President Ray Klinginsmith’s address To The 101st Convention of Rotary International,

June 23, 2010, Montreal, Canada

Thank you for your warm reception, both for me and my family. I am honored to serve as the 100th president of Rotary, and I genuinely appreciate the support of the nominating committee, which selected me almost two years ago, and the delegates, which elected me last year at the Birmingham convention. I also want to thank the many Rotarians who have graciously hosted me at various Rotary meetings around the world during the past two years. All of you have confirmed my faith and confidence in Rotary!

I joined Rotary two weeks after returning from my study in South Africa as a Rotary scholar, and I am pleased and proud to have been a rank and file Rotarian for almost 50 years. I am occasionally asked how a person becomes president of Rotary, and I respond with the explanation offered by Woody Allen, who once said that “80 percent of success is just showing up.” By that measure, I have been showing up for Rotary meetings for 50 years, and I hope to have earned the job!

Thanks also for your kind reception of “cowboy logic.” I recognize that cowboys are an American phenomenon and that this is an international audience. However, other countries have cattle ranchers similar to cowboys and there have been so many western movies about cowboys, so I hope that all of you will understand the universal message of cowboy logic.

The song you heard as I was introduced has become my theme song for several reasons, and I hope you like the happy sound of the country music. In addition, the words capture the common sense of cowboy logic. My favorite part of the song is the following verse:

If it’s a job, do it. Put your back in to it’Cause a little bit of dirt’s gonna wash off in the rainIf it’s a horse, ride it. If it hurts, hide itDust yourself off and get back on againThat’s cowboy logic, every cowboy’s got itHe’s got a simple solution to just about anything I like the idea of simple solutions, and it reminds me that when I became a

Rotarian in 1961, I often heard the phrase “Keep Rotary simple.” I have not heard that sentiment in recent years, and I hope we can return to our roots by trying to keep Rotary simple — particularly in our clubs and districts.

“Cowboy Logic” is the name of the Michael Martin Murphey song you heard a few minutes ago, and the same logic is reflected in a recent book named Cowboy Ethics by James P. Owen, who lives in Austin, Texas. The book is the work of the author to distill the leading principles of the American Code of the West, which was known and practiced by cowboys as an oral code without ever being reduced to written form.

Three of the principles identified by Jim Owens are clearly applicable

to Rotary, and I particularly like the one that says to Take Pride in Your Work. Our most successful clubs are the ones that conduct significant projects, which thereby give the club members pride in the

success of their clubs. And if the projects are highly visible in their communities, then the local citizens become much more aware of what Rotary clubs do, and they are more likely to accept invitations to join the sponsor clubs. It is a powerful cycle of good work and goodwill that helps clubs to grow and prosper when the club members take pride in their work.

I must confess that one of the goals found in the Code of the West does not fit Rotary very well. That admonition is to Talk Less and Say More! Rotarians in general — and past district governors in particular — like to talk at length about Rotary, and the idea of talking less while saying more may be beyond our reach. Further evidence of that difficulty is the story told by Past RI President Luis Giay that there are just two kinds of past district governors — those who talk too much, and those in the cemetery!

Another of the advisories from the Code of the West is a perfect fit for Rotary, and it is also a simple statement: Do What Has to Be Done. This precept is a challenge to Rotary at every level because it is easier to do “what we have always done” than to do what needs to be done. Unfortunately, we often continue to follow past practices even when the results are disappointing and unproductive. Which calls to mind the adage that one of the definitions of insanity is to continue doing the same things but to expect different results! Or as the cowboys say, “If you keeping on doing what you have been doing, you are going to keep on getting what you got.”

We have several practices in Rotary that are no longer best practices, and we need to develop the confidence and courage to examine all of our practices for efficiency and efficacy. At the same time, we must maintain our core values of service, fellowship, diversity, integrity, and leadership. They are the basis for our existence, and they must be maintained. Not surprisingly, the Code of the West also speaks to importance of our core values with another simple phrase: Remember That Some Things Are not for Sale. Indeed, our core values are not for sale, or subject to change! However, I believe that in most cases, the acceptance of new and better practices for our clubs and districts — and for RI — will strengthen, not weaken, our core values.

Now let’s pause for a moment to note two centennial milestones. The first is the 100th anniversary of the Rotary Club of Winnipeg in Canada, which was the first club outside the United States, and which thereby started the internationality of Rotary. The second centennial milestone is that the first convention of Rotary clubs was held in August of 1910 with 16 clubs and 60 Rotarians in attendance. As a result, our history as an association of Rotary clubs started with that meeting in 1910, and we are now commencing the second century of service for Rotary International.

Only those organizations that are vibrant and viable survive for 100 years, and we should be extremely proud of our history and heritage. But we now face the inevitable question: Should we spend next year in celebrating the first 100 years? Or should we focus on preparing Rotary for the second 100 years of fellowship and service?

I am a traditionalist, and I like to honor and celebrate the past. But I am also a pragmatist, and I recognize that a failure to plan for the future in today’s world is tantamount to having no future. Therefore, I have worked during the last year to develop a culture of innovation that will permit clubs, districts, zones, and

Rotary International to look into the future and to try new ideas that will work better than our traditional practices.

Nearly all of the procedures for our businesses and professions have been altered by advances in technology, and it is now time to apply the same scrutiny to our Rotary practices in order to keep pace with the changes in society. The prospect of such improvements is exciting, and I invite you to join me in a Rotary renewal that will keep the spirit of Rotary in the forefront, both locally and globally, during our second century of service.

Now let us pause again. You may be thinking to yourself at this time that the president-elect talks a lot about innovation and experimentation, but has he actually done anything to improve Rotary? Is he just a talker, or is he a doer? As the cowboys say, is he “all hat and no cattle”? I try to be both a dreamer and a doer, and I have worked with the RI Board to authorize several improvements for next year. I don’t have time to give you the top 10 achievements, but I will list the top 5 for you:

1. We have approved a revised strategic plan that is simpler to implement, and easier to measure its progress, than the previous plan. One of the three priorities of the new plan is to help our clubs to become bigger, better, and bolder.

2. We have realigned the RI committees to fit the revised strategic plan with a reduction in the number of committee members and meetings, which will save substantial expense for RI and permit the RI Board to focus its attention on global issues. As a result, the Board decisions will be bigger, better, and bolder.

3. We have recruited and trained 41 new Rotary coordinators, who will take office on 1 July to provide more information for clubs and districts about RI programs and best practices. In short, their job is to help the district governors to help the clubs to be bigger, better, and bolder.

4. We have developed a new method of assigning president’s representatives to district conferences that gives an option to the district governors to select their own representatives a full year in advance, which is designed to make the district conferences bigger, better, and bolder.

5. And last but not least, we are committed to finding new ways to attract younger club members, to enable younger Rotarians to serve as district governors, and to better utilize the talents and skills of past district governors, all of which will help our clubs to become bigger, better, and bolder!

As you may have noticed, I believe the way for Rotary to remain viable and vibrant in the next century is to help our clubs to be bigger, better, and bolder. The clubs are the life and breath of Rotary! Therefore, it is clear to me that my job is to help the district governors to help the clubs. We can do it — and we will do it — if all of us follow the simple solution of cowboy logic to Take Pride in Our Work and Do What Has to Be Done!

Rotarians are creative, passionate, and generous. We are lucky to be involved in such a worldwide organization, and there is little doubt that Rotary is the best in the world at Building Communities — Bridging Continents. Together, we can make the world a better place! And that’s more than cowboy logic. That is the magic, the genius, the power of Rotary!

Thanks for being Rotarians! Thanks for coming to this convention. As we start our second century of service, if we maintain the spirit of fellowship and service that has been evident here, and if we add a spirit of innovation and renewal, then it is clear to me that the best days of Rotary are still ahead!

Now let’s do it! The time has come. From this moment, let us pledge to make the spirit of Rotary bigger, better, and bolder than ever before!

Greetings from the Governor 2010-2011steve berg

Dear Rotarians,

Rotary International President Ray Klinginsmith has given us a theme that sells itself: Building Communities Bridging Continents. It tells us where to go and what to do as we serve in Rotary. As we act on his areas of focus, Polio Eradication and Outreach to Youth and Young Adults, we know where to begin our thoughtful commitment to lead at home and in the world.

Rotary International has areas of focus for the Future Vision Plan. Peace and conflict prevention/resolution, disease prevention and treatment, water and sanitation, maternal and child health care, basic education and literacy, and economic and community development cover needs everywhere on our planet. One or more of these will touch a chord with you and your club. It might be a project that will take place in your community or it might be one that bridges continents.

You are the essence of Rotary. You as an individual make the clubs. You inspire and start the ball rolling. Your talents, education and experience are the core of what Rotary accomplishes.

My goals are goals for your continued success as Rotarians and Rotary Clubs. Let’s look at the new guidelines for a Presidential Citation and see to it that every club in our district qualifies for one. Let’s make it a priority for every club to be represented at District Leadership Seminar. Finally, let’s celebrate the fun, fellowship and excitement of Rotary by having every club represented at the District 5470 Conference October 1-3, 2010 at Mt. Princeton Hot Springs.

We can make things happen. I am honored to be your District Governor and excited about fulfilling this year’s theme together. We will start “Building Communities Bridging Continents.”

Yours in Rotary,Steve Berg

Steve Berg joined Rotary in the mid-1980s as a way to give back to the community and meet new people. Shortly after joining, Steve realized that Rotary was more than just the local community as he was exposed to GSE and RYE. Over the years, Steve and his family have hosted more than a dozen GSE members and four RYE students have lived in their home. These experiences have made Rotary’s mission of promoting peace, good will, and better world understanding real.

Steve is past president of La Junta Rotary, was an Assistant Governor for six years, District Conference Chair in 2003, and the GSE Team Leader to the Czech/Slovak Republics in 2007. After attending their 4th International Convention in Birmingham, England in June, 2009, Steve and Mary went to the Czech and Slovak Republics and stayed with two of the families that hosted Steve while he was on the GSE tour. One of these host families’ daughters and fiancé lived in Steve and Mary’s home during the summer of 2008 and Steve and Mary attended their wedding near Poprad, Slovakia 18 June 2009 and where they were treated as close family members.

Steve earned a B.S. in Business Finance in 1973 and played ice hockey at Mankato State College in Mankato, Minnesota. He worked for his family manufacturing business until he retired in 2005. He turned DeBourgh Mfg. Co. around and moved it in 1990 from Minneapolis MN to La Junta CO and brought 125 jobs to town. The turnaround was recognized nationally when they received the Blue Chip Award in 1992. This award is given to only four companies in the United States that have gone through severe adversity and emerged stronger. In 2004 DeBourgh received OSHA’s highest honor when it was named Company of the Year. DeBourgh is the industry leader of school lockers.

He serves on the Boards of Directors of the State Bank of La Junta and the Arkansas Valley Community Center for the Developmentally Disabled. He previously was on the Board of Directors for First Impressions Day Care.

Mary has a B.S. in Elementary Education from the University of Minnesota. She recently retired and became a Rotarian. She and Steve have been married 34 years. They are Paul Harris Fellows and members of the Bequest Society. Their two daughters and grandson are also Paul Harris Fellows.

In Steve’s year as District Governor, his theme will be “Rotary is Fun.” It’s fun to do good for others. It’s fun to meet new people and make new friends around the world.

Mary and Steve Berg meet with RI President Ray and Judie Kliningsmith at the International Assembly.

object of RotaryThe object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular to encourage and foster:

Dear Fellow Rotarians,My year as your District Governor has come to

an end, and Linda and I want to thank you for the many incredible and generous experiences you have given us. Never in our wildest dreams would we have imagined the warm and wonderful times we were to have in the fellowship of Rotary during our District Governorship year! We will always cherish the many friendships we’ve made, renewed, and deepened during this time.

You opened your hearts, homes, clubs, and communities to us on our visits. Every club participates in different and inspiring projects in its community, and it was with great pride you shared these with us. It was also with great pride that we observed and learned about your projects and all the wonderful work you do to make the world a better place. My year as District Governor reinforced my belief that Rotarians do make a difference in improving the lives of others while enjoying the fellowship of Rotary.

I want to thank the club presidents, assistant governors, and all the district committees for their efforts in making the past Rotary year as successful one. Of course, I also want to thank the Rotarians in our 57 clubs for practicing “Service above self” and for doing the work of Rotary.

I want to commend all of you for the generosity toward the good work of Rotary both in your communities and around the world. It was amazing to see how our district’s Rotarians responded to an appeal for help following the earthquake in Haiti. You made me so proud to be a Rotarian.

This past year the “Future of Rotary was in Our Hands” and all of us worked hard to protect and ensure the future with which we were entrusted.. We can now confidently hand over the district’s business to our 2010/2011 District Governor Steve Berg who with his wife Mary will lead the district in “Building Communities & Bridging Continents”.

Yours in Rotary,Peter

Past District Governor Laura Thompson is honored to be filling this post. When DG(E) Steve called a few weeks ago to say that Paul Campbell would not be able to serve in 2010-201 1, Thompson’s reaction was, “Well, do you want me to fill in?” She hopes that she can help clubs add the “New Generations” area of service to their own bylaws and to facilitate the reconciliation of existing charters and bylaws with the new initiatives that have come out of the Council on Legislation recently. Thompson has been a Rotarian since 1988 and tends to accept more assignments and projects than is practical.

D.D. MONROE AWARDNamed for Past District Governor in 1940-1941, D.D. Monroe, from Clayton, New Mexico, the purpose of this award is to honor the outstanding Club in District 5470 who demonstrate the following:• Sustain and/or grow their membership base.• Implement Successful Projects that address the needs of their

communities and communities in other countries.• Support the Rotary Foundation through both program participation

and financial contributions.• Develop leaders capable of serving in Rotary beyond the club level.

ROTARY FOUNDATION AWARDSThe purpose of this award is to recognize the outstanding clubs in Rotary Foundation giving. Designed for Rotarians who serve humanity through Foundation programs, it is presented in 3 categories. Clubs with less than 50 members; clubs from 50-80 members and clubs with greater than 80 members. The Award consists of:• Highest per capita giving• Highest Total Giving.

ROTARIAN OF THE YEAR AWARDThe purpose of this award is to recognize an individual for his outstanding contribution to District 5470 during the past year.

BEST CLUB BULLETINThe purpose of this award is to recognize a club bulletin that communicates vital Rotary information and club events to the membership.

BEST WEB SITEThis award, it is hoped, will encourage clubs to develop and maintain their own web sites for communicating with their members and community, as well as creating and maintaining a presence on the District website.

What is Rotary? What does a Rotary club do? These questions are often asked of Rotarians by prospective members and other interested people, and they are difficult to answer effectively in a few short minutes.

Although our primary motto Service Above Self highlights our altruistic nature, it fails to answer the two questions. Therefore, I decided to search for a briefly stated theme that would fulfill two objectives:

The first to explain the purpose of Rotary to non-Rotarians and the second to confirm and validate the importance of our principles to Rotarians. In my search for the right words, I reviewed the four Avenues of Service and noted that Club Service and VocationalService both help us to enjoy life and to be good citizens. Community Service and Vocational Service combine to make our local communities better places for us to live and work. And International Service permits us to partner with clubs in other countries and on different continents to make the world a better place to live with an improved opportunity for world understanding, goodwill, and peace. It is important to remember that Rotary is a “spirit of service” as well as an organization of Rotary clubs, and we need to share our core values of service, fellowship, diversity, integrity, and leadership with other people and organizations. I considered many words and phrases to capture the essence of Rotary, and the words I finally selected to describe Rotary’s current mission and to highlight our achievements are what we do best: Building Communities – Bridging Continents.

I hope you agree that these four words aptly reflect who we are, and what we do, as Rotarians. We are a unique and a premier organization — certainly one of the best in the world. We build the spirit and resources of our local communities in an important way, and we are the best in the world at linkingpeople of goodwill around the globe and then gaining their cooperation and support to make the world a much better place to live and work. In the words of Ed Cadman, “Rotary is unity without uniformity.”

We are indeed fortunate to be Rotarians! I applied the same philosophy in developing the Presidential Citation for 2010-11. I consider each of the four Avenues of Service to be equally important, and we have created a new citation program in the form of a questionnaire to help clubs test their effectiveness in all four avenues. We also have produced a higher-level “Presidential Citation with Distinction” to challenge those clubs that routinely earn the annual presidential citations.

We hope the new questionnaire will be a helpful tool to both the clubs and the district governors as we seek to lengthen our stride and improve our levels of fellowship and service, as we move forward into the second century of service for Rotary International, which started with the first convention of Rotary clubs in 1910.

2010-2011 Presidential citation

Clubs are asked to complete the following questionnaire to test their activities in all four Avenues of Service. Each of the four categories offers a possible 50 points. Clubs that score at least 25 points in each category will qualify for the 2010-11 Presidential Citation. Clubs that score at least 35 points in each category will qualify for the 2010-11 Presidential Citation with Distinction.The questionnaire is to be completed by each club and then sent to the district governor — not to Rotary International. The completed questionnaire must be received by the district governor no later than 31 March 2011 for the club to be eligible for the Presidential Citation. The answers to all questions on the questionnaire are subject to The Four-Way Test! Governors must certify the list of clubs that have earned the citation and the citation with distinction and send it to RI World Headquarters by no later than 15 April 2011. District governors will be accorded special recognition if 50 percent or more of the clubs in their respective districts are awarded the presidential citations.

Dear Club President

Now that you have assumed your role as club president for 2010-2011, your Rotary Foundation will be taking steps in a new direction as 100 Rotary districts begin operating as pilot districts under the new Future Visions Plan while the remaining 434 districts continue to conduct business in regular Rotary fashion. These changes will be both challenging and rewarding and will open new doors as we move closer toward celebrating our Foundation’s Centennial in 2017.

While significant changes in our Foundation’s future are certain, some things will remain the same Our motto, Service Above Self, is the mainstay of our call to help others in need, to provide hope, to change lives, and to save lives, funded by our own generosity to our own Rotary Foundation for projects and programs that we define as our own.

The success of our Foundation is built upon the philanthropy from Rotarians throughout the world. Success starts with working with the members of your club to set goals for Annual Programs Fund, PolioPlus, and Permanent Fund giving as well as identifying Major Donor, Benefactor, and Bequest Society goals.

As the president of your club, it will be up to you, your club Foundation committee, and your district leadership to help guide your club to success in 2010-2011. The Rotary Foundation has many resources available to you and many helpful ideas can be found in your EREY Club Success Kit and online. If Every Rotarian reaches out to make the world a better place Every Year, then our Foundation will be seen as a beacon of hope to all.

Thank you for serving in the important role of club president. By working together, we can make the 2010-2011 Rotary year the best ever.

Sincerely,

Carl-Wilhelm Stenhammar, Chairman-electThe Rotary Foundation Trustees, RI

Past President 2005-2006, RI

The Rotary Foundation

Editor’s Note: The following speech was delivered by Foundation Trustee Ron Burton at the 2010 Presidents Elect Training Seminar. We thought it worth while to include it here so it can be shared with a wider audience and used as a reference.

Paul Harris once said “it is well that there is nothing in Rotary so sacred that it cannot be set aside in favor of things better. This is an experimental age in a changing world, and all things which are worthwhile and progressive are the cumulative effects of preceding successes and failures.”

In the February 1945 issue of The Rotarian magazine he wrote, “I would like to think that the pioneering days of Rotary have only just begun. There are just as many new things to be done as ever there were. Kaleidoscopic changes are taking place, many of them without our will. Even to hang on to the fringe of this fast-changing world is about all most of us can do. Rotary simply must continue to pioneer or be left in the rear of progress.” Do you think Paul Harris would apply that comment to The Rotary Foundation and its Future Vision plan?

Over the past three decades, Rotarians have increasingly relied on the Foundation to help them address humanitarian and educational needs both locally and abroad. As Rotarians have generously increased their giving to the Foundation over the years and have proposed additional ways to address humanitarian and educational needs, the Foundation has responded by offering new programs. However, it is the Foundation’s focused efforts on polio eradication that have led to its most internationally recognized accomplishments. It is those efforts that have attracted support and funding from governments, NGOs, and most recently the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Over the years there have been some eighteen different grant programs, each with their own funding cycle, deadlines, and requirements. The growth in the educational and humanitarian areas has made it increasingly difficult for these programs to produce the same high impact, focused, and sustainable outcomes while providing timely service to Rotarians.

As the Foundation adapted to the increasing numbers of grant requests, its processes became more complex, larger, and less efficient. Listening to Rotarians around the world in face to face conversations, various Rotary meetings, focus groups, and independent surveys, the Trustees felt it was necessary to position our Foundation for its second century of service. The Trustees saw this as an opportunity to ensure that the Foundation would remain relevant and meet the needs of Rotarians and the beneficiaries of their good work and to simplify our programs as much as possible. They felt it was important to ensure the strategic use of Rotary’s organizational expertise and resources in a way that related to the Foundation’s mission. They also felt it was important to provide durability and long-term commitment to the needs of the world as confirmed by Rotarians. Having said that, they felt the plan must be narrow enough to construct specific strategies for sustainable beneficiary outcomes and allow the Foundation to take advantage of packaged grants with support from strategic cooperative relationships. Above all, however, Future Vision had to demonstrate

The Future of Our Rotary Foundation

the involvement of and ownership by Rotarians.In February 2005, the Future Vision Committee began its work to develop

a plan for the future of the Foundation. The world has big problems to solve that require us to be creative and visionary if we are to meet the needs of people left behind by a rapidly changing world. Now is the time to confront these challenges in new ways through a new foundation.

The Future Vision Committee and the Trustees knew that the plan needed to have the support of Rotarians at the grassroots level. As President John Kenny has said many times “Rotary happens in its clubs . . . not in Evanston.” They first considered input gathered from surveys of nearly 10,000 Rotarians, as well as interviews with numerous Rotarians and Rotary leaders. Rotarians told us they wanted us to simplify and focus the program menu and make it easier to participate in Foundation activities, to balance global and local activities and to allow Foundation funds that were raised locally to be spent locally as well as abroad, to focus on significant and sustainable outcomes that support projects which address the causes of problems and not just the symptoms, to increase the sense of ownership among clubs and districts by shifting decisions locally and giving Rotarians more direct access to how funds are spent, and to be recognized as a first-choice partner for global projects by developing a reputation for accomplishing great results beyond the accomplishments in polio eradication. The Committee and Trustees directed the staff to research a wealth of material to identify the strongest areas of Rotarian interest related to international service. The research included: the top five matching grant categories; the top five Community Service project types; popular Foundation activities such as Ambassadorial Scholars; the most vibrant Rotarian Action Groups; resolutions proposed to the 2004 and 2007 Councils on Legislation requesting new corporate projects; and correspondence to the president’s office requesting new corporate projects. From these sources, the staff compiled a list of 26 areas of known Rotarian interest which were then narrowed down by the Future Vision Committee to six areas of focus. Interestingly, all 26 have application in one or more of these six areas. The six areas of focus are:

Peace and Conflict Prevention and ResolutionDisease Prevention and TreatmentWater and SanitationMaternal and Child HealthBasic Education and LiteracyEconomic and Community DevelopmentI would be willing to bet that the various Foundation programs your club

and/or district has participated in would fit within one or more of these areas of focus.

Under Future Vision a new grant making model has been developed based on this feedback. There will be two types of grants, district grants and global grants. There will also be packaged global grants in conjunction with strategic partnerships. Let me summarize some of the key elements of the plan starting with district grants, which are based on the current District Simplified Grant model. Rotary Foundation District Grants will provide simplicity, flexibility, and opportunities to Rotarians for innovation. These grants must support the overall mission of The Rotary Foundation. However, they do not necessarily have to fit within the six Areas of Focus, thereby allowing tremendous flexibility for clubs

and districts.A district can apply annually for one district grant – a “block grant” so to

speak – for up to 50% of its District Designated Fund based on its annual giving 3 years prior. The district will then review requests from Rotarians and clubs and distribute funds directly to them. Districts will only be responsible for reporting to the Foundation on how they have disbursed the funds, without any lengthy reports to Evanston on each project. Instead, districts will report to their clubs how these funds were spent.

It is envisioned that some districts will use district grants to fund projects and activities that were possible through the traditional Foundation programs such as Ambassadorial Scholarships, Group Study Exchange, and smaller Matching Grants. The districts will be free to organize these activities according to their local preferences so long as they fulfill the general terms and conditions of the grant.

Some examples of activities funded by a district grant might include: exchanging professional teams using the traditional GSE format; international travel for doctors to volunteer at a clinic; providing scholarships for students to attend a university locally or abroad; donating art supplies to assist youth in an after-school program; or sending aid to respond to a natural disaster in another district.

The other type of grant, Rotary Foundation Global Grants, will fund projects and activities that are more long-term and designed to achieve sustainable outcomes. The hope is that we can build on the strengths of what Rotarians have successfully done over the years with the Educational Programs and Humanitarian Grants. In order to support this focused approach, global grants will provide larger grant awards for humanitarian projects and educational activities with a request amount from the Foundation starting at $15,000 and going up to $200,000. Club and District Developed Global Grants will use the same matching concept currently used by Matching Grants providing a 50% match on cash contributions and a 100% match on District Designated Fund contributions.

Global grants must fit within one or more of the six areas of focus. As an example, in the water area of focus, clubs and districts partnering together might develop a project for safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene education that serves the people in not one village, but an entire geographic region. They might send a scholar abroad to enroll in a water engineering degree program who later returns to their home country to work with Rotarians to improve water quality and conservation. Or, they might send a vocational training team of water engineers abroad to organize and train community volunteers in a developing county on water and sanitation management issues.

Through packaged global grants, the Foundation will provide funding for projects that are designed in collaboration with strategic partners and Rotarians to replicate projects that have the greatest opportunities for success in advancing the goals of the areas of focus. These pre-designed projects will be available for clubs and districts to implement where they see needs around the world. Support for some of these grants will come in the form of technical expertise from strategic partner organizations who will align their advocacy efforts and financial resources with Rotary to support our mission and the good work of clubs and districts.

To ensure that The Rotary Foundation maintains an outstanding reputation for stewardship and to help simplify some of the reporting to the Foundation, a qualification process has been developed. Districts will need to be qualified by the Foundation to receive grant funds. Districts will in turn qualify their clubs. A simple process has been designed to ensure that clubs and districts have planned for the legal, financial, and stewardship controls that are necessary for good grant management.

One hundred districts from 74 countries were selected to participate in the Future Vision pilot, which begins in July 2010. Of the 531 Rotary districts in the world, 277 applied to be a pilot district. In order to identify 100 districts that reflect the demographics of the larger Rotary world, the Foundation established specific selection criteria. Included were location, size, and past record of grant sponsorship, annual giving, and stewardship. The pilot districts will play a key role in testing the new model. Throughout the pilot the Foundation will obtain feedback from clubs and districts about their experiences and the results of their grant activity so that the Trustees can evaluate the pilots operational and programmatic aspects. The plan will be modified as necessary to resolve outstanding issues before the worldwide launch in July 2013.

The 100 District governors-elect and 98 district Foundation chairs from pilot districts received training just before the International Assembly this January in San Diego. The training session was a tremendous success. The Future Vision Committee and Foundation staff remains busy working on various aspects of the plan. Over twenty staff members will participate in testing over 150 scenarios of every possible way data can be entered to make sure the software functions well and meets Rotary’s special needs by the time of release. The software will be released in seven languages. Packaged grant concepts are being prepared for consideration by the Trustees at their April meeting. Sessions are being prepared for the annual Rotary Regional Foundation Coordinators training coming up next month. Materials are being prepared for the Future Vision breakout sessions that will be held at the Rotary International Convention in Montreal in June. In addition to all of these activities, a sub-committee of the Future Vision Committee is currently working with staff to review the evaluation metrics that have been identified by staff and an outside consulting firm. It is an awesome task. Some one hundred and forty seven possible metrics have been identified that relate to the priorities of the Future Vision Plan, the grant-making model, and strategic partnerships. Some seven hundred fifteen metrics have been identified that relate to the six areas of focus. The sub-committee must narrow these down to a manageable number for presentation to the Trustees at their April meeting.

The last 30 years has resulted in tremendous growth and unprecedented accomplishments for your Rotary Foundation. Historic achievements that were once thought impossible are now becoming possible as a result of Rotarians’ efforts in Polio eradication.

Building on the success and the lessons learned during this time and with feedback from Rotarians, the Future Vision plan will help maximize the power of clubs to advance our Foundation into the future. As Paul Harris once said, “This is a changing world; we must be prepared to change with it. The story of Rotary will have to be rewritten again and again.” The pilot phase of the Future Vision plan will help refine the grant making model and ensure that it meets the needs of Rotarians. The story of Rotary is again being rewritten. In the

December 2009 issue of Rotary Africa Regional Rotary Foundation Coordinator Nick Phillips concluded his monthly article by saying: “So, my Rotary friends, the Future Vision scheme is no longer about pilot and non-pilot districts, or about them and us. The realities of Future Vision are with us now and if we are going to succeed we need to take the lead . . . There are no blueprints for us to use. There is no past experience for us to call on. Our job is to create from scratch and implement new strategies to ensure that funding continues to be available for the humanitarian and educational program that benefit our disadvantaged peopled. After all, The Future of Rotary is in our Hands”. With the support of clubs and districts this vision can become a reality … and help build communities and bridge continents.

PasT ROTaRY InTeRnaTIOnal THeMesEditor’s Note: Since Rotary Year 1949-50 (ex-cepting 1952-1953) the President of Rotary International has designated a theme (or a group of objectives) to guide Rotary activi-ties. These themes and objectives are time-less - look them over and see how they still are applicable to Rotary today.

1949-1950 Percy c. hodgson“Objectives of our Team for 1949-1950: 1) Each new member admitted into a Rotary Club to be adequately informed about his duties and obligations before his induction - properly introduced to the club - and ef-fectively assimilated into the work of the club during the first year. 2) A better under-standing and application of the principles of Vocational Service as set forth in SERVICE IS MY BUSINESS. 3) A contribution to world understanding and peace through an inten-sification of our international service pro-gram. 4) An outstanding district conference in every district.”

1950-1951 arthur laguex“Goals for 1951-1952: In Club service we must beget our heirs. In Vocational service honesty is still the best policy. In Commu-nity service we can plan for the future. In International service we must reexamine our world.”
