LYRICS FOR TODAY’S SONG: TODAY’S SONG – “Yankee Doodle Dandy” – The story is that of George M. Cohan, a singer-dancer and actor, from his early days until his later years. Cohan also wrote countless songs, as well as musical plays, and was a theatrical producer. The story takes George from working with his parents and sister in vaudeville as The Four Cohans to his Broadway endeavors. The play contains 24 of Cohan's songs, and showcases Cohan's dancing abilities as well. These are songs such as Give My Regards To Broadway, You're A Grand Old Flag, and Yankee Doodle Dandy.

“I'm a Yankee Doodle DandyA Yankee Doodle, do or dieA real live nephew of my Uncle SamBorn on the Fourth of July

I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheartShe's my Yankee Doodle joyYankee Doodle came to LondonJust to ride the poniesI am the Yankee Doodle Boy”

“A Rotary Moment in Print: Rotary clubs and districts worldwide are mobilizing resources to deliver urgently needed relief to the millions affected by Haiti's devastating earthquake. District 7020, which includes Haiti, has flown in 55 planes filled with more than 50,000 pounds of medical equipment and

Page 2: THE SPARK'S shadow - Ningapi.ning.com/.../012510.doc  · Web viewTHE SPARK'S shadow ... District 7020, ... supplies into the cities of Pignon and Port-de-Paix to bypass logistical

supplies into the cities of Pignon and Port-de-Paix to bypass logistical problems in the hard-hit capital of Port-au-Prince.

"Rotary had an incredible infrastructure established before the quake, which has made our relief efforts very effective," says Dick McCombe, past district governor and Haiti liaison chair. "We're flying in supplies through backdoor channels and doing things a lot of agencies can't do." The district's Haiti Task Force, set up two years ago to administer all financial aid to the nation, is working with local clubs to deliver aid to Port-au-Prince and those who have taken refuge in the countryside.

McCombe says Rotary was in a good position to help in Haiti, with 33 projects already underway to provide water, sanitation, medical care, and education. "We changed from teaching children how to read to saving their lives," says McCombe. Clubs in the district have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for short- and long-term recovery. "Rotarians are incredibly generous and are doing what needs to be done," says McCombe. "We are setting aside some of these contributions for long-term recovery." - RI Web SiteANNOUNCEMENTS

Glen’s comments on his tenure as CO of the base highlight concerns for the local economy, base security, environmental issues, and the future of the military programs, with the certainty that these programs will change. The county must be prepared for whatever the future brings. To read the entire article goes to http://countytimes.com .

DISTRICT RELIEF EFFORT FOR HAITIDistrict Governor Paul Frey writes: “I wanted to give you an update on our district's Haiti disaster relief initiative. We had a very good conference call on Wednesday evening with approximately 26 clubs represented.  Leigh Reddy, the District 5030 Military Liaison and Disaster Relief Coordinator, was on the call, as well.  Wick Caldwell, club president of our Greenbelt club, and our district's Disaster Relief Rotary Action Group (DRRAG) chair, ran the call. Lee informed us that there are three districts coordinating relief efforts, in addition to RI's Donor Advised Fund.  District 7020 and 4060 are the preferred districts to send money, as they are in a position (and they have the required expertise) to dispense the money as needed. Right now the priorities are water, food, medical supplies, and medicine.  If we send money, that is the best way to help the relief effort, at this point in time. We have decided to set a goal of raising $100,000 as a district, which is about $40 per Rotarian.  We have set an immediate goal of raising and sending $50,000 of the $100,000 by Friday, January 29.  The money should be sent to our District Trust Fund, using the following info: 

Wiring or EFT instructions for BB&T:

                        Bank Name – BB&T                        Routing # - 055003308                        Account Name – District 7620 Project Trust Fund                        Account # - 5150743283

            Memo information - For Haitian Relief

If they need to supply a bank address use:                                    1 North Market Street                        Frederick, MD 21701 If you wire the funds, they may want to know the DISTRICT'S office address.  It is: 

District 7620772 North Mesa RoadMillersville, MD 21108 Photo from Disaster Relief Rotary Action Group (DRRAG)

 There is a fee to wire the money, so you may also MAIL any checks to BB&T at the 1 North Market St. address above. PLEASE put on the check Haiti Disaster Relief, and be sure that the check has your club's name on it for proper credit. ALSO, if your club chooses to send money, supplies, or support in another manner, you are welcome to do so. ShelterBox, a great program, is another resource that some clubs have chosen to support.  The folks on the ground are suggesting money now, and other items later, but each club can do as they see fit, with the full support of the district.  Please let me know what you are doing so we can track and communicate our efforts! If you have already sent money and other items, and you are not in a position to send more money now, that is fine, too. We have already sent $4000 from our clubs, we have another $8000 in our account to send, and MANY clubs have sent other items, including ShelterBoxes, to the area. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

LEXINGTON PARK ROTARY DICTIONARY WEEK Paula Coxon, Club Service Lane Director, reminded members that dictionaries are to be distributed during the week of Jan. 25th. SMC Public School Superintendent, Dr. Michael Martirano, praised the club for ‘truly caring’ about our students and their education. The dictionaries are very important to the

schools, the students, and the community. For many of the children it is the first book they have ever owned and re-enforces self worth and the value of education. 27% of the student population in SMC public schools qualify for free or reduced lunch. Education can be the key to an improved economic future. This is the sixth year for the project, which was begun to mark the 100th year of Rotary.

Brent Bennitt arranged for all of Superintendent Dr. Michael Martirano the Rotary labels and information that goes home with the dictionaries to be printed. Team leaders should e-mail Paula and George the date and time scheduled for book distribution. (George will be taking pictures at as many sites as possible.) This project is considered by many LP Rotarians to be one of the most enjoyable of the year. If you are not signed up to help, consider doing so.

The goal of The Dictionary Project is to assist all third grade students to complete the school year as good writers, active readers, and Students at Green Holly Elementary display their new dictionaries

creative thinkers by providing the students with their own personal dictionaries. The program is an opportunity for children to expand their vocabulary and for many to actually own a dictionary.

PAJAMA CONNECTIONSue Smith, a retired nurse, saw a need and found a way to fill it. Many of the homeless children in the county have little more than the clothes on their backs. They may be the children of parents who have made poor choices, casualties of a weak economy or products of drug addicted parents. They may be sleeping in cars, in the woods, or on the streets. The mission of Pajama Connection is to give ‘each homeless and foster care child in Calvert, Charles, and St. Mary’s Counties a tote or back pack containing: new pajamas, a stuffed animal, a book, coloring or activity age appropriate book, pencils and crayons, toothbrush and toothpaste, comb and brush, socks, and disposable diapers for infants up to 18 months. Every homeless child needs something to call his/her own”. In SMC they work through 3-Oaks, Walden, and DSS Foster Care. They deliver to homeless children in the three southern Maryland counties and work

through ten different agencies and are supported by many of the local churches. Contributions may be made to the Hollywood United Methodist Church -PJ Connection. (301-373-2500). for further information contact Sue Smith at 301-904-3427 or go to www.gbgmumc.orghollywoodumcmd .

HOMELESSNESS IN ST. MARY’S COUNTLanny Lancaster, Executive Director of The Three Oaks Center, spoke on the ‘Residential and Supportive Services for the Homeless”. Three Oaks Center ‘provides emergency transitional, and permanent supportive housing for individuals and families to help meet basic needs for shelter and other resources so that they may return to productive self-sufficient lives in the community’. (3-Oaks Brochure) The center provides support for men, women and children and has two facilities as well as some individual housing. Homelessness is growing in SMC. The # 1 problem for most is the lack of affordable housing. The SMC Department of Human Services has been charged with developing a 3-year plan to address homelessness. Bennett Connolly, the Department of Human Services Coordinator, addressed this issue and highlighted the 3-year strategic plan for addressing homelessness in SMC. The goals of this plan are:

Three Oaks Director Lanny Lancaster

#1 Establish preventive strategies to reduce and/or eliminate occurrences of homelessness#2 Improve the efficiency of emergency services#3 Increase opportunities for transitional and

permanent housing#4 Enhance System Coordination

The Annual ‘point in time survey’ performed in January of 2008 (and which will be headed this year by Robin Finnacom) showed 883 individuals affected with more than half with dependent children. 111 persons were classified as chronically homeless, 153 as severely mentally ill, 125 were assessed as chronic substance abusers, 7 were veterans, and 51 were victims of domestic violence. Emergency or transitional sheltering are only temporary solutions. Permanent housing Human Services Coordinator Bennett Connolly

is the only segment of the homeless continuum of care that will reduce the rolls of the homeless. In SMC the DSS, Leah’s House, Three Oaks, and many churches through the ‘Warm Nights Program’, help provide shelter. Additional information may be obtained by contacting Lanny Lancaster at [email protected].

THE FINANCIAL LITERACY COMMITTEEThe Financial Literacy Committee met Jan 11th and discussed the website “Money Matters” draft. The RCLP will partner with the Chamber of Commerce, the College of Southern Maryland, local financial institutions and possibly other Southern Maryland Rotary Clubs, in this effort to provide easily accessible information on finance to new teachers and other young professionals in the area. Club members are urged to inform employees of this program.

There will be a ‘Money-Smart Conference’ on Feb. 20th from 8:00am to 12:30 pm at the CSM Leonardtown Campus. A light breakfast will be served. Ten Rotary Volunteers are needed to help with event coordination and to direct participants. See Ed Turbush for information.

A TRIBUTE TO ROLAND BEHNKE
