There are countless impediments to organizational change and progress, not the least of which are the usually well-meaning “Elder Naysayers.” These are folks who have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo for any of several reasons. First, it’s familiar, comfortable and non-threatening. Second, they understand it. Third, they may fully believe it’s in the organization’s best interest.
Here are 7 classic statements that should activate your “status quo radar” and alert you that a few more questions are in order:
We’ve never done it that way before.
We’re not ready for that.
We’re doing all right just as we are.
We tried that one before.
We don’t have the money or manpower to do that.
That’s not really our job.
Something like that can’t work.
How do you get around these “conversation stoppers”? Ask some probing questions to get to the real facts, like:
So, why do you think that is (was)?
What do you think happened (or would happen)?
Are we really satisfied with the way things are right now?
What got (or is getting) in the way?
Rather than start a debate, you’re getting a conversation started where hopefully others will take your lead and seriously question the naysayer’s assumptions. It’s usually assumptions that lead to these defenses of the status quo— mostly the assumption that the future will be pretty much like the past. That’s a good assumption if we keep doing the things we’ve always done. Without doing something differently, you can assume you’ll get more of the same results you’ve always gotten.
Let’s do better than status quo.
ways to entrench the
STATUS QUO
As Andy Capp once said, “It’s doing a little less than average that keeps the average within reach.” Or, as Lewis Grizzard wrote, “Shoot low, boys, they’re riding Shetland Ponies”.
Be a Gift to the Rotary FoundationBY DG TERRY WEAVER
The Rotary Foundation is the charity of choice for Pam and me. Why? I like the way the Foundation does business. First, nothing happens with Rotary Foundation funds until a Rotarian and a Rotary Club say, “We have a problem here, we have a solution, and we need some financial help.” We don’t send money to foreign governments. We don’t send money to political or religious causes. We work only through Rotarians and Rotary clubs.
Now, if you’ve gotten to know Rotarians from other clubs, you’ve realized that they have pretty good judgment about what’s needed and what will work in their communities, just like your club does. That’s why the Foundation returns money every year to the District so we can provide grants to D-7750 clubs with worthy project proposals. This year we granted over $75,000 to 40 projects within D-7750
The same is true for Global Grants, which are available for our District to direct to other parts of the world, matched 2 to 1 by The Rotary Foundation. Our District makes Global Grants only to Rotary projects where we have a relationship with the local Rotary club. These Rotarians also have pretty good judgment about where the needs are in their communities, so we have no concerns about appropriateness or sustainability of the proposed solutions. They have a vested interest in making sure Global Grant funds are used in the most productive ways possible.
Please consider The Rotary Founda-tion in your year-end giving plans. You can contribute by check, by credit card through Rotary Direct, or with appreciated securi-ties. Consider the Foundation also in your estate plans, as a Benefactor at an estate pledge of $1,000 or more, or become a Be-quest Society Member at $10,000 or more.
The Governor’s 10+1 Challenge is still open. For each 10 new members of the Paul Harris Society ($1,000/year pledge to the Foundation), I’ll kick in $1,000 of my own money. I’m hoping The Rotary Foun-dation becomes your charity of choice, as well. November is Foundation Month

All Club Conference for District 7750 April 22-24, 2016 | Greenville Hyatt
Prepare for All Club ConferenceThe event formerly known as District Conference has been redesigned, refocused and rebranded. Going forward, this event will be known as:
All Club Conferencefor District 7750 RotariansThe Club Preparation Guide is an overview of how your club can start now getting ready for the All Club Conference, April 22-24, 2016. Step 1 is to identify your club’s Conference Ad-vocate. Then, take lots of photos and videos of club activities and projects so you can showcase your club’s accomplishments in Rotary Show-case.
These conferences are the main way Rotarians and spouses alike “get” just what a big deal Rotary is.
This event will be both a meaningful Rotary experience and a meaningful life experience for members, spouses and guests
We’ll have nationally-known speakers and breakout sessions on topics such as work/life balance, getting more personally out of your Rotary investment, transitioning from success to significance in your life, and how to visualize, set and achieve your life’s goals. And, of course, how to help your club be more successful in community awareness, service projects, fundraising and more.
How I realized WHY my husband was addicted to RotaryBY NANCY STRANGE, GREENVILLE
After we retired from the Army and moved back home to Greenville, Bert joined the Rotary Club of Greenville in November 2002. It didn’t take long for Bert to become VERY involved with International Projects Committee work, Roper Mountain Holiday Lights, and service on the Board. Clearly he was excited about Rotary, but I really didn’t “get it.” I thought it was another excuse for avoiding the “honey-do list” waiting at home.
Then we went to the District Conference held in Augusta in 2006. The light came on! Hearing the top quality speakers talk about all that Rotary does—not just in Greenville, but across the District and around the world – helped me realize why Bert was addicted to Rotary. Since then Bert has gone on to lead the District’s 2007 Group Study Exchange team to the Canary Islands and to become President of the Rotary Club of Greenville in 2011-12, and I have become a supportive spouse with a genuine appreciation for all Rotary stands for.

The Public Image of your Rotary Club is important for two reasons:
1 It will help you grow membership.
2 It will help you grow financial support for
your club and the Rotary Foundation (because you grew membership).
Keep this in mind about managing your Rotary Club’s public image: do a few things, do them well and do them consistently. Your club will grow in membership and financial support and be an even greater force for good in your community and the world.
Let me know if the PI Committee can be of service to you.
BY BRAD MAJORS | DISTRICT 7750 PUBLIC IMAGE CHAIR | [email protected]
1 First, you must have a PI Chair, someone who will take responsibility for organizing this effort. Keep in mind, the PI Chair cannot do all of the work. Public image is everyone’s
business.
2 Have EVERYONE in the club take a picture of the speaker at your next meeting and post it on their personal Facebook page. I do not mean on the club’s Facebook page
but on the member’s own personal page. Think about the reach of those many posts if everyone were to post just once each week to their FB page! Try it.
3 Use LinkedIn to review people’s volunteer interests. LinkedIn recently added a section for people to list their community service interests. What a great way to find future
Rotarians. Be sure to update your LinkedIn page with your Rotary activities, too.
4 Be sure your club is using the new Rotary logo. The old “wheel” alone is dead. So is the secret handshake. The new logo has the name Rotary right next to the wheel so
non-Rotarians can better understand who we are. The new logo is available at https://brandcenter.rotary.org
5 Keep your club’s Facebook page up to date. That is where some folks might go to learn more about your club. When you post pictures of your club speakers on your personal
page, also post them on your club’s page. If you have a club website, be sure that is also up to date with your meeting time, etc.
6 Don’t forget about having a club brochure. In this day and age of electronic media, having a club brochure is still a good idea so you can put something tangible in a

Rotary International President K.R. Ravindran came up with the new RI Theme: “Be A Gift To The Word”. One of Rotary’s gifts to the world is the “End Polio Now” program. When it was started in 1985, there were 350,000+ cases of polio each year. As of 2015, over 10 million people have avoided getting polio with the help from Rotarians and the “End Polio Now” program.

A sincere thank you and a challenge for the futureFROM PDG TOM FAULKNER
Now that we have the final num-bers for membership and Foundation giving for 2014-15, I want to thank you all for continuing to strive to be the best Rotary District you can be.
You cannot imagine what an hon-or it is to have served as your District Governor. The memories Becky and I carry with us about our 2014-15 year together will definitely last us for our lifetime. I look forward to seeing you at the Foundation Banquet on No-vember 6 as we celebrate our Foun-dation achievements and continue to move toward a record year of mem-bership increases and Foundation giving during DG Terry’s year.
You will continue to hear this year that membership growth in our District is a critically important emphasis for all clubs, but particularly for clubs that are less than 25 members. DG Terry re-minds us that historically the long term future of our smaller clubs that do not break out and grow is very bleak. MEMBERSHIP
So how did we do with member-ship growth during the past Rotary year? We set a goal to exceed the membership standard of 2,634 at 2013-14 year end by 100 members. Not only did we not make that goal, but we actually lost 4 members!
Do not lose heart. As you can see from the last five years of mem-bership stats below, this record is the best membership record in the last 12 years other than 2013-14! Con-
gratulations on continuing to move toward reversing the trend of losing effectively a Rotary Club a year. I know intimately how hard many of our clubs worked last year to increase their membership and I particularly want to thank all of the clubs that more than broke even for 2014-15.
Membership growth will contin-ue to be one of our most challenging tasks going forward. Nevertheless, never forget that if your Rotary Club is not mission-driven, you will not succeed in growing your club, much less maintain your present mem-bership level. Make sure that your community recognizes your club as contributing in at least one major way to the community’s betterment. Ser-vice Above Self is more than an ideal. Its practice ultimately is the primary reason Rotary flourishes.FOUNDATION
As for Rotary Foundation giv-ing, the combined club goal for the Annual Program Fund was $319,995. We exceeded this goal, raising $331,818.10. The table below illus-trates how we compared in our giving to each of the last five Rotary years:
What an achievement. The only year that exceeded our Polio Plus total giving was my dear wife’s year as District Governor 2010-11. I now must go to my grave ultimately de-feated by PDG Becky and her team. Don’t despair. We can certainly claim second place in Polio Plus giving over
the period.Special thanks to our Polio Plus
Chair, Greater Anderson Rotary’s Amelia Nelson, for an incredible cam-paign with major support from PDG Barbara Shayeb-Helou. Note that we almost reached 2013-14’s record Annual Program Fund (APF) giving and total Rotary Foundation giving, establishing 2014-2015 as the second most successful Rotary Foundation campaign ever for District 7750. We also had a record four Rotary Clubs that became 100% PHF clubs: Bates-burg-Leesville, E-Club of the Caroli-nas, Laurens, and Pleasantburg, our Club of the Year.
Special thanks to our former Foundation Chair Gary Goforth for his consistent and dedicated leader-ship over the last three years. Con-gratulations to all our participating Rotarians for your generosity, your caring, and your concern. Remember that it is our Rotary Foundation that makes it possible to serve our com-munities and the world in unique, grassroots-based ways. Let’s continue to break records of Foundation giving in 2015-16 as we approach the 100th anniversary of the Rotary Foundation in 2017.
And don’t forget—the core char-acteristics of a strong Rotary club are fun, fellowship, networking, and ser-vice. Continue to make your Rotary club the best that it can be and make you and your Rotary Club a true gift to the world!

Polio news continues to be good; make gift to World’s Greatest Meal Nov. 6BY AMELIA NELSON7750 POLIO CHAIR
Did you watch the live stream kickoff event present-ed by Rotary and UNICEF on World Polio Day? How did the Global Eradication Initiative to end polio begin? What is the status of global eradication? What is being done to achieve this goal?
A Rotary six million dol-lar project in 1979 to vaccinate children in the Philippines was a success. From that the global erad-ication effort began in 1985 and 25 billion children have received the Salk vaccine and the number of polio cases has fallen so that 99.9 percent of the world is polio free. Rotary has established a blueprint for the next global project – which has already been tested with the outbreak of Ebola.
The Salk vaccine was discovered 60 years ago. Last year there were only 300 cases of polio in the world. We only have two countries not eradicated: Pakistan and Afghanistan. As of October 9, there have been NO cases of polio in Pakistan and only four cases in Afghanistan. Pakistan has initiated emergency centers to obtain and disperse the vaccine. Africa is increasing its surveillance for the next two years to confirm Africa is polio free.
The rest of the good news: Rotary is giving an addi-tional $40 million to UNICEF to aid in this fight to erad-icate polio worldwide AND Bill Gates is going to match Rotarians’ gifts to Polio two to one – YES! 2 to 1!
Therefore, remember to make your donation to the World’s Greatest Meal for polio by November 6th. The Foundation Banquet is our World Polio Day event and district-wide fundraiser for polio. Now all we give will be TRIPLED. Can you make a better investment? Not only does your dollar triple, but you are also saving lives. Please make your tax deductible donation either through the Registration link for the Foundation Banquet or by going to the World’s Greatest Meal at http://wgmeal.com.
District 7750 has been working for 20 years in the village of Cange on the central plateau of Haiti. Our work has become a prime example of what a sustainable project should look like. Charles and Gillaine Warne have led us in this work for the past several years. Join them in February for a tour of the vocational school, and the agricultural work that your dollars have helped fund. See first-hand how YOU are changing the world.
This is the correct Rotary logo. It, and other approved versions, can be found easily at BRAND CENTER, https://
brandcenter.rotary.org. You can see it used throughout this newsletter with club names. If your club is still using the old blue and gold logo, please update your materials to the current Rotary branding guidelines.
RAG on human trafficking can make a difference
Last week it was reported that the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office had achieved it’s first convictions in this state on Human Trafficking. A victim had been forced to commit sexual acts and the life of the victim’s two year old child had been threatened. Stories like this go on around the world day after day. To find out what Rotary is doing contact District #7750’s Chair of RAGS and Fellowships: PDG Bar-bara Shayeb-Helou, [email protected].
