Matt McKeever, Dean of the Community and Workforce Partnership at the Arapahoe Com-munity College, presented an informative sum-mary of the institutions “Best Kept Secrets.” Founded in 1965, Arapahoe Community Col-lege was the first community college to open in the Denver area. What began as Arapahoe Jun-ior College with 550 students has grown tnto a vibrant community college comprised of the Littleton, Parker and Castle Rock campuses, serving seven school districts and over 21,000 credit and non-credit students annually. Specifically, about three years agoin the Arapahoe Community College took over a regional learning center located near Chaparral High School, renting much of the space for several months while the College developed plans

to facilitate completion of degree requirements at this campus, providing day and evening classes, and a host of student support services including recruiting, administration, testing, financial aid, advising, student affairs, career counseling and Transfer center. The College offers hundreds of non-credit courses and boasts over 4,000 non-degree seeking students who select from an ex-tensive catalog. (Continued on Page 3) .

Good morning CCV Rotary! I wanted to inform you all that Mike Dunkel suffered a heart attack yester-day. He never lost consciousness and walked himself into the ambulance to go to Parker Adventist Hospital. He was immediately whisked into sur-gery and was awake not that long after. Doug has been up to visit him today and said he is good ole Dunkel and is doing fine. He will be released tomor-row or Monday and already told Doug he would be at the meeting Wednes-day, although Doug advised for him to rest. I had a plant and card delivered to his room today from all of us. He is in room 264 for now and is open to visi-tors if anyone would like to stop by to see him. Keep him in your thoughts as he recovers. Kyle Mediger Cherry Creek Valley Rotary Club of Parker

Editor’s Note: Mike Dunkel was a former member and Past President of our club, founder of the Cherry Creek Valley Club.

WINE WALK BENEFIT— Shown on the left is Dan Rodriguez, President of the Parker Chamber of Commerce presenting a check for $910 (almost looks like $91,000, but that’s hopeful thinking) —representing proceeds from the September “Wine Walk” sponsored by the Chamber. The next Wine Walk is scheduled for Friday, October 26th from 5-9pm to benefit other local non-profit organizations.

KEEPING IT BEAUTIFUL— Shown be-low is the crew that assembled Monday un-der the direction of Master Gardener Don Clasen to spiff up and plant tulips around the Gazebo in O’Brien Park. The gazebo was purchased and erected on the site in 2005 by the Rotary Club of Parker commemorating the 100th Anniversary of Rotary Interna-tional.

Facts about Vocational Train-ing Teams

A vocational training team (VTT) is a group

of professionals who travel to another

country either to learn more about their pro-

fession or to teach local professionals

about a particular field. Under Future Vi-

sion, Rotary Foundation district, global, and

packaged grants all support VTTs, but

each grant type has different requirements.

Benefits of VTTs VTTs build on the Foundation’s long-standing commitment to vocational training, first formalized with the establishment of the Group Study Exchange program in 1965. VTTs take the GSE concept of ena-bling young professionals to observe their profession in another country a step further by offering participants the opportunity to use their skills to help others. Hands-on activities vary from one team to the next but may include training medical profes-sionals on cardiac surgery and care, shar-ing best practices on early childhood edu-cation, or explaining new irrigation tech-niques to farmers. A successful VTT in-creases the capacity of the host community to solve problems and improve the quality of life.

Our Foundation A monthly feature of the Rotary Global History Fellowship (RGHF).

By KJ DELL'ANTONIA Too often, the news leaves me speech-less. Stops me in my tracks, occupies my mind, won’t let me go. Hearing, on N.P.R., that masked Taliban gunmen gunned down a 14-year-old girl for pub-licly speaking out about her desire for an education, had that effect. I was out-raged, infuriated, saddened, helpless. Nothing I do will change what happened to Malala Yousafzai. I’ve little chance of even helping others like her. But hearing her story shook me. It made me think about the value of my education, and the daily trips to school my daughter takes for granted. It reminded me that those who would insist on different rights for people with different genders, skin, be-liefs or culture are still powerful and in some cases ruthless. I see a value in being shaken in just that way. A few weeks ago, at a party, I had a casual conversation with a man who declared that he refused to listen to the news, and in particular, N.P.R., any-more. “It’s just one story about the down-trodden after another,” he insisted. “And we just listen and pat ourselves on the back for our sensitivity and nothing hap-pens, and the next day it’s yet another story.” In his essay “Unreal” in his book “The Thing Itself: On the Search for Au-thenticity,” Richard Todd said much the same thing. “You have to keep a cool eye on yourself when you are outraged over something that remains secondary

to your life,” he wrote. He described his reactions when the evening news showed pictures of soldiers killed in ac-tion — looking up from his kitchen cut-ting board, respectfully not sipping his wine, shaking his head sadly. “And then I began to realize that there was some-thing about this ritual that had nothing to do with pain on my part, something that was indeed shamefully self-enhancing.” How “meta” are Mr. Todd and my ac-quaintance, so carefully examining their reactions to the news and pushing me to do the same? How clever to question our own responses to the outrages and horrors that are “secondary” to our lives only through accidents of birth or geog-raphy or fortune. And how convenient to conclude that unearned emotion is an indulgence, because that’s the only con-clusion that would allow us to look away from Malala’s story, or any front-page outrages: the doctor who considers drugs the only hope for children in failing schools; the Syrian refugee crisis. Maybe it’s a valid worry, that our emo-tional reaction to a news story gives us the comforting illusion of having taken action, thus freeing us from the burden of taking to the streets in protest, collect-ing donations or even voting. But is it a worry that we can afford? Would we be better off with silenced radios and folded newspapers? Without the media trying to show us what’s happening in the Swat Valley in Pakistan, where Malala Yousafzai lived and where, in 2009, the Taliban forced the closure of her school, (Continued on Page 7)

Definition of Rotary How do you describe the organization called "Rotary"? There are so many characteristics of a Rotary club as well as the activities of a million Rotarians. There are the features of service, internationality, fellowship, classifications of each vocation, development of goodwill and world understanding, the emphasis of high ethical standards, concern for other people and many more. In 1976 the Rotary International Board of Directors was interested in creating a concise definition of the fundamental aspects of Rotary. They turned to the three men who were then serving on Rotary's Public Relations Committee and requested that a one-sentence definition of Rotary be prepared. After numerous drafts, the committee presented this definition, which has been used ever since in various Rotary publications:

"Rotary is an organization of business and professional persons

united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage

high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and

peace in the world.“ Those 31 words are worth remembering when someone asks, "What is a Rotary club?"

Is it true that you never really learn to

swear until you learn to drive?

If lawyers can be disbarred and clergy-

men can be defrocked, then doesn’t it

follow that electricians can be delighted,

musicians denoted, cowboys deranged,

medels deposed tree surgeons debarked

and dry cleaners depressed?

Whaddayathink? Any others?

Looking forward to November, Rotarians will be celebrating The Rotary Foundation of Rotary In-ternational.

“The Carnegie Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the

Pan American Union, and Rotary International are all working

in the right direction, but they fall far short of accomplishing the desired re-

sults. When the lives of millions of

our youth and billions of our national wealth are at stake,

we must not think in small terms. If we can mobilize our

universities, colleges and high schools in the interests of

war, can we not mobilize some of them in the interests of

international cooperation and peace?” Paul Harris’ first comment about foundations: The convention message to the 1943 conven-tion at St. Louis

WHAT PAUL HARRIS SAID

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

(Continued from Page 6) Malala Yousafzai would not have had the opportunity to blog about her experi-ence, or been the focus of documenta-ries for The New York Times and other media outlets. Her story would never have generated outrage or interest on the part of the public — or the Taliban. But it’s also possible that had her story, and others, never been told, the Taliban would simply control Ms. Yousafzai’s world. And it’s certain that the Taliban did not want Malala Yousafzai’s voice to be heard. What will you do with what you now know about Malala Yousafzai’s fight? What will you do with your anger at those who are proud to have struck her down, temporarily or permanently (she is now in critical condition after surgery)? I don’t have easy answers to those questions. What will I do? I will vote. I will tell my daughters her story. I will look for ways to contribute to education for women in parts of the world that still long to leash and muzzle half their popula-tion. I will think of Anne Frank, and how

clear the most complex situations can appear in hindsight. I will stay outraged. And I will keep listening to, reading, and reacting to the news.

WHAT WILL YOU

DO IN THE NAME

OF MALALA? What will you do with what you now know about Malala Yousafzai’s fight? What will you do with your anger at those who are proud to have struck her down?
