Well, I’m a Rotarian
Poem by PDG Bonngard 10
Fall is upon us, and temperatures are dropping. Soon we will be visited by ghosts and goblins knocking at our doors. With the first quarter of our Rotary year in the books, I had visited 32 of our 40 clubs. What a great privilege it has been. Clubs all over our district are doing great things! There is a notable sense of op�mism that is really energizing!
October is the month Rotarians focus on Voca�onal Service. Voca�onal Service is integral to who we are as Rotarians. Voca�onal Service Month is an appropriate �me for all of us to review Rotary’s Guiding Principles. Our guiding principles include The Object of Rotary, The Four-Way Test, and our commitment to service at home and abroad through our Five Avenues of Service. Object of Rotary
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in par�cular, to encourage and foster:
• FIRST: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
• SECOND: High ethical standards in business and professions; the recogni�on of the worthiness of all useful occupa�ons; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupa�on as an opportunity to serve society;
• THIRD: The applica�on of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
• FOURTH: The advancement of interna�onal understanding, goodwill, and peace through a
world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service. The Four-Way Test
The Four-Way Test is a
nonpar�san and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional rela�onships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club mee�ngs: Of the things we think, say or do 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? Avenues of Service
We channel our commitment to service at home and abroad through five Avenues of Service, which are the founda�on of club ac�vity.
• Club Service focuses on making clubs strong. A thriving club is anchored by strong rela�onships and an ac�ve membership development plan.
• Voca�onal Service calls on every Rotarian to work with integrity and contribute their exper�se to the problems and needs of society. Community Service encourages every Rotarian to find ways to improve the quality of life for people in their communi�es and to serve the public interest.
• Interna�onal Service exemplifies our global reach in promo�ng peace and understanding. We support this service avenue by sponsoring or volunteering on interna�onal projects, seeking partners abroad, and more.
• Youth Service recognizes the importance of empowering youth and young professionals
through leadership development programs such as Rotaract, Interact, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, and Rotary Youth Exchange.
These principles have been developed over the years to provide Rotarians with a strong, common purpose and direc�on. They serve as a founda�on for our rela�onships with each other and the ac�on we take in the world.
In addi�on to Voca�onal Service, another October highlight was World Polio Day, October 24, 2013. The 24th was the birth date of Joseph Salk, the leader of the team that developed the first successful polio vaccine in 1955.
Rotary Interna�onal went out on limb in 1988 when we commiHed to eradica�ng polio from the world. While this unmatched effort has gone on longer, and cost more than anyone ever thought it would, we are truly very close to success. In fact, we learned at our recent Zone Ins�tute that we can look for an announcement soon that the list of endemic countries will drop from three down to two.
As we move into this final
push to complete our work, we have been challenged once
again by the Gates Founda�on. We learned at the Interna�onal
Conven�on in July that for
every dollar donated by Rotarians to Polio Plus, up to
$35 million per year for the next five years, the Gates
Founda�on will match with two
dollars. I hope Rotarians throughout our District will
take advantage of this great opportunity to leverage
personal contribu�ons and
help Rotary finish the job we started. How proud we will all
be the day we hear the WORLD IS POLIO FREE.

Bullhead City Rotaract Club in the Making!
The story is an interes�ng
one. ARer weeks of work and publicizing, we held our big
kick-off informa�onal mee�ng
this past Thursday (Oct. 10th) at Mohave Community
College here in BHC. We had asked Kris� Grasser, the
President of the Route 66
Trailblazers Rotaract Club in Kingman to bring several of
her officers with her a nd to share about how they
organized their club and what
they have been accomplishing so far.
We had Kris� and her team on hand, lots of
refreshments, both our DG
and Asst. DG here, plus our President and President-Elect
and Treasurer of our BHC Rotary Club. We were ready!
And we had O NE prospec�ve
member show up. So we told her she was
going to be our Very Specia l Person for the evening, and
we were going to tell her
about Rota ract. I presented the "Discover Rotaract"
PowerPoint that I had
developed, and Kris� presented her PowerPoint
about their Kingman Rotaract
Club. And they sha red their experience and the lessons
they had learned along the way. They told our gals they
began with TWO people one
year ago, and now they have 30 members, with more
prospects coming to every mee�ng and ac�vity. They
told us how they got the word
out about their club, and how they went out, enlisted them
and brought them in, one-at-a-�me through personal
contact. They had great,
prac�cal advice, and it was exactly what our gals
needed. They gave us the "jump sta rt" that was needed.
The TWO (Jenna and
Nicole) became THREE tha t evening with the addi�on of
Natalie, and the 3 planned to get together and bring others
this morning to a mee�ng at a
restaurant. It appears that the THREE became NINE
today at the ir second
mee�ng.
You can see, from this story, that they are well on
their way, with a Membership Drive Mee�ng set for Oct.
24th again at the college, plus
two service projects and a fellowship ac�vity already on
their calenda r. The photo has Jenna
Cornia and Nicole Smith,
showing Shawn Bristle, Campus Dean at MCC and our
Rotary advisor for the new BHC Rota ract Club, a draR
copy of the club's logo that
Nicole crea ted. Also shown is a copy of the final version of
that exci�ng logo. Jenna and Nicole are both graduates of
Mohave High School. Jenna,
who was the Valedictorian of her MHS class, went off to U
of A and earned her BA and MA in Counseling, and she is
back at MHS as one of the
school counselors — plus serving as one of our MHS
Interact Club Advisors. Nicole, who had been one of our
top Interact officers at
MHS, has been working on her degree in Marke�ng, and
is now serving as the Membership &
Communica�ons Coordinator
for the Bullhead Area Chamber of
Commerce. These two are indeed a dynamic duo!

RD 7670 as a direct result of
what their representa�ve saw
at Mosiro. The plan is to drill
a water well and construct a
gravity pipeline system that
will provide sustainable
access to clean well water to
the community’s schools,
clinics and village public s ites
along a ten kilometer route.
This water system will serve
over seven thousand people.
We have pledged support
for an ambi�ous mul�phase
effort to bring wa ter to that
Maasai community. Like the
previous projects, the
community is vitally involved
at the most basic level. Water
commiHees a re formed, cost
es�mates made and the
Rotary Club of Navishia,
Kenya is taking the lead in
developing the project. That
club has had significant
success with similar projects.
Some of the very same
individua ls who helped on the
prior two projects are
involved including Professor
Mary Poole (PrescoH
College); Meitamei olo
Depash, Maasai leader and
CEO of the Maasai
Environmental Resource
Coali�on (MERC).
The project as
contemplated is
approximately $105,000.
RD5490 is slated to raise
$25,000USD; RD7670 and
9212 another $34,000;
Contribu�ons may be made
to Phoenix Rotary Club
Chari�es (PRCC) a nd mailed
to 501 E. Osborn Rd.,
Phoenix, AZ 85012 (please
mark checks KENYA) or online

Contribu�ons are tax
deduc�ble for US ci�zens.
District 5490, led by
PrescoH Sunup Rotary and
Sedona Rota ry clubs has
brought clean water to
members of the Maasai
community in Kenya located
in east Africa. We have
benefited more than 30,000
people in the Maasai
community. We want you to
know that educa�onal
opportuni�es have been
enhanced because we
brought water, pure and
simple, to those who needed
it and a llowed their children
to grow.
In August 2012 a
delega�on from Rota ry
Districts 5490 and 7670
(North Ca rolina) went to
Kenya to celebrate the most
recent project in Mosiro and
to inves�gate other ways we
could help.

Mission of Mercy (MOM)
Mobile Medical Clinic recently
opened its sixth clinic in the heart of South Phoenix—a
community where children and families struggle to access even
the most basic health care
services. This innova�ve clinic represents a new opportunity
for M.O.M. and Phoenix Rotary 100 to deepen their combined
impact by serving families out
of the Rotary 100 Murphy School Educa�on & Health
Center, a community hub located in the heart of one of
the most under served
communi�es in South Central Phoenix. The educa�on and
health center was the result of an earlier $3.5 million dollar
project lead by the Phoenix 100
Rotary. But for the Phoenix Rotary
100, the Murphy School District health clinic represents
something even greater. It
serves as a testament to the
power of collabora�on and
perseverance when people and communi�es come together to
provide life-affirming resources to a community in need.
When Brendan Kennedy,
then incoming president of the Phoenix Rotary 100, aHended a
tour of Mercy’s Central Phoenix clinic in January, 2012, it was
clear to everyone that Kennedy
had a true passion for Mission of Mercy’s promise of
delivering health-care without barriers. Shortly aRer the tour
ended, Kennedy announced
that his vision for crea�ng a partnership between Rotary
and Mission of Mercy was really the opportunity for
Mission of Mercy to open a
sixth clinic on the Educa�on & Health Center campus,
effec�vely posi�oning both organiza�ons in the epicenter
of poverty and need in
Phoenix.
“When I first entered the
clinic and watched the nurses,
pa�ents and doctors
interac�ng and delivering
good quality medicine, I was
more than intrigued. I saw an
opportunity for Rotary to
make a tremendous impact on
some of the poorest children
and families in our community
through a partnership with
Mission of Mercy” says
Kennedy.
Kennedy worked to unite
Club Leadership and Rotary
Interna�onal behind the project. M.O.M. enrolled other
non-profit organiza�ons to pool their funds to cover 2-
years of opera�ng costs for the
new clinic. They also worked to secure addi�onal funding.
Collabora�on makes miracles happen!

place over 3 days, and the
Kingman folks braved the cold
winds to drink beer, eat
Bratwurst with sauerkraut,
soR pretzels, and pickles,
and show off their best
Chicken Dance. The 4000 Sq

nights, with standing room
only. We also had many
European tourists joining us
for the day while touring
Route 66. Net proceeds from
the Oktoberfest were over

Well, I’m a Rotarian—Vocational Service in Arizona
November is
Vocational
Service Month
Enjoy this poem
written by PDG
Roger Bonngard
Page 10
The Monthly Energizer
Yesterday, when I reflected back on my day,
It was sa�sfying to realize that “life is OK!”
I know that my ac�ons with others as such
allow me friendships and to s tay in touch.
I have learned that what is fai r to me is also fair to them
and that the truth is the basis which all dealings depend.
I ’m proud to be a Rotarian! I use the 4-Way Test
in all my dealings because i t is the best!
Our high ethical s tandards and our respect for all
are the characteris�cs where Arizona Rotarians s tand tall.
When the members of our clubs, both the old and the new,
become “true” Rotarians, then they’ll be respected too.
We must rely on each other and our work we must share
so our Rotary services can be effec�ve somewhere.
When our occupa�ons are developed with Rotary in mind,
we can provide materials and service to all mankind.
The people we work with must trust us too;
we do unto others as we wish those others to do.
Well, I ’m a Rotarian and so are you.
Among us all, we know what to do.
The Rotary Code of Conduct, our 4-Way Test, I ’m pleased to say
are the basis to di rect our lives in every way.
We know that useful occupa�ons are a must;
that our communi�es are best served by those we can trust.
So, Arizona Rotarians, I appeal to you today;
to engage your Voca�onal Service in every way.
For you, it will be fun and sa�sfying, not jus t a quirk;
So put Rotary to ac�on right where you work.
Support President Ron Burton’s theme so we can s trive to
“Engage Rotary and Change Lives”!
I am always taken aback
as to how �me has a way of
moving so quickly and finding
one unaware of its passing. It
seems it was only the other
day that I came home from
Korea, graduated college,
married, and opened a new
chapter in my new life with
my beau�ful wife. But in
another way, it seems lite
years ago, and suddenly I
wonder where this �me has
gone. I know that I
experienced it all. I have
flashbacks of how it was then
with our hopes, our dreams
and our youthful belief that
all things were possible.
Now, much to my surprise
it’s winter, my life’s winter is
here. How did it get here so
fast? Where did the years go,
did I squander my youth? I
remember vividly, as I strolled
vigorously through life, seeing
older folks and thinking that
they were so far beyond me.
To me my winter was so far
off I could not even
comprehend or imagine fully
what it would be like.
But here it is. My friends
are ge[ng grey, they move
more slowly, and some have
died. I see in all of them an
older person now. Some of
the folks I see are in beHer
shape than I, then others, not
so good, but in All, I see the
great change. They are not
like the ones tha t I remember
who were young and vibrant.
Yes, like me, their age is
beginning to show.
So it is this new season of
my life for which I am
unequipped, with all its aches
and pains, my loss of strength
and the ability to go and do
the things I once did without
giving them a thought. Yes, I
know my winter has come,
and while I expect it to be a
long winter, I can’t be sure
how long it will last. That said,
I do believe that when it's
over here, it’s over, and a
new adventure will begin!
Regrets, of course I have a
few. There are things I wish I
hadn't done, things I could
have and should have done,
but through it all, I took the
fall, and I lived my life on my
own terms! Most importantly
however, when all is said and
done, there are many things
I'm happy to have done!
It's all in a life�me.
So, my friends, if you a re
not yet in your winter, take
note, it will be here before
you realize it! Whatever you
would like to achieve in this
existence, do not
procras�nate, don't say I will
do it tomorrow! Life goes by
in a nano second, so do all
you can today, do it now! And
above all, never, never, ever
quit on yourself!
You can’t be sure if this is
your winter or not! And you
have no guarantee that you
will see a ll the seasons of
your life, as I have been so
blessed to have seen. So live
for today, say all the things
that you wa nt your friends
and loved ones to remember,
and hope that they will
appreciate, love and respect
you for all the things that you
are and have done in your
years!
"Life" is a gi' to you. The
way you live your life is your
gi' to those who come a'er,
so you get to set the bar!
Don’t Wait for Winter—dick e/unknown
Being right vs. doing the right thing
much harder. It is an elusive
goal and a lifelong journey.
It is a journey we, as Rotarians, should be on and help each
other stay on. When we look at the Four
Way Test as a way of judging
others, it is easy to find their flaws, and say they don’t pass.
It is much harder to look at ourselves honestly and see
our own flaws, but it is
ourselves and our own
decisions we are supposed to consider when we ask those
four important ques�ons – about ALL the things we, as
individuals, think, say, or do.
It should a true reflec�on of ourselves that we consider.
Your newsle�er editor,
Jeanie Morgan
Being right isn’t all it’s
cooked up to be.
Some�mes it is isola�ng. Some�mes it is divisive.
Some�mes it causes us to take a stand for the wrong
reasons.
Knowing how to look at the big picture, put personal
feelings aside, and make choices to do the right thing is
