I am fre-quently asked by Rotarians throughout the District “How can I help with the Sandy disaster relief?” There are many ways and I’ll just list a few

for you to consider below: Consider donating non perish-able food. After the holidays, dona-tions have dropped off significantly and there are still many many people who rely on a church, food kitchen, or some organization to supply them with a hot meal. Lots of folks had the first floor of their homes com-pletely destroyed and that’s where you would normally find the kitch-en. They may be living in the second floor but they are without the facili-ties to prepare their meals. You can deliver your donation to facilities in your area, or, you could go directly to the Rotary Distribution Center located at CVR, 15 Meridian Road, Eatontown, NJ 07724. Here’s the phone number to check that they are open when you plan to deliver: 732-544-1800. Russell Anderson, our District Disaster Relief Chair and Area Governor is the CEO of CVR and oversees distribution of goods. You should feel free to send victims

to the Eatontown site for assistance. Currently, there are dehumidifiers, portable heaters, cleaning supplies, new coats/sweaters/socks for men, women, children, and a variety of food products and paper goods along with comforters and afghans. It is possible, depending on availabil-ity, to find furniture, appliances and other household goods as well. Consider volunteering your time to help rebuild damaged homes. In the city of Union Beach over 300 homes washed away and 1880 of the remaining 2,000 homes need exten-sive repairs in order for families to live in them again. If you are able to hang sheetrock and install insu-lation, call Jennifer Maier, Union Beach Town Administrator at 732-264-3026 at least one day before reporting to work. You will be as-signed a specific house to repair. The necessary materials will be waiting for you at the designated location assigned. On the day of your work-ing, report to the Boro Hall, 650 Poole Avenue, Union Beach to sign a hold harmless clause before 9am. The work day is 9am-4pm Monday-Saturday. Just last week a team of Rotarians from Raleigh, North Carolina, Ro-tary District 7710, under the leader-ship of PDG Mack Parker arrived on Monday, Februrary 4 and worked through Thursday night, departing ahead of the snow on February 8, Friday morning. They were able to

enclose one home with insulation and sheetrock so the family was able to return and use the kitchen. It should be mentioned that District 7710 has contributed over $8,000 toward the purchase of the building materials. It costs $820 for insula-tion and sheetrock for an average size house of approximately 1,200 square feet. These men slept on air mattresses at the United Methodist Church in Hazlet where the church women served them a hearty hot dinner each night. I have never seen a more dedicated devoted group of workers. Their building efforts were truly an act of love for humanity in the best Rotarian manner. They were very proud, as they should be, of their accomplishments.I am proud of their efforts. There are many Rotarians who have said to me, “I used to be a carpenter.” Here is your opportunity to lend a hand and help in a much needed way. A district in PA is pro-

Helen Curulli, Jackson Rotary Club and PFC Guzman

In December 2012, our club sec-retary, Helen Cerulli, met a young woman, Lorie Salas-Guzman. Lo-rie’s husband, PFC Daniel Guzman, had been deployed to Afghanistan in March 2012 and would not be home for Christmas. Helen suggested to the club members that we purchase Christmas presents for Lorie and Daniel’s two children, Eric 16 and Layla 4. Eric’s passion is video games and Layla is into Disney princess dolls, games and toys. The gifts were purchased and presented to Lorie several weeks prior to Christmas. We learned from Lorie that both children were thrilled with their gifts and that Daniel was very grateful to our club. On Tuesday, February 5, 2013, the Rotary Club of Jackson was paid a surprise visit by PFC Daniel Guzman, who had recently returned from Afghanistan. As a token of his appreciation, PFC Guzman presented us with a United States flag, together with a framed certificate which reads “Let It Be Known That This Flag of the United States of America Was proudly flown in Honor of Jackson Rotary

Project Little Soldier in JacksonENDICOTT ROTARY FOUNDATION HELPS THE JERSEY SHORE President, John Karedes from the Endicott Rotary Foundation contacted Richard Schmidt, Sec-retary of the Spring Lake Brielle Rotary Club. Upon dealing with the effects of Hurricane Irene in 2011 he knew what our area was facing after Super Storm Sandy. He wanted to lend a hand and generously donated $1500.00 to our club. Our club board approved matching that dona-tion and together we donated $1500.00 to 2 area churches. These 2 churches have been providing meals and serving as a distribution center. They have been a source of comfort to our community. We sincerely ap-preciate and thank the Endicott Rotary Foundation. Gloria SzynalPresidentSpring Lake Brielle Rotary Club

Dear Rotarians, Happy New Year! The last several weeks have been exciting for Rotary and polio eradication, and we’ve seen significant Rotary recognition in news media around the globe -- including a cover story on the international edition of TIME Magazine. As we kick-off a new calendar year, here are some of the important feature stories you can share. Also included are some key social media statistics and news about a new contribution to PolioPlus from PhRMA, the pharmaceutical trade organization, enabling Rotary to receive a donation for every photo uploaded to the World’s Biggest Commercial. If you haven’t already, please join today at www.endpolionow.org. We have received thousands of photos from over 110 countries.

TIME Magazine – January 3, 2013 (attached)Polio eradication is featured as the cover story in the international edition. The story includes significant mentions of Rotary's key role in the initiative throughout the article including: --"A lot of the progress that's been made so far is due to the efforts of Rotary International, which in 1979- the year polio was declared eradicated in the U.S.- decided to make it the mission of its then 18,000 clubs and 850,000 members worldwide to wipe out the disease everywhere." --"Rotary and other groups calculate that $1 billion spent per year over the next few years to extinguish the last fugitive strains of polio could save up to $50 billion over the next 20 years..." -- "The Sabin formulation costs less than 20c and can be administered with just two drops. 'You could train people to do this,' says Dr. John Sever, vice chair of Rotary's international antipolio drive. 'If they could count to two, they could be an immunizer.' --"In 2012, WHO dramatically increased its presence in the country, from 744 workers to 2,948. It is also using satellite mapping to reach children in villages that, says John Hewko, general secretary of Rotary International, 'we didn't even know existed.'" --"Rotary, WHO and the other groups had hoped to have halted transmission in all three endemic countries by the end of 2012. Now they acknowledge they will have to continue intensively vaccinating in 2013, especially during the comparatively cool months when the virus is weakest." Read the online article here and see the attached for the full story/international cover.

TIME Magazine – January 13, 2013 India’s successful battle against polio was featured in TIME and positions Rotary as the leader in the global eradication effort (see one excerpt below): -- “Understanding how a country so huge, so diverse and so poor managed to stop polio transmission offers important lessons both for the complicated international effort to eradicate the disease for good and for India’s own health care system. The oral polio vaccine was introduced in India in 1978, a year before the U.S. was declared polio-free. In 1985, Rotary International launched its global effort to end polio everywhere. India was a signatory to the 1988 WHO treaty committing participating nations to be part of that effort.” Click here to read the full story.

David C. Forward, DGND

Introducing David C. Forward, DGND, to District 7500 Rotarians. David was born and educated in England. He became a Rotarian in 1978 after moving to the United States. In his career as a writer and professional speaker he traveled the world, and he just finished his 11th book, Foundation of Hope. The centennial history of The Rotary Foundation. Several of his other books either hit the best-seller list or went into multiple printings, and all deal with either volunteerism or ethical business practices. David will be familiar to many Rotarians through Frank Talk, which he wrote for Past RI President Frank Devlyn—the fastest-selling book in Rotary history. Eight years after it was released, Frank Talk has sold over 100,000 copies and has been translated into Spanish, Turkish, Korean, Portuguese, Mandarin, Italian and Vietnamese. Past-President Frank and David collaborated on four follow-up books called Frank Talk II, Frank Talk on The Rotary Foundation, Frank Talk on Leadership, and Frank Talk on Public Speak-ing —together the fastest-selling books in Rotary’s history. After reviewing a global line-up of professional writers, a blue-chip panel of Rotary International officers unanimously selected David Forward to be the author of the official history book of Rotary in time for its centennial year. That book, A Century of Service, was released in 2004 and has earned praise from Rotarians the world over, literally selling out every one of the 35,000 first-edition copies that RI produced. As a professional speaker, David delivers keynote addresses to Rotary district conferences and zone insti-tutes all over the world and he has twice been asked to speak at Rotary International conventions. David’s passion is volunteerism, and has initiated and led humanitarian work trips across America and to the Dominican Republic and Beirut. He has served his church as deacon, elder, and mission com-mittee chairman. As a Rotarian for 34 years, he served three times as club president, as well as district conference chairman, district membership development chairman, NJ Vocational Assembly chairman, and District PolioPlus chairman, for which the president of Rotary International awarded him the Citation for Meritorious Service. As a team leader, David’s membership development committee helped his district (then D.7640) attain an 11% net membership increase, and he has helped charter three new Rotary clubs in New Jersey and Romania. As District Conference chairman, the district had an all-time record of 1,309 attendees. In 1991, David founded International Children’s Aid Foundation and serves as its president. The all- volunteer foundation has its own orphanage, dental and medical clinics in Romania and has taught hundreds of abandoned children early childhood education, vocational training and life skills. David hosts several groups of volunteers each year who go to Romania on short term mission trips. In 2005, the 1.2-million member National Association of Realtors presented David with its Good Neighbor Award for his humanitarian efforts to orphaned children. The Burlington-Camden County Association of Realtors named David “Realtor of the Year” in 2011, and South Jersey Magazine has just featured him in its “Man of the Year” article. David is a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty and lives in Medford, NJ with his wife, fellow Rotarian, Chris and their son, David, a junior at Cornell University. David will be Governor of District 7500 in 2015-2016. We shall all look forward to his leadership and vast knowledge as we all work together for an improved Rotary World. Welcome Aboard, David!

Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund Rolls Out Online Grant Application to Aid in Long Term RecoveryNon-Profit Organizations Operating in New Jersey Sandy Relief Efforts Encouraged to Apply (Mendham, NJ) – The Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund announced today it has launched an online grant application accessible to any non-profit organization providing disaster relief services in New Jersey. The Fund will place a priority on four focus areas, including housing assistance, social services, financial and legal aid, and econom-ic development. The deadline for the current grant cycle is March 15th, and the application can be accessed on the Fund’s website at www.SandyNJReliefFund.org. The grants expected to be awarded during this cycle have a target allocation of $5 million. The State of New Jersey, the Council of New Jersey Grantmakers and other state networks will assist in alerting non-profits from around the state about today’s announcement. “There are so many worthy organizations on the ground day in and day out providing critical services to those in need in the hardest hit areas around New Jersey. They want and can do more with greater financial support. We are proud to partner with them and are looking forward to efficiently disbursing funding that will help the long-term recovery effort in this state,” said First Lady Mary Pat Christie, Chair of the Fund. “We’ve focused on these four pri-ority areas after an extensive needs analysis collaborating with national and local disaster experts, first responders and government agencies. As has been said before, New Jersey will come back stronger but it will take time. That’s why our Fund will continue to be a resource in the months and years ahead.” Grant eligibility requirements and a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) page covering the process are available on the Fund’s website. For example, applicants must be a 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit, overhead costs will be limited to just ten percent, and start-ups will be considered if the project being considered fits into the HSNJRF mission and focus areas. Groups that are headquartered out-of-state, but are active in the New Jersey recovery effort, are also eligible to apply. The minimum grant request is $10,000. In December, the Fund allocated $1 million to county-based Long Term Recovery Committees (LTRCs). Per FEMA recommendations, LTRCs are created in the wake of a disaster to coordinate community-based organizations, non-profits, business groups and others to aid in the recovery effort long after immediate relief organizations like the Red Cross and FEMA have left the area. The Fund's competitive and transparent grant process will track all distributed dollars from start to finish, ensuring applicants are delivering the promised assistance to families and communities according to their approved proposals. DONATION INFORMATIONDonors interested in making a contribution can visit the Fund online at www.SandyNJReliefFund.org, or by mail-ing a check made payable to the "Hurricane Sandy NJ Relief Fund": Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief FundPO Box 6200Merrifield, VA 22116-6200 General correspondence to the Fund can be sent via US mail to PO Box 95, Mendham NJ 07945-0095.

For the Counties of Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Essex, Gloucester, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Passaic, Salem, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren; and for Economic Injury Only the contiguous county of New Castle in the State of Delaware; contiguous counties of Bronx, New York, Orange, Rockland and Westchester in the State of New York; and contiguous counties of Bucks, Delaware, Monroe, Northampton, Philadelphia and Pike in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

Application Filing Deadlines:

Physical Damage: March 1, 2013 Economic Injury: July 31, 2013

Whether you rent or own your own home, own your own business, or own a small agricultural cooperative located in a declared disaster area, and are the victim of a disaster, you may be eligible for financial assistance from the U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA). What Types of Disaster Loans are Available?

Home Disaster Loans – Loans to homeowners or renters to repair or replace disaster-damaged real estate or personal property owned by the victim. Renters are eligible for their personal property losses, including automobiles.

Business Physical Disaster Loans – Loans to businesses to repair or replace disaster-damaged property owned by the business, including real estate, inventories, supplies, machinery and equipment. Businesses of any size are eligible. Private, non-profit organizations such as charities, churches, private universities, etc., are also eligible.

Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) – Working capital loans to help small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture, and most private, non-profit organizations of all sizes meet their ordinary and necessary financial obligations that cannot be met as a direct result of the disaster. These loans are intended to assist through the disaster recovery period.

EIDL assistance is available only to entities and their owners who cannot provide for their own recovery from non-government sources, as determined by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

What are the Credit Requirements?

Credit History – Applicants must have a credit history acceptable to SBA.

Repayment – Applicants must show the ability to repay all loans.

Collateral – Collateral is required for physical loss loans over $14,000 and all EIDL loans over $5,000. SBA takes real estate as collateral when it is available. SBA will not decline a loan for lack of collateral, but requires you to pledge what is available.

What are the Interest Rates? By law, the interest rates depend on whether each applicant has Credit Available Elsewhere. An applicant does not have Credit Available Elsewhere when SBA determines the applicant does not have sufficient funds or other resources, or the ability to borrow from non-government sources, to provide for its own disaster recovery. An applicant, which SBA determines to have the ability to provide for his or her own recovery is deemed to have Credit Available Elsewhere. Interest rates are fixed for the term of the loan. The interest rates applicable for this disaster are: No Credit Available Credit Available Elsewhere Elsewhere Home Loans 1.688% 3.375% Business Loans 4.000% 6.000% Non-Profit Organization Loans 3.000% 3.125%

The goal of this ongoing service project is to provide money to needy families at Christmas time, so that parents will have funds to buy presents for their children. The Willingboro Rotary Club received hundreds of letters re-questing assistance from the BCT. Rotarian volunteers met three nights a week from late November to mid-December.They evaluated these letters to see that they met the program criteria and mailed checks to the needy recipients. The total amount distributed since the programs inception in 1975 is $2.7 million dollars.
