A new Rotary Year and the 200th edition of Rotary out West

The new Rotary year:
 Changes you should know about
By Arnold R. Grahl  

Rotary News -- 1 July 2013  








For three years, 100 districts have been testing Future Vision,
 a pilot of The Rotary Foundation’s new grant system, 
which was designed to increase Rotary’s effectiveness
 during the next century of service.
As the new Rotary year dawns, the future has begun. 
All districts begin using the simplified grant structure 1 July. 
Districts have already been completing the qualification process and qualifying their clubs.
 A number of clubs and districts have begun preparing 
and submitting grant applications.
There will be three types of grants: global, district, and packaged.
 You can learn about all three types, 
and get more details about the application process,
Also on 1 July, new leaders will take office at the club, district,
 and international levels.
Ron D. Burton, of the Rotary Club of Norman, Oklahoma, USA, 
will become Rotary’s 103rd president 
and will encourage Rotarians to Engage Rotary, Change Lives .
 Read a profile of Burton 
from The Rotarian and download his convention speech.
Anne L. Matthews, a member of the Rotary Club of Columbia East, South Carolina, USA, 
will become the first woman to serve as vice president.
 Matthews, a former director of South Carolina’s Department of Education,
 is president of Matthews and Associates, 
an educational consulting firm.
 Read her biography.
Dong Kurn Lee, of the Rotary Club of Seoul Hangang, Korea,
 will take over as Rotary Foundation trustee chair. 


Other changes for 2013-14:
  • Rotarians will be allowed to form satellite clubs, 
  • whose members meet at a different time 
  • and location from their parent clubs.
  •  The change, approved by the Council on Legislation in April,
  •  is intended to make it easier for members to develop the core for a new club.
  • Districts will be able to form an unlimited number of e-clubs. 
  • The Council removed a limit of two e-clubs per district.
  •  The change is designed to bring in new members 
  • and appeal to young professionals, 
  • who may be less able to meet in person weekly.
  • The name of Rotary’s fifth Avenue of Service will change from
  •  “New Generations Service” to “Youth Service.” 
  • This change was also approved by the Council. In 2010,
  •  this avenue of service joined Club Service, Vocational Service,
  •  Community Service, and International Service.
  • The dues Rotary clubs pay Rotary International will increase 
  • US$1 to $53 per member.
  • A redesigned Rotary website will be launched in late summer.
The RI Board of Directors will seat nine new directors 1 July,
 along with 2013-14 President-elect Gary C.K. Huang, of the Rotary Club of Taipei, Taiwan. 
The new directors for 2013-14 are
 Celia Elena Cruz de Giay, of the Rotary Club of Arrecifes, Buenos Aires, Argentina;

 Coline Compere (homeward bound)
 Felicity Morgan (host sister and outbound for Belgium)
 Norm De Grussa RYE Placement Coordinator
 and (recently returned from Taiwan) Brittany Nielsen who is the current host sister to Coline.

After a year in Australia, our RYE exchange student, 

Coline Compere, is soon homeward bound for Belgium.


On Wednesday, Coline gave a fantastic presentation to the members

 and partners of the Rotary Club of Mundaring 
in which she talked us through a beautifully crafted Power Point presentation 
(accompanied by synchronised music... How do these kids do that stuff)?
 It was obvious that Coline has enjoyed her time here
 and has made many firm friends. 
She claimed that the Australian people of all ages made her so very welcome
 and looked after her so very well that made it a wonderful year,
 the club members assured her that her attitude to life, and to us, 

made it so very easy to be friendly and welcoming to her.


Also present at the meeting were members of her host families 

and three other club exchange students, 
so that the four of them cover all stages of the exchange experience. 
One recently returned, one current and two outward boun

 Going the Extra Mile, written by Richard Keeler,
 is suitable for a wide readership, including school leavers
 embarking upon careers involving customer liaison.
 Every small and medium business owner should also read this book,
 and as an added bonus it is designed
 so that it would look great on a coffee table or reception area.
 This publication features the stories of three West Australian Companies
 on our Southern Coast (an Art Gallery, an Organic Food Grower, and a Winery) 
who have built up successful businesses on the concept 
 of making every engagement between their business and their customer,
 a satisfying, loyalty-generating experience.

Our club can confidently recommend this book as we recently
had the privilege of listening to Richard Keeler 
speak at one of our Rotary Meetings 
and several of our members have bought and read the book.

After Richard’s presentation, the Rotary Club of Victoria Park 
committed itself to help promote this book for Richard
 and to that end we have arranged a dinner function in conjunction 
with The Local Chambers and WA Business News to do that. 
Any Rotarian committed to running a successful business
 would benefit by attending this function!

Join us  on Wednesday Evening 24th July
 at the Old Cathay Restaurant , 59 Albany Hwy (Monodelphous Building).
 See details on aFlyer or Advertisement.

 I’m not a pilot but this video looks real to me.
 However, a number of people within the aviation community
 feel that this landing may be faked.
Some of the reasons given are that there
 are no visible navigation nor landing lights,
 the crosswind component appears to change significantly
 between the two final segments shown in this video, 
and braking appears to be too sudden. 
 I’ll leave it up to you to decide.

A woman walked into a vet’s waiting room. 
She’s dragging a wet rabbit on a leash. 
The rabbit does not want to be there.
“Sit, Fluffy,” she says.
Fluffy glares at her, and sopping wet,
 jumps up on another customer’s lap
, getting water all over him.
“I said sit, now there’s a good Fluffy,” says the woman, 
slightly embarrassed. Fluffy,
 wet already, squats in the middle of the room and urinates.
The woman, mortally embarrassed, shouts, 
“Damn it, Fluffy, will you be good?!” 
Fluffy then starts a fight with a Doberman
 and pursues it out of the office.

As the woman leaves to go after it, 
she turns to the rest of the flabbergasted customers and says,
 “I’m sorry, I’ve just washed my hare,
and can’t do a thing with it!”



A Dubliner boards a bus and asks the driver how long the trip is between Limerick and Cork.


“It’s about 2 hours,” says the driver.

“Thanks,” says the Dubliner.
 “Well then how long is the trip between Cork and Limerick?”

The driver is now a little angry, and says
 “It’s still about 2 hours. 
Why do you think there would be a difference?”

“Well,” says the Dubliner ,
 “It’s only a week between Christmas and New Year
, but it’s an awful lot longer than that between New Year and Christmas!”







look twice   what do you see!!!
