From The Governors Chai

From the Governor’s Desk

This last week, was a busy one for the Rotary International Director (there are 26 in all of Rotary) Jennifer Jones. She came to our district two days before our Multi-District President Elect Training (MD PETS) in Syracuse to be with us Rotarians. She had an early flight into Albany International Airport and then right to a meeting in Albany with a group of young Rotarians (under 40) and spoke with them about how they can work in rotary and give us a fresh look at a way ahead for the current times. They asked her some hard questions and received some direct answers. Later I saw some emails from these new and young Rotarians saying how much they enjoyed being with the director and how they should keep in contact with one another. There were a number of clubs represented, and if one of these young Rotarians comes up to you and says let’s try - this - please give them a listen. They may have a good idea for the club. The RID then had lunch with about 50 of our Rotarians from around the district in Schenectady and answered some good questions, especially dealing with attendance and club meetings. If you weren’t there, find out from someone about her answers. I think you will like them. Later that afternoon she spoke to faculty and students at SUNY Cobleskill, who are thinking about forming a Rotaract Club. Then off she went to Binghamton for dinner with Rotarians at District 7170 and gets to know another fifty or sixty Rotarians. The next day she was off to Rochester for lunch, with District 7120 and back to Syracuse for dinner with District 7150. These are the four districts that join together for the MD PETS once a year to help train their presidents and give some commonality in leadership to our upstate Rotary clubs. So before she was the guest speaker Friday evening at the MD PETS in Syracuse, she had an opportunity to see a good part

of Upstate New York, visit with Rotarians and hear about what we are doing and what many of your Club

Presidents will be trying to accomplish in each one

of their clubs. She also had several Rotary international staff there to speak and help train your incoming president.

Being the taxi drive on part of her visit, I listened to her and my wife talk as we went to one place and then another. Jennifer had some interesting stories, considering she has spoken in more than 100 Rotary events around the world and of course I couldn’t resist telling some of mine. (Probably way too many and it is presumptuous of me to say interesting.) In fact, my stories were so interesting that Jennifer took a “power nap” on our way to Binghamton. She got up at 4 am to catch her flight to Albany, so I am sure it was her rigorous schedule and not my interesting stories that put her to sleep?

Anyway, just ask someone who has heard Jennifer speak and you will know that she has a way about her that will inspire you. If you missed her and would like to hear her speak, she will be in our area again in May for the District Conference in Lake Placid, 13 -15 May 2016. (See her picture in The Rotarian, April issue, page 32)

All of this activity is centered around training of your incoming presidents and is being performed for one reason – so that we Rotarians will be able to give more effectively of our time and efforts and that your club presidents can lead us in that pursuit. Is it worth it? I don’t know, but we have almost eradicated polio in the world!

March is Water and Sanitation month. What are we doing in our district – ask your club Foundation Chairperson or go to the toolbox on our district web site - http://www.rotary7190.org/. Have a great month! DG Milan

Capital Region Rotary to Hold Business and Service Expo in Albany

The Capital Region Rotary Club (CRRC) will hold their 3rd annual “Rotary’s Business and Service Expo” at the Radisson Hotel in Albany. This centrally located event promotes the opportunity to network with fellow Rotarians while also making an effort to invite non-Rotarian businesses so they can participate with us and enjoy this spectacular occasion. Light appetizers, cash bar, and giveaways will be some of the highlights of this Expo and we hope to see you there.

“Rotary’s Business and Service Expo” will be held on Tuesday, April 5th at the Radisson Hotel in Albany, located at 205 Wolf Rd. The event is open to the public, and admission is free. The expo will run from 5pm to 7:30 pm.

Capital Region Rotary Club President and Business Expo Committee member Jason Lecuyer said “I am excited as we enter our 3rd year of the Expo. This event continues to build on the foundation of Rotary; building professional relationships while showcasing our commitment to service in our community.”

Marisa Multari, CRRC Secretary and Expo Committee Chair said, “I'm excited for the Expo. We are thrilled to welcome all community professionals this year. It is great way to network and see the many great businesses and services the Capital Region Area has to offer. I can't wait to meet everyone!”

Chartered in 2013, the Capital Region Rotary Club is a group of young professionals who are committed to service above self. One of their most notable community achievements is their annual “Bins of Fun” project, which collects and delivers bins of toys and activities for the Children’s Hospital at Albany Medical Center. The club is part of Rotary District 7190, which is based in the Capital District. To learn more about Rotary, visit www.rotary7190.org or visit the CRRC website at www.capitalregionrotary.org.

Cleft Craniofacial Help Available In our vast Rotary 7190 District, too many children are born each year with Cleft Craniofacial anomalies. Sharing the linked information below with effected families, doctors and medical facilities could provide families and communities a life changing service. Last Rotary Year, nine District 7190 Clubs, our District (DDFs), District 2820 (Japan), District 9210 (62 clubs in Malawi, Zambia, Mozambique andZimbabwe), Dhaka Bangladesh Rotary, many local Rotarians and non-Rotarian businesses / organizations contributed funds to help start a Cleft Craniofacial Center (CCC) at Albany Medical Center (AMC). Its purpose: to provide a unique regional service to families in AMC’s 25 county catchment area (15.5 million people), most within District 7190 boundaries and clubs. In finalizing our Global Grant with AMC, an MOU and Joint Agreement were codified which mandated AMC establish a budget for the grant funds, and budget execution reporting requirements. The agreements also stipulated that at six months into implementation, the CCC would forward copies of booklets and papers they use to educate families, to be distributed to our international partners, who could likely, greatly benefit from the information. That has been accomplished. Clearly, this information could also benefit some families and communities within our District. The first link below contains all the booklets and fact sheets made available to families that contact AMC, and the CCC. They cover all aspect of Cleft Craniofacial syndromes and anomalies, from prenatal to adult. Please check out the entire website and share it anyone or any agency you think could benefit from having the information. http://www.cleftline.org/parents-individuals/publications/. The next link is the one for the CCC. Most interesting are the “Conditions Treated” and the “Experts.” http://www.amc.edu/patient/services/childrens_hospital/pediatric_cleft_craniofacial/index.cfm One of Rotary’s greatest capabilities and means of leverage is our ability to help others through the use of our vast communications network. Sharing this information with those that might need it exemplifies

such a case. Thank you. ~ ~ ~

Greetings District 7190 Rotarians! Don’t miss out on the opportunity to attend the

2016 District Conference in Lake Placid, Mystery in the Mountains, May 13-15. In a very popular Olympic village, this conference promises to be very special! DO NOT WAIT!!! Everything you need to know is located on the District website… registration, lodging information, the program and more!

While at the conference, CONNECT with Rotarians from all parts of the District! Join the Lake Placid and Saranac Lake Rotarians for a day of service on Friday, 13 May 2016. Several work projects are being reviewed and plans are underway to paint, repair, and renovate. Join in the fun in the North as we do the business of the district and participate in the program. (The General Session begins on Saturday at 8:45 am). In addition, for those who like to give and give, join us Saturday afternoon as we put together 200 Backpacks for Haitians Refugees from 2 pm to 4 pm. We need your help!

Lake Placid is the ideal location for a conference and a delightful travel destination to explore!

Lake Placid has it all: back-country adventure, Olympic thrills, upscale and family-oriented lodging and dining, European ambience, history, arts, and an endless list of activities.

The outdoor adventurer can cruise down Olympic trails at nearby Whiteface Mountain; cross-country ski and snowshoe at several venues (including the Olympic site at Mount Van Hovenberg); hit the links at several top-notch courses; ride a bobsled and a luge sled down the Olympic track; hike, rock-climb, and ice-climb a few short miles from the center of town; paddle the nearby waters; and fish the area's many streams, lakes, and ponds.

Less-athletic activities also abound. Simply walking along Main Street, exploring the eclectic variety of restaurants and shops, is an experience to be treasured. The Olympic venues offer non-stop opportunities to watch world-class ski jumping, biathlon, cross-country racing, free-style skiing, hockey, and downhill skiing, as well as luge, bobsled, and skeleton racing. No matter what your tastes may be, Lake Placid is truly your year-round place to be. Come and experience the hospitality of a world-class village. Must see, must do! Let’s “Be a Gift to the World” See you there!

Seoul, Korea, May 28-June 1, 2016. District Governor Elect John Mucha, from the Glens Falls Rotary Club, is organizing our District trip to Seoul. Now is the time to plan for the Seoul Convention. If you have never been to a Rotary International Convention, you owe it to yourself to make the trip. It’s a great way to experience what it truly means to be part of Rotary. You will be inspired by world class speakers and enjoy fellowship with Rotarians from around the world. For more information, please check out www.riconvention.org. Seoul is a fascinating city with great food, shopping, and museums. And no VISA is required for US citizens to travel to Korea!

We will be planning District activities in Seoul and hopefully staying in the same hotel, so please let us know if you are interested in hearing more about our plans. Please email DGE John at [email protected] to be put on the email list.
