EDITOR’S NOTES Welcome to the July 2013 edition of DG Philip Clancy’s ‘The Overflow’. What else could we call it ! On behalf of all members of District 9790 I would like to thank our retiring editor Ian Bushby. He worked quietly in the background editing and publishing the DG’s Newsletters. The printed copies always turned up each month ready for mailing. Thank you Ian, may your Quill cool ! I wish to thank DG Philip for the opportunity to work with him over the next twelve months to publish ‘The Overflow’…… I keep telling myself, it was a

good idea at the time !

In future editions we want to include contributions from Rotarians and Club’s publicising their ‘Rotary Moments. Every Rotarian has a specific moment in their lives that stands out and holds a special meaning to them. Some people refer to this as their ‘Rotary moment,’ We believe that it is very important to share this moment with others. Facts and figures can only go so far; a personal experience can open doors and make friends. Each of us has experienced the joy of a Rotary moment. It’s taking it to the next step and understanding that when we share these stories, we can change people’s lives. I invite you to submit your ‘Rotary Moment’, comments, Letters to the Editor for discussion, membership tips and fundraising ideas for inclusion in future editions. Editor Greg Adams

DISTRICT GOVERNOR'S

MESSAGE

Greetings to Rotarians and friends with this our first edition of

‘The Overflow’.

Humankind has been blessed with attributes and abilities that other

life-forms do not have. One is our most useful ‘thumb’ and another

is the ability to communicate amongst ourselves. When we choose

not to use these the result is not a lot is achieved, said or

understood. It is hoped that in reading this newsletter we will

enhance our understanding and get more service done.

The Overflow derives its name from a well known poem* and some

association with my family. As in the poem I will do my best to keep

you informed and in touch with our far flung members.

Our Editor for this Rotary year is Greg Adams from the RC of

Diamond Creek and he is keen to get a wide variety of items into

each monthly edition. Take time to share your great ideas and

opportunities for service with us and send action and captivating

photos. In many instances an article précis may work well with the

full details then being accessed via a link to our District Website.

The extensive District Website has a new face and gives ready access

to topics and information that is vital for Club details, administration

and an up to date ‘What's New”. It is now the home for our detailed

District Directory which is in a form which can be updated.

If you or your club would appreciate friendly assistance with setting

up and maintaining a website, accessing our District Website or the

RI website then our Leadership team will be keen to provide half day

‘Know How’ sessions for groups of clubs in convenient locations. Let

your Assistant Governor know if interested.

This year 41 clubs have taken up the initiative to participate in Multi

Club District Governor visits. Each Club President will be required to

make a short presentation that outlines club plans on one or two

projects which could be suitable for members of other clubs to

share in. Presidents will be encouraged to mention their preferred

local ‘Maternal and Child Care’ option within the DG Partner

Program. >


My grateful thanks to the many Rotarians and friends who

supported our District Changeover on 16th June. Your

presence recognises and endorses the significant service

provided by our Leadership Team. Thanks and well done to

my own Rotary Club of Southern Mitchell for preparing the

venue and assisting on the day. To ‘Kilmore Trackside’, our

Host Kelly and her staff for their wonderful and efficient

service and to Diana Sargeant for preparing the floral table

decorations.

Engage Rotary Change Lives is the theme Rotary

International President Ron Burton has chosen for

2013/2014. Every year we are presented with a theme and

we get the opportunity to construct our plans around it.

This one really gives us the challenge to be well informed of

what Rotary is capable of doing. It also asks us to gather in

members of our communities to join us in using Rotary to

make a positive change in the lives of those less fortunate.

We must then identify the needy within our membership,

local communities and our Australian neighbours. When our

resources are adequate and the time is right, then we must

assist those people in other countries whose basic needs are

not being met. Rotary can do it.

Change is sweeping through Rotary. We are all being

encouraged to come up with ways we can make our clubs

more relevant in our society today. It is not about what we

do in Rotary as much as how we do it. The more diverse the

attributes of our membership the more opportunities we

have and the wider the friendships we foster.

As Past RI President John Kenny informed us, “The Future of

Rotary is in Your Hands” it is time to inspire others.

(A B Paterson Poetry)*

Yours in Rotary

District Governor 2013-2014



RI PRESIDENT

RON BURTON

Good morning! Welcome to Rotary's 2013 International Assembly.

Standing here today, I can't help but think back to Nashville, Tennessee, 26 years ago. That was when I attended the International Assembly as an incoming district governor. It was an incredible experience, just as I hope this assembly will be an incredible experience for all of you. But there is something else that links the International Assembly of 1987 with the International Assembly of 2013 — and it's not just that Ron Burton was at both of them.

Twenty-six years ago, my classmates and I were not only gearing up to be district governors but were also gearing up for the biggest, most ambitious program in Rotary's history: PolioPlus. We were getting ready to tackle the first fundraising campaign in the history of Rotary and the biggest commitment, by far, that Rotary had ever made: to eradicate polio from the face of the earth.

Even then we knew it wouldn't be quick or easy. However, if we had known then that we would still be working in 2013 to finally finish the job, I'm not sure a single one of us would have agreed to be governor. But we knew then, as we know now, that we could do it. And we knew then, as we know now, what success would mean — to the children of the world, to the generations that would follow them, and to the generations of Rotarians who would be inspired by our success to achieve even more.


Twenty-six years ago, I sat in the class of Rotary district governors that began the job of eradicating polio.

Today, I stand in front of the class of Rotary district governors that will finish it.

I learned a lot about polio that week in Nashville. And I've learned a lot more since then. But the most important thing I learned — and that all of us learned — was that whether we lived some where there hadn't been a case of polio in 30 years or somewhere with thousands of cases a month, we could do something about it. We could save kids from life in a wheelchair, or on crutches, or crawling in the dirt. We all realized that, through Rotary, we could change lives. We'd heard those words before, but over that week, they became very real and almost took on a life of their own.

And I don't think any of us ever looked at Rotary the same way again.

The challenge for Rotary leaders at every level for me, for you, for the club presidents — is making sure that every Rotarian can have that experience of epiphany, that moment of realizing what Rotary is, what doors it opens, what a privilege it is to be a Rotarian.

My friends, it is an incredibly exciting time to be a Rotarian. I believe Rotary's best days are ahead of us. We are writing the last few pages of one chapter of Rotary history, as we move ever closer to the end of polio. And we are writing the very first pages of a new chapter as we roll out our Future Vision plan.

Future Vision is a new era for our Rotary Foundation. It takes everything that is wonderful about Rotary and raises it to a new

level — by encouraging bigger, more sustainable international projects while providing increased flexibility for local projects, >


both of which address the needs of the community

being served. It's a big transition a big change from

business as usual and helping your clubs through that

transition is part of your job. With the help of your

district Rotary Foundation chair, you will help your

clubs understand Future Vision, benefit from the

changes, and do the most they can with their

resources to effect positive change in our world.

In my home state of Oklahoma, if you meet someone

who's a big talker, you might tell him to put his

money where his mouth is. Well, I'm a big talker

about our Rotary Foundation, and I put my money

where my mouth is because I believe that the

Foundation should be the charity of choice for every

Rotarian, and even more so for every Rotary officer. If

you're going to ask other people to donate, you need

to be donating yourself. It's called "leading by

example." And that's why, before this assembly, I

asked every one of you to make a donation in your

own name to The Rotary Foundation. I'm proud to

announce that every one of you did as well as every

RI Board member and every Foundation Trustee.

Together, we raised US$675,000.

Now, I have to believe that some of this is money that

The Rotary Foundation probably would not have

received had I not asked. And I think that this is an

important lesson for each of us here today: if you

want somebody else to do something, you can just sit

around and wait for them to get the idea, or you can

ask. Doesn't it make a lot more sense to just ask?

When I was in high school, I was a very active member of the

Key Club. You probably all know that Key Club is not a youth

program of Rotary International. It's a youth program of a

different service organization: Kiwanis International. And I

always assumed back then that, one day, I'd be a Kiwanian.

But do you know why I'm standing up here as president-elect of

Rotary International, and not president-elect of Kiwanis

International, training their incoming officers?

Because no one ever invited me to a Kiwanis Club and no one

ever asked me to join Kiwanis. I did, however, get invited to, and

asked to join, the Rotary Club of Norman, Oklahoma.

I'm here today because someone asked me.


Partners program. 2013-14.

Thank you for the opportunity to introduce my partners project.

Over the past years clubs have chosen to support many worthwhile programs that have

made a difference and changed lives for the good.

Professionally I am a nurse and midwife having predominately worked in the rural

environment.

I am well aware of the needs associated with maternal and child health care in our local

communities. I am also pleased to note that maternal and child heath has been

designated a key focus area for rotary service.

For my project I would like to invite each club to choose and then support a project that

addresses a local need. Clubs may even wish to join with others rotary clubs or

community organisations to address a more regional need.

Examples may be:

Hospital equipment for obstetric and paediatric needs.

Isolette (incubator) for premature and sick babies .

Foetal monitoring machines.

Support for a lactation consultant.

Neonatal emergency transport service.

Children's books for newborns through your maternal and child health centres.

Please talk to people in the know such as your local health centre staff, doctors,

midwives, hospitals, and club members for ideas.

In the event that no local project can be found but you still wish to engage in a maternal

and child health care initiative I have one that I have been associated with that I would be

happy to share.

When I visit your club on our official visits I would be pleased to learn of your choice and

record your commitment in a way that acknowledges service within your community. To

add to this I would be grateful to receive any photos and/or publicity relating to your

initiative.

DISTRICT GOVERNOR'S

PARTNER’S PROGRAM


The following article is from the Wall Street

Journal and reports an announcement made at

the RI World Convention in Portugal.

The article reports a number of matters that are

important to Rotarians:

The number of cases of polio has reduced to

69 this year (to 19th June)

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have

extended their support for a further five

years committing to match Rotary donations

two to one up to $35 Million of Rotary

donations per year (each Rotarian donation

is tripled)

The Wall Street Journal gives significant mention

of Rotary's contribution to the eradication of

Polio.

PDG Peter Gilbert Chair The Rotary Foundation

Committee D9790 2013/14

END POLIO NOW


Rotary International and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation have renewed a fundraising partnership they hope will

inject millions of new dollars into the final push to eradicate polio, a goal both say is closer than ever.

Only 69 cases of polio were reported globally so far this year as of June 19, and an independent board monitoring the

global eradication effort recently said halting transmission of the disease by the end of 2014 is "a realistic prospect." The

number of cases has declined substantially from 1,352 reported in 2010, and the virus is endemic in pockets of only three

countries: Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria.

But the war on the final vestiges of polio is tough. Polio vaccinators have been shot and killed in recent months in Nigeria

and Pakistan. An eradication goal was missed last year. And the virus appears to be resurging in the Horn of Africa, with

more than one-third of the cases so far this year in Somalia and Kenya—two countries that had been largely polio-free.

Under the agreement, the Gates Foundation said it will match two to one every new dollar that Rotary commits to

polio eradication up to $35 million a year over five years. That could total $525 million, including $175 million from the

Rotary Foundation and $350 million from the Gates Foundation for polio immunization programs, the organizations said.

The fundraising is part of a six-year drive to raise $5.5 billion for a "polio eradication and endgame strategic plan" led by

Rotary International, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, UNICEF and the World Health Organization to wipe

out the virus by 2018. Governments, nongovernmental organizations and individual philanthropists such as New York

City Mayor Michael Bloomberg have pledged $4 billion of that amount. The Gates Foundation has committed $1.8 billion

of that amount, which it says will include its matching funds for Rotary.

Rotary launched its first fundraising campaign for polio in 1985, prodding a World Health Organization resolution to

eradicate the disease. It has contributed $1.2 billion since then toward eradication, raised through donations from

Rotarians as well as their communities, and thousands of Rotary volunteers have helped immunize children in multiple

countries.

Over the past year, volunteers have vaccinated people in mobile clinics and at toll plazas in Pakistan, met with religious

leaders, and implemented lessons learned from India, which successfully stopped transmission

of polio with programs like health camps that offer nutrition training and other health

services along with polio vaccine.

"Rotarians are spending not only money out of their pockets and raising money in the

community, but they've also spent a considerable amount of their own money and

time to go to these countries and help with the vaccination efforts," said John Germ, vice

chairman of fund development for the Rotary International PolioPlus Committee.

The amount Rotary is seeking to raise is less than approximately $228 million it raised

during a recent five-year campaign, in which the Gates Foundation also matched funds.

Part of the reason is concern about "donor fatigue," Mr. Germ said. But mainly, he said,

Rotary's goal now is to persuade major donors such as governments and corporations to give more

for the final eradication push. "We need to reach out and get money from those who have not

given," he said.

And, he said, Rotary is likely to raise more than the $35 million a year. "Rotary's got a

history of exceeding its goals," he said.

"We both want to maintain the momentum," said Gates Foundation CEO Jeff Raikes,

adding that the new endgame strategy has plans and resources for quelling outbreaks like

the one in the Horn of Africa. "We're very excited about what can be done here."


Spotlight is on ‘Strengthening Rotary’

Without a doubt, the spotlight is currently on ‘Strengthening Rotary’. Rotarians

everywhere are being asked to support and strengthen clubs, enhance public image

and awareness, and focus and increase humanitarian service.

Two current initiatives will go a long way to strengthening Rotary’s future. The first

is the Regional Membership Development initiative, which has resulted in the

development of clear, focused and measurable Membership Plans in each of

Rotary’s regions. The second is the ‘Strengthening Rotary’ initiative, which will

shortly see the release of a new suite of brand assets for Rotary.

Australia’s Regional Development Plan was developed and implemented by

Rotarians in 2012. It challenges clubs to achieve an annual membership growth

target of three percent. It also identifies five strategic priorities for clubs; to

increase diversity, develop informed and skilled Rotarians, support innovation and

flexibility, create strategic partnerships, and enhance brand recognition and

awareness. It is accompanied by a set of tools and resources to help clubs

implement the plan.

The ‘Strengthening Rotary’ initiative is being led by a committee of senior Rotary

leaders, chaired by Past RI President Bill Boyd. Supported by international

communications agency Segal+Gale, the committee has been reviewing all the ways

that Rotary communicates – our messages, our look, our printed materials, our

websites and more. As a result of the initiative, we will shortly see the release of an

exciting new visual identity toolkit for Rotary, starting with the RI website in August

this year.

We will hear much more about these initiatives in coming months, because the

success of both depends on the commitment and goodwill of our clubs.

Once implemented, these initiatives will ensure our membership

development and communications activities keep our brand

strong, and our organisation relevant and vital for

the long term.

With the recent Lisbon Convention now concluded we

can turn our thoughts to the 2014 RI Convention to be

held in Sydney from 1st – 4th June. Bookings are now

open but at the time of writing very little of the fine

detail was available. There are some time critical issues

that you might want to address sooner rather than later

however.

· Registration can be done online at the RI website www.rotary.org and click on the Sydney 2014 link. The Early Bird registration fee is usually available until December so there is no great rush in that regard.

· What might change this timing is what blockbuster events will the Host Organizing Committee announce. For example if there is a major concert at the Opera House that would quickly fill. Therefore if you see something in the hospitality program that piques your interest, book now.

· The venue is Olympic Park at Homebush but I understand that most social events will occur in Sydney; e.g. the Opera House. Given this you need to consider your accommodation options very carefully.

· The HOC has arranged for free public transport during the convention period and this includes trains, buses and ferries. Trains will run non-stop from Central Station (no changes) and buses will run from the CBD hotels to Homebush. The NSW Government has duplicated much of the Sydney Olympics public transport arrangements allowing for speedy transfers.

· The usual block-booked hotels, arranged by RI, will be announced when the convention details are announced and this is where you will need your skates on. Don’t expect cheap rates with 20,000 plus attendees jetting into Sydney. The popular hotels will quickly be booked out.

· Sydney has a huge number of quality apartment properties and these maybe an option for many of us, especially if you are happy to share a 2 BR (2 bathrooms) apartment effectively splitting the costs. I expect to have some sort of a deal with the city’s largest apartment provider very soon.

· Finally there is the getting yourselves there bit. If driving check the car parking arrangements wherever you are staying; expect to pay at least $30 per night. If flying look to book immediately and get a cheap fare locked in. Plan to arrive no later than Saturday and register on-site; check out the House of Friendship and be ready for the likely early start on Sunday for the Opening Plenary Session.

Sydney is well serviced by its train network and in

choosing your hotel look for something that is within

easy walking distance of a station that can get you to

Central quickly and onto that direct train service. That

way you have the potential to use either the train or

the bus services. That would also be useful in getting

you to evening events too.

Whilst I expect the Sydney HOC to be heavily

promoting the event I will keep you and Clubs updated

both in this Newsletter and on the D9790 website.

The Dayspring Children's Village was established 22 years ago by Rev Charles and Wendy Paine to meet the need for equal education and care for the disadvantaged.

Dayspring is located in Maanhaarrand, South Africa an hour northwest of Johannesburg.

It was birthed in the 1980's during apartheid and was one of the very few integrated boarding schools of its time. Over the years Dayspring Children's Village has assisted hundreds of students with the skills needed to further their education, gain employment and have a decent quality of life. The volunteer staff who have come and gone have also received assistance through training and administrative assistance to gain further employment

Today Dayspring Children's Village is formalised with the

establishment of a Section 21 company and is registered

as a Not for Profit Organisation. There is a formal Board of

Directors to guide the next stage of its vision to impact the

greater community.

The Schools Mission is to : PROVIDE LIFE SKILLS

Role model and teach Christian principles through extra curricular activities

Role model and teach Christian principles by providing a loving home environment for our boarders.

Past President Ruth Konig, a member of the Rotary Club of Yea is walking 850 kilometres from Lectour, France to Santiago de

Compostella in Spain.

Ruth reports, “I now have a travelling companion for the journey and we will send back reports of our progress. We have

already covered hundreds of kilometers in preparation and are overcoming the blister blight. I have also read hundreds of

pages of literature and can make a firm promise NOT to write a book on the experience. Thank you to the Rotary Club of Yea

for ongoing support. This is a worthy cause and we hope to gain wider sponsorship.”


Dear Rotarians,

My name is Karen and I'm a 28 year old doctor, and past District 9790 Rotary

Exchange Student (2001). Through my work, I've often witnessed the benefits of

blood transfusions in my patients, however it wasn't until I was diagnosed with

leukaemia recently that it really hit home.

Over the past several weeks my life has been saved by multiple red cell and platelet tr

ansfusions, and over the course of my treatment I will need many more.

I would like to thank all Rotarians who donate blood on a regular basis, and also

encourage those who are considering donating to become regular donors. Please

motivate your companions, not only within your own Rotary club, but also within your

work place, sporting and community clubs to support the Red Cross Blood Bank by

organising donations as a club or workplace group. Check out the details about Club

Red on the Red Cross site which will explain how you can help. Also, I would like to

draw attention to the National Bone Marrow Registry, which has the potential to offer

cure to patients like me who are suffering from leukaemia. I encourage all Rotarian

donors and their families who are under the age of 45 to put their name forward for the

registry, and potentially save a life.

I urge you to please consider your commitment to the Blood Bank.

Karen Woods

Karen Woods is the daughter of

Rotarian Jim and Carolyn

Woods.

The District 9790 Club Red

Challenge has been launched.

More information to follow.


What is the Club Red blood

donation program?

Club Red provides an opportunity for

organisations and groups across Australia to get

together and do something special by regularly

donating blood. Any business, community or

youth group can donate as part of Club Red.

Our District is now registered and has listed all

clubs within that.

If one single donation can save three lives,

imagine how many more could be saved if your

group donated together.

New to Club Red?

Follow these simple steps to add your own

members to your Club’s name:

1. Select a Club Red coordinator

This can be anyone in your club who is

enthusiastic enough to encourage others to

donate blood. The coordinator could be an

existing donor or someone who is unable to give

blood, but is passionate about the cause. To

help, we have information on the donation

process, eligibility criteria and promotional

materials. Our Club Red teams are on hand to

help with any questions.

2. Your Club is already Registered as a ‘division’ of

Rotary District 9790

You can join your Club already listed. Register your

self for Club Red, encourage your fellow club

members partners and friends to your listed Club to

donate and see the number of lives you save. Even

if individuals donate separately, donations still count

towards your Club's total.

Already a Club Red member?

You can see your donation tally and the number of

lives your Club has saved. What a great motivator

for your group to donate blood!

Simply ask them to register online, then encourage

donors to join Club Red online so their donations

count towards your group tally.

3. Donate together

You can make a group appointment by calling

13 95 96.

The Rotary Club of Pascoe Vale as part of its’ Community Service program has for the past three years awarded a member of

the Victoria Police stationed at the Fawkner Police Complex the Police Person of the Year award. With the award the recipient

is presented with a small shield a replica of the perpetual trophy which is displayed in the main foyer of the Police Station, the

recipient is also presented with a gift voucher. There is also a small presentation and gift presented to the runner up.

Representatives of the Club Community Service approach the Officer in Charge of the Police Station, usually a Senior Sergeant

and outline the award and the criteria. He/she is then asked to select six nominees and in conjunction with the Rotary Club

select the winner and runner up.

Criteria

The Officer would be required to have a minimum of two(2) years service in the Police area concerned.

Be nominated by the Officer in Charge of each Police Station or Work Unit and then forwarded via the Local Area

Commander and Divisional Commander for consideration;

Have demonstrated outstanding service to the community, with particular emphasis to the following;

Victoria Police values of flexibility, leadership, integrity, respect, professionalism, support, and

The members overall work ethic and contribution to the work environment and the community.

At the present time New South Wales has a Rotary Police Officer of the Year award and as such the award would only be

applicable to Clubs in the Victoria end of the District. Victoria Police encourages its members to become involved in the

Community and the Police view this program accordingly.

It is a win for both organisations. From a Clubs perspective it is a rewarding

program with relatively minor cost, the costs involved are;

a perpetual shield (one off cost), two small replica shields and

gift vouchers for the winner and runner up.

In this Rotary year we would like to have a District Police person of the year and to achieve this aim we are seeking as many clubs as possible to become involved in the program. If this is achieved each Club’s awardee will be eligible for selection as the District Police Person of the Year award .

Membership of a Rotary Club will give you the

opportunity to serve your local community, widen

your circle of friends, and participate in a world

wide organisation that helps to improve the lives of

millions of people across the globe through its many

world wide projects and promotes high standards of

ethics in business and the community.

Rotary is non-political, non-religious, and

membership of a Rotary club is open to men and

women of all cultures, races, and creeds.

Membership is vocationally based and is by

invitation. Recently some Australian Rotary clubs

have had a influx of couples as new members. This

enables couples who have a joint interest in the

community to participate together. Rotary

welcomes interested couples. Many Clubs have a

number of female members who are very active in

the club and provide a good gender balance.

Clubs meet on a weekly basis, some meet for a

‘breakfast clubs’, ‘Lunch Clubs’ and in the Evenings.

Members make a commitment to attend as many

meetings as possible and you may find it so

involving that you don’t want to miss a meeting !

Rotary members are welcome to attend any other

Rotary Club meeting throughout the world as a

visiting guest. This is a good opportunity to meet

new people with similar humanitarian interests.

Membership of Rotary enables you to fully

participate in all club activities and contribute your

ideas, skills, expertise and enthusiasm to Rotary

projects and fellowship.

If you feel that you would like to contribute to the

community, be part of a worldwide community

organisation, and believe you have high standards

of ethics and would enjoy the fellowship of like-

minded people, then you are most welcome to

contact a club near you learn more about becoming

a member.
