Rotary District 5180 June 2019

The Final Message From

District Governor Jack Arney

Dear Rotarians,

We are now in the final month of our Rotary year

where we all committed to Be the Inspiration. Our

celebrations for the year have ended, and I think it

has brought us all closer together as Rotarians, as

clubs and as a district.

What I hoped would happen this year is that we look

back and know we made a difference and that each of

us would be even prouder than ever to be a Rotari-

an...if that is possible.

The conference this year was a smashing success according to many of those who

attended. The enthusiasm, energy, pure joy, gratitude and the tears were palpable.

The success of the clubs and their leaders, from my view was the most satisfying

experience of my service in Rotary.

Our willingness to look to new ways to achieve our vision to create lasting changes

around the globe, in our communities and in ourselves was inspiring. As I move on

to new things in Rotary, I would not feel complete unless I thank you all for your

warmth, your energy, your dedication, your selflessness, your generosity and your

inspiration.

Being a part of this district makes me even prouder to be a Rotarian.

I will leave you with this:

To Be Inspired is Great,

But to Inspire Others is Incredible.

Thank you Rotarians for Being Incredible.

Yours In Rotary,

INSPIRE

District Governor Jack received many well deserved kudos at our district

conference. More than once Rotarians talked about his compassion and

kindness, especially in his response to the Camp Fire relief efforts.

I was not surprised at the support and encouragement Jack showed to all of

us during his term. I saw the kind of leader he is when he was president of

the Roseville club in 2012-13.

************************

There was a lovable man in the Roseville club when Jack was president. His

name was John Piches, and he had been in the club for over 60 years. His

greatest sense pride was that he had perfect attendance since he joined

Rotary decades earlier. Each year he was honored at the club’s installation

dinner for his accomplishment, and he loved the attention.

John was a club icon. He was the only Rotarian I knew who could talk about

politics and kiss women, and no one cared. The members adored him and

laughed even if they were the brunt of his jokes.

During Jack’s term, John became ill and was hospitalized. When it was

apparent that John was in his final days, President Jack made a compas-

sionate gesture that I will always remember.

Jack took the club bell, and along with other Rotarians from the club, went

to John’s bedside. Jack rang the bell and held a Rotary meeting in John’s

hospital room so that John could maintain his perfect attendance record.

John was not able to talk, but he cried when he realized what his friends

were doing for him. John passed away a few days later and would never

hear a Rotary bell again, but his family was comforted and forever grateful

to know how much his Rotarian friends loved him.

*************************

Jack is a Rotarian who leads by example. He is a strong leader with a kind

heart, and it is because of those traits that we had a wonderful year

Thank You Past District Governors

District 5180 was part of 5190 until 1995-96. The 5190 district stretched from the

Sacramento area to Reno, Lake Tahoe and Grass Valley. There were more than 70

clubs, and the district governors would spend their entire term doing club visits. Often

they would have to spend the night in a club’s city so they could visit other clubs in the

same vicinity the next day.

In 1995-96 (Rod Ritchie’s year), 5190 was split into two districts and 5180 was formed.

The list below has all the DG’s going back to 1957. You will get an idea of expansive

On May 17th, over 250 people including many Rotarians

from clubs in our district as well as members of the com-

munity, Rotaractors, high school football players, church

groups and a multitude of other volunteers gathered at

Rusch Park Community Center and packed over 79,000

meals that will be distributed to those in need throughout

the world.

Jim Quinney, a member of the Passport One Club, is the director for Rise Against Hunger in the

Sacramento area.

Rise Against Hunger is an international relief organization that distributes food and life-changing

aid to the world’s most vulnerable, mobilizing the necessary resources to end hunger by 2030.

Individuals join Rotary for a myriad of reasons. Some

for business reasons, some to share like minded goals or

objectives and some just to do good in their

communities and beyond. But the binding factor in the

Rotary experience is sharing the fellowship of the

regular club meetings, various committees and service

projects. Members who are involved, who are active in

their clubs or engaged in service projects or Rotary

social activities, are likely having fun and enjoying the

experience and will stay in Rotary.

June is Rotary Fellowship Month

INSPIRE

Rotary Fellowship Groups

Rotary Fellowships are groups of Rotarians, Rotarian spouses and Rotaractors who join

together to share a common interest; make new friends around the world and have fun and

enhance their Rotary experience. Fellowship groups provide opportunities for Rotarians to make

lasting friendships beyond their own clubs, districts or countries. They also contribute to the

advancement of world understanding and peace.

How Rotary Fellowships Operate

* Each fellowship is operated independently of Rotary International with

it’s own rules, dues and administrative structure

* Fellowships must be international in nature with active members in at

least three countries

* Fellowships are expected to facilitate communication among their

members and maintain regular communication with RI

Other interest groups are: bridge, chess, curling, fishing, golf, gourmet cooking, horse back

riding, magicians, motorcycling, music, quilters, railroads, singles, stamp collecting, tennis,

wellness, wine, yachting and so many more interests that there isn’t enough room to list them

all.

Facts About

Watermelons

Since we are officially in watermelon season, I am passing on some watermelon

facts you might find useful:

1. The ripest watermelons have the most water, so pick the heaviest one.

2. Check the bottom of the melon for the creamy, yellow spot. If the spot is white or green, the melon ws picked before its time.

3. In China, they eat the rinds either by stir frying or stewing them.

4. Watermelons are the official state vegetable of Oklahoma. In 2015, a bill was proposed in the state legislature to repeal the watermelon, because it’s a fruit. It never came to a vote, because the man who sponsored the bill died while it was still in committee. He died of natural causes. He was not assassinated by a watermelon lover. (Oklahoma schools rank 48th in the nation—could that be why they think it’s a vegetable?)

5. Farmers in Japan have perfected the art of growing watermelons in odd shapes. They grow a square watermelon by planting seeds in a box-like brace. They also grow watermelons shaped like hearts and pyramids. The melons cost $100 and up.

6. The Guinness Work Record holder for the heaviest watermelon was grown by Chris Kent, of Sevierville, Tennessee in 2013. It was 350.5 pounds.

7. Watermelons are 92% water.

8. August 3rd is National Watermelon Day.

9. 85% of all watermelons sold in the United States are seedless.

10. A watermelon will not grow in your belly if you eat the seeds.

On the Lighter Side...Tips for Summer Fun

Do You Really Want To Go

Camping?

Here are some facts that you should think about

before you head for the hills with your ice chests

and tents...

• Raccoons may sound like cats, but you shouldn’t cuddle them.

In fact, they even purr like our cute kitties we left behind, but don’t pet them.

Raccoons carry disease and can scratch your eyes out.

• Crickets can calculate the temperature.

Count the number of chirps you hear in 14 seconds. Then, add 40 to the number to find

out the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. You could also look at your cell phone.

• Each year in the United States, 40 million people go camping

That’s almost 15% of the population, and I think they all go on the same weekend. That

explains why camp grounds are always stacked with campers.

• Campers average 2.7 nights in a campground

They come to their senses on the third day and find a hotel.

• Only 2/3 of Campers use tents

The rest of the campers like to sleep under the stars where it will be easier for bears and

other creatures to find and maul them.

• More than 12,000 day and resident camps exist in the United States alone.

and each camp ground is located in dirt.

• The average camping age is 35

I don’t have a comment on this one. I have no idea why people camp at any age.

• Lyme disease can take longer to take effect than you think

Lyme disease is a common threat and can be serious if left untreated. More than 30,000

cases of the disease were reported in 2015. However, if you find a creepy little tick on

your body early enough and you pry it out of your skin, you have a good chance of

avoiding the illness.

Another way to avoid Lyme disease is to stay at a Best Western.

SURVIVAL TIP!

1. If you find yourself in an emergency wilderness survival mode, the elastic band

on your underwear makes a perfect sling shot for shooting small game.

Why Does the

Queen Carry

a Purse?

First we need to clarify that the

English call a purse a “hand bag.”

They also call the hood of a car a

bonnet, the toilet a loo and they

call soccer, football. But for now,

lets focus on the hand bag.

Admit it...you have wondered why the Queen carries a purse, (I mean hand bag). What could she

possibly need to carry in the bag when all she has to do is wave her royal hand, and she can have

anything she desires. Could she be carrying a VISA debit card, or maybe keys to the palace in

case she gets locked out?

To find the answer I asked one of the Brits in Passport One club, Beth Ellingthorpe. (Actually,

we have two Brits in the club. The other is Sara Thornros. Don’t you just love the way they

talk.)

It turns out that the Queen’s hand bag is used to give signals to her staff, similar to the way third

base baseball coaches give signals to the batters. I’m not sure what different hand bag positions

mean , but I have a few guesses.

1. Bag on the right arm—I’m having a bloody good time. Leave me alone.

2. Bag on the left arm– Get me out of here. I’m knackered. (Tired)

3. Bag behind her back—This guy is an arse. Call my cell phone, so I can leave

4. Bag on the table— Bring me a hamburger, this food is rubbish.

5. Bag on the ground—How many more years do I have to do this?

Get me a drink. I want to get sloshed.

6. No handbag— I am really jolly! William said he will be King, so I don’t need that

cheeky hand bag anymore.

INSPIRE as much as I have

enjoyed writing it.
