DISTRICT 7020 ROTARY FOUNDATION NEWSLETTER (JAN 2011 VOL V) Editorial Another dawn has emerged and like other years 2011 will bring it’s own challenges but also new opportunities. Challenges they say are a must, part of life’s journey, therefore it will be up to us to grasp the opportunities to meet those challenges. To sit idly by and say “ I can’t” is not going to cut it,“I’ll try”, that’s the spirit. So my fellow Rotarians I call on each of us to play our part by joining hands and hearts in helping to resolve those challenges and here Haiti comes to mind. Dwight D Eisenhower, America’s 34 th President, in his speech demitting office on Jan 17, 1961 said, and I quote: “We pray that peoples of all faiths, all races, all nations may have their human needs satisfied; that those now denied opportunity shall come to enjoy it to the full; that all who yearn for freedom may experience its spiritual blessings; that those who have freedom will understand also its heavy responsibilities; that all who are insensitive to the needs of others will learn charity; that the scourges of poverty, disease and ignorance will be made to disappear from the earth, and that in the goodness of time all peoples will come to live together in a peace guaranteed by the binding force of mutual respect and love.” Isn’t that what Rotary is about and what the Foundation has been advocating for the last ninety-five years? The fourth object of Rotary is The advancement of International Understanding, Goodwill and Peace through a world fellowship of Business and professional persons united in the ideal of service. The mission of the Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance this ‘object’ through the improvement of health, support education and the alleviation of poverty.

Matching ra ts Ap lication Pr ces ing

Starting 1 July 2010 the TRF Programs Division staff began processing Matching Grant (MG) applications from Rotarians around the world The Matching Grant budget is USS215M this year which is almost double what it was in 2009-2010 As of 1 September 2010 only USS3M of the USS215M has been committed and therefore we anticipate being able to fund aLL Matching Grant applications received in the 2010-11 year The vast majority of applications are typicaLLy received during the first two months of the Rotary year and last two months before the application deadline (31 March) which can often create an application backlog Therefore for more timely service we encourage Rotary clubs and districts to submit their applications between October and February for the quickest processing times In an effort to help facilitate the processing of applications there are two ways applications can be submitted 1) via eshymail to contactcenterrotaryorg or 2) by fax to the new Humanitarian Grants fax line 1-847-556-2151 It is highly recommended that you only send in the application once either by email or by fax as multiple copies can slow down processing of your grant

otarian COOp rati 9 Org nlzations The Board of Trustees at their April 2010 meeting took decisions regarding requirements needed for Rotarian run Cooperating Organizations A Rotarian Cooperating Organization is an entity in which one-third or more of its Board of Directors andor governing body is comprised of Rotarians andor senior management who are also Rotarians directly involved with the grant project If your club or district works on a Matching Grant with any Cooperating Organization the following information will need to be disclosed in the application if applicable

bull The names of Rotarians on the Organizations Board of Directors andor organizational governing body

bull Any members of senior management who are Rotarians and are directly involved with the grant project

This will allow TRF to determine whether the organization is a Rotarian Cooperating Organization and also ensure that no Rotarians professionally connected with the project are on the project committees so as to avoid even the appearance of a conflict of interest

Our mission to achieve world understanding and peace is a lofty goal that can only be met through sustained action and the commitment of Rotarians

L speed up payment

The following are some helpful tips for success when applying for Humanitarian Grants

It is essential that you thoroughly review the application for completeness prior to submitting it to TRF

Be sure that reporting for all previously awarded grants is current before submitting a new application to TRF Having just one overdue report for a previous grant will keep you from receiving any new grants

The best time to apply for Humanitarian Grants is between the months of October and February If you are able to submit applications during this time you will receive faster response times and increase the overall processing time for your application

If your project is in need of quick turn around times it is suggested that all Rotarian funding be in the form of DDF Matching Grants with no cash contributions are processed over a month faster and can help ensure a more timely receipt of payment Please know that the US$100 minimum amount from host clubs can come in the form of DDF from the district or go to the project account directly in order to help

RELEASE FOR ROTARY LEADERS ROTARY HIRES NEW GENERAL SECRETARY

The Rotary International Board of Directors announced today that John Hewko formerly an international partner with the law firm Baker amp McKenzie and more recently the Vice President for Operations and Compact Development at the Millennium Challenge Corporation will officially replace retiring General Secretary Ed Futa on July 1 2011

Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation have flourished during the past decade in no small part because of the leadership of General Secretary Ed Futa Noteworthy accomplishments that occurred during Eds tenure incfude but are by no means limited to

1) The reorganization of departments and staff to address the growing needs of Rotarians worldwide 2) A stable financial condition that was achieved in especially difficult economic times 3) An emphasis on and investment in major information technology services and systems 4) A growing emphasis on improved communication strategies and methods 5) Successful movement toward organizational strategic planning 6) Outreach to expand our network of strategiC partners including The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and USAID among others 7) Significant increase in Rotary and Rotary-partnered fundraising and progress in Rotarys efforts to rid the world of poliomyelitis

At a time when Rotary is recognized throughout the world for its leadership in the area of community service its unique and diverse membership and its ability to address significant global challenges it is appropriate that Rotary International attract a unique individual to replace its retiring General Secretary

That individual is John Hewko an international partner from 1992 to 2004 in the international law firm of Baker amp McKenzie (BampM) At BampM he specialized in international mergers and acquisitions privatizations and other international corporate matters participated in the development of the firms Moscow office and was the managing partner of its offices in Kyiv and Prague While in Ukraine in the early 1990s he assisted in the development of the initial draft of the new Ukrainian constitution and was a charter member of the first Rotary club in Kyiv

In 2004 John left Baker amp McKenzie for public service He joined the Millennium Challenge Corporation a newly-established US government agency designed to deliver foreign assistance to the worlds poorest countries in a new and innovative manner As Vice President for Operations and Compact Development John was responsible for the development and negotiation of foreign assistance agreements with 26 countries in Africa Asia South America the Middle East and the former Soviet Union During his tenure agreements totaling $63 billion were completed with 18 countries for projects in infrastructure agriculture water and sanitation health and education

John has written extensively on international and other issues including opinion articles in the Washington Post the Wall Street Journal the Los Angeles Times and the Christian Science Monitor In addition to his native English John speaks five other languages He is married to Margarita and has one daughter Maria who will be graduating this spring from high school in the Washington DC area Johns father is a Rotarian in Clarkston Michigan

John will inherit a position first mastered by revered Rotary leader Ches Perry and will provide the same visionary leadership and effort attributed to that first general secretary so that Rotary can continue to grow in numbers stature and involvement and contribute to making the world a better place for all people

The following are some helpful tips for success when applying for Humanitarian Grants

It is essential that you thoroughly review the application for completeness prior to submitting it to TRF

Be sure that reporting for all previously awarded grants is current before submitting a new application to TRF Having just one overdue report for a previous grant will keep you from receiving any new grants

The best time to apply for Humanitarian Grants is between the months of October and February If you are able to submit applications during this time you will receive faster response times and increase the overall processing time for your application

If your project is in need of quick turn around times it is suggested that all Rotarian funding be in the form of DDF Matching Grants with no cash contributions are processed over a month faster and can help ensure a more timely receipt of payment Please know that the US$100 minimum amount from host clubs can come in the form of DDF from the district or go to the project account directly in order to help

RELEASE FOR ROTARY LEADERS ROTARY HIRES NEW GENERAL SECRETARY

The Rotary International Board of Directors announced today that John Hewko formerly an international partner with the law firm Baker amp McKenzie and more recently the Vice President for Operations and Compact Development at the Millennium Challenge Corporation will officially replace retiring General Secretary Ed Futa on July 1 2011

Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation have flourished during the past decade in no small part because of the leadership of General Secretary Ed Futa Noteworthy accomplishments that occurred during Eds tenure incfude but are by no means limited to

1) The reorganization of departments and staff to address the growing needs of Rotarians worldwide 2) A stable financial condition that was achieved in especially difficult economic times 3) An emphasis on and investment in major information technology services and systems 4) A growing emphasis on improved communication strategies and methods 5) Successful movement toward organizational strategic planning 6) Outreach to expand our network of strategiC partners including The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and USAID among others 7) Significant increase in Rotary and Rotary-partnered fundraising and progress in Rotarys efforts to rid the world of poliomyelitis

At a time when Rotary is recognized throughout the world for its leadership in the area of community service its unique and diverse membership and its ability to address significant global challenges it is appropriate that Rotary International attract a unique individual to replace its retiring General Secretary

That individual is John Hewko an international partner from 1992 to 2004 in the international law firm of Baker amp McKenzie (BampM) At BampM he specialized in international mergers and acquisitions privatizations and other international corporate matters participated in the development of the firms Moscow office and was the managing partner of its offices in Kyiv and Prague While in Ukraine in the early 1990s he assisted in the development of the initial draft of the new Ukrainian constitution and was a charter member of the first Rotary club in Kyiv

In 2004 John left Baker amp McKenzie for public service He joined the Millennium Challenge Corporation a newly-established US government agency designed to deliver foreign assistance to the worlds poorest countries in a new and innovative manner As Vice President for Operations and Compact Development John was responsible for the development and negotiation of foreign assistance agreements with 26 countries in Africa Asia South America the Middle East and the former Soviet Union During his tenure agreements totaling $63 billion were completed with 18 countries for projects in infrastructure agriculture water and sanitation health and education

John has written extensively on international and other issues including opinion articles in the Washington Post the Wall Street Journal the Los Angeles Times and the Christian Science Monitor In addition to his native English John speaks five other languages He is married to Margarita and has one daughter Maria who will be graduating this spring from high school in the Washington DC area Johns father is a Rotarian in Clarkston Michigan

John will inherit a position first mastered by revered Rotary leader Ches Perry and will provide the same visionary leadership and effort attributed to that first general secretary so that Rotary can continue to grow in numbers stature and involvement and contribute to making the world a better place for all people

If your project is in need of quick turn around times it is suggested that all Rotarian funding be in the form of DDF Matching Grants with no cash contributions are processed over a month faster and can help ensure a more timely receipt of payment Please know that the US$100 minimum amount from host clubs can come in the form of DDF from the district or go to the project account directly in order to help

RELEASE FOR ROTARY LEADERS ROTARY HIRES NEW GENERAL SECRETARY

The Rotary International Board of Directors announced today that John Hewko formerly an international partner with the law firm Baker amp McKenzie and more recently the Vice President for Operations and Compact Development at the Millennium Challenge Corporation will officially replace retiring General Secretary Ed Futa on July 1 2011

Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation have flourished during the past decade in no small part because of the leadership of General Secretary Ed Futa Noteworthy accomplishments that occurred during Eds tenure incfude but are by no means limited to

1) The reorganization of departments and staff to address the growing needs of Rotarians worldwide 2) A stable financial condition that was achieved in especially difficult economic times 3) An emphasis on and investment in major information technology services and systems 4) A growing emphasis on improved communication strategies and methods 5) Successful movement toward organizational strategic planning 6) Outreach to expand our network of strategiC partners including The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and USAID among others 7) Significant increase in Rotary and Rotary-partnered fundraising and progress in Rotarys efforts to rid the world of poliomyelitis

At a time when Rotary is recognized throughout the world for its leadership in the area of community service its unique and diverse membership and its ability to address significant global challenges it is appropriate that Rotary International attract a unique individual to replace its retiring General Secretary

That individual is John Hewko an international partner from 1992 to 2004 in the international law firm of Baker amp McKenzie (BampM) At BampM he specialized in international mergers and acquisitions privatizations and other international corporate matters participated in the development of the firms Moscow office and was the managing partner of its offices in Kyiv and Prague While in Ukraine in the early 1990s he assisted in the development of the initial draft of the new Ukrainian constitution and was a charter member of the first Rotary club in Kyiv

In 2004 John left Baker amp McKenzie for public service He joined the Millennium Challenge Corporation a newly-established US government agency designed to deliver foreign assistance to the worlds poorest countries in a new and innovative manner As Vice President for Operations and Compact Development John was responsible for the development and negotiation of foreign assistance agreements with 26 countries in Africa Asia South America the Middle East and the former Soviet Union During his tenure agreements totaling $63 billion were completed with 18 countries for projects in infrastructure agriculture water and sanitation health and education

John has written extensively on international and other issues including opinion articles in the Washington Post the Wall Street Journal the Los Angeles Times and the Christian Science Monitor In addition to his native English John speaks five other languages He is married to Margarita and has one daughter Maria who will be graduating this spring from high school in the Washington DC area Johns father is a Rotarian in Clarkston Michigan

John will inherit a position first mastered by revered Rotary leader Ches Perry and will provide the same visionary leadership and effort attributed to that first general secretary so that Rotary can continue to grow in numbers stature and involvement and contribute to making the world a better place for all people

Matching ra ts Ap lication Pr ces ing

Starting 1 July 2010 the TRF Programs Division staff began processing Matching Grant (MG) applications from Rotarians around the world The Matching Grant budget is USS215M this year which is almost double what it was in 2009-2010 As of 1 September 2010 only USS3M of the USS215M has been committed and therefore we anticipate being able to fund aLL Matching Grant applications received in the 2010-11 year The vast majority of applications are typicaLLy received during the first two months of the Rotary year and last two months before the application deadline (31 March) which can often create an application backlog Therefore for more timely service we encourage Rotary clubs and districts to submit their applications between October and February for the quickest processing times In an effort to help facilitate the processing of applications there are two ways applications can be submitted 1) via eshymail to contactcenterrotaryorg or 2) by fax to the new Humanitarian Grants fax line 1-847-556-2151 It is highly recommended that you only send in the application once either by email or by fax as multiple copies can slow down processing of your grant

Matching ra ts Ap lication Pr ces ing

Starting 1 July 2010 the TRF Programs Division staff began processing Matching Grant (MG) applications from Rotarians around the world The Matching Grant budget is USS215M this year which is almost double what it was in 2009-2010 As of 1 September 2010 only USS3M of the USS215M has been committed and therefore we anticipate being able to fund aLL Matching Grant applications received in the 2010-11 year The vast majority of applications are typicaLLy received during the first two months of the Rotary year and last two months before the application deadline (31 March) which can often create an application backlog Therefore for more timely service we encourage Rotary clubs and districts to submit their applications between October and February for the quickest processing times In an effort to help facilitate the processing of applications there are two ways applications can be submitted 1) via eshymail to contactcenterrotaryorg or 2) by fax to the new Humanitarian Grants fax line 1-847-556-2151 It is highly recommended that you only send in the application once either by email or by fax as multiple copies can slow down processing of your grant

TRF is committed to ensuring that the majority of the world participating in traditional TRF programs gets great high-quality and fast service To ensure this high level of service the Foundation has fuLLy staffed aLL areasl

RELEASE FOR ROTARY LEADERS ROTARY HIRES NEW GENERAL SECRETARY

The Rotary International Board of Directors announced today that John Hewko formerly an international partner with the law firm Baker amp McKenzie and more recently the Vice President for Operations and Compact Development at the Millennium Challenge Corporation will officially replace retiring General Secretary Ed Futa on July 1 2011

Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation have flourished during the past decade in no small part because of the leadership of General Secretary Ed Futa Noteworthy accomplishments that occurred during Eds tenure incfude but are by no means limited to

1) The reorganization of departments and staff to address the growing needs of Rotarians worldwide 2) A stable financial condition that was achieved in especially difficult economic times 3) An emphasis on and investment in major information technology services and systems 4) A growing emphasis on improved communication strategies and methods 5) Successful movement toward organizational strategic planning 6) Outreach to expand our network of strategiC partners including The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and USAID among others 7) Significant increase in Rotary and Rotary-partnered fundraising and progress in Rotarys efforts to rid the world of poliomyelitis

At a time when Rotary is recognized throughout the world for its leadership in the area of community service its unique and diverse membership and its ability to address significant global challenges it is appropriate that Rotary International attract a unique individual to replace its retiring General Secretary

That individual is John Hewko an international partner from 1992 to 2004 in the international law firm of Baker amp McKenzie (BampM) At BampM he specialized in international mergers and acquisitions privatizations and other international corporate matters participated in the development of the firms Moscow office and was the managing partner of its offices in Kyiv and Prague While in Ukraine in the early 1990s he assisted in the development of the initial draft of the new Ukrainian constitution and was a charter member of the first Rotary club in Kyiv

In 2004 John left Baker amp McKenzie for public service He joined the Millennium Challenge Corporation a newly-established US government agency designed to deliver foreign assistance to the worlds poorest countries in a new and innovative manner As Vice President for Operations and Compact Development John was responsible for the development and negotiation of foreign assistance agreements with 26 countries in Africa Asia South America the Middle East and the former Soviet Union During his tenure agreements totaling $63 billion were completed with 18 countries for projects in infrastructure agriculture water and sanitation health and education

John has written extensively on international and other issues including opinion articles in the Washington Post the Wall Street Journal the Los Angeles Times and the Christian Science Monitor In addition to his native English John speaks five other languages He is married to Margarita and has one daughter Maria who will be graduating this spring from high school in the Washington DC area Johns father is a Rotarian in Clarkston Michigan

John will inherit a position first mastered by revered Rotary leader Ches Perry and will provide the same visionary leadership and effort attributed to that first general secretary so that Rotary can continue to grow in numbers stature and involvement and contribute to making the world a better place for all people

The following are some helpful tips for success when applying for Humanitarian Grants

It is essential that you thoroughly review the application for completeness prior to submitting it to TRF

Be sure that reporting for all previously awarded grants is current before submitting a new application to TRF Having just one overdue report for a previous grant will keep you from receiving any new grants

The best time to apply for Humanitarian Grants is between the months of October and February If you are able to submit applications during this time you will receive faster response times and increase the overall processing time for your application

If your project is in need of quick turn around times it is suggested that all Rotarian funding be in the form of DDF Matching Grants with no cash contributions are processed over a month faster and can help ensure a more timely receipt of payment Please know that the US$100 minimum amount from host clubs can come in the form of DDF from the district or go to the project account directly in order to help

RELEASE FOR ROTARY LEADERS ROTARY HIRES NEW GENERAL SECRETARY

The Rotary International Board of Directors announced today that John Hewko formerly an international partner with the law firm Baker amp McKenzie and more recently the Vice President for Operations and Compact Development at the Millennium Challenge Corporation will officially replace retiring General Secretary Ed Futa on July 1 2011

Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation have flourished during the past decade in no small part because of the leadership of General Secretary Ed Futa Noteworthy accomplishments that occurred during Eds tenure incfude but are by no means limited to

At a time when Rotary is recognized throughout the world for its leadership in the area of community service its unique and diverse membership and its ability to address significant global challenges it is appropriate that Rotary International attract a unique individual to replace its retiring General Secretary

In 2004 John left Baker amp McKenzie for public service He joined the Millennium Challenge Corporation a newly-established US government agency designed to deliver foreign assistance to the worlds poorest countries in a new and innovative manner As Vice President for Operations and Compact Development John was responsible for the development and negotiation of foreign assistance agreements with 26 countries in Africa Asia South America the Middle East and the former Soviet Union During his tenure agreements totaling $63 billion were completed with 18 countries for projects in infrastructure agriculture water and sanitation health and education

John has written extensively on international and other issues including opinion articles in the Washington Post the Wall Street Journal the Los Angeles Times and the Christian Science Monitor In addition to his native English John speaks five other languages He is married to Margarita and has one daughter Maria who will be graduating this spring from high school in the Washington DC area Johns father is a Rotarian in Clarkston Michigan
