A MESSAGE FROM
DISTRICT GOVERNOR, JACK ARNEY
Do you know when the first Rotary meeting was held?
Those of you who guessed February 23, 1905 are correct. The anniver-
sary of this special day in our history is celebrated this month.
February is also Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution Month, so
it is a very special month.
We are now more than half way through our year of Being the Inspira-
tion to our communities. During this month we can focus on doing
something that brings more understanding and peace in our world.
How will you honor the idea of peace this special month?
* Will you consider bring in an RYE student next year, or the year after?
* Will you embark on an international project to bring clean water, medical equipment,
help alleviate hinger or find a club somewhere else who could use your help?
* Will you consider forming a relationship with a sister club some place else in the Rotary
world to exchange cultural ideas and possibly visit them or engage in a joint project.?
* Is there some way your club can help educate or support a program that focuses on stop
ping domestic violence or bullying in schools?
* Will you commit yourself or club to assisting the district Human Trafficking project to
help end domestic and international sex trafficking?
There are many ways we can all make small contributions to promoting peace as Rotarians and
Rotary clubs, and there is no better time than this month to put our focus and energy to this
worthy endeavor. This is the birth month of this great organization that fosters peace daily in our
clubs through our fellowship and connection to those we honor and the projects we work on in our
communities and abroad.
Let’s all be the Inspiration for peace!
Yours In Rotary,
DG Jack

Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution Month
Rotary International’s Peace component can be confusing. How is “peace” defined in the Rotary dic-
tionary? Does it mean we want Rotarians to go to Afghanistan and negotiate peace with the Taliban?
I think it is safe to say that most Rotarians wouldn’t volunteer to be on that committee. However,
the regional and local conflicts around the world have underscored the need for professionals skilled
at creating peace.
ROTARY PEACE CENTERS
Rotary created the Rotary Peace Centers in 2002 to identify highly qualified professionals to become
agents of peace. Six Rotary Peace Centers are located in Universities around the world. The Rotary
Peace Fellows complete a rigorous program applied to areas related to peace and conflict resolution.
The Fellowships cover tuition and fees, room and board, round trip transportation and all intern-
ship and field-study expenses. The Peace Center programs are made possible through the generous
support of a relatively small group of Rotarians.
Since 2002, the Rotary Peace Centers have trained over 1000 fellows for careers in peace building.
Many of them are serving as leaders of international organization or have started their own founda-
tions.
Each year the Rotary Foundation awards
50 fellowships for master’s degrees and
50 for certificate studies.
The master’s program lasts 15 to 24
months. The certificate program lasts 3
months with 3 weeks field study.
Rotary Peace Fellows study in Peace Cen-
ters in countries other than their own.

Peace Centers: Follow Rotary Peace Cen-
ters on Facebook

We have Rotarians in our district who are promoting peace by making our community
and the world a better place through their own foundations and non-profits. Some of
these incredible people are highlighted in the next 3 pages.
ROTARIANS WAGE PEACE
LIGHT THE WORLD
Kwame Acquaah (Passport One Rotary) or Dr. Kwame as he
is commonly known, can be described as a man who exempli-
fies leadership and is passionate about the well being of others
and the environment. His passion for helping others has been a
driving force in his vision and effort to create and lead the
Trans-Atlantic Environmental Inc. Light The World Campaign.
It is a non-profit organization whose mission has been the pro-
motion of clean and sustainable energy and the message of sal-
vation in remote villages of Ghana. The organization donates
free solar lights and books to select villages each year. Kwame
goes to Ghana every 6 months to oversee the operation of his
organization.
Kwame is the Chair of the District’s Peace Committee. He believes there is hope to improve condi-
tions in Ghana as they forge forward to a better Ghana—forward forever...never backward…

AFRICA HOPE FUND
Carol Van Bruggen (Point West) and Steve Kuhn first
traveled to Zambia in 2001 and were so moved by the ex-
perience of meeting the people and observing the wild-
life, they started Africa Hope Fund in 2008. The mission
of Africa Hope Fund is to promote conservation through
education and support organizations that work to pro-
tect wildlife and natural resources in Africa.
With an initial grant from Point West Rotary, they have
built classrooms and libraries for 2 schools; sponsored many children to go to secondary schools and
college, provided funds to support detection dogs in the national park and fund local ,scouting pa-
trols who catch and arrest poachers who are killing animals for ivory, rhino horn, bush meat and oth-
er animal parts. This is just to name a few accomplishments over the past ten years. They have taken
groups, including many Rotarians, on safari each year who experienced the wonder of this amazing
part of the world The next open trip is August 2019. www.africahopefund.org

MISSION SISTAH’S
Mission Sistahs, Inc. was created over four years ago. Roxanne
Snyder (Passport One) and Sonya Aitchison, co-founders,
first met in 2011 while on a mission trip to Cambodia working
with an organization helping girls that have been sold into sex
trafficking trade. Since then these two committed women have:
Co-led a team to Joplin, Mo to help with rebuilding efforts in
2012; traveled to Haiti to work with Mission of Hope in local vil-
lages with families in 2014; gone to Peru to work with Global
Missions in the Amazon jungle completing
the building of a church in one village and
doctors/nurses quarters in another; they went to Vietnam to work with the
Habitat of Humanity in 2016; went to Puerto Rico with Global Missions to as-
sist with re-building efforts after Hurricane Maria in 2018; refurbished a room
for a local nonprofit that houses and supports families leaving a violent envi-
ronment in 2018; packaged food for Feed My Starving Children and donated
money to a hungry family in 2018 . They have been approved as a Community
Partner with Bomba socks. www.missionsistahs.s150714.gridserver.com
FAMILY GREEN SURVIVAL
Gopal Kapur (Roseville Rotary) founded Family Green Survival.
Gopal believes that hunger in America is not acceptable. He says
that the most convenient, and most advertised food is not nutri-
tious. Add to this problem is the massive quantity of highly pro-
cessed food distributed to people in need.
The mission of his nonprofit is to provide nutritious meals to those
who are hungry in our community. He does this through his BagOf-
Life program. He has developed nutritious meals under the guid-
ance of medical professionals The BagOfLife contains four nutri-
tious, tasty and easy to prepare meals. The meals are distributed
free of cost to under-served communities through regional food banks, public service organizations
and college/university food pantries. To prepare meals, people simply boil water, add he contents of
the package and cook. For more information go to: www.familygreensurvival.org
It is not the duration of your life...rather it is the donation of it. Mission Sistahs
THE TEICHERT FOUNDATION
PDG Fred Teichert (Sacramento Rotary) was the founder of the
Teichert Foundation in 1990. The Foundation makes grants to organi-
zations that create beauty, foster culture, nurture children, provide ac-
cess to food and housing to those in need, preserve nature, increase
awareness of our environment, build an educated citizenry and a well-
prepared workforce and strive to provide better health for all. The
Foundation uses these areas of interest as criteria for awarding grants.
The intent is to award grants in the range of $3,000 to $7,500. The an-
nual grants budget s $400,000.
The Foundation also has an employee matching grant program. The
Foundation recognizes that the employees support community organizations, and the Employee
Matching Grant program helps give a little extra funding to those groups. They match the employee
donation us to $250 to give support to agencies the employees feel strongly about.
There is an extensive list of organizations that have received grants from the Teichert Foundation
on their website. www.teichert.com

EAST AFRICAN VILLAGE OUTREACH
Seifu Ibssa (Passport One) is the Co-Founder and Executive Director
of East African Village Outreach. It is a non denominational faith based
organization that helps people in Ethiopia/Kenya. They seek to improve
living condition in rural East African villages to enable people to over-
come issues that contribute to chronic impoverishment. They use a ho-
listic approach to improve health, expand education, improve self-
sufficiency and provide hope for the next generation.
Some of their projects include developing a water spring in Ajo, Ethio-
pia to increase the flow of water from a local spring into a delivery system. They partnered with the
Tree Foundation of Ethiopia and distributed thousands of indigenous tree seedlings and 2400
grafted apple fruit trees to farmers in Acheber, Ethiopia. Seifu is especially proud of the work EAVO
has done in education. So far, they have built 2 elementary schools and one high school. The high
school was in partnership with the Ethiopian government. They have also helped 53 students attend
college and graduate.
Their mission is to develop a trusting working relationship with people in rural village areas
through humanitarian efforts. www.eavo.org

CARMICHAEL ROTARIANS BRING CLEAN WATER
TO 10,000 PEOPLE IN UGANDA
In late 2015, the Rotary Club of Carmichael embarked on a
project that would affect the lives of thousands of people living in
Uganda.. The group learned about the rural village in Iyolwa,
Uganda named Poyemi through the presentation from club
member, Richard Olebe. Olebe described Poyemi as a place
where villagers spent an average of four to five hours per day
walking to and from their primary water source. Most of the
time, nearby water sources (like a river or a swamp) can be con-
taminated. Contaminated water is a big problem in the area.
Young girls walking so many hours every day to fetch water for
their families has an effect of keeping them out of school. It is
also a disease problem.
Richard Olebe was born and raised in Uganda. He came to the U.S. and has worked for the Cali-
fornia Department of Water Resources for 25 years. He has lived in Carmichael for 35 years.
Richard told the club the wells in the area were shallow and not deep enough to get to clean water.
He proposed a project of building five 200-foot wells in an area where people were living with con-
taminated water. Richard estimated that five wells that are 200 feet deep and 3 big water tanks
would fit the needs of 10,000
Olebe, who holds an engineering degree from the University of Nairobi and two master’s degrees
from Stanford, spoke on the life changing benefits these wells would create.
Richard estimated five wells might cost $80,000; Water storage tanks-$80,000; water and distri-
bution lines-$25,ooo and spare parts $15,000. The total was $2000,000 and he added that it
would take 3 years for completion.
The club agreed that this was a
project worth taking, but how
could they raise the funds?
Their plan to raise the money needed
for the project was to allocate $4,000
to $5,000 of club funds and go to
other clubs in the district for commit-
ments to help. The next step would be
to use matching grants to reach the
goal.

CARMICHAEL INSPIRES OTHERS TO SUPPORT
THEIR WATER WELLS PROJECT
INSPIRE
On December 5, 2018, the project was completed with the final installation of fencing and testing of
all the solar-powered submersible pumps associated with each well. The project cost over $200,000
and took three years to finish. The Rotary clubs that participated in the project with Carmichael in-
clude: Arden-Arcade; Auburn Sunset; Sacramento; East Sacramento; Endwell, New York; Folsom;
Granite Bay; Point West; Rancho Cordova Sunrise; South Sacramento and Tororo Uganda Clubs.
The project commissioning took place at Poyemi on December 15th with Project Chair Richard
Olebe and immediate past Carmichael Rotary President Richard Bauer in attendance at
the ceremony.
The wells now serve approximately 10,000 people and have the potential to output over 7,000 gal-
lons of water per hour. They drilled a total of five wells and each had its own solar powered pump.
Three wells were at schools and two in villages
By changing the availability of water, the Carmichael Rotary Club’s water wells project has had a
have a profound impact on people’s lives in Poyemi.
THE ROTARY VAN
The Rotary van has been on the road for 3 years and has racked up 18,739 miles with many more
years of service in its future. It is primarily used for transportation, but it also serves as a traveling
billboard that publicizes Rotary to thousands of people who have never heard of us before. The van
is used for a variety of purposes that help both the community and Rotary.
It is a 2013 Chevy Express Passenger van that was purchased in 2015 for a cost of $25,000 with
$13,000 coming from three clubs. The Rotary Club of Arden-Arcade initiated the purchase
with the Carmichael and Point West Clubs joining them. (Arden-Arcade ($6,000) Point West
($4,000) Carmichael $3,000) . The remainder of $12,000 was received from a district grant .
The van is used by the Fulton-El Camino Recre-
ation and Park District ,the Mission Oaks Rec-
reation and Park District and the Sheriff’s Com-
munity Impact Program to transport youth to
the many outing they have throughout the year.
It has made a difference in kids being able to
attend sporting events, field trips, camping trips
and any other activities that happens outside
the park areas,
The van holds 12 passengers with plenty of extra
room left for back packs or other gear the kids
bring with them.
It is parked in the gated Fulton-El Camino yard,
and they are responsible for any maintenance
that the van requires.
The van is also used by the three sponsoring
clubs as well as the district for events like
P.E.T.S. and district conferences.
There is a site where authorized users can re-
serve the van for a specific day and time. The
reservations are on a first-come-first-served ba-
sis . Each group that uses the van has to have
their own insurance.
It doesn’t take a special license to drive the van,
as long as there are only 12 passengers. Every-
one who drives it has to have a background
check and have a clean driving record.
So far, the Rotary van has run smoothly as has
the system that everyone follows to use it. It’s a
win-win for everyone involved and a source of
pride for all of us.
Eat your heart out Vin Diesel, you’re going to
have to find another hot rod for Fast and Furi-
ous 9. This one is taken.

PRESIDENT’S DAY
FEBRUARY 18th
INSPIRE
George Washington’s Birthday is celebrated the third Monday of every February. His birthday was
actually February 22nd, but that doesn’t always fall on a Monday, so we fudge a little on the date.
(Sorry George, but moving your birthday to the third Monday of the month means we all get a three
day weekend. Besides, how else could RC Willey have their three day mattress sale if we celebrated
in the middle of the week?)
The day was popularly recognized as honoring the birthdays of both Washington and Abraham
Lincoln who was born on February 12th. Today, many consider it a day to honor all U.S. Presidents.
Speaking of all U.S. Presidents, some of them were Rotarians.
U.S. Presidents who belonged to Rotary Clubs:
Woodrow Wilson—Rotary Club of Birmingham, AL
Warren G Harding—Rotary Club of Washington, DC
Franklin Roosevelt—Rotary Club of Albany, NY
Gerald R. Ford—Rotary Club of Grand Rapids, MI
John F. Kennedy—Rotary Club of Hyannis, MA
U.S. Presidents who were Honorary Members:
Calvin Coolidge
Herbert Hoover
Harry S. Truman
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Richard Nixon
Jimmy Carter

FLEX-ABILITY
MEMBER MOMENT By PDG Sandi Sava
Have you been at a club meeting, at the gym, on an airplane, in front of the TV and suddenly had a
Rotary revelation but have been unable to share it because the timing just wasn’t right? Or, have
multiple Rotary thoughts been building up in your head and you just need an outlet to help bring
them all together?
The best ideas about Rotary come from our very own members. But, sadly, many never make it from
our minds to our meetings. Think what would happen if we could capture those ideas and build
Member Momentum! Our members, our meetings, our clubs, our communities and Rotary would be
so much better.
Yesterday, I had a revelation, and it is the inspiration for this article. I was sitting in a room full of
Rotarians from many different districts– new, seasoned, young, old, left-brain and right-brain—
everyone was sharing ideas. Some ideas were general and other were quite specific. The more people
shared, the more that was accomplished. I wondered, “Why can’t and why shouldn’t we do this is
our own clubs?”
Consider having a full club meeting or program devoted to idea sharing among members about mat-
ters that are important to your members and relevant to your club. Would this be chaotic, you ask?
Not if the meeting or program is reasonably structured, the process is inclusive, and everyone un-
derstands the value that comes from respectful listening. Ideas generate more ideas which lead to
better ideas and ultimately to plans and solutions. If you have an idea to strengthen your club, share
it. If you want to hear ideas about how to improve Rotary, ask and question.
If you like the concept of an idea-sharing meeting, initiate it in your club.

URGENT NEED FOR BLOOD DONORS
INSPIRE
A letter from BloodSource (now Vitalant), from Alexandra Sigua:
Blood supplies in communities across the country are critically low, down 47% compared to early
December.
Currently, there is a need for platelets and type O blood donations; however, all blood types are
needed in emergency situations. When a patient’s blood type isn’t known, doctors reach for type O
blood first until the patient can be stabilized Platelets have a very short shelf life-only 5 days. Locally,
Blood Source (Vitalant) needs to collect about 4,900 donations of all types per week to replenish the
supply and meet the needs of area patients.
Blood Source (Vitalant) strives to maintain a 4-day supply of type O blood; currently we are at less
than half that amount for our nationwide supply.
To schedule an appointment to give blood, go to vitalant.org or call 877-258-825
Walk-ins are always welcome.
“We typically see a drop in donations at this time of year because people are not only recovering
from the holidays, many are also suffering from the flu and other illnesses.,” said Chris Gresens,
MD, Senior Chief Medical Officer for Vitalant. “Add bad weather to the mix, and it makes it ex-
tremely difficult to maintain an adequate blood supply for patients who need it.
DG, Jack Arney has a challenge for us with BloodSource (Vitalant). For more than 60 years, Ro-
tarians with families, friends and co-workers have teamed up to ensure a safe and plentiful blood
supple for our communities..
CHANGE LIVES
Donate from now to April 15, 2019 and change lives in multiple ways. Your blood donations
help patients live and INSPIRE others to do good. Make sure to mention your Rotary club when you
-or family, friends and co-workers-give a gift of life.
