“Service Above Self”
Happy New Year Rotarians!
February is Rotary’s International Understanding month. The Fourth Object of Rotary is “The advancement of world understanding, goodwill and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service above self.” What I have seen in my limited travels outside of the U.S. is that most people want the same things in life: a peaceful environment in which to live, a happy family, education for their children, sufficient shelter, food, water, and meaningful work.
Rotarians in Rotary District 7300 are working to build peace, goodwill, and world understanding in many ways. Often these efforts begin in our local communities with a helping hand extended to those less fortunate: dictionaries to school children, beds for children, clothing for the homeless, food bank contributions, and mentoring programs to name a few. Rotarians have worked with their Rotary brothers and sisters on projects in Argentina, the Philippines, Ghana, Malawi, Haiti, India, Nicaragua, and other countries to improve the conditions for people there. The Rotary Youth Exchange and Group Study Exchange programs introduce us to young people and professionals from other countries and deepen our understanding of their cultures while building life-long friendships. Rotarians who support The Rotary Foundation are part owners of all the projects being done through the Matching Grant program both in their communities and abroad. The World Peace Fellow program of The Rotary Foundation develops world leaders who go out to build a more just and peaceful world.
An oft-used expression is “Charity begins at home.” This is so true. We learn the lessons of charity, compassion, tolerance, love, respect, and generosity at home. Thank YOU, Rotarians, for the example you are setting and the lessons you are teaching our children, family members, and cowork-ers through your good works done in the name of Rotary. Charity begins at home and sends its ripples around the globe to build world understanding, goodwill, and peace.

Operation Safety Net case managers are transitioning many individuals from severe weather emergency shelters to their own apartments. Most individuals do not have any items other than what they carry each day. Operation Safety Net staff is in need of gently used or new household items to assist these clients in making a home (listing attached on page 11).
If you have items or find items during your Spring Cleaning days, you can donate them to Operation Safety Net (mark them “Household”). Then send an E-mail to Linda M. Sheets, M.P.M. at [email protected] listing what items you brought to the shelter. Linda will send you an acknowledgement letter as well as a note from Operation Safety Net’s Development Office for your donation to a tax-exempt charity organization. Monetary gifts are also greatly needed and appreciated. Thank YOU in advance for helping make a difference in the lives of so many!

ALL Rotary District 7300 Rotary clubs should submit their attendance figures within the first two weeks of each month. This gives your club members the opportunity to attend “make-up meetings” for meetings that were missed during the last two weeks of the previous month.

Greetings Fellow Rotarians!
It gives me great pleasure to announce the Rotary International 2011-2012 theme and logo. As you can see, the theme “Reach Within to Embrace Humanity” is reflected beautifully in the logo.
2011-2012 Rotary International President, Kalyan Banerjee has said, “I ask you to look within yourselves, to understand that all of humanity has the same dreams, similar hopes, the same aspirations, and similar problems.” He further states that in the year ahead, he will have three emphases in our Rotary service ...
1. Strengthen our family.2. Continue what we do best.3. Change whatever needs to be changed.
Simply stated, it gives us all pause to stop, reflect on the year ahead, and how we can be a part of these ideals. I look forward to working with all of the Rotarians of Rotary District 7300 in the 2011-2012 year, and particularly the new Presidents coming in on July 1, 2011.
Be sure to mark your calendars (or check out the Rotary District 7300 Events Calendar on the last page of this newsletter)! The President-Elect Training Seminar (PETS) will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn (Pittsburgh/Southpointe, 1000 Corporate Drive, Canonsburg, PA 15317, P: (724) 743-5000) on March 4-5, 2011. Event details will be sent to club Presidents shortly.
Yours In Service,

ROTARY “QUOTE” OF THE MONTH
FEBRUARY 2011 • page 3
2010-2011Rotary District 7300Membership ChairKarl OhrmanRotary Club of Pittsburgh
“February Fitness” focuses on the foundation of your membership efforts. Are you finally facing facts and forming a favorable effort to fix your membership figures? February is the month to fortify club member-ship, have it flower, and flame into fresh floods of fruitful new fellow members.
Membership is not for feeble, faint-hearted folks. It’s folly to follow past functions and failures. It’s time to forget former falderal. It’s time to fortify future, ferocious forces for membership.
A formal Membership Committee should be formed to facilitate and fortify fantastic formulas for favorable, future success.
DON’T be a fearful, fatigued, and faint-hearted fool! Follow through and membership will flower into fruitful figures.
Your club will feast on the financial windfall that fate will favor you with. DON’T flinch from fear! Fight to the finish! DON’T freeze your club’s future! DON’T falter, fiddle, and fail!
Fortify your fervent faith! DON’T fudge, fade, and flop! DON’T be frozen, frightened or frigid! DO face the future and feast on a fresh flow of fabulous future Rotary friends!
Farewell. Feel free to share your feelings and feedback on what your club has fashioned; no matter how far-fetched or far-flung!

Are you in the District 7300 “Fellow Pages”?
Recently, a member of Rotary District 7300 was searching for a Rotarian who had an office cleaning business. She went to the www.rotarydistrict7300.org website Administration page, clicked on "Search Member eDirectory", and in the "Classification" block typed, "office cleaning" ... nothing. She tried several other words that may pertain to that classification ... nothing. So, she checked the Yellow Pages to find a cleaning service for her office.
One Rotarian looked for "Engineers" and found 13 listed on our website. Another found 26 lawyers!
The Rotary District 7300 website is a great networking tool for you and your business. We recommend you fill in the "Classifica-tion" field in your profile so that if a member is looking for your services, or expertise, they'll find you on the Rotary District 7300 website (www.rotarydistrict7300.org).
2010-2011Rotary District 7300Foundation ChairDennis CrawfordMcCandless Rotary Club
February is “World Understanding Month” in Rotary and I can think of few organizations that do as much as Rotary International to promote better understanding of world cultures, as well as promoting harmony and peace. And within Rotary it is The Rotary Foundation (TRF; we love our acronyms) that drives, funds, and supports most of Rotary’s projects worldwide.
Like many Rotarians, Kathy and I have had the opportunity to travel to many countries and visit many different Rotary clubs, some where English wasn’t spoken; but we were always welcomed as if we were members of that club or citizens of the country we were in. Why? Because we are Rotarians and that’s the way Rotarians treat each other. Every club was proud to show off their projects, whether they were local, international, or both ... water wells being drilled to provide clean, fresh water, immunization projects, crop rotation and replanting projects, schools being built, children being taught to read and write, medical clinics being built, staffed and supplied, and on, and on, and on. Most of these projects are funded by Matching Grants that come from The Rotary Foundation. When you give a dollar to The Rotary Foundation, that dollar quickly turns into three or four dollars with matching funds. Those dollars fund the projects that supply the services and products that we take for granted, but are life sustaining and life changing in many other countries.
Many organizations ask us to contribute, but how many have such a far-reaching impact as Rotary … how many truly promote World Under-standing? Whether it’s a $100.00 or a $1,000,000.00, your contributions to The Rotary Foundation make a significant difference in people’s lives worldwide, every day.

This is an announcement to all Rotary club leadership that Rotary International is conducting four new pilot programs beginning July 1, 2011, operating through June 30, 2014, and is looking for clubs to participate in them.
In support of the RI Strategic Plan goal to 'foster club innovation and flexibility' the Board would like to evaluate and measure the impact alternative membership types and club operations have on member activities and engagement, membership growth and retention, improved member diversity, increased community and international service, increased support of The Rotary Foundation, and overall club effectiveness. Below is a brief recap of each pilot program. At this link are more detailed fact sheets for each of these pilots, guidelines for selection, terms of participation, and an imple-mentation plan:
Satellite Club: The Satellite Club Pilot will allow a Rotary club to conduct multiple club meetings during a week, each taking place at a different location, a different day and/or a different time.
Corporate Membership: The Corporate Membership Pilot will allow a corporation or company in the club's area to become a member of the Rotary Club, through a club established membership approval process, and appoint a certain number of Designees as the individuals attending meetings, serving on projects, voting on club matters, serving as club officers and on club committees, etc.
Associate Membership: An Associate Membership Pilot will allow an individual to become associated and acquainted with a Rotary Club, its members, its programs and projects, and the expectations of club membership with the intent of becoming an active member within a designated period of time.
Innovation & Flexibility: This pilot project focuses on letting clubs self-determine their operations to fit better with their members' and community needs. Clubs will be authorized to make changes to the Standard Rotary Club Constitution and to their Rotary Club Bylaws in any area other than RI membership dues requirements.
A total of 200 clubs will be accepted to participate in each pilot, with a goal of equal representation from the thirty-four (34) zones. Clubs wishing to participate must have been chartered prior to June 30, 2009.
The deadline for submitting a pilot application form is April 1, 2011. Decisions for club selections will be made by May 1, 2011. Club and district officers will be notified of clubs selected to participate by May 31, 2011.
To participate in these pilot programs, your club must be in good financial standing and you will need agreement from the current club president and club president-elect along with the agreement of 2/3 of the members of the club.
You may E-mail questions to [email protected] or contact your Club and Rotary District Support representative. You may submit the application via E-mail to [email protected] or fax to 1-847-556-2196.

McCandless Rotary Club Supports Literacy
Three members of the McCandless Rotary Club; PDG Dennis Crawford, John Ballance, and Ted Meinert distributed dictionaries to 105 third grade students in Bellevue and Avalon Elementary Schools in the Northgate School District on Friday, January 7, 2011.
They each gave a two-minute presentation at each school; first about Rotary, then community service, and finally about the contents of the dictionary. They finished by presenting each student with his or her own dictionary. The kids were enthusiastic, polite, and seemed to really appreciate the gift.

Thanks so much for all your help with the “Take a Shot at Changing the World” polio viral video contest. Since the October 28, 2010 press conference on Jonas Salk’s birthday, we are delighted that nearly 40 schools in the Southwestern Pennsylvania region have signed up to participate at www.takeashotcontest.org. This contest was inspired by the movie “The Shot Felt ‘Round the World,” which tells the story of the Salk polio vaccine and of the role Pittsburgh played in its development. We have been gratified at the various “Dinner and a Movie” events at which this has been shown, thanks to your efforts, and hope we can continue to have screenings and get the word out about the contest. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has invited Steeltown Entertainments to screen “The Shot Felt ‘Round the World” for their polio team in Seattle, as they have been very supportive of the “Take A Shot” contest and hope to work with us to expand it if the Western Pennsyl-vania pilot program is successful.
As deadline for the videos is March 31, 2011, we would greatly appreciate any help Rotarians could give in making sure that every middle school and high school students in the region know about this opportunity to make a video connecting the development of the Salk polio vaccine with the present day efforts being spearhead by Rotary International to rid the world of the disease. The winning video will receive $5,000.00 for themselves and their school, as well as having their video posted on the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation website, and air on WQED TV.
WQED is planning a special “Town Hall” program in April to commemorate the Salk polio
vaccine, which will follow an airing of “The Shot Felt ‘Round the World.” We hope to have Rotarians participate in that program and tell not only people here, but around the world, about the remarkable effort spearheaded by Rotarians and organizations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to rid the world of polio.
We could use the following help from Rotarians:
• Their help in making sure every school and every student grades 6-12 know about the “Take a Shot at Changing the World” contest. They can simply refer students and educators to www.takeashotcontest.org. A list (at right) detailing the schools already signed up, but it would also be great if Rotarians could remind students at every school that these videos are due March 31, 2011, and that they should participate in this pioneering effort in using media to help spread the word about polio eradication.
• Those who would like to be judges for the videos which we plan on doing on the afternoon of Sunday, April 3, 2011.
• Clubs holding their own movie showings: We would be happy to loan copies of “The Shot Felt ‘Round the World” to Rotarians who wish to screen the movie to get a better understanding of the connection between the events that happened 55 years ago in Western Pennsylvania which lead to the development of the polio vaccine, and present day polio eradication efforts.
Just as the polio vaccine wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Pittsburgh, “Take a Shot at Changing the World” relies on community support. Rotary District 7300 has been instrumental in launching this project, and we truly appreciate all the work you’ve done in helping to promote this contest. If it’s successful, we hope to launch it again next year on an international level. We have received interest from Rotary International chapters in Macedonia and Pakistan.
Please feel free to contact Project Coordinator, Rachel Shepherd, at (412) 622-1325 or [email protected]. You may also contact Rotary District 7300 Governor, Cindy Sakala, at (724) 339-2224 or [email protected].
Rotary District 7300 is well on its way toward funding the acquisition of 1,000 home and school water filters for emergency aid to the people of Haiti. Long known as the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, Haiti living conditions have been exacerbated by the recent earthquake, floods, and political unrest. Much of the health problems (life expec-tancy of 50 years) can be linked to a lack of clean water. Consumption of contaminated water leads to a variety of illnesses, including chronic dysentery and cholera. In the last few months alone, over 3,000 Haitians have died from cholera.
Building on our similar experience in Honduras, Rotary District 7300 Rotarians are now teaming with Haitian Rotarians to distribute the simple ceramic filters. Manufactured in the newly-completed filter plant in Jacmel, Haiti, each $30.00 filter can provide 1-2 liters of drinking water per hour, for a period of about 5 years. Rotary District 7300 Governor, Cindy Sakala, as well as District International Service Chair, Craig Esterly, along with Pittsburgh Rotarian, Danika Wukish, recently travelled to Haiti to start the project off.
Beyond this initial effort, Rotary District 7300 will continue the Haiti project next year by funding the building of another plant in the cholera-stricken Artibonite Valley.
If your club would like to become involved in this international service project or want to have a club presentation on this topic, please contact District International Chair, Craig Esterly at [email protected].
Green Tree & Carnegie-Collier Rotary Clubs
The Green Tree Rotary Club hosted a special viewing of the film “The Shot Felt ‘Round the World” on February 3, 2011, during a joint meeting with Carnegie-Collier Rotary Club. The film, which documents Dr. Jonas Salk’s discovery of a polio vaccine, was produced by Carl Kurlander, a native Pittsbur-gher who has an extensive history in the entertainment industry, incuding producing “Saved By the Bell” and co-writing “St. Elmo’s Fire”. The event was well attended, with seven Rotary clubs represented.
Burrell Area H.S. Interact Student of the Month
Stephanie Hebling is a Senior at Burrell Area High School. In addition to Interact club, she is also a member of the Yearbook Staff, Environmental Club, Literary Society, and National Honor Society. Stephanie says, “... that involve-ment in each organization can cause a hectic schedule, but every hour is enjoyable. Editing pictures and writing captions has become less of a task and
more of a pastime. Recycling Christmas trees, reading books, volunteering? FUN!” In particular, she has thoroughly enjoyed her time with Interact over the past few years, because whether she helped to serve a senior citizen luncheon or raised money for Children’s Hospital, the club has been ambitious and fast-paced. Centuries past, Benjamin Franklin spoke, “Lost time is never found again.” High school, four swift years, will never repeat. Instead of yearning for them to stretch on longer, Stephanie strives to carry them out to their fullest, worthiest extent.
