As we enter a new year and reflect on the last year, we are filled with hope of a “new” year – even though January 1 is just the day after December 31. My reflections are of sitting in a third-grade classroom learning about Orwell’s book “1984” and wondering if I would live to see the year 2000. Now here we are in 2021.
This last year we each shared life-changing events in lives all over the world, in our communities and in ourselves. We realize how precious life itself is, and true to our shared values, I see Rotary members reaching out and lending a hand to others, protecting each other by being safe and careful, and sharing our resources.
Every Rotary meeting I attend, I feel such a sense of pride and gratefulness for being a Rotary member with each of you. To quote an Assistant Governor “Covid did not stop our clubs.” Everywhere in the district, clubs have found ways to assist people in their communities with needs that the pandemic brought, whether it is food, PPE, school supplies, protection for front line workers in hospitals, fire departments, or in nursing homes. Everyone learned new tech skills to facilitate meetings and fundraisers and found opportunities to meet the challenges. Fellowship is so important to us. We like to be with our friends, but we put safety first and learned to depend on our health departments’ guidance while we wait for vaccines.
Many of you have asked if I have had further guidance from Rotary International regarding in-person meetings. I have not received an update since the one stating that as a representative of R.I. I was to not attend club meetings or hold any district events until December 31, 2020, and to suspend Youth exchange programs until June 30, 2021. We were notified that the International Assembly of District Governor’s elect will be held virtually From February 1-11. The District has held virtual meetings for all Presidents-Elect training and Interaction. Moving forward we will continue to hold virtual meetings for:
• All Ohio Presidents-Elect Training March 11-13, 2021
• Four-Way Test Speech Contest April 10, 2021
• District Conference of Clubs April 22-24, 2021
• District Leadership Assembly (dates to be announced)
R.I. President Holger Knaack informed the District Governors last week that an announcement will be forthcoming regarding whether the International Conference scheduled for Taipei in June will be held in person or virtually.
As District Governor, my strong recommendation is that you continue to work with your local health departments and your club legal advisors as you consider events and meetings.
Check out all of the exciting things happening in our clubs in the newsletter this month and contact those of us volunteering this year in positions, such as Assistant Governor, public image and membership committees, for support and ideas for your clubs. We are all here to serve and we love to celebrate and share good news and creative ways each of you are staying connected.
If your Club subscribes to ClubRunner create an event within ClubRunner and mark the event to be shown on the District website. Your events will then appear within the Club Calendar on both, the District Bulletin and District home page.

A best-selling author, public speaker, speechwriter, political commentator, and executive communications consultant, Cleveland native Mark Weinberg is long-time spokesman, advisor, and speechwriter to President Ronald Reagan. He has served at the highest levels of government and in communications management positions at Fortune 500 corporations.

The Rotary Club of Aurora is holding a 50/50 raffle for Valentine's Day. The deadline to enter is Feb. 13 at midnight and the drawing will be on Valentine's Day.
The drawing will replace the Aurora Rotary's biggest fundraising event this year, which was cancelled because of the pandemic.
THE LAKEWOOD RIVER SUNRISE ROTARY CLUB BOOKS FOR KIDS PROJECT IS A BIG SUCCESS WITH OVER 3,500 BOOKS DONATED TO THE BOOK BANK.
The Citizens of Rocky River and visitors to the Umerley Hall Books for Kids Donation Bin have generously supported this Lakewood Rocky River Sunrise Rotary Project. The photo above shows just one of the twice a month pick up of books from the Bin. Club members, Patty Boesken, Carol Barrett and Club President, Eric Jolly are shown unloading the Bin for delivery to the Book Bank in Ohio City. The Book Bank reports that over 3,500 books have been collected from the Bin since its installation by Civic Center staff in August 2019.
The Books for Kids project is a national program that was established in 1986. It is founded on the belief all children have a right to books and deserve dedicated spaces where they can read. The project is designed to expand access to books in the places where children learn, live, and play, and to empower adults to read alongside them in order to develop lifelong literacy skills during the most critical years of their development.
The Cleveland Kids’ Book Bank mission is to foster literacy and a love of reading by distributing free books to children in need through collaboration with community organizations. The Kids’ Book Bank opened in February 2016 to receive, manage, and distribute truckloads of books every month. About 30% of their books come from the community. The rest come from online used booksellers.
The Rocky River Kids’ Book Bank outdoor collection bin, just one of several around the Cleveland, provides a place where community members can deposit new and gently-used children’s books that they are no longer using. The Book Bank distributes the donated books through over 1,000 partner organizations who work with children and parents to encourage them to read.
The Lakewood Rocky River Sunrise Rotary appreciates the continued support of Rocky River Mayor Pam Bobst, who arranged for the Bin installation and promoted book donations for this worthwhile project. The staff at Rocky River Civic Center, Mike Balla and Bob Holub, selected a location and arranged for the installation of a pad for the Kids’ Book Bank collection bin. It is located on the Memorial Hall side of the Don Umerley Civic Center, on the way to the Rec Center entrance.
The Sunrise Club is one of two Rotary Clubs in Lakewood and Rocky River. One Club meets on Mondays at Noon and the other meets on Wednesdays at 7:30am. Both currently meet on Zoom, but hope to soon resume meeting at the Umerley Hall of the Rocky River Civic Center located at Hilliard and West 210, behind Rocky River City Hall. Both Clubs follow the motto of Rotary – Service Above Self. The Books for Kids project, in partnership with the Kids’ Book Bank, is just one of Rotary’s many Community, Vocational, Youth and International projects.
You are invited join with the men and women of Rotary and add your time and talent.
Motivated by other clubs that have replaced in-person fund raisers with creative virtual solutions Geauga West has launched a virtual " Shining Stars Raffle".
The Raffle replaces our annual Shining Stars silent auction that has been in place for 30 years.
Planning and implementation lead by President Skip Claypool and Rotarians Jim Kish, Fred Nevar, Derek Taylor and Bob Voss has engaged all 34 members. Officially announced today with a full page ad in the Chesterland News, website links and on Facebook we have high hopes for a great response. Transactions are virtual through pay pal, credit card or the good old US Mail.
As suggested by other clubs, we have engaged all of the organizations we have supported throughout the years to help promote the Raffle as well as our terrific sponsor University Hospitals.
The initiative has raised the spirits of the club with the leadership now expecting fund raising to exceed that of previous years and the club also expects to attract new members. See attached flyer for more details. Also available on Geauga West Rotary on Club Runner. Please play this forward and share the idea with other clubs

I am forwarding information on a virtual water conference offered by the organization that the Kent Club, along with others in or District, have worked with to construct water projects in Central America.
Thank you,
Carol Crimi, Rotary Club of Kent
I am excited to announce CoCoDA’s 2021 Virtual Sun and Water Conference on April 17-18, 2021. This event is intended to gather Central Americans and North Americans on Zoom for two days of learning, story, inspiration, and conversation about the impact of solar powered water systems in rural Central American communities.
We recognize not everyone gets as excited about that as we do, but we also know you are someone who can appreciate how these water systems change communities forever! We’re hoping you will join us for the conference. More importantly, we’re hoping you’ll share the attached promotion with your network, especially with those who might have that rare combination – a passion for water and for Central America. The promotion includes the tentative schedule for the event.
Please take a few minutes to review the promotional materials, to register for the event and to pass this information onto others. Once we receive your registration, we’ll send you more information in preparation for the event.
As always, thank you for your support of CoCoDA and of Central Americans

During the month of December 2020, the E-ClubNEO (Satellite Club of the Rotary Club of Northampton-Cuyahoga Valley) rolled up their figurative sleeves and set to work on their latest service project: creating “Birthday Bags” for Portage County Job and Family Services. As noted in the last district newsletter, these birthday bags contained items that could accommodate a small birthday party for children and adolescents ages 1 through 18. Essentially a “birthday party in a bag” each contained specific items such as birthday cake fixings, decorative tableware, decorations such as balloons and crepe paper, wrapping paper for a gift, and a small favor for other birthday party attendees (e.g., glitter slime, harmonicas, coloring books, etc.). The E-Club members weathered the social distancing guidelines by shopping for items on their own, but teamed up in small groups (COVID-style) to complete bags for each age level.
At the time of the first delivery, the E-ClubNEO created 45 (of the 200 targeted for the year) bags to provide birthday celebrations for these youngsters! We also enjoyed working with each other, digitally and in-person (safely) to complete this great activity.
The E-ClubNEO is still interested in teaming up with our fellow Rotarians! If you would like more information on the project or would like assist the E-ClubNEO in fulfilling the 200-bag commitment, please contact Project Chair Kathryn Craig: craig.kathryn2008@gmail.com
For more information about E-ClubNEO, please visit www.eclubneo.org
Yours in Service -

At the beginning of January, a committee of two Chagrin Valley Rotarians...Jeff Griff & Mary Ann Ponce, on behalf of the Club Board met to hash out the details with a “Gift” we wanted to give the Rotary Clubs in our District 6630.
Rotarian Mary Ann actually founded the Chagrin Documentary Film Festival 11 years ago...a tribute to her 20 year old son, a filmmaker who died of cancer.
For the past 5 years, the Chagrin Valley Rotary Club has sponsored a special Award...”Service Above Self” that embodies the Rotary Motto. So Jeff Griff suggested we offer all 4 films to our District Rotary Clubs...no charge because it is the right thing. The films can be viewed on line during the whole month of February!
Service Above Self Award Winner: In Case of Emergency
Three Runners-Up: “A Flash of Green”, “Liberation Heroes: The Last Eyewitnesses”, “My Father’s Brothers”

CALLING ALL CLUBS
During the last several months of 2020 approximately 7 of our district clubs in 2 clusters came together to send new games, CD’s, tapes and puzzles to our Veterans in the Cares unit at our Wade VA hospital in Cleveland to help occupy their time during their medical care.
I spent over 7 weeks at the VA hospital last year, these items were much needed to help them occupy their time with a value of over 700 dollars. With being at the VA, PDG Jack Harig, DGND Julie Brandle and Lynda Farkas made this happen for our Veterans.
Since the new year of 2021 is with us, I am asking all Rotary Clubs in our district to participate and provide these new items to our veterans to help them during their medical confinement and challenging times of Covid 19.
I encourage all clubs to make some contribution either with new items or a financial donation to purchase these items to our Veterans.
The goal that I would like to see is to have 100 percent of our Rotary clubs to participate in someway to support our Veterans. We should never forget that some of our Veterans sacrificed their families and lives for our freedom as United States citizens.
Please remember that due to Covid, all items must be new.
With that let us show our Veterans at Wade Park that we as Rotary support and care about their well being. A special thank you to our clubs who have already supported this effort with the help of PDG Jack, DGND Julie and Lynda.
For more information on how you can help as a cluster or Rotary Club, please feel free to contact me at 440-759-4000 or Jack1villa@aol.com

A roundup of Rotary news
Help on wheels
During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic in Uganda, strict travel restrictions were making it difficult for some pregnant women to get to a hospital to deliver their babies. After reports that some mothers and their babies had died, the Rotary Club of Rubaga, Kampala created a free transportation program, retrofitting a member’s vehicle into a makeshift ambulance. The club provided more than 75 rides before travel restrictions were eased. They continue to support mothers and children through health events that provide free dental, optical, and reproductive health care. It's just one example of how clubs around the world have been stepping up to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
This week's stories
Share your COVID-19 related efforts
Rotary clubs are encouraged to use the collective knowledge of vaccine safety and efficacy we have gained through our polio eradication experience to support vaccination education and outreach in your communities. Clubs are also encouraged to engage with our current polio eradication partners WHO and UNICEF at the country level where applicable to offer Rotary’s support to COVID-19 response activities, and to partner at the local level with health departments and other agencies. Let the Rotary world know what your club or district is doing to support COVID-19 vaccine introduction efforts by sharing them on Rotary Showcase.
Why Rotary branding matters
It might seem like a small thing, but a logo that isn’t used properly can create confusion and mistrust. When clubs use Rotary’s logos consistently and properly, we maintain a global Rotary brand that members, donors, and the public can trust. In the first of a series of Rotary Voices blog posts on this topic, Rotary’s brand specialist Liz Thiam explains why clubs should use the Rotary logo correctly in their communities.

Helping club and district leaders achieve success
January 2021
DISTRICT CORNER
Do you know a good Rotary Peace Fellow candidate?
In a glass-enclosed dojo in the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai, Sombat Tapanya teaches children the principles of peace through aikido. A psychologist who specialized in childhood trauma, he uses insights he gained as a Rotary Peace Fellow at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok in 2016. (Watch the video above.) Every year, Rotary awards up to 130 fully funded fellowships for dedicated leaders like Tapanya to study at one of our peace centers. Your district can endorse as many qualified candidates as you wish, anywhere in the world, at no cost to your district. Learn more about the application process, which begins in February, and how you can support the Peace Centers.
EVENTS
Presidential conferences showcase Rotaract
RI President Holger Knaack will hold three virtual presidential conferences that will showcase the leadership of Rotaract members and collaboration between Rotaract and Rotary around the world. Knaack said he chose to focus on Rotaract leaders because young people have the potential to reshape our organization: “The COVID-19 epidemic has made clear that we are living in a different world, a world dominated by young people with the foresight and drive to take advantage of rapid change.” The three events will be hosted from Brazil, 15-16 January;Nigeria, 22-24 January; and the United States, 14-16 May.
GRANTS
Protecting the environment
Through Rotary’s new area of focus, protecting the environment, members will work to comprehensively solve specific problems that harm the environment. This will give us bigger opportunities to build on the service we’re already doing to improve the environment in our communities. Members can apply for global grants in this area beginning next 1 July. Learn more about how Rotary helps protect the environment.
BRAND FIDELITY
Why you should care about Rotary branding
It might seem like a small thing, but a logo that isn’t used properly can create confusion and mistrust. We always want to use Rotary’s logos consistently and properly to maintain a global Rotary brand that members, donors, and the public can trust. Over the next year, we plan to talk much more about branding. In the first of a series of Rotary Voices blog posts on this topic, Rotary’s brand specialist, Liz Thiam, explains why clubs should use the Rotary logo correctly in their communities and how they can do that.
LEARNING CENTER
How to make your club vibrant
The Rotary Club of Seoul was established in 1927 as the first club in Korea. In recent years, though, its membership had been diminishing. Club leaders took steps to transform the club, including founding a satellite club for English-speaking leaders ages 19-35 and offering a convertible membership program.
How healthy is your club? The Is Your Club Healthy? course in the Learning Center will show you how to use the Rotary Club Health Check, the first step in becoming a vibrant and healthy club.
