District 7020 - Theme for 2012-13

Experience the Passion of Rotary

Description of elements of the BVI District Conference Logo

The 10 stars. The 10 stars symbolize the 10 countries that make up Rotary International District 7020. The countries in alphabetical order are: Anguilla, Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint Martin (+St. Baths) (FWI), Saint Maarten (NA), Turks and Caicos Islands, United States Virgin Islands.

The Hibiscus. The hibiscus is the symbol of District 7020. It was used for several years by District Governors and finally adopted by the D7020 Council of Governors as the defacto symbol as it is thought to be common to all islands of the district.

The Dove. The dove is symbolic of the Turtle Dove which is a national symbol of Tortola, the largest island of the BVI. Tortola is also the Spanish word for Turtle Dove and is also known affectionately as the land of the Turtle Doves. The Dove is also symbolic of our intent to honor and passionately promote Rotary International’s long term commitment to world peace.

The Anchor. The anchor is a symbol that The British Virgin Islands regards itself as the sailing capital of the world. The anchor also symbolizes Rotary's stability in the BVI through all three of our Clubs as well as through the new Generation clubs including Rotaract, Interact and EarlyAct.

The Rotary Wheel. The Rotary Wheel has been the symbol of Rotary since the very early days of the of Rotary’s existence. The gear wheel (with the key way) has been adopted by Rotary International since 1923. It symbolizes many things including the early practice of our founding members (led by Paul P. Harris) of RI rotating meetings at each other’s locations.

Our conference logo then is complete in that it has local, District and International elements bound together by a passion that exudes from all members of the BVI Rotary family.

In May 2010, Vance was elected by District 7020 Leadership to serve as its District Governor for 2012-2013. This was a milestone for the British Virgin Islands – the first Rotarian from the BVI to serve as District Governor for District 7020.

In addition to his busy Rotary schedule, Vance also has a multifaceted business and professional life.

“The excitement is growing for Rotarians in the British Virgin Islands to showcase the territory to the other Rotarians around the District and to act as hosts during the 2013 conference” said Lewis. “Our visiting Rotarians will have a grand time enjoying fellowship while learning more about Rotary and exploring the BVI”

And CURRENT VISION…

Support The Rotary Foundation!

Start early! Don’t wait till there are only a few weeks are left in the Rotary year!

The contributions to the Annual Programs Fund are what we as a District depend on - so that we can help fund the projects that our clubs apply for.

For many years now, District 7020 has been receiving in Foundation Grants over 10 times what collectively we have contributed to The Foundation.

Let’s make it happen. Do our share! Make that contribution to The Rotary Foundation today!

Get started!

Future Vision Grant Types – July 1, 2013

The two grant types are district grants and global grants.

A district grant is a block grant awarded to a district annually. The district administers the activities carried out with these funds.

A global grant is applied for by a host and international sponsor for an activity relating to an area of focus with a sustainability component.

Global grant funding includes cash contributions, DDF contributions, and an award (or “match”) from the World Fund at TRF.

The minimum award amount from the World Fund for a global grant, regardless of activity type, is US$15,000, which results in a minimum total financing of $30,000.

The World Fund award is based on a 100 percent match of DDF ($1.00:$1.00) or a 50 percent match of cash contributions ($0.50:$1.00).

Examples of global grant financing:

DDF contribution $15,000TRF World Fund match $15,000Total $30,000

Or

Cash contribution $30,000TRF World Fund match $15,000Total $45,000

Or

DDF contribution $10,000Cash contribution $10,000TRF World Fund match ($10,000 + $5,000) $15,000Total $35,000

Contact [email protected] with any additional questions about the new grant model.

Training and Information in the BVI… submitted by John Harper

An exciting event took place this spring at the University of the Virgin Islands.

Three of the four Rotary Clubs on St. Croix sponsored an annual Model UN competition. Students from the St. Thomas campus competed against students from the St Croix Campus.

Of the major topics of debate, one was interventionism in Haiti.

Most of the program was devoted to this and other problems in Haiti. A young man who was born in Haiti made a very compelling argument questioning the value of intervention over the years.

Thanks to UVI and the sponsoring Rotary clubs, the students of UVI are learning a great deal about social and political issues in Haiti.

Saint Croix Central High teacher Stan Joines used to put out an announcement seeking student crew to race with him. “This year they found me,” says Joines, who recently purchased Tony Sanpere’s J/35, Cayennita Grande.

Sanpere shared driving duties with Joines while crew such as Jensen Estephan trimmed the jib, Eric Perez handled the Genoa and Cizangel Pilier raised the spinnaker pole, racing to a first place finish in the seven-boat CSA Non-Spinnaker Class. “The team effort paid off,” says Joines.

The article and photos appear in the magazine All At Sea. Above is an excerpt from the article, with a quote from Stan. He continues to do an amazing job with mentoring of young people. His boat is pictured above. That's Stan at the wheel. (Stan is a member of the Rotary Club of St. Croix Mid-Isle. He has been the band teacher at St. Croix Central High School for many years.)

Another excerpt below:

(Report by Carol M. Bareuther. Photos by Dean Barnes.)Sixty two yachts, everything from a Hobie 16 to an Andrews 72, raced in the 29th International Rolex Regatta (IRR), out of the St. Thomas Yacht Club, March 23 – 25. This breadth and depth of fleet is what makes the IRR one of a kind. It’s one of only two Caribbean regattas to boast an IRC-rated class, welcome participants from as far away as Monaco and Russia, include a strong beach cat class, invite all-girls’ teams to race, and accept crews ranging from winning America’s Cup helmsmen to inexperienced high-schoolers. A world-class fleet of nine IRC-rated yachts competed this year. The high point was a win by the Cayman Islands’ Peter Cunningham’s TP 52, PowerPlay.

…submitted by Louis Wever, PAG, St. Maarten

Recently, the Interact Club of the Milton Peters School (MPC) with their MPC Interact coordinator/ advisor Mr. Cees Schotel and club Rotarian Fred van der Peijl, service-project of Rotary Club St. Maarten., donated the monies they made with their

carwash project ( in February) with the special beneficiary for the Sister Basilia Center. Here they made about US $ 750.00.

In the photo, Rotarian Fred is in the back row, second from right. Next to him is Mr. Cees Schotel, Interact co-ordinator at the school Mr. Schotel is not a Rotarian, but he is a teacher and active co-ordinator of the Interact Club. With the dark blue shirts, you see some of the Interactors. In light blue are some of the clients of the Basilia Center.

On Earth Day, also this Interact Club did a clean-up at the Down Beach/ Tamarind Hill area. Here they collected 68 bags.

This young Interact Club of the MPC and its members are really showing the good work in our community.

Thank you MPC Interact , Cees Schotel and Fred van der Peijl for a job well done!

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is one of the most complex, neurological conditions that affect individuals in the fields of social communication, interaction and flexibility of mind. Due to the nature of the condition, people with ASD have difficulties in terms of self-advocating their fundamental rights.

The project is supported by the Youth in Action Program of the European Union, The Jamaica Autism Support Association and the New Kingston Rotaract Club.

Within the project, young people (ages 13-30) with ASD meet on a regular basis with members of the New Kingston Rotaract Clubto

Discuss the challenges they face in everyday life Learn about their rights, campaigning of active citizenship Make an awareness video to inform the broader public about their situation Prepare the World Autism Strategy for Youth with ASD – the proposal of the directives for decision making organizations

focusing on the rights of young people with ASD

Besides regular meetings in their own countries, young people with ASD, as well as a member of The New Kingston Rotaract Clubwill have a chance to:

Attend the International Youth Conference in China

Attend the youth camp in Slovenia, where they will have an opportunity to meet, exchange their views on active citizenship and self-advocacy, present their talents and most of all spend quality time with each other

APPENDIX Guidelines for Rotary name and emblem

The Rotary emblem Guidelines on using Rotary marks Rotary name Rotary emblem

The Rotary emblemThe Rotary emblem is a trademark owned by Rotary International and is protected throughout the world by the international association.

The words "Rotary" and "Rotary club," and the Rotary emblem are trademarks of Rotary International registered in over 60 countries. This number increases on an annual basis. Read the Rotary International Web site terms and conditions of use .

Rotary clubs and districts may use RI graphics, available for download and reproduction, in a wide range of print publications, on their Web sites, and in e-newsletters, signage, and other materials. The design and format vary based on the purpose of the communication.

Questions? Contact [email protected]

The Rotary emblem

Rotary's early emblem was a simple wagon wheel (in motion with dust). It was designed in 1905 by Montague M. Bear, a member of the Rotary Club of Chicago who was an engraver. He designed the emblem to represent both civilization and movement. Most of the early Rotary clubs adopted the wheel in one form or another.

The present emblem, 24 cogs and six spokes, was adopted in 1924. A keyway was added to signify usefulness. An official description of the emblem was adopted at the 1929 International Convention.

Clubs, districts and Rotary Entities are welcome to use the Rotary emblem subject to the guidelines for the use of the Rotary Marks as set forth by RI's Board of Directors. These guidelines govern the use of the Rotary Marks on all merchandise, promotional materials and publications, including domain names and web sites. Read more about Official Licensed Vendors of RI. See the color chart .

In addition, other RI logos are available for download , and you can order Rotary Logos on CD (234-MU), which includes Rotary and Rotary Foundation logos, including various program logos, through the online catalog or the international office serving your area.

Guidelines on using the Rotary Marks

Help Rotary International protect its good name and intellectual property by correctly using the Rotary name , Rotary emblem and other Rotary Marks.

The Rotary Marks include Rotary, Rotary International, Interact, Rotaract, The Rotary Foundation, Paul Harris, End Polio Now, and Rotarian, among numerous others. The Rotary Marks are trademarks or registered trademarks of Rotary International in more than 60 countries.

The Rotary Marks shouldn't be altered, modified, or obstructed in any way. Anyone who notices a club or district incorrectly using the Rotary emblem or other Rotary Marks -- on fliers, websites, or anything else -- should advise the club or district to correct the materials and contact their CDS representative .

The following guidelines on the use of the Rotary Marks are from the Rotary Code of Policies (noted below as RCP). Please follow these guidelines in naming your project or program and in developing promotional materials. (See Rotary Code of Policies article 33 and Manual of Procedure chapter 17.)

Rotary name

The RI Board has determined that any use of the "Rotary" name without a further qualifier, such as the name of a Rotary club, Rotary district, or other Rotary entity, refers to the international association RI. (Rotary Code of Policies [RCP] 33.020.6)

New project names or programs not under the exclusive control of RI or The Rotary Foundation must include the name of the participating Rotary club(s), district(s), or other Rotary Entity immediately following or preceding the name "Rotary" and should not use the word "International." (RCP 33.020.6)

If using the words "Rotary" and "Foundation," these words must not appear together, but must be separated by additional identifying information, such as the name of the participating Rotary club(s), district(s), or other Rotary Entity. (RCP 33.020.5)

Ongoing projects and programs not under the exclusive control of RI and not conforming to these guidelines should be renamed to provide this additional identifying information (i.e., the name of the participating Rotary club(s), district(s), or other Rotary Entity must be included when using the name "Rotary"). (RCP 33.020.6)

No alterations, obstructions, or modifications of "Rotary" are permitted. No abbreviations, prefixes, or suffixes of "Rotary," such as "Rota," are permitted. (RCP 33.020.6)

Rotary clubs, districts, other Rotary Entities, and individual Rotarians should purchase domain names that comply with the naming guidelines outlined in the RCP and the Manual of Procedure. Rotary Entities are encouraged to check with their CDS representative to ensure their proposed domain name complies with Board policy for use of the Rotary Marks, before registering domain names. Domain names not in compliance with Board policy should be changed to comply. RI reserves the right to ask for the transfer of ownership to RI of any non-compliant domain name. (RCP 52.020.1, 33.020.6)

The name of any project or program that does not conform to RI Board guidelines must receive specific RI Board approval. (RCP 33.020.6)

Rotary emblem

The Rotary emblem, like the Rotary name, represents the international association, RI, and also includes the name "Rotary International." (RCP 33.010.4)

Whenever the Rotary emblem is used for a project, program, or activity not under the exclusive control of RI or The Rotary Foundation, the name of the participating club(s), district(s), or other Rotary Entity should also be used in addition to theRotary emblem and should appear in close proximity to and equal prominence with the Rotary emblem. (RCP 33.010.4)

Any reproduction of the Rotary emblem must meet RI's specifications. (See Manual of Procedure chapter 17; RCP 33.010.1.) Camera-ready art can be obtained through your CDS representative or shop.rotary.org . No alterations, modifications, or obstructions of the Rotary emblem are permitted. The Rotary emblem must be reproduced in its entirety. (RCP 33.010.7)

The RI Bylaws discourage any joint use of the RI emblem with the emblem or logo of another organization for any commercial purpose. (RI Bylaws 18.020; RCP 33.010.2)
