A MESSAGE FROM

DISTRICT GOVERNOR, JACK ARNEY

Do you know when the first Rotary meeting was held?

Those of you who guessed February 23, 1905 are correct. The anniver-

sary of this special day in our history is celebrated this month.

February is also Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution Month, so

it is a very special month.

We are now more than half way through our year of Being the Inspira-

tion to our communities. During this month we can focus on doing

something that brings more understanding and peace in our world.

How will you honor the idea of peace this special month?

* Will you consider bring in an RYE student next year, or the year after?

* Will you embark on an international project to bring clean water, medical equipment,

help alleviate hinger or find a club somewhere else who could use your help?

* Will you consider forming a relationship with a sister club some place else in the Rotary

world to exchange cultural ideas and possibly visit them or engage in a joint project.?

* Is there some way your club can help educate or support a program that focuses on stop

ping domestic violence or bullying in schools?

* Will you commit yourself or club to assisting the district Human Trafficking project to

help end domestic and international sex trafficking?

There are many ways we can all make small contributions to promoting peace as Rotarians and

Rotary clubs, and there is no better time than this month to put our focus and energy to this

worthy endeavor. This is the birth month of this great organization that fosters peace daily in our

clubs through our fellowship and connection to those we honor and the projects we work on in our

communities and abroad.

Let’s all be the Inspiration for peace!

Yours In Rotary,

DG Jack

Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution Month

Rotary International’s Peace component can be confusing. How is “peace” defined in the Rotary dic-

tionary? Does it mean we want Rotarians to go to Afghanistan and negotiate peace with the Taliban?

I think it is safe to say that most Rotarians wouldn’t volunteer to be on that committee. However,

the regional and local conflicts around the world have underscored the need for professionals skilled

at creating peace.

ROTARY PEACE CENTERS

Rotary created the Rotary Peace Centers in 2002 to identify highly qualified professionals to become

agents of peace. Six Rotary Peace Centers are located in Universities around the world. The Rotary

Peace Fellows complete a rigorous program applied to areas related to peace and conflict resolution.

The Fellowships cover tuition and fees, room and board, round trip transportation and all intern-

ship and field-study expenses. The Peace Center programs are made possible through the generous

support of a relatively small group of Rotarians.

Since 2002, the Rotary Peace Centers have trained over 1000 fellows for careers in peace building.

Many of them are serving as leaders of international organization or have started their own founda-

tions.

Each year the Rotary Foundation awards

50 fellowships for master’s degrees and

50 for certificate studies.

The master’s program lasts 15 to 24

months. The certificate program lasts 3

months with 3 weeks field study.

Rotary Peace Fellows study in Peace Cen-

ters in countries other than their own.

Peace Centers: Follow Rotary Peace Cen-

ters on Facebook

We have Rotarians in our district who are promoting peace by making our community

and the world a better place through their own foundations and non-profits. Some of

these incredible people are highlighted in the next 3 pages.

LIGHT THE WORLD

Kwame Acquaah (Passport One Rotary) or Dr. Kwame as he

is commonly known, can be described as a man who exempli-

fies leadership and is passionate about the well being of others

and the environment. His passion for helping others has been a

driving force in his vision and effort to create and lead the

Trans-Atlantic Environmental Inc. Light The World Campaign.

It is a non-profit organization whose mission has been the pro-

motion of clean and sustainable energy and the message of sal-

vation in remote villages of Ghana. The organization donates

free solar lights and books to select villages each year. Kwame

goes to Ghana every 6 months to oversee the operation of his

organization.

Kwame is the Chair of the District’s Peace Committee. He believes there is hope to improve condi-

tions in Ghana as they forge forward to a better Ghana—forward forever...never backward…

AFRICA HOPE FUND

Carol Van Bruggen (Point West) and Steve Kuhn first

traveled to Zambia in 2001 and were so moved by the ex-

perience of meeting the people and observing the wild-

life, they started Africa Hope Fund in 2008. The mission

of Africa Hope Fund is to promote conservation through

education and support organizations that work to pro-

tect wildlife and natural resources in Africa.

With an initial grant from Point West Rotary, they have

built classrooms and libraries for 2 schools; sponsored many children to go to secondary schools and

college, provided funds to support detection dogs in the national park and fund local ,scouting pa-

trols who catch and arrest poachers who are killing animals for ivory, rhino horn, bush meat and oth-

er animal parts. This is just to name a few accomplishments over the past ten years. They have taken

groups, including many Rotarians, on safari each year who experienced the wonder of this amazing

part of the world The next open trip is August 2019. www.africahopefund.org

MISSION SISTAH’S

Mission Sistahs, Inc. was created over four years ago. Roxanne

Snyder (Passport One) and Sonya Aitchison, co-founders,

first met in 2011 while on a mission trip to Cambodia working

with an organization helping girls that have been sold into sex

trafficking trade. Since then these two committed women have:

Co-led a team to Joplin, Mo to help with rebuilding efforts in

2012; traveled to Haiti to work with Mission of Hope in local vil-

lages with families in 2014; gone to Peru to work with Global

Missions in the Amazon jungle completing

the building of a church in one village and

doctors/nurses quarters in another; they went to Vietnam to work with the

Habitat of Humanity in 2016; went to Puerto Rico with Global Missions to as-

sist with re-building efforts after Hurricane Maria in 2018; refurbished a room

for a local nonprofit that houses and supports families leaving a violent envi-

ronment in 2018; packaged food for Feed My Starving Children and donated

money to a hungry family in 2018 . They have been approved as a Community

Partner with Bomba socks. www.missionsistahs.s150714.gridserver.com

FAMILY GREEN SURVIVAL

Gopal Kapur (Roseville Rotary) founded Family Green Survival.

Gopal believes that hunger in America is not acceptable. He says

that the most convenient, and most advertised food is not nutri-

tious. Add to this problem is the massive quantity of highly pro-

cessed food distributed to people in need.

The mission of his nonprofit is to provide nutritious meals to those

who are hungry in our community. He does this through his BagOf-

Life program. He has developed nutritious meals under the guid-

ance of medical professionals The BagOfLife contains four nutri-

tious, tasty and easy to prepare meals. The meals are distributed

free of cost to under-served communities through regional food banks, public service organizations

and college/university food pantries. To prepare meals, people simply boil water, add he contents of

the package and cook. For more information go to: www.familygreensurvival.org

It is not the duration of your life...rather it is the donation of it. Mission Sistahs

THE TEICHERT FOUNDATION

PDG Fred Teichert (Sacramento Rotary) was the founder of the

Teichert Foundation in 1990. The Foundation makes grants to organi-

zations that create beauty, foster culture, nurture children, provide ac-

cess to food and housing to those in need, preserve nature, increase

awareness of our environment, build an educated citizenry and a well-

prepared workforce and strive to provide better health for all. The

Foundation uses these areas of interest as criteria for awarding grants.

The intent is to award grants in the range of $3,000 to $7,500. The an-

nual grants budget s $400,000.

The Foundation also has an employee matching grant program. The

Foundation recognizes that the employees support community organizations, and the Employee

Matching Grant program helps give a little extra funding to those groups. They match the employee

donation us to $250 to give support to agencies the employees feel strongly about.

There is an extensive list of organizations that have received grants from the Teichert Foundation

on their website. www.teichert.com

EAST AFRICAN VILLAGE OUTREACH

Seifu Ibssa (Passport One) is the Co-Founder and Executive Director

of East African Village Outreach. It is a non denominational faith based

organization that helps people in Ethiopia/Kenya. They seek to improve

living condition in rural East African villages to enable people to over-

come issues that contribute to chronic impoverishment. They use a ho-

listic approach to improve health, expand education, improve self-

sufficiency and provide hope for the next generation.

Some of their projects include developing a water spring in Ajo, Ethio-

pia to increase the flow of water from a local spring into a delivery system. They partnered with the

Tree Foundation of Ethiopia and distributed thousands of indigenous tree seedlings and 2400

grafted apple fruit trees to farmers in Acheber, Ethiopia. Seifu is especially proud of the work EAVO

has done in education. So far, they have built 2 elementary schools and one high school. The high

school was in partnership with the Ethiopian government. They have also helped 53 students attend

college and graduate.

Their mission is to develop a trusting working relationship with people in rural village areas

through humanitarian efforts. www.eavo.org

CARMICHAEL ROTARIANS BRING CLEAN WATER

TO 10,000 PEOPLE IN UGANDA

In late 2015, the Rotary Club of Carmichael embarked on a

project that would affect the lives of thousands of people living in

Uganda.. The group learned about the rural village in Iyolwa,

Uganda named Poyemi through the presentation from club

member, Richard Olebe. Olebe described Poyemi as a place

where villagers spent an average of four to five hours per day

walking to and from their primary water source. Most of the

time, nearby water sources (like a river or a swamp) can be con-

taminated. Contaminated water is a big problem in the area.

Young girls walking so many hours every day to fetch water for

their families has an effect of keeping them out of school. It is

also a disease problem.

Richard Olebe was born and raised in Uganda. He came to the U.S. and has worked for the Cali-

fornia Department of Water Resources for 25 years. He has lived in Carmichael for 35 years.

Richard told the club the wells in the area were shallow and not deep enough to get to clean water.

He proposed a project of building five 200-foot wells in an area where people were living with con-

taminated water. Richard estimated that five wells that are 200 feet deep and 3 big water tanks

would fit the needs of 10,000

Olebe, who holds an engineering degree from the University of Nairobi and two master’s degrees

from Stanford, spoke on the life changing benefits these wells would create.

Richard estimated five wells might cost $80,000; Water storage tanks-$80,000; water and distri-

bution lines-$25,ooo and spare parts $15,000. The total was $2000,000 and he added that it

would take 3 years for completion.

The club agreed that this was a

project worth taking, but how

could they raise the funds?

Their plan to raise the money needed

for the project was to allocate $4,000

to $5,000 of club funds and go to

other clubs in the district for commit-

ments to help. The next step would be

to use matching grants to reach the

goal.

CARMICHAEL INSPIRES OTHERS TO SUPPORT

THEIR WATER WELLS PROJECT

INSPIRE

On December 5, 2018, the project was completed with the final installation of fencing and testing of

all the solar-powered submersible pumps associated with each well. The project cost over $200,000

and took three years to finish. The Rotary clubs that participated in the project with Carmichael in-

clude: Arden-Arcade; Auburn Sunset; Sacramento; East Sacramento; Endwell, New York; Folsom;

Granite Bay; Point West; Rancho Cordova Sunrise; South Sacramento and Tororo Uganda Clubs.

The project commissioning took place at Poyemi on December 15th with Project Chair Richard

Olebe and immediate past Carmichael Rotary President Richard Bauer in attendance at

the ceremony.

The wells now serve approximately 10,000 people and have the potential to output over 7,000 gal-

lons of water per hour. They drilled a total of five wells and each had its own solar powered pump.

Three wells were at schools and two in villages

By changing the availability of water, the Carmichael Rotary Club’s water wells project has had a

have a profound impact on people’s lives in Poyemi.

THE ROTARY VAN

The Rotary van has been on the road for 3 years and has racked up 18,739 miles with many more

years of service in its future. It is primarily used for transportation, but it also serves as a traveling

billboard that publicizes Rotary to thousands of people who have never heard of us before. The van

is used for a variety of purposes that help both the community and Rotary.

It is a 2013 Chevy Express Passenger van that was purchased in 2015 for a cost of $25,000 with

$13,000 coming from three clubs. The Rotary Club of Arden-Arcade initiated the purchase

with the Carmichael and Point West Clubs joining them. (Arden-Arcade ($6,000) Point West

($4,000) Carmichael $3,000) . The remainder of $12,000 was received from a district grant .

The van is used by the Fulton-El Camino Recre-

ation and Park District ,the Mission Oaks Rec-

reation and Park District and the Sheriff’s Com-

munity Impact Program to transport youth to

the many outing they have throughout the year.

It has made a difference in kids being able to

attend sporting events, field trips, camping trips

and any other activities that happens outside

the park areas,

The van holds 12 passengers with plenty of extra

room left for back packs or other gear the kids

bring with them.

It is parked in the gated Fulton-El Camino yard,

and they are responsible for any maintenance

that the van requires.

The van is also used by the three sponsoring

clubs as well as the district for events like

P.E.T.S. and district conferences.

There is a site where authorized users can re-

serve the van for a specific day and time. The

reservations are on a first-come-first-served ba-

sis . Each group that uses the van has to have

their own insurance.

It doesn’t take a special license to drive the van,

as long as there are only 12 passengers. Every-

one who drives it has to have a background

check and have a clean driving record.

So far, the Rotary van has run smoothly as has

the system that everyone follows to use it. It’s a

win-win for everyone involved and a source of

pride for all of us.

Eat your heart out Vin Diesel, you’re going to

have to find another hot rod for Fast and Furi-

ous 9. This one is taken.

PRESIDENT’S DAY

FEBRUARY 18th

INSPIRE

George Washington’s Birthday is celebrated the third Monday of every February. His birthday was

actually February 22nd, but that doesn’t always fall on a Monday, so we fudge a little on the date.

(Sorry George, but moving your birthday to the third Monday of the month means we all get a three

day weekend. Besides, how else could RC Willey have their three day mattress sale if we celebrated

in the middle of the week?)

The day was popularly recognized as honoring the birthdays of both Washington and Abraham

Lincoln who was born on February 12th. Today, many consider it a day to honor all U.S. Presidents.

Speaking of all U.S. Presidents, some of them were Rotarians.

U.S. Presidents who belonged to Rotary Clubs:

Woodrow Wilson—Rotary Club of Birmingham, AL

Warren G Harding—Rotary Club of Washington, DC

Franklin Roosevelt—Rotary Club of Albany, NY

Gerald R. Ford—Rotary Club of Grand Rapids, MI

John F. Kennedy—Rotary Club of Hyannis, MA

U.S. Presidents who were Honorary Members:

Herbert Hoover

Harry S. Truman

Dwight D. Eisenhower

Richard Nixon

Jimmy Carter

FLEX-ABILITY

MEMBER MOMENT By PDG Sandi Sava

Have you been at a club meeting, at the gym, on an airplane, in front of the TV and suddenly had a

Rotary revelation but have been unable to share it because the timing just wasn’t right? Or, have

multiple Rotary thoughts been building up in your head and you just need an outlet to help bring

them all together?

The best ideas about Rotary come from our very own members. But, sadly, many never make it from

our minds to our meetings. Think what would happen if we could capture those ideas and build

Member Momentum! Our members, our meetings, our clubs, our communities and Rotary would be

so much better.

Yesterday, I had a revelation, and it is the inspiration for this article. I was sitting in a room full of

Rotarians from many different districts– new, seasoned, young, old, left-brain and right-brain—

everyone was sharing ideas. Some ideas were general and other were quite specific. The more people

shared, the more that was accomplished. I wondered, “Why can’t and why shouldn’t we do this is

our own clubs?”

Consider having a full club meeting or program devoted to idea sharing among members about mat-

ters that are important to your members and relevant to your club. Would this be chaotic, you ask?

Not if the meeting or program is reasonably structured, the process is inclusive, and everyone un-

derstands the value that comes from respectful listening. Ideas generate more ideas which lead to

better ideas and ultimately to plans and solutions. If you have an idea to strengthen your club, share

it. If you want to hear ideas about how to improve Rotary, ask and question.

If you like the concept of an idea-sharing meeting, initiate it in your club.

URGENT NEED FOR BLOOD DONORS

INSPIRE

A letter from BloodSource (now Vitalant), from Alexandra Sigua:

Blood supplies in communities across the country are critically low, down 47% compared to early

December.

Currently, there is a need for platelets and type O blood donations; however, all blood types are

needed in emergency situations. When a patient’s blood type isn’t known, doctors reach for type O

blood first until the patient can be stabilized Platelets have a very short shelf life-only 5 days. Locally,

Blood Source (Vitalant) needs to collect about 4,900 donations of all types per week to replenish the

supply and meet the needs of area patients.

Blood Source (Vitalant) strives to maintain a 4-day supply of type O blood; currently we are at less

than half that amount for our nationwide supply.

To schedule an appointment to give blood, go to vitalant.org or call 877-258-825

Walk-ins are always welcome.

“We typically see a drop in donations at this time of year because people are not only recovering

from the holidays, many are also suffering from the flu and other illnesses.,” said Chris Gresens,

MD, Senior Chief Medical Officer for Vitalant. “Add bad weather to the mix, and it makes it ex-

tremely difficult to maintain an adequate blood supply for patients who need it.

DG, Jack Arney has a challenge for us with BloodSource (Vitalant). For more than 60 years, Ro-

tarians with families, friends and co-workers have teamed up to ensure a safe and plentiful blood

supple for our communities..

CHANGE LIVES

Donate from now to April 15, 2019 and change lives in multiple ways. Your blood donations

help patients live and INSPIRE others to do good. Make sure to mention your Rotary club when you

-or family, friends and co-workers-give a gift of life.
