Mountain View Young Marines. (Color Guard)

The Mountain View Young Marines is a

program to give today’s youth, ages 8 years

old through the completion of high school,

opportunities to grow in physical, moral, men-

tal and personal character development. Addi-

tionally, members learn valuable leadership

and teamwork skills while implementing a

core focus of the unit – promotion of a disci-

plined, healthy and drug-free lifestyle. The

motto of all Young Marine units is:

“Strengthening the lives of America’s youth.”

Since its inception in January, 2011, the

Mountain View Young Marines has been entirely student led. That is to say, the members col-

lectively decide on unit leadership, community service and advanced training opportunities. For

example, in its short history, the MVYM has traveled to Window Rock, Arizona, to serve and

honor World War II’s remaining Navajo Code Talkers, have served Color Guard for numerous

community activities, have taught their peers the benefits of avoiding drug use, have served the

needs of local veterans and have collected Toys For Tots. As well, individuals within the unit

have excelled to earn national honors and scholarships through the Young Marines.

The opportunities for unit members to develop self-confidence while learning the basic mil-

itary disciplines such as preparation of and wearing Young Marine uniforms, marching, drills,

Color Guard, inspections, respect for authority and accountability are present at the local, re-

gional and national levels of the organization. A hallmark of the Mountain View Young Ma-

rines is providing youth these privileges in a safe, fun and engaging environment.

The youth of Douglas County have a unique opportunity to be considered for membership

in the next MVYM recruit training that will begin in early March 2012. Informational meet-

ings will be held for students and their parents/guardians to learn more about this unit and the

Young Marines in general.

For more information about the Mountain View Young Marines, please visit the website at

www.YoungMarines.com or contact Unit Com-

mander Brenda McNulty at:

[email protected] or

Rotary's work with the UN and other organizations

Throughout its history, Rotary International has collabo-

rated with the United Nations, governments, and nongov-

ernmental organizations to improve the human condition.

The greatest example of Rotary’s effective collaborations is

its flagship program, PolioPlus, which aims to eradicate

polio worldwide. Working with spearheading partners

UNICEF, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the World

Health Organization, Rotary has contributed over $600 million and countless volun-

teer hours to help immunize more than two billion children against the crippling and

often fatal disease.

Cooperative efforts are also a key element of Rotary’s local service. Rotary clubs in

Toronto, for example, have worked with Habitat for Humanity to build houses for de-

serving families in the community. Similar collaborations have helped Rotary’s 1.2

million club members promote goodwill, service, world understanding, and peace in

more than 200 countries and geographical areas.

Rotary and the United Nations have a long history of working together and sharing

similar visions for a more peaceful world. In 1942, Rotary clubs from 21 nations orga-

nized a conference in London to develop a vision for advancing education, science, and

culture after World War II. That event was a precursor to UNESCO. In 1945, 49 Ro-

tarians went to San Francisco to help draft the UN Charter. Rotary and the UN have

been close partners ever since, a relationship that’s apparent through PolioPlus and

work with UN agencies.

Rotary currently holds the highest consultative status offered to a nongovernmental or-

ganization by the UN’s Economic and Social Council, which oversees many special-

ized UN agencies. Rotary maintains and furthers its relationship with a number of UN

bodies, programs, commissions, and agencies through its representative networks. This

network consists of RI representatives to the United Nations and other organizations.

THE FOUR-WAY TEST

Of the things we think, say or do:

Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all concerned?

Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Diversity and Rotary Rotary International recognizes the value of diversity within individual clubs. Rotary

encourages clubs to assess those in their communities who are eligible for member-

ship, under existing membership guidelines, and to endeavor to include the appropri-

ate range of individuals in their clubs. A club that reflects its community with regard

to professional and business classification, gender, age, religion, and ethnicity is a club

with the key to its future.


Visit the tables set up to inform the guests of the many Rotary

Club projects, our Corporate Sponsors, and various Town of Parker departments. See the back of this publication for additional pro-

jects. The following project tables will be set up:

DOUG YOUNG Doug Young has been a member of the Rotary Club of Parker for ten years, and served as Vocational Service

Director in 2004-2005. He is currently the Rotary Dis-trict 5450 Chair of The Four-Way Test Committee

whose mission is to positively impact the use of high ethical standards throughout all aspects of our commu-

nity. As a professional speaker, his personal mission is

to work with people of integrity who are committed to improving themselves, their businesses and organiza-

tions, and the world. Doug will provide us with an insight to the Rotary 4-Way Test today.

MATT KEIL

Army Staff Sgt. Matthew Keil volunteered for his first tour in Iraq because he was single and had hoped

to take the place of someone who was either married or had kids. SSG Keil returned unscathed from that

tour. He then got married and was sent back as the kind of person that he had volunteered to take the

place of.

On his second tour of duty the 25-year-old soldier was hit by sniper fire near Ramadi, Iraq. The injury

left him a quadriplegic, though he has regained some use of his left arm. Homes for Our Troops is proud to build this Hero a home adapted to his

needs.

Tracy says on her blog, "I know that we are both so very lucky to have

each other, and equally lucky to have all of you helping support us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, you don’t know what this means to

us." Matt will Lead the Pledge of Allegiance.

The Object of Rotary The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy

enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:

FIRST. The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;

SECOND. High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the

worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an

opportunity to serve society;

THIRD. The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business,

and community life;

FOURTH. The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace

through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of ser-

vice.

Avenues of Service Based on the Object of Rotary, the Avenues of Service are Rotary’s philosophical corner-

stone and the foundation on which club activity is based:

Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the effective function-

ing of the club.

Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and to

practice high ethical standards.

Community Service covers the projects and activities the club undertakes to improve

life in its community.

International Service encompasses actions taken to expand Rotary’s humanitarian

reach around the globe and to promote world understanding and peace.

New Generations Service provides leadership development, community and interna-

tional service projects, and exchange programs.

Mission The mission of Rotary International, a worldwide association of Rotary clubs, is to pro-

vide service to others, to promote high ethical standards, and to advance world understand-

ing, goodwill, and peace through its fellowship of business, professional, and community

leaders.
