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 .
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.
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.

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

Rotary Club of Victoria Park
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).

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!!!
