Rotary Club of Berhampur

An eventful Service to the NewGeneration Month has completed inStyle.

After an arduous and successful gamut of the youth

activities in the all important service to the new

generation month with every activity being prudently

maneuvered, the director PP Rtn. Biswaranjan P

deserves to be complemented for leading all the way

but more than that Chairman Rtn. Mihir is worthy of a

special accolade for showing conscientiousness in

fulfilling every activity in great style and strength. His

apt choosing of the vibrant chairmen for every activity

is laudable. Rtn. Gopi A for the drawing competition,

Rtn.Partha T for the youth merit award, Rtn. Ajay V for

the Young Singer competition, Rtn. Srinivas P for the

Young Musician competition, Rtn.Anil A for the debate

competition, Rtn. Vijay B for the Spell bee, Rtn.

Balkrishna S, Rtn. Mihir himself keeping the portfolio

for the Marathon, and our Hony. Secy. Rtn. Murli for the

varied completions at the Red Cross School of Blinds led

by the Prez. Rtn. Bablu E needs to be acknowledged for

their whole hearted effort and support for organizing all

the events in great splendor and fashion. Our own

members too should be admired for extending all possible

help specially the judges and sponsors for their acumen

and generosity. The member through Chilka put their

hands together for a promising and spine chilling youth

activity month. Keeping that momentum on we should

now focus our attention on the vocational service month.

The Director Rtn. Rajesh C has an important role to play

through his committee chairmen in order to stay at par

or even excel better than the preceding youth events.

Rtn. Rajesh is equally competent and assiduous as well.

Let’s hope he displays his best rendition. Now it’s about

to impress you on the Vocational Service.

AN INTRODUCTIO TO VOCATIONALSERVICEAll of us actively practiced vocational service before we

became Rotarians, or else we would not be in Rotary. We

were selected because our club friends were convinced

that we are competent, trustworthy, fair and honest

people. All we need to do is to maintain the faith our

fellow Rotarians have placed in us by precept.

We all know that Membership in Rotary is based on a

member’s vocation, with each club striving to create a

microcosm of its community’s business and professional

world. This unique feature provides the source for

Rotary’s historic commitment to vocational service, the

second of Rotary’s four Avenues of Service. Through

vocational service, Rotarians are expected to adhere to

and promote high ethical standards in all their business

dealings, recognize the worthiness of all useful

occupations, and contribute their professional expertise

and skills to addressing societal problems and needs.

The club and its members share responsibility for

promoting vocational service. Each club should develop

projects that allow members to use their business and

professional skills. Members are expected to contribute

to these projects and to conduct their own business

dealings in accordance with Rotary principles.

R I P RO G R A M S include

The practice of Four-Way Test

Of the things we think, say or do:

1) Is it the TRUTH?

2) Is it FAIR to all concerned?

3) Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

4) Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

And the Declaration of Rotarians in Businesses and

Professions — provide a road map for practicing ethical

behavior in the workplace and other areas of life.

Program Next Week (12th Oct.2012) : Audio Visual Presentation on “BREAST CANCER” – Can we prevent it?.

One Rotary Center VocationalService focuses on:• Adhering to and promoting the highest ethical

standards in all occupations

• Recognizing the value of all useful occupations, not

just those that are pursued by Rotarians

• Contributing one’s vocational talents to meeting the

needs of the community

During October, Our club has a tradition of laying focus

on this important avenue of Rotary service. We will

consider dedicating at least one meeting to discussing

Vocational Service and plan a project or other activity

to carry out through the year. Some more suggested

activities for our club to consider:

• Devote the first meeting in October to examining

Vocational Service, including The Four-Way Test and the

Rotary Code of Conduct. After expanding members’

awareness, solicit their input in planning projects for

the remainder of the year.

• Introduce a “classification talk” series in which each

member gives a five-minute talk on his or her vocation.

These presentations give members the chance to learn

the inner workings of jobs other than their own, including

the various problems that arise and the solutions used

to address them.

• Present a vocational award to someone in the

community who has exemplified outstanding professional

achievement and high ethical standards. Promote the

presentation in the community, and consider making it

an annual event each October.

• Help young people prepare for their careers by

sponsoring a character building project, career day, job

shadowing day, or mentorship program.

Support professional development in the community by

sponsoring a professional networking event or workshop,

or start a career counseling program to help unemployed

or underemployed adults compete in the job market.

• Have club members volunteer their vocational skills

on a community or international service project. Many

volunteer opportunities can be found on ProjectLINK, an

online database that allows Rotary clubs to publicize

projects in need of assistance.

October 2 International Dayof Non-ViolenceThe International Day of Non-Violence is observed on 2

October, the birthday of Mohandas Gandhi. This day is

referred to in India as Gandhi Jayanti.

In January 2004, Iranian Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi had

taken a proposal for an International Day of Non-Violence

from a Hindi teacher in Paris teaching international

students to the World Social Forum in Bombay. The idea

gradually attracted the interest of some leaders of India's

Congress Party ("Ahimsa Finds Teen Voice", The

Telegraph, Calcutta) until a Satyagraha Conference

resolution in New Delhi in January 2007 initiated by Sonia

Gandhi and

Archbishop

D e s m o n d

Tutu called

upon the

U n i t e d

Nations to

adopt the

idea.

On 15 June

2007 the

United Nations General Assembly voted to establish 2

October as the International Day of Non-Violence.The

resolution by the General Assembly asks all members of

the UN system to commemorate 2 October in "an

appropriate manner and disseminate the message of

non-violence, including through education and public

awareness."

The United Nations Postal Administration in New York

City prepared a special cachet to commemorate this

event, following a request from the Indian Ambassador

at the Permanent Mission of India to the UN. The boxed

pictorial cachet design was prepared by the UNPA and

was limited to cancellation at UNPA's NY location (not

Geneva and Vienna). The UNPA has indicated that all

outgoing UNPA mail between October 2 and 31 carried

the cachet. Information on various philatelic material

carrying this cachet is summarized at a website dedicated

to Gandhi philately and can be accessed here.

Gandhi’s legacy lives on From Rabindranath Tagore to

Mohandas Gandhi to Amartya Sen, great Indian minds

have addressed the necessity of holistic education for

peace and personal development. This century-long

legacy is reflected in the goals of a new UNESCO

Institute.

CASE STUDY---Rtn.PP.V.V.R.N.Rao

You are a senior level officer in a company.

A former employee of your company, who was fired due

to poor quality work, absences, and lateness related to

his drinking problem, informs you that he has applied

for a position at another company and has already given

your name as a reference. He desperately needs a job

(he is the only person, capable of earning in the family.),

and he asks you to give him a good recommendation

and not mention his drinking, which he assures you is

now under control.

He also asks you to say that he voluntarily
