On-Going Efforts to Support the Foundation’s Six Areas of Focus
The Rotary Foundation has six areas of focus: promoting peace, fighting dis-
ease, providing clean water, saving mothers and children, supporting education,
and growing local economies. This month, In Motion is proud to highlight two of
our District 7610 events that are directly connected to two of these Area of Fo-
cus: promoting peace/conflict resolution and providing clean water! In October,
the Strategic Water Alliance of District 7610 (SWA) completed its Sixth Annual
Walk for Water and The Second District Peace Conference was held at the Uni-
versity of Mary Washington—Stafford Campus. Rotary believes that good health
care is everyone’s right and we want to establish projects and processes that
“spread peace in our communities”.

They say that creative people are of-ten talented in a number of disparate disciplines. Clearly, this is readily ap-parent in the case of Newsletter Pub-lisher and Past District Assistant Gov-ernor, James Hicks. He was a musi-cian and Master Sergeant in the U.S. Army’s Fife and Drum Corps (photo to the right, refers). In fact, he completed a 33-year career as a member of the President’s ceremonial escort. He played at inaugurations and enter-tained heads of state, from around the world.
Now, however, his creative energies are focused more on the visual arts, (although he still enjoys and plays mu-sic). He manages a family-run busi-ness, called D.E.P. Printing. And, since July, under the leadership and guidance of DRFC, PDG Juanita Cawley, James serves as the District Foundation’s In Motion newsletter publisher. He works seamlessly with editor Jim Holcombe and ARRFC, PDG Chuck Davidson, (who updates several pages containing crucial data, every month).
In Motion has received a plethora of praise since ‘the two James’ (Jim Holcombe and James Hicks) took on responsibility for In Motion, last July. Jim Holcombe recently remarked, “I can think of no better group of individuals with whom I would rather enjoy working [with], every month, than DRFC Chair Juanita Cawley, PDG Chuck Davidson, and of course James Hicks”. Indeed, In Motion is extremely fortunate, “to have such a unique group of individuals, whose creativity com-plements each other, so well!”
James married Lisa - his sweetheart since the 9th grade. They have three children and three grandchildren (all girls, with one set of twins). So, if you like what you read in In Motion, the credit goes to this ‘well-oiled machine’. And, that team shines brighter and sounds better with James Hicks! His visual talents seem to “bring music to ones ears”!

Second D7610 Peace Conference Deemed a Huge Success!
On October 28, The District Foundation Committee held its second peace confer-
ence, at the University of Mary Washington, in Fredericksburg. Rotarians from Dis-
tricts 7470, 7600, 7610, and 7620 attended. Moreover, some of the attendees and
speakers even flew in from other states. After welcoming remarks by Conference
Chair, DRFC, PDG Juanita Cawley and DG Ronnie Chantker, PDG Peter Kyle, RI
Peace and Conflict Resolution Chairman, presented a history of Rotary’s long-
standing connections with peacebuilding—including Rotary’s association with the
U.N. and its related agencies (e.g., UNESCO). Rotary International has had a peace
initiative from it’s earliest days. As World War I was coming to an end, Paul Harris,
Rotary founder, said, “The road to war is well paved, the road to peace is a wilder-
ness”.
“Waging Peace—What is Peacebuilding
and Why is it Important”? was the
presentation by Prabha Sankaranarayan.
She is president and CEO of Mediators
Beyond Borders. The subsequent speak-
ers were Reem Ghunaim who talked
about, “The Rotary Action Group for
Peace” and Patricia Shafer (Co-Founder
of NewGen Peace Builders) who provid-
ed the particulars about how the NewGen
peacebuilders program can energize Ro-
tary.
DG Ronnie Chantker
Erik Haas facilitated a discussion among attending Rotarians, who
have already launched peace or peace-related initiatives in D7610.
The Rotarians were (lerft to right) Erica Brouillette—president of the
RC of Falls Church: Pat Borowski—AFA and awards chair, Daniel
Kasmierski—president of the RC of Springfield and Bill Cawley, AG.
Sally Lay, District Peace Fellowship
Chair, interviewed Rotary Peace Fellows
about what it was like serving in that ca-
pacity and how this experience changed
their lives forever!

Greetings District Rotarians. I am sure that you have all been seeing the holiday
displays going up and the stores starting to push all of the holiday buying. Yes, it is
once again that time of the year. So, what does that have to do with The Rotary
Foundation (TRF)?
As Thanksgiving approaches with the joy of getting together with family and friends,
I hope that you will take some time to contemplate how lucky you are as compared
to millions of other people around the world and look for ways to give thanks. One
way might be a donation to The Rotary Foundation.
Once Thanksgiving is over, the holiday stress with gift giving will start. As always, I
have a suggestion for you. My family used to have that stress. The perennial con-
versation went something like this: Question: "What do you want for Christmas"?
Answer: "I do not need anything"? Response: "I did not ask what you needed, I asked what you wanted".
Response: "I don't know".
What was the result? More stress trying to figure out what to get for everyone. We finally resolved our
problem by deciding that instead of gifts, we would each make a donation to a charity in the family's
name. That made better use of our money by helping other people and ended the stress.
So, where am I going with this—as if you haven't already guessed? Did you know that The Rotary Foun-
dation's Rotary Direct giving tool has a "Gift Option," where you can make the donation a "Tribute," and
list the occasion and the honoree, with the honoree's address? TRF will then send a letter to the honoree
telling them that a donation has been made in their name and the occasion you have listed. In this case,
it could be your family and Christmas or Hanukah or whatever you wanted. Plus, if you make it for the
Annual Fund-SHARE you will get the Paul Harris points and you have just eliminated a lot of stress. It is
a win/win all around and will make you richer for helping others. Just something to consider. With that, I
wish everyone a wonderful, fun and safe Thanksgiving—where ever you may be!

We could not have hoped for a more crisp and sunny day
on October 1, when the Strategic Water Alliance of District
7610 (SWA) completed its Sixth Annual Walk for Water.
Attended by both Rotarians and non-Rotarians, the Walk
again raised funds for water projects in the Copperbelt Re-
gion of Zambia. This year, we once again had the support
of the Interact Club of John Champe High School, whose
students helped with a range of logistical tasks.
Since 2011, SWA has been sponsoring a Walk for Water,
and participating in this international Rotary initiative
[which] began in The Netherlands, in 2010. From Great
Britain to Eastern Europe, and from the U.S. to Africa, par-
ticipants support awareness and funding to help those in
developing countries have access to safe drinking water,
adequate sanitation, and hygiene training.
SWA is continuing its ongoing work with partner Rotary
Clubs in Zambia. Since 2006, SWA has written over
$350,000 in Rotary Grants, first as Matching Grants
($170,950) and then as Global Grants ($87,210 in 2013-
15; and $92,200 approved in 2017, with the work now un-
derway). The team has also made six trips to the area
since 2009, supporting local partners and confirming
needs, project quality, and sustainability.
Thanks to all who supported our Walk, and to all of the
member clubs whose ongoing participation makes these
projects successful. The walking trail was punctuated with
signs bearing facts about water and about SWA’s histo-
ry. Participants were quizzed when they reached the finish
line and received a prize bag of goodies related to our wa-
ter and sanitation theme.”
The Rotary Foundation is changing the world
by providing grants for projects and activities
around the globe and in your own backyard:
• Strengthening the ability of communities to
develop, fund, and maintain sustainable
water and sanitation systems.
• Provide equitable community access to
safe water, improved sanitation, and hy-
giene.
• Support programs that enhance communi-
ties’ awareness of the benefits of safe wa-
ter, sanitation, and hygiene.
• Support career-minded professionals’
studies related to water and sanitation.

Vaccines Malaria Polio
Pakistan’s vaccination
strategy is reaching
children on the move.
We are dedicated to a ma-
laria-free world through
treatment and prevention.
We are dedicated to per-
manently ending polio. Ro-
tary members have spent
over 30 years fighting po-
lio, which is now almost
fully eradicated.
Clean Water
Clean water and sani-
tation is a human right.
When people, espe-
cially children, have
access to clean water,
sanitation, and hy-
giene, they lead
healthier and more
successful lives.
“Rotary Believes that Good Health Care is Everyone’s Right”. Join Us. Make a Contribution to the Foundation!
Help us combat polio and other health-related diseases by donating to the Foundation! Our health is eve-rything. Yet, 400 million people in the world can’t afford or don’t have access to basic health care. We be-lieve good health care is everyone’s right.
Disease results in misery, pain, and poverty for millions of people worldwide. That’s why treating and pre-
venting disease is so important to us. We lead efforts both large and small. We set up temporary clinics,
blood donation centers, and training facilities in underserved communities struggling with outbreaks and
health care access. We design and build infrastructure that allows doctors, patients, and governments to
work together.
Our members combat diseases like malaria, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and po-
lio. Prevention is important, which is why we also focus on health education and bringing people routine
hearing, vision, and dental care. Moreover, let’s not forget Rotary’s clean water projects, as well!
Disease does not prevent itself. We educate and equip communities to stop the spread of life-
threatening diseases. Rotary members have hundreds of health projects underway around the world
at any given time.
How Rotary Makes Help Happen

An Interview with PDG Sandy Duckworth-A Lifetime of Giving!
In Motion: PDG Sandy, I understand that you joined Rotary in Hawaii, in
1989. You were on multiple boards, and obtained a Hawaii Gubernatorial
appointment, there. I am sure that our readers would be interested in
reading more about some of the highlights of your experiences, in Ha-
waii, and here in Virginia.
“Thanks for asking me to share a few of my experiences and memories. I
was elected to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors representing the
Mount Vernon District. I served on numerous boards and commissions
including the WAMATA Council of Governments and was a Trustee on
the Fairfax Hospital Board (currently INOVA). I served as aide to Virgin-
ia’s Senior Senator Hurst as he successfully achieved passage of legisla-
tion to authorize the building of the Dulles Toll Road and the acquisition
of George Mason University’s Law School. I was appointed by President-
elect Carter to co-chair Virginia’s Inaugural Committee, appointed by Pres. Carter to The Fourth Circuit Judicial Nomi-
nating Commission, member of the Democratic Platform Committee for the 1980 National Convention and Presiden-
tial spokesperson for one of the platform issues at the New York Convention held in a packed Madison Square Gar-
den”.
In Motion: Tell us more about Hawaii. “I was a friend of Governor Arioshi [of Hawaii]. I was immediately drawn into
many new and exciting challenges in this uniquely diverse community. For example, I was asked to become a mem-
ber and ultimately the President of the Friends of the East-West Center, an independent State Department entity es-
tablished by Congress to promote better relations and understanding among the U.S., Asia, and the Pacific. I was
Chair of the Hawaii State League of Women Voters. Gov. John Waihee appointed me to the Commission on Ad-
vancement of Women in the Workplace, a very important commission and one of my favorites”.
In Motion: As a past D7610 District Governor, In Motion is particularly interested in your connection to the Founda-
tion, both past and present.
“In 2002, when I became D7610 Governor, we had an emergency campaign push to raise funds for polio eradication
in a last-minute effort, that year. PDG Travis White led this effort and raised over $363,000 for a total giving, that
year, of over $557,000. We, also, initiated the District 7610 Paul Harris Society and these members’ contributions
further extended the outstanding culture of benevolent giving that was being embraced by our fabulous Rotarians.
These efforts have catapulted our district into being recognized world-wide almost every year for our Foundation giv-
ing. I was honored to have been named the Rotary District Foundation Chair, in 2005. As Foundation Chair, I also
initiated our District Foundation Monthly Newsletter and am very proud to see how it has grown into a vital and in-
formative publication that has continued to advance our culture of giving because of the outstanding leadership of all
of our District Foundation Chairs. I believe that these changes have also helped to enhance our culture of giving to
help others less fortunate here at home and around the world with grants that can reach up to $200,000+. I am,
[currently] honored to be working with Peter Anderson, our District Annual Giving Chair. I assist in checking with
clubs on their contributions and work with Peter to assist in any way necessary. This position allows me to continue
my participation in Foundation affairs in an efficient and flexible fashion–working for something I love, our Rotary
Foundation. I am frequently invited to various clubs and events recognizing and advancing Foundation goals and suc-
cesses. When we make donations to The Rotary Foundation, we help make a difference in the lives of millions of
people. Thanks to Rotarians, we are closer than ever to ending polio. Because of our caring and giving, families in
many parts of the world, now have clean water and sanitation facilities. Remember that over 6,000 children die every
year from a water related disease. We should never forget that while increasing donations is critical, the expendi-
tures are creating a better, more hopeful and peaceful world.
In Motion: PDG Sandy, Thanks for sharing your time and thoughts with our readers. PDG Sandy and husband Don
live in Fredericksburg, Virginia. They have three children, and five grandchildren.
