As the 2015-2016 Rotary year comes to a close, it is a time for reflection. I am so humbled to have served as your District Governor this year. It seems like yesterday when I was writing my first Governor’s article and now it is my last.
It has been a sincere pleasure getting to rekindle old friendships and make so many new ones. I will be forever grateful for this opportunity to work with so many amazing individuals throughout this District. I heard incredible and inspiring stories of service projects, attended numerous fundraisers and have seen the impact that our clubs are making to improve the quality of life for someone else.
Our Members. Our Strength.
Volunteers truly change the world – you don’t wait around for someone else to make the difference – you are the someone else! There is a passion among our members ― an enthusiasm, drive and commitment that brings positive change to our local and international communities. It takes special unselfishness to get your hands dirty, go where no one else wants to, and give of your time, talents and treasures. All of our 52 clubs are accomplishing our mission of Service Above Self and have indeed been A Gift to the World during the 2015-2016 Rotary Year and will continue this spirit. Thank you for your dedication and the pride you all exhibit in who we are as Rotarians.
A Team Effort.
Transition from year to year only works when you have a team. This District has worked diligently to build consistency from year to year. To do this, we work as a team with our past, current and future governors, assistant governors and committee leaders. We are blessed to have a great and dedicated team in District 6630 and because of this, our future is in good hands moving forward. We might not make sweeping and sudden changes, but we make lasting changes bit by bit, one step at a time. It’s the little changes added up together that influence generations upon generations and help us keep this District strong.
Champions of Change: District 6630
This was a year of change and our District ‘Rocked the Change’ including at our District Conference!! Change comes in many forms – from the flexibility for our clubs (approved by the recent Council On Legislation) to all of the new technology being implemented. We have diligently worked with Rotary International and our District leaders to strengthen communications to help clubs understand the changes, any impact on members and the purpose for the change. Embrace the changes and the new opportunities that your clubs face as the new Rotary Serving Humanity continues to define our efforts as the best service organization in the world!
Your indelible marks of love and compassion are a Gift to the World. Thank you for your friendship and the honor of working with you during the 2015-2016 Rotary year.

Make Your Club Meeting THE Place to Be!!Member engagement in the club, its activities and programs is vital. By “engagement” we mean that a member is committed to one or more of the club’s programs or activities as evidenced by his or her participation or monetary support – an investment of time, talents or treasures.
Attendance at the weekly meetings of the Club is one of the extremely important aspects of Rotary membership. Attending the meetings directly affects our Rotary experience. Good meeting attendance – if not perfect attendance – is important and a noble goal. It builds goodwill and better friendships and is beneficial to all concerned. I just happen to think that Rotarians should attend meetings because they want to and are interested in being there ---- not because of our rulebook! Members may not always realize that meeting attendance is an important measurement tool for club leaders. It reflects if members enjoy the club and the meetings.
Almost every Rotarian I know is very busy. We all have business or family obligations that make meeting attendance difficult at times. Most clubs tend to point fingers at non-attending Rotarians as “bad Rotarians.” On the other hand poor attendance says as much – or more – about the club as it does the individual. Often clubs with poor attendance are not giving the members what they want and that is something clubs must recognize and can fix!
Club leaders – you should be paying attention to membership records - but use them to assess the club, not condemn the Rotarian. Then have the courage to make the changes that the members want and you will make them raving fans of the Club and all its meetings and activities.
Your club might just need to dust itself off and create a vibrant atmosphere. It can be done.
Is your club attractive enough – is it fun, does it provide value to members – to keep members coming to meetings?
Talk with the members - those who are and are not coming and ask them:
"What is the club not providing to members that it should be?"
"What can we do to improve your Rotary experience in our Club ?" Focus on what you can change. And remember - one size does not fit all. What works for one club may not work for your club. Be flexible and open to trying new ideas.
Start by looking at:
- Location
- Meeting time - Speaker lineup - Communications Here are examples of what some clubs are doing:
1. A lunch club offered an alternative breakfast meeting with great success. Members who had not been able to be at the lunch meeting for years showed up! Now they are considering a Satellite Breakfast Club.
2. A morning club meets at various locations each week - they "Rotate". To keep people informed they simply put it on their website and in their newsletters. Visitors are directed call before visiting the club for their "rotating" meeting location.
3. A lunch club holds cocktail parties at least quarterly and encourages people to bring a friend. There is no presentation, just a warm welcome and an opportunity to connect with one another.
4. Another morning club started a monthly after-hours gathering for emerging leaders in the community. Rotarians are encouraged to bring a non-Rotarians with them.
A well run Rotary club has meetings and events that members attend because they want to, not because they have to. They participate because they want to spend time with their friends, because the meetings are fun, because of good programs, or especially because they know they will be greeted warmly and made to feel welcome – which is increasingly unusual in our impersonal computer-based world!
Need more assistance or ideas to re-energize your meetings? Call Lance Chima, District Membership Chair at 330- 388-8892 or via email lance@chimatravel.net or me at 330-495-9814 or at cawarren@neo.rr.com.

 RI President-elect Gary C.K. Huang chose Light Up Rotary as his theme for 2014-15. Huang was inspired by the teachings of Chinese philosopher Confucious who said: "It is better to light a single candle, than to sit and curse the darkness." "There are so many problems in the world, so many people who need help. Many people say, 'There's nothing I can do.' So they sit there doing nothing. Meanwhile everything stays dark," Huang told the 537 district governors and their spouses and partners who are attending the 2014 International Assembly in San Diego, California.

Dear Rotarians and Friends of Rotary:
Rotarian Dave Diffendal participated in a Polio Immunization Day
on Sunday in India...this is a photo his wife Laura shared with us taken just after
he had administered two "life-saving drops" of Polio vaccine
helping to keep the children of India "Polio-free."
India was declared Polio-free last Monday - below are entries from
Rotary International's Facebook page about this momentous occasion.
 END Polio NOW – A Polio Free India
(Excerpts from Rotary International’s Facebook page)
"India was a country where it was once thought polio could never be eradicated."
On Monday, January 13, 2014 India was declared POLIO FREE! In 1988, the forty-first World Health Assembly adopted a resolution for the worldwide eradication of polio. Here are some polio certification facts: Regions as a whole are certified as polio free. For certification, all countries in the Region need to not register a case of wild polio for 3 years in the presence of high quality surveillance. The formal process for certification of polio eradication was established in 1995 at the first meeting of the Global Certification Commission (GCC). There are National Certification Committees (NCCs) who focus on analysis at the country level. In SEARO, each of the 11 member states has a NCC. All Regions have a certification commission. For SEARO there is the South-East Asia Regional Certification Commission which comprises eleven global and regional experts. It is this commission that can certify the South-East Asia Region as polio free. Three Regions (Americas, 1994; Western Pacific, 2000; Europe, 2002) have already been certified as polio free.

I want to start by saying Thank You. Without your help I wouldn't be where I am right now. Although I'm just 1 kid out of the hundreds you have assisted on sending abroad, you all will always be the people who helped change my life. I often think about how different my life would have been had I not left just 3 short months ago, and how happy I am that I left the States. Of course my trip has been bumpy, but I always knew you all would do your best to help me. Knowing I had the support of my new friends, family, and Rotarians meant a lot to me.
I remember my first day like it was yesterday. My journey started off with me almost missing my 1st airplane due to a mix up of gates. Thankfully I got to my plane on time and I made it to Chicago where I met up with other exchange students coming to South Korea too. I knew that by stepping on each airplane I was further giving up my version of "comfortable" and "normal" for the unknown. Nothing was a guarantee. I stepped on each airplane with my back straight and all the confidence I had. I spent the 14 hour plane ride talking with the other exchange students, we compared our different "correct" versions of saying each word, and sleeping. Once we arrived in Seoul we took a few extra minutes to say our goodbyes to each other, knowing once we walked out of the terminal we would be instantly separated. My host family treated me to a large feast at their daughter's favorite restaurant my first night. It all tasted delicious.

While Americans are preparing for flu season, we shouldn't forget global diseases that are less visible -- yet far more devastating -- that require the world's attention. To many Americans, diseases like polio and measles may seem to be threats of the past. But they continue to cripple and kill children in other parts of the world. World Polio Day, which we recognized on October 24, is a reminder that even though this disease is gone from the United States, it must not be forgotten. Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan have not yet been able to stop the transmission of polio. This has far-reaching consequences for all countries, including the United States. As Dr. Thomas Frieden, Director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has said, "Polio anywhere in the world is a risk everywhere in the world." Polio is a highly contagious disease that moves quickly and does not respect borders. Countries, especially those with a low immunization level against polio, are at risk of importing the disease. A recent outbreak in the Horn of Africa is a sobering reminder that until polio is eradicated, pockets of outbreaks will continue to paralyze children for life. We must put an end to this devastating disease.

Emmy Award-winning actress Archie Panjabi talked about her work as a Rotary ambassador for polio eradication on World Polio Day, 24 October, at a special Livestream presentation by Rotary and the Northwestern University Center for Global Health. The 90-minute event – World Polio Day: Making History; was held before a live audience at the John Hughes Auditorium on Northwestern’s Chicago campus.
The event features an overview of the progress of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. Panjabi will join world’s leading expert on polio eradication, Dr. Bruce Aylward, assistant director-general for Polio, Emergencies and Country Collaboration at the World Health Organization; Dennis Ogbe, polio survivor, Paralympian, and ambassador for theUnited Nations Foundation’s Shot@Life campaign to promote child immunization; and Dr. Robert Murphy, professor of medicine-infectious diseases at Northwestern’s Feinberg School of Medicine. |

Last Saturday's Interact District Dodge-ball Tournament was a big success with Interact clubs fielding 11 Dodge-ball Teams!
Congratulations to the winning team, the "Slendermen", from North Royalton Broadview Heights! As the winners they got to choose International charity to receive all the proceeds from the event - their choice to send the proceeds to Polio Plus will help immunize hundreds of children against polio! Every one had a great time playing dodge-ball, eating pizza, and socializing. Having a great time, raising funds, and completing an International project. Another stroke of genius put together by the Interact Club of North Royalton Broadview Heights - they deserve congratulations too! |

More Sandy Relief information - this is the information from NY, NJ, and CT Districts that I tried to share below...
This just in (via DG Melissa Ward) from DG Bonnie Sirower (NJ) - it's truly heart breaking Dear Rotarians and other Friends… A week after the storm, things are slowly starting to return to what is now taken for normal. But we have another nor'easter that will hit our region tomorrow, bringing with it wet snow, heavy winds and flooding. We all fear that any progress made thus far will be undone by this new storm. At a District 7490 Staff meeting last night that 75 District Staff, club Presidents and members attended, DG Joan Vas of District 7500 (Ocean, Monmouth and Burlington Counties), DG John Andrews of District 7460 (Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland and Gloucester Counties) and Matts Ingemanson, DGE from District 7230 (Manhattan, Staten Island, Westchester, Bronx and Bermuda) all gave reports on their districts. Joan reported on the devastation that hit her district, with many towns washed away, including the iconoclastic Seaside Heights Amusement Park. People are without homes or infra-structure. Many roads were washed away. Even government buildings have been washed away. John Andrews told us that Brigantine was pretty much wiped off the map, and that there were 3,000 refugees from the storm stranded in shelters in Atlantic City. Matts talked about the despair on Staten Island, where homes were swept away and 19 lives were lost. In my own District, the towns of Little Ferry, Moonachie and Carlstadt were totally inundated. The water came in so fast at 2 pm in the morning after a berm broke by the Hackensack River that even emergency personnel had to be rescued. About 40% of us (this author included) still have no power, and there are very LONG gasoline lines, as deliveries cannot get through and many gas stations have no power. As Rotarians, we are participating in VOAD, the Volunteer Organizations Aiding in Disasters. This group is holding a daily conference call so that we can all coordinate our efforts to provide supplies and volunteers. Where to bring donated items We have established three warehouses in our District to which donors from all over may bring supplies. |

For the past three years, Rotary clubs have illuminated landmarks and iconic structures around the world with the humanitarian group's dramatic pledge to End Polio Now. This year's round of light displays takes on added significance due to the progress Rotary and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative have made in India. In January, India -- until recently an epicenter of the crippling childhood disease -- reached a historic milestone by marking a full year without recording a single new case. |
