GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE

Marblehead Harbor Rotary

The Grinch! Live in Abbot Hall, Marblehead... The spirit of the holi-days was alive and well when the Grinch stopped in to visit a packed house at Holiday POPS 2012, co-sponsored by the Rotary Club of Marblehead Harbor and VNA Care Network on Saturday, December 8. The event was the 15th annual event which over the years has raised more than $350,000 to bene-fit the programs of Rotary and health care services of the VNA.

Marblehead Harbor Rotary cele-brated its 15th annual Holiday POPS concert by inviting noted Salem artist Racket Shreve (Pictured above, photo by Margo Steiner) to create the Club's signature art for the event. The original of “Marblehead Whimsey" was raffled off at the concert, prints and note cards of Shreve's wonderful painting were available as well. This is the second time Racket has generously created the POPS' art work.

It is hard to believe that we

are heading into the second

half of the Rotary year! The

New Year brings a sense of

new beginnings for many of

us in our personal lives and

our professional lives. Let us

take that feeling and energize

ourselves in our Rotary lives.

Have you done that “extra

something” that I have asked

you to do to help strengthen

your club? Have you invited

a new member? Helped to

promote Rotary in your com-

munity? Helped make im-

provements in your clubs

projects and fundraisers? If

we can all do one small extra

this year, the results will be

amazing!

The World Peace dinner is

coming up in early February.

I am hoping to have partici-

pation from all of the clubs.

In this year of “Peace Through Service” this

event becomes especially

meaningful. I am looking

forward to hearing about all

of the clubs peace projects.

I wish you and your families

happy holidays and hope that

you have peace in your own

lives. Thank you for all you

do as Rotarians to make the

world a better place.

Yours in Rotary,

Terri

District 7930

Assistant Governors 2012-13

Outreach Inc – Kids Care Dear Rotarians.

I got ordained 10 years ago. At our 2011 assembly, our

synod’s purpose statement was announced: To go where

love leads, to serve where love calls. I decided to move from

the parish into the non-profit world. I now work with Out-

reach Inc – Kids Care, packaging very inexpensive (25

cents/serving), very nutritious (21 vitamins & minerals and

11 grams of protein/serving) meals for local people who are

hungry.

Thanks to the encouragement of District 7950 Governor

Joe Clancy, many Rotarians have been involved in our

events. I have also worked extensively with Lutherans,

United Methodists, the United Church of Christ, Episcopa-

lians, Catholics, Baptists, Quakers, the Church of the Breth-

ren, and Jewish synagogues, serving together across commu-

nities. We have packaged over 1.2 million meals in New

England, NY, and PA since the beginning of last school

year, 565,000 in the last 3 months alone.

If you are interested in feeding hungry people in your

county, please check out the attachments and then e-mail

me back:

1. A couple of brochures

2. Something called the basics

3. Food insecurity by county

4. My calendar

There are many Rotary Ambassa-dorial Scholars studying in our District, most on a one year pro-gram. As part of the Ambassado-rial part of the program, they are required to visit and make presen-

tations to l0 to 15 Rotary clubs, and participate in some of their activities, especially community events and service projects.

Clubs are expected and encouraged to invite scholars to their clubs and homes to partake in the Rotary experience, and also enjoy some New England hospitality.

Christopher is from the University of Graz in Austria. He was se-lected from a pool of about 75 applicants to study at Harvard Medical School where he is a Research Scholar working towards his MD Degree. He already has a BSc and MSc in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from the University of Graz.

Christopher has committed to attending the District World Peace & Understanding dinner, the Polar Plunge, Rotary Club of Win-throp Auction, RYLA at Camp Rotary, and the District Confer-ence in Portsmouth, NH.

He is looking forward to fulfilling his club visitation requirement. If you need an interesting and informative speaker, a RAS is the one.

Christopher can be reached by email <[email protected]>, or cell # 617 283 6861.

Please feel free to contact me at <[email protected]> or 617 519 5081 for any assistance with setting up a program.

MALDEN ROTARY CLUB Hello Rotarians!

On behalf of the entire Malden Rotary Club, I am so very pleased that our member PDG Julia Phelps is being selected for nominee as Rotary International Director from Zone 32. This is wonderful news and we are very proud of this tremendous accomplish-ment. Below is a statement from Julia...

It's official! I just received the official letter from the General Secretary at Rotary International telling me that I am the nominee for Rotary Inter-national Director from Zone 32. My name will be put in nomination at the International Convention in Lisbon, Portugal this June and I will start my term on July 1, 2014 and serve until June, 30, 2016. It goes without saying that Steve and I are "over the moon" with excite-ment. Being selected by fellow Rotarians to represent them on the RI Board of Directors is truly an honor. Being only the 7th woman in the world to be selected to serve in this position is humbling. Steve and I are looking forward to making a difference and doing good in the world!

Respectfully submitted, David D'Arcangelo, President - Malden Rotary Club ————————————————————————————————————————————

"Rotary's Bequest Society" "Are you aware that you can give substantial support to the Ro-tary Foundation's effort to change and save lives through a variety of international humanitarian programs, and that you do not need any cash to do so? You can become a member of the Bequest Soci-ety with a gift of $10,000 or more by adding a codicil to your will, naming the Rotary Foundation as beneficiary. Distinctive recogni-tion pins are given to acknowledge such support. Not only does making such a bequest provide for the future integrity of the Foundation but your recognition can serve as an inspiration to other Rotarians.

ANDOVER INTERACT CLUB ANDOVER TEENS

GATHER 300+ COATS AND

BLANKETS FOR LAZARUS HOUSE

The sixty members of the Rotary Interact Club of Andover High School spent the first weeks of November organizing the contribution of 300 coats and blankets to Lazarus House in Lawrence. Not an obvious choice with all the other activities in which teenagers can invest their time and energy. The Rotary Club of Andover sponsors the AHS INTERACT Club.

“It’s terrible to be cold” commented Ali the Club President, “and a lot of people do have old coats they can contribute.”. The AHS Club is one of 10,900 INTERACT Clubs in 109 countries with over 200,000 young people ages 12-18 as members.

Amy LaMarche, the Rotary Club of Andover Advisor to AHS INTER-ACT, was proud of the community service spirit displayed by the INTER-ACT Club members. Amy commented that each year the Club must complete at least two community service projects that help develop lead-ership skills and personal integrity, while demonstrating helpfulness and respect for others.

On November 16, Lazarus House Community Development Director Dennis McCarthy thanked the teens for their individual and club efforts in an outstanding community service project at Andover High School.

The Rotary Club of Andover is a civic organization of business and pro-fessional men and women who do a great deal of good throughout the Merrimack Valley and at the same time have a lot of fun contributing to our local and international communities. The Club meets Fridays at 7:30AM at the Lanam Club, 260 N. Main Street.

BURLINGTON BREAKFAST CLUB VS HURRICANE SANDY by Ray Graber, Past President, PR Chair, Burlington Breakfast

I want to share this experience with friends and Rotarians in the Dis-trict.

I grew up in Wood-Ridge, NJ, the town next to Moonachie and luckily it is situated at a higher elevation. Seeing the devastation from Sandy on the news was one thing – a sense of “That’s such a shame”, but a bit detached from reality much like Katrina and other horrible events. What brought the situation home to me was this Facebook posting from a classmate and now a teacher in Wood-Ridge.

“Just got out of faculty meeting. Heartbreaking... The kids in Moonachie (K-8) have lost everything, both their homes and their school. The town officials are actually tell-ing the families they can go home to the trailers and today the little kids were saying how they are sleeping with their wet/ damp blankets. They will be moving in with the Wood-Ridge district most likely for the rest of the year... I know many people are in need right now and so many of you have done so much already, but if you could, they are most in need of new/clean blankets food toiletries hats gloves diapers. They said they have received lots of clothing, but anything is appreciated. Also, guidance depart-ment is putting backpacks together with school supplies in each. Those are also appre-ciated... I will come pick things up if you have them or they can be dropped off/sent to the Wood-Ridge High School 258 Hackensack St. Wood-Ridge, NJ 07075.”

I mentioned this experience at a Burlington Breakfast Club meeting. I ex-pected a motion for the club to donate some funds, since the District was offering to accumulate the funds for the relief effort. However, immediately after my remarks, members came to me with personal donations and prom-ises to help. The club members contributed $750.00 of their own money and asked the club to kick in the difference to make the amount an even $1,000.00. Between that meeting and the next, I tracked down the Rotary club for Moonachie (South Bergen Rotary Club) and spoke to its vice presi-dent, Maria Rini. We arranged for me to visit the club the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and I handed the money to their president, Bobby Olson, Jr.

The South Bergen Club has 13 members from Moonachie and Little Ferry, NJ. Bobby suggested how we could donate and gives a sense of how active they are: “…..through our club's various upcoming projects including a Thanksgiving dinner (11/18) for the residents of Moonachie or for part of our distribution early next week (we are receiving 150+ mattresses and are looking to also give out new children's coats, toiletries, blankets/towels at the same time).” This is indeed the ‘face of Rotary’.

Pictured above: Bobby Olson, Jr. (l), president of the South Bergen (NJ) Ro-tary Club, receives a donation of $1,000.00 from Ray Graber, past president of the Burlington Breakfast Rotary Club. The South Bergen Club includes Moonachie and Little Ferry, NJ; two communities that found themselves under 6 feet of water from a breeched levee on the banks of the Hackensack River caused by hurricane Sandy.

Northshore Rotary Clubs have created a joint project to train 50 teachers in Pakistan's Kyber Pakhtunwa province. Beverly, Ipswich, Danvers Rotary Clubs, along with Past-President of Hamilton/Wenham Club. Dave Carey donated funds to make up the $3,000 total required for the 5 days of training to be held in Peshawar. The course will be conducted in DOSTI School #1 beginning on Dec. 26 by faculty

members of the Department of Education, University of Pesha-war.

The teachers are from the com-munity supported network of the Dosti Welfare Organization which has 14 schools in the area. There will be 48 teachers and 2 administrators attending the training which will cover many areas of effective teaching techniques as well as administra-tive and training. The result of this training will impact 4,000

children's education in areas where polio is still raising its evil head. The End Polio Now cam-paign will also be included in the new curriculum develop-ment.

DOSTI, and its US funding arm, Global Education Cam-paign ( http://globaleducationcam-paign.homestead.com/homepage.html ) is very grateful to these clubs for this boost in the quality of the education they are providing to the poorest of the poor in the area.

Hello Fellow Rotarians and Rotaractors,

Just wanted to give you a heads-up about an opportunity for Rotary Clubs to work together with a like-minded service organization, the YWCA. Starting on Friday, April 26, 2013 and continuing through Sunday, April 28, 2013, YWBoston will be running its Stand against Racism.

Online registration (on behalf of your club or employing organiza-t i o n ) i s e a s y : h t t p : / /www. standaga inst rac i sm.org/become_participating_site.html AND we now have official permis-sion from YWBoston to combine their motto and ours! “Stand Against Racism-

Peace through Service” Please do not hesitate to contact me (as a Stand against Racism Steering Committee member) if you'd like to use me as a sounding-board for your

ideas about potential Stands. (Please note that online registration is not binding-- our Steering Committee members are delighted to help de-velop your ideas into reality!)

Stands can take many forms. A simple first-time Stand could be showing a video followed by a brief discussion.

An "intermediate" Stand, for an organization where there is already widespread support for standing for diversity, could be forming a hu-man chain outside the workplace at lunchtime. Neighborhood Health Plan and Boston Architectural Col-lege both did this last year. It is visibly powerful. Pope John Paul II Catholic Academy's Columbia cam-pus has already registered to do this--right at the corner of Dorchester Ave. and Columbia Road--this com-ing April 26!

An "advanced" Stand, for veteran Stand-ers, might be to cooperate

with neighboring firms in the same building, or scale up last year's ef-forts in cooperation with other businesses in your neighborhood. Staunch supporters like Holland Knight and Home for Little Wan-derers are taking this approach.

Whatever you decide to do on Fri-day, I'd like to encourage you to support Downtown Boston Ro-tary's Stand:

THE 3RD ANNUAL

BOSTON 2.62

ON THE BOSTON COMMON SUNDAY MORNING

APRIL 28, 2013

Our family-friendly mini-marathon is in support of our club's commu-nity service projects and the Sole Train mentored running program fo r urban youth ( h t tp ://

www.trinityinspires.org/soletrain/ ).

If you'd like to run, just register o n l i n e a t : h t t p s : / /r e g i s t e r . g o r u n . o r g /CommonMansMarathon/

If you can't run but would like to sponsor either a Sole Train youth runner and/or their mentor, or if your employing organization might like to sponsor a team of its employ-ees to run, or if you'd like to con-tribute directly to help launch our community-based Dorchester Inter-act club, PLEASE reply to me, and I will let you know as soon as we get our IndieGoGo site up.

PLEASE feel free to forward this to any Rotarians, as well as friends and family who are committed to stand-ing against racism and growing peace through service.

Thank you kindly. Ryn Miake-Lye

MARBLEHEAD ROTARIANS GET A

LESSON IN HISTORY BY ROBERT GOODWIN, THE AUTHOR OF "ELBRIDGE GERRY-MARBLEHEAD'S

FORGOTTEN SON" AT ITS WEEKLY LUNCHEON, DECEMBER 13, 2012.

Robert Goodwin is a 16th generation native of Marblehead. As a teacher, businessman, and environmentalist, he has lived in London, Puerto Rico, Europe and California. His interests are in human history, cultural pres-ervation, natural resource governance and its effect on social harmony and human rights. Robert holds a B.A. in Anthropology from California State University Domingues Hills and an M.A. in History from UMASS-Boston. He is also pursuing a Ph.D in Global Governance.

Robert spoke to the Rotarians about the life of Elbridge Gerry and about Gerry's contribution to the Town of Marblehead. Robert's research for this new biography of Gerry took five years and included the review of new primary sources, such as Gerry's private family diary, personal letters, and missing personal records, and helped Robert shed new light on a unique individual from a foregone era. To further underscore Elbridge Gerry's historic contribution to Marblehead, Robert donated half of the proceeds from today's sale of his book to Rotarians, to the Marblehead Rotary Club, which supports the town's various local needs.
