A Message from the District Governor Greetings to all Rotarians and best wishes for a happy and healthy new year. January is Rotary Awareness Month. Take some time to look at the history of

Rotary and your club and discuss some of the great accomplishments through

the years. We should also look at some of the events that have made Rotary a great organization. Celebrate Ro-

tary Awareness Month by exposing members to Rotary history. While reading ―A Century of Ser-

vice,‖ The Story of Rotary International, by David C. Forward, I found the history of the ―Four-Way

Test.‖ It was created by Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor in 1932. Taylor, a member of the Rotary Club

of Chicago, took charge of a Chicago-based aluminum company that was facing bankruptcy. Strug-

gling to save the company, Taylor composed a 24-word code of ethics for all employees to follow in

their business and professional lives. The code was credited with saving the company. The ―Four-

Way Test‖ was adopted by Rotary in 1943. Celebrating Rotary Awareness Month also gives us an opportunity to think about the history of our

Rotary Foundation, which was proposed by Rotary International President Arch C. Klumph in 1917,

as an endowment ―for the purpose of doing good in the world.‖ In 1928, the endowment fund had

grown to more than $50,000. After Rotary’s founder, Paul Harris, died in 1947, contributions poured into Rotary International,

and the Paul Harris Memorial Fund was created to build up the Foundation. That year, the first

Foundation program, the forerunner of Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarships, was estab-

lished. The first Group Study Exchange team was organized in 1965 between districts in California

and Japan. The Health, Hunger and Humanity (3-H) Grants program was launched in 1978 which

helped immunize 6.3 million children in the Philippines against polio. This project evolved into Po-

lioPlus. The 1984-85 year brought PolioPlus, followed by Rotary grants for University Teachers and

the Foundation’s peace and conflict studies programs. All of our clubs have many events in their history that have had a major impact on their members,

their community and the world. Take a few minutes to ―LOOK AT YOUR GREATNESS and

TAKE TIME TO CELEBRATE ROTARY.

All the best, DG Art

Thank you.

The calendar year has quickly come to a close, but we still have

half of our Rotary year to go. So now is a good time to evaluate

what publicity you have done in the second half of 2012, and

what publicity you should do for the first half of 2013. Look at your club’s calendar to see what fundraisers are coming

up. Maximize your success by getting the word out to your

members, via your club’s weekly bulletin, to our district mem-

bers via this newsletter, and to the public via your local newspa-

pers. Don’t hesitate to let people know that we need their help

to do what we do so well, and that is, serve others. Take a look at your club’s budget to see which groups or or-

ganizations you are donating money to in the next six

month. This review should spark a list of guest speak-

ers. Check presentations to charities in your area are great

photo opportunities. Let the public see you giving money away

as well as raising it to complete the circle. Don’t forget. Guest speakers are a great source of potential new

members. Invite them to your meeting and let them see what

we do. Have them do a 15 to 20 minute talk about what their

organization does. Take their picture receiving a check from a

few of the members of your club, and send it in to your club

bulletin editor, the district newsletter and your local pa-

pers. Don’t be shy. Spread the Rotary word. Best wishes in

the new year. Sandy Peoples District Public Image Chair

THE ROTARY CLUB OF HAZLETON

Rotary Club of Hazleton

Distributes Christmas Plants

Proceeds from the sale are used to fund the club’s

Dictionary Project and Scholarship Fund. More than

900 dictionaries were distributed to Hazleton Area

School District 3rd graders this November. Applica-

tions for the scholarship fund will be available in area

high schools in the spring.

―We want to thank everyone who purchased Christ-

mas plants from the Rotary Club,‖ comments Chair-

man Mark Imbriaco. ―Your support is sincerely ap-

preciated.‖

Additional members of the committee were Paul

Brenner, John Beltrami, Mike Portonova, Ron Kutch-

marick, John Schwear, Ron Avellino and Gene Acri.

Ron Avellino, Paul Brenner and Mark Imbriaco, Ro-

tary Club of Hazleton members hand out Christmas

flower orders for distribution by Rotary Club mem-

bers. For the 11th consecutive year, the Rotary Club

of Hazleton is here to help brighten holidays with-

poinsettias, amaryllis, Christmas cactus and a new

item this year, ivy topiary. Orders were taken by

Rotary Club members and distributed on December

12th.

Rotary Club of Hazleton Donates New Dictionaries to Greater Hazleton Elementary Third Graders

New dictionaries are given annually by the Rotary Club of Hazleton to third graders in all of the Hazleton Area Ele-

mentary Schools (except Freeland which is covered by Freeland Rotary). This community service project has been

an annual event since 2001.

The Rotary Club motto is ―Service Above Self‖ and the club is involved in various community activities, but par-

ticularly enjoys this one as a way for the club to introduce young people to the ―wonder of words.‖ Many local

children lack internet access, and these dictionaries give them all a

common starting point, while making classroom dictionary exercises

possible. Project Chairman John Madden says, ―We all know a dic-

tionary can make many reading and writing tasks much easier, but

the joy and wonder expressed by these students when they receive a

new book is the biggest thank you of all for the club.‖

John was assisted in this project by Rotary Club members John

Schwear, Dave McCarthy, Tarah Toohil, Lani Drobnock, Bill Pav-

lick, Pat Ward, Donna Barna, Toni Frumkin, De Ann Miller, Lisa

Marie Halecky, Mary Malone, Paul Malone, Dorothy Anderson, Paul

Brenner, and Pat Korb in addition to Beltrami and Lagana. More than

900 dictionaries are being delivered to area students this year.

Hazleton Rotary Club members John Beltrami

and Tom Lagana passed out new dictionaries

to third graders at the West Hazleton Elemen-

tary/Middle School last Monday.

THE ROTARY CLUB OF TUNKHANNOCK

Tunkhannock Rotary Outbound Exchange Student

Samantha Maruzzelli, Chair of the Student Exchange Committee, recently received a very interesting e-mail letter from

our Tunkhannock Rotary-sponsored exchange student Adam Sehne, who is currently in Ecuador.

Dear Sam,

Yes, once again thank you for everything. I hope Sandy did not cause too much damage and I hope everybody is safe.

To be honest, South Americans are not the best with schedules and I usually know what I am going to do about a couple

days in advance. I can tell you that my next rotary trip is to the Amazon. I cannot wait. I heard from past exchange stu-dents that this is by far their favorite trip so I am very excited. I believe it is in December that we go but the exact days are

still a mystery to me. Other trips include the Galapagos Islands, Cuenca, and Quito. Needless to say, I can't wait. Since

summer is right around the corner (southern hemisphere) I will graduate high school and go on break sometime after

Christmas, I want to say early January. Then it is 2 months off and I don't know what I am going to do. This time is also when there is Carnival, or like in the US, mardi gras, so that should definitely be a fun experience. I’ll probably be surfing

too because that is the waves are the best.

Now for the paper, I attached the photo I think should be submitted which is of the Queen of Manta, the Vice-Queen

(runner-up) and I. I went to the "Eleccion de la Reina de Manta" at Murcielago Beach, which is a five minute walk from

my house. This ceremony can best be described as a Miss America Pageant. The event was televised and there were thou-sands of people. After the Pageant had ended and they crowned the Queen, there was a concert for the band FONSECA.

My life in Manta is nothing short of amazing. I live in a very tropical, beachy city of about 300,000 people. There are

many differences between Manta and Tunkhannock, but the diversity is what makes it so great. I am one of the six ex-change students currently living in Manta and the only American. I attend school at Unidad Educativa Leonardo da Vinci

with three other exchange students but I am the only exchange student in the senior class. My school day is extremely

different. I spend the whole day in the same room while the teachers change rooms. I am in Administración, which means I am enrolled in business and mathematics classes. It is also required that I take Italian and English classes since the

school is trilingual. Everyday afterschool, I walk to "La Playa de Murcielago" (translation: Bat Beach) where I surf and

bodyboard.

My weekends are usually a bit more relaxing. My host-father has a beach house in the small town of Santa Marianita

which is approximately a ten minute drive from Manta. I like to go for runs on the beach there because the sand is more

compact and the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. The nightlife is very social on the weekends. I normally find myself

at either a dance club or at "Plaza del Sol" which is popular hang-out spot.

After being in Ecuador for two months now, I feel as though I have changed inside and out. This exchange year has helped me come out

of my shell and I have tried a lot of new things. Whether it be trying

strange food or learning Spanish, I am always up to the challenge

and have learned to never say "No." Through this year, I will have the opportunity to visit the eminent Galapagos Islands and stand

where Charles Darwin stood. I will be able to hike the Andes Moun-

tains and journey into the depths of the Amazon. I am very thankful for every opportunity and all the support I receive. Thank you Tunk-

hannock Rotary for fulfilling my dreams. I am an ambassador to the

world and I refuse to disappoint.

Un abrazo (a hug),

Adam Rotary Exchange Student Adam Sehne, (center)

Tunkhannock Rotarians and Interactors

Raise Money for “Toys for Local Kids”

The Tunkhannock Rotarians & Interactors

raised more than $2400 on Candy Cane Day

(Nov 23, 2012) to support ―toys for local

kids.‖ The money raised at the event ensures

that children in need in Wyoming County

receive a toy for Christmas. Thanks to the

Interactors and the generosity of the folks

who shopped in Tunkhannock that day. This

was one of the most successful Candy Cane

Days to date.

At the Dec 6 Tunkhannock Rotary Club Meeting held at Purkey’s Pink Apple, President Bill Barber presented checks for $1213 each for “toys for local kids” to Elaine Lee, Director of Interfaith Friends and to Patricia Skryn-ski, Director of Wyoming County Children & Youth.

Tunkhannock Rotary Club Donates $1,000 to Toys for New

Jersey Kids Impacted by Hurricane Sandy

The Tunkhannock Rotary Club also donated $1,000 for Toys for

New Jersey Kids impacted by Hurricane Sandy. This donation

was made with the cooperation of Bob Cooper, President of the

Point Boro, NJ Rotary Club to St. Gregory's Pantry in Point

Pleasant Beach, New Jersey. St. Gregory's is the distribution

center for several towns in the area including, Point Pleasant

Boro, Point Pleasant Beach Boro, Bay Head, Mantaloking,

Lavalette and parts of Brick. It is also the distribution center for

the Ocean County

Dallas Rotary Club rings the bells for the

Salvation Army More than two dozen Dallas Rotarians, spouses and

friends volunteered to ring the bells for two days in

December to help make the holidays a little brighter

for the clients served by the Salvation Army. The

Dallas Rotary Club wishes to thank the public for

helping them help the Salvation Army during this

holiday season. The members of the Rotary Club of Dallas have

rung the bells for the Salvation Army for many

years. This year their kettle drive on Rt. 309 in Dal-

las brought in several hundred dollars, thanks in

part, to a very generous donation of $400 from J&J

Deli, Rt. 415 in Dallas. The funds came from their

management, employees and tips from their cus-

tomers.

Dallas Rotary, McDonald’s and the Bon Ton partner to help children The Rotary Club of Dallas recently hosted its 48th annual Christmas shop-

ping spree for 45 Back Mountain children from the school districts of Dallas, Lake Lehman and Northwest. Rotarians Paul and Melissa Saxon

chaired the event.

McDonald’s in Shavertown provided a complimentary breakfast for the

children on the trip. Then they were off to the Bon Ton at the Midway

Shopping Center where they were treated to coats, boots, hats, mittens

and outfits for school.

The children were paired with a chaperone, appointed by the Dallas Ro-

tary Club, as they embarked on their wishes-come-true shopping day. And each child had his or her picture taken with the Rotary Santa. Santa is Ralph Fitch, brother of Rotarian Ron Fitch.

The Dallas Rotary Club provided a generous shopping allowance for each child, and a discount coupon from the Bon Ton stretched their shopping dollars even further. The Rotarians raised the money through their annual fall

charity golf tournament and generous donations from foundations at a local church.

At the end of the day the children boarded the big yellow school bus provided by Emanuel Bus Lines and headed back to Dallas to rejoin their families. A good time was had by all.
