Official Newsletter of District Governor Mike French

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all; I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and festive sea-son relaxing with family and friends. A well rested Rotarian is a Rotarian that needs to be put back to work, so let’s get at it! We have a great deal to accomplish in the next couple of months or so. RI President Kalyan Banerjee will be visiting us before we know it. The “Million Dollar Din-ner” will be the highlight of his visit and if you haven’t heard him speak then you should. The donor requirements are easier than they sound: see the article with the simplified re-quirements illustrated later in this edition. We have a major publicity campaign in Feb-ruary to highlight all Rotarians in every com-munity in the District. This will be followed by a major membership drive surveying each community to see if the publicity was noticed and interest stirred. Such a simple way for you to knock on a door, introduce yourself and Rotary, and share your passion around your favorite Rotary project.

Mike’s Mind 2 

And if we have all this completed by the end of March then I’ll have to think of something else to keep you busy for the last 3 months. Of course you could always attend the Interna-tional convention in Bangkok in early May, maybe even trek to the Everest Base Camp in April, (don’t forget to check the web-site to spon-sor your favorite Rotarian). If you want to stay more local come to Canmore and visit us at the District conference in late May; a great way to celebrate everything you and your club have accomplished. Come and re-aquaint with old friends and meet new friends with Rotari-ans from around the district. And oh boy, do we have a program lined up for you, it’s going to be a stimulating, educational, entertaining and fun event. Canmore Rotarians are excited to host you in their homes on the Friday evening for Home Hos-pitality and you wouldn’t believe the talent in the District that promises to entertain us at the open “Mike” event, hosted by Rotarian Herky Cutler from Pincher Creek. Check his web-site, listen to his music, buy his CD, or maybe not, maybe wait until Canmore and see Herky live! Go to the web-site to register – look for the district conference – Canmore. Come join us ! So, settle back into “Doing Good” in your commu-nity and around the world, enjoy the company of your fellow Rotarians, bring a few new friends to the table to share the load and enjoy the fellow-ship of the club and service through Rotary. Happy New Year to you all. DG Mike

Because January is Rotary Aware-ness Month, this is a great time to make sure your community knows who you are and what you do. Consider these tips:

Share your club's Web site or blog link through an electronic news release. Host a question and answer press confer-ence during one of your meetings, inviting lo-cal media. Invite a friend or co-worker to a meeting. Write a letter to the editor of your local pa-per about your club's community and interna-tional humanitarian efforts. Coordinate a community service project with another local organization. Purchase or download the RI publications This Is Rotary, What's Rotary? or Rotary Basics and distribute them in your community.

January marks Rotary Awareness Month 

Celebrate Rotary Awareness Month by train-ing members on Rotary history, programs, or how to raise awareness of your club’s projects among your community. Or, ask members to share a personal story or ex-perience that they have had because of Ro-tary. Every Rotarian has a Rotary story that can be educational and inspiring. The be-ginning of a new year is a good opportunity to renew inspiration for the rest of the Ro-tary year.

January is Rotary Awareness Month What is Rotary? You've been asked this question before, but did you have a good response? Because January is Rotary Awareness Month, thinking about this simple question is a good first step toward sharing Rotary with your community. Even though there are over 32,000 Rotary clubs in the world, many people still don't know what Rotary stands for. Please review Rotary's key messages at RI Website. For something with humor, read the following mas-ter piece (origin unknown) posted on the Kitimat Club website.

Karen Long Neck Hill Tribe

Should you do any travelling towards the north, a visit to the Long Neck hill tribe is a fascinating tour. The girls get the neck rings beginning at the age of 5 or 6 and then ad-ditional length is added periodically.

Feeding the Monks

Monks collect food in the early morning and usually the younger monks collect for the older monks. Villagers either prepare food in their own kitchens or buy it from vendors. A tray of food from a vendor will include rice, fruit, fish or meat, and water. Most monks only eat once per day, though they may eat twice. However, they must finish eating by 11 a.m. each day. Ask any Thai Rotarian how you can participate in this daily, moving event.

The SEARCH is on. The Rotary Club of Cal-gary Sarcee is on the lookout for an interna-tional project to lead. In the past we have had different levels of involvement in inter-national projects, this is the first one that we will be leading. Being our first project, we are on the hunt for an ‘easy’ project. By easy, we mean a project that is in a country where personal safety is not a large issue, the level of cor-ruption is low, and the level of government bureaucracy to get things done is reason-able. Our club has a preference for projects, both locally and internationally, that support or aid children in some way. We would like a project that is clearly defined and is self sus-taining in the long run. Ideally, for funding support, one that is in a Future Vision dis-trict and is also on the CIDA list of approved countries.

Rotary Zones 24/32 Institute 2012 Project Features - Suggestions Requested  

Is there an outstanding Rotary project in your district that should be presented at the 2012 Zone 24/32 Institute in October? 

As part of th e Institute in the beautiful city of Vancouver, we are seeking your suggestions for Rotary pro-jects to be featured in the program and throughout the Institute. Proud Leaders Celebrate Service is the theme for the Vanco uver Rotary Instit ute and what better way to illustrate this message than through a spotlight of wonderful Rotary projects in which you and your fellow Rotarians are involved? We know there are many outstanding Rotary projects in our two Zones that exemplify service, partnership and leadership, key focuses of the Institute. This is your opportunity to tell us about an exceptional project that you think should be shared with other Rotarians in this way. All project suggestions are welcomed; however, we are especially seeking projects which have been implemented dur ing past two years, inc lude an innovative or "non-traditional" approach in some as pect of the project and could be adapted for imple-mentation in other parts of our Zones. You may submit as many projects as you choose and are welcome to forward this request to other leaders in your district. How to suggest a project? Simply complete and return the profile form attached (see next page) with a project summary by Ja nuary 31, 2012 or before, as sh own on the pr ofile form. We will review the proj ect submissions in February and be back in touch with more information. Although the presentation time on the program itself is limited, there will be a number of ways for projects to be highlighted during the Institute.

Please contact PDG Gayle Knepper, Institute Program Chair, rotary5010@ak.net, with questions or for more information. We look forward to receiving your suggestion for an outstanding Rotary project.

Community Spirit Grant Submitted by AG Mike Christie

All Clubs in District 5360 need to be aware of the Community Spirit Grant Program. This is a Government of Alberta grant available through the Culture and Community Services Ministry. This is the web link: http://culture.alberta.ca/communityspirit/default.aspx In essence this grant will match donations to an Alberta Not for Profit organization. The limit for the grant is $25,000 per year with a maximum of $50,000 over a three year period. Donations must be cash and made by individual Albertans. That means corporations are disqualified along with folks who live in different Countries or Provinces. It also means that gifts of stocks or donations received by way of bequest, or more obviously gaming proceeds, do not qualify. However as an example, Sergeant at Arms fines and Happy Dollars do qualify. I am sure there are numerous other ways cash dona-tions are collected each year by Clubs that would also qualify. The annual deadline for applications is December 31st, so check out the website, crunch a few numbers and see if you can get some badly needed extra money for your Club. I have successfully applied a couple of times and while there is a good set of guidelines and a relatively easy application form, if there any questions or concerns give me call.

Topic: Membership requirements for an e-club. Whereas, Rotary international allows for the formation of 2 e-clubs in each district, and Whereas, the requirement to establish an e-club is 25 members and Whereas, a member cannot belong to more than one club at a time, and Whereas a number of members are away from their home clubs for extended periods of time (snowbirds), Therefore be it resolved that members be allowed to temporarily belong to a home club and an e-club for the pur-poses of establishing more e-clubs. And therefore allow these members to hold executive positions within the e-clubs providing they are not executive members of their home clubs. After a determined period of time (possibly 2 years), a member would decide to be-long to their home club, or to the e-club only. Purpose and Effect Statement: The purpose of this resolution is to allow existing members of a home club the op-portunity to assist in the establishment of an e-club. They would be able to hold executive positions while on leave, and assist in meeting the membership requirements of the e-club. Proposed by Rotary District 5360 and moved at the board meeting on November 18, 2011 Signature of District Governor D5360 Mike French. Moved and Seconded by the Rotary Club of Lethbridge at the board meeting on December 20, 2011. Signature of RC of Lethbridge John Hoopfer.

Congratulations Graduates! Congratulations to our 2nd cohort of Rotary Leadership Institute graduates in District 5360. These 15 Rotari-ans, all asp iring to become better leaders, signed up and part icipated in the three Calgary based Rot ary Leadership Institute learning modules that were offered this past fall. Throughout the program they worked in different teams to learn about and share best management practices in the areas of communication skills, team building, leadership strategies, membership recruitment and retention, strategic planning, public rela-tions, designing effective service projects and the Rotary Foundation.

The Rotary Leadership Institute was founded in 1992 to assist in improving Rotary knowledge and the lead-ership skills of the future leaders of our Rotary clubs and now operates in over 200 Districts worldwide. Dis-trict 5360 which joined the cause in 2009 now operates RL I Learning Centres in Ca lgary, Lethbridge, Medi-cine Hat and Red Deer. Trained and certified facilitators in each of these centres help gu ide the participants through the learning experience. Registration is simple - to register go on the District 5360 web site at http://www.clubrunner.ca/Portal/story/StoryDetail.aspx?accountid=50012&sid=12664&stid=District If this link doesn’t work, please copy it into your web browser. For inquiries about the RLI program in your area, please contact one of the following Rotarians; Calgary – Hank Popoff; popoffh@telusplanet.net Lethbridge – Fran Leggett; fdragonleth@gmail.com Medicine Hat – Doug Fleming; joandoug@telusplanet.net Red Deer – David Layden; david@itstvl.com If you or your cl ub is interested in developing and strengthening your club’s leadership capabilities, here is an opportunity that you can’t afford to miss. And, by encouraging your members to si gn on to RLI you wi ll also be helping the district meet its strategic priority of “developing leaders at the club level and beyond.” Here’s what Earl Huson, Past President Rotary Club of Calgary South and RLI graduate had to say, “The Ro-tary Leadership Institute provided me with an opportunity for great learning and skill building, assisting me in many areas such as goal setting , becoming a better l istener and team building. It provided me w ith a much better understanding of the relationship between Rotary International, our District, and the individual clubs, including responsibilities, expectations, integration, and how we support one another. “My understanding and support for all of Rotary's Avenues of Service went up five-fold as we must be bal-anced in our individual club programs. We all should be looking at our clubs with a crit ical eye on keeping what we do well and improving on wha t we do not do well, focus on m embership, community sup -port, fundraising, programs, goals, plan, etc. We did finali ze our Club Strategi c Plan and Mission State-ment in my year as President”. “The completion of the three segments of the RLI added much to my confidence and Rotary knowledge and I would highly recommend this program to other Rotarians.”

U of L Rotaract Club supports School Construction in World’s Newest and Poorest Nation 

The University of Lethbridge Rotaract Club  is excited  to announce  that  it will be hosting “Guir Ku Baai – Building Peace through Education”, its 7th Annual Dinner and Silent Auction on Saturday, February 4, 2012 in the Grand Ballroom at the Lethbridge Lodge.  Proceeds from the event will help build a school in South Sudan, the world’s newest, and poorest, na‐tion.   Current U of L Management student and Rotaractor, Anthony Makwach, was born during a prolonged civil war in what are now  the countries of Sudan and South Sudan, and was  raised  in nearby Kenya. He has  returned numerous  times  to his home community of Abouk since hostilities diminished in 2005.  “I went back to the South Sudan this past summer to cele‐brate the country’s independence, and to visit my family,” Anthony said. “I was so inspired, and at the same time heartbro‐ken, to see how the kids were struggling for their education. They had no school, and were taking classes under a tree. I built a  small  shelter with my own  funds, and came back  to Canada with  the  idea  for a project –  to build a building big enough for at least 600 elementary school children.”  The direct connection between Anthony, his family in Abouk, and the dedication of the community to build the school formed the basis for Rotaract’s support for this project.  Anthony’s family members in Abouk and area are builders, and the cost of materials will be offset by volunteer labour from the community.   South Sudan, as the world’s newest country,  is also the poorest – a majority of the 8 million citizens  live on  less than $1 (CDN) per day. Life expectancy and literacy rates are low, infant mortality rates are high, basic medical care is scarce, edu‐cation is difficult to obtain and the economy is unstable. Several international aid and development organizations are active in the country, but there remains a significant need for specific projects – such as the Rotaract Abouk School Project – that can help communities develop on their own.  The landlocked nation was officially recognized as an independent country in 2011 after years of civil war and an independence accord with Sudan that, in 2005, gave the region some autonomy.   The U of L Rotaract club would like to invite all Rotarians in our District, family, and friends, to this incredible event.  Tickets are $65 each, or $450 for a table of eight.  Students may purchase a ticket for $40.  Silent auction items, gifts‐in‐kind, and monetary donations are also appreciated.   Please contact rotaract@uleth.ca to purchase tickets or for additional  informa‐tion.  Thank you for your current and ongoing support of our Rotaract club!  A brief video presentation from Anthony is available at this website: http://vimeo.com/33668154.

"What Does a Rotary Club Do?" • Someone asked that question once, and I stood there feeling like a dunce! • What do our Rotarians do? I hemmed and hawed a time or two, • Then said, "We gather for a meal and ask each other how we feel • Get our food and have some fun, chattering till the meal is done • We get club business out of the way and have the program of the day • Some are good...and some are great! And ... some run on 'til fairly late" • But then my friend, he turned to go. "That wasn't" he said, "What I want to know." • I've thought a lot about this since... What could I possibly say to convince • My friend that Rotary does more than meet...greet...take a seat... then eat? • Well, this is how I would make amends, by explaining Rotary to my friends • Two billion children are healthy today, in lands both near and far away • Who otherwise might be lame...or dead, from polio...that childhood dread! • And hungry children are being fed, through better ways to grow their bread • Rotarians in many lands are teaching, and doctors of all kinds are reaching • Out to heal the sick and lame, with little thought for wealth or fame • And men and women are meeting the need, to teach little children how to read • Youth come here from every land, in answer to our outstretched hand • To learn to know us and know our ways, bringing peace and friendship to all our

days • And clubs are formed in every nation, for fellowship and conversation • For education and information, and practicing the cultivation • Of peace on earth, and goodwill to all, and a speedy end to every wall • Which separates the folk of earth and keeps us from seeing each other's worth • A hundred things there are to say about what Rotarians do each day • In every land and every town, to lift someone when they are down • And help each other along the way - Service Above Self - what more can I say? • Well, if my friend should ask again, I'll have another answer for him then!

A Message from the Desk of the Youth Exchange Committee Chair

Well, we’re now 6 months  into  this Rotary year and  it’s been interesting  to  say  the  least.  The  following  are  some  of  the things that you should be made aware of;  Barbara Kranjcec Our Inbound Student from Croatia has had a rough go of it for the past 6 weeks or so fighting her personal battle against Leu‐kemia. Although the prognosis for Barbara to beat this dreaded disease  is extremely positive  the  journey has had  its ups and downs.  I am happy  to  report  that  I managed  to have a  short visit with Barbara yesterday (December 29th) and I think she  is turning the corner. She was showing some colour in her cheeks, was smiling and even managed to chow down on some McDon‐ald’s fries. Her parents who have been by her side for the past month  are  hopeful  that  she will  be  stable  enough  for  all  of them  to  head  back  home  by  the middle  of  January.  Barbara asked me  to say “hello”  to all of her Youth Exchange buddies and wishes  them all  the best  for  their  remaining  time here  in Canada. Barbara is quite impressed with the staff and the care she  has  received while  at  Alberta  Children’s  Hospital  and  to recognize  their efforts she has set up a donation web page.  If you would  like  to show your support and donate to Barbara’s cause please go to the following web link  http://www.childrenshospital.ab.ca/site/TR/Events/General?pg=fund&fr_id=1050&pxfid=2550. As of December 30th a  little over $9,000 has been raised ‐ please help her reach her goal of $20,000 by making a generous donation today!  Outbound Orientation By now all of the clubs who have indicated they will be partici‐pating  in  the 2012‐13  YEX program have  identified  their out‐bound exchange student candidates. They will begin a series of orientation  sessions  aimed  at  preparing  them  for  their  year‐long cultural adventure in another country. Here is a list of the orientation  sessions, dates and  locations. Clubs  can expect  to receive more information on each session shortly.  Session   Date     Location          1    January 21  Marlborough Community Centre,          Calgary    2    March 2‐4  Greenwood Inn, Calgary    3    April 28  Marlborough Community Centre  Upcoming YEX Student Events Winterfest               January 27‐29th YEX Inbound International Dinner “ShelterBox” Fundraiser   February 11th Communications Support  We are still looking for someone who is experienced in commu‐nications to join the YEX Committee, someone who can help us with our communications and PR efforts,  including the web.  If you feel so inclined please give me a call at 403‐271‐0939. 

Remember For all of the latest District 5360 Youth Exchange program infor‐mation please be sure to check out: http://www.yex5360.org/  Rotary’s  Youth  Exchange  program  supports  Rotary  Interna‐tional’s goal of building world peace – we just do it one student at a time.  Rick Istead Chair, Rotary District 5360 YEX Committee 

“The main advantage of the community-based Rotaract club is that it covers the full age range from 18 to 30, leaving plenty of time for Rotaractors to develop sufficiently so they might eventually become mem-bers of Rotary.” – Martin H.F. Bridge, Rotary Club of South Hol-land, Lincolnshire, England; chair, RI Rotaract and Interact Commit-tee; past governor, District 1280

"When I managed a Rotaract club, I learned to motivate people, to lead a team, to build relationships with other professionals like Ro-tarians, to manage a budget, and to develop personal skills like public

speaking and leadership." – Al-berto Cecchini, Rotary Club of Golfo d’Anzio-Anzio e Nettuno, Italy; past governor, District 2080

"The real difference came when our Rotaract club and our sponsor Rotary club became true collabora-tors in service, working together to

create projects." – Joanna Kwong, Rotaract Club of Berkeley, Cali-fornia, USA; former Interactor

Participants in 23 countries joined the “New Generations: A Closer Look” webinar this month to hear advice from three Ro-tarians and a Rotaractor on how to make Rotaract and Interact clubs the best they can be. Here are a few of the tips and observa-tions they shared:
