brooks

Flush from the success of its second annual Casino Night fund-raiser, the Rotary Club of North Raleigh bet it would top last year’s attendance and it won that wager handily.

“Judging by increased attendance, the abundance of smiling faces and positive feedback, it’s apparent a great time was had by all,” said Casino Night chairman Scott Tarkenton, who will be the next club president.

“I look forward to becoming president of the Rotary Club of North Raleigh and hosting my club’s 3rd Annual Casino Night in April 2017,” Tarkenton said.

Held on April 9 at the North Carolina State University Club, this year’s event featured 14 gaming tables offering blackjack, craps, Texas hold ‘em and roulette. Elvis impersonator Billy “E” Thomas chatted with guests and sang popular Presley hits. Heavy hors d’oeuvres were served and a silent auction, coupled with a raffle, added to the bottom line.

All proceeds directly support Rotary charities, such as the Food Bank of North Carolina, Interfaith Food Shuttle, Triangle Literacy Council, Operation Coming Home, Stop Hunger Now, Lake Waccamaw Boys and Girls Home, Total Life Center, scholarships for high school seniors, and the club’s 50th anniversary celebration in 2017.

Committee members were Jay Williams, Brian Propst, JJ Jolliff, Mike Wienold, Frank Bouknight and Ed Smallwood. Photographs from the evening by Gene Hirsch.
