DoGoodery 

Do-goodery Introduction. December 2021

ROTARY - Holiday Greetings

ROTARY - Holiday Greetings

Dec. 21, 2021. Today marks the Winter solstice, the official first day of winter and the longest night of the year.  
 
“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.” ― Edith Sitwell.
 
Despite the short days and long nights, we gather together for holiday celebrations with friends and family.  In my home, we are warmed by the candles glowing in our Hanukkiah.  In the homes of friends and neighbors, bright Christmas lights bring joy to all.

Joint Service Week 

 
 
Joint Service Week: 10-16 October
Dear Rotary member,

I am excited to announce that Rotary International is partnering with our friends at Kiwanis International, Lions Clubs International, and Optimist International to increase our collective impact through community service.

Celebrate Community is a weeklong service event taking place 10-16 October. During this time, Rotary, Rotaract, Kiwanis, Lions, and Optimist clubs are encouraged to collaborate with one another to complete a service project that benefits the community. Work with your fellow service club members to determine how you can best help your community, such as:
  • Cleaning up a park, highway, or waterway
  • Planting trees
  • Collecting nonperishable food for food pantries or clothing for homeless shelters
  • Packing meals
  • Harvesting a community garden
  • Reading to children at the local library
  • Volunteering at a local animal shelter
Whatever you choose to do, tell us about it! Tag @Rotary on social media to let us — and your neighbors — know how you’re giving back and celebrating community through service.

Use the club finder tool on the Kiwanis, Lions, and Optimist websites to find a club near you.

I hope this is one of many opportunities for our four organizations to collaborate and serve. We all want to do good in the world, and we can do even more when we do it together.

Sincerely,

John Hewko
General Secretary
Rotary International

Traveling Peace Arch Contest

story-thumbnail
The traveling Peace Arch was conceived by PDG Mel Hollinger in 1989. When Mel was installed as District Governor in 1990 he implemented the program with the following words:
  
"This Peace Arch is a symbol of friendship between our two countries. The object is to encourage us to travel back and forth across the border to neighboring clubs to visit and enjoy Rotary. It must not sit on one side of the border for long periods of time."
 
Over the years it has traveled many thousands of miles across our border, and has helped build many new Rotary friendships. Although it was conceived in 1989, it is uncertain when the program actually began. According to an article written by Bruce Kleeberger, the first exchange of the Traveling Peace Arch took place on May 2nd, 2003 with the Rotary Club of Anacortes (WA). It has traveled across the border between "Sons of a Common Mother" ever since.
 
When a club has received a surprise visit from the latest custodian of District 5050's symbol of inter-club fellowship, it was their responsibility to pass it on across the border as quickly as possible. In one case, the Bellingham Sunrise (WA) club, delivered it to the White Rock Peninsula Club (BC) within four hours.
 
Unfortunately, over the years the tradition has sometimes languished, until today the original arch has actually been lost.
 
At the 2019 District Conference, District Governor Linda Murray replaced the original Peace Arch replica with a Peace Arch coffee cup, reinventing the tradition and turning it into a district wide contest in hopes of revitalizing the program and encouraging interclub fellowship. The rules of the contest are simple...
 
Traveling Peace Arch Contest Rules
 
1.       Take the cup to a club meeting of your choice ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE US CANADIAN BORDER FROM YOUR CLUB.
2.       Take as many of your club members as possible with you.
3.       Points are awarded as follows
a.       Points awarded can be POSITIVE or NEGATIVE!
b.       5 positive points for each member in your group
c.       1 positive point for each mile between your regular meeting place and theirs
d.       10 negative points for each week or portion of a week that the cup is still in your possession beginning 14 days after you received it.
e.       10 positive points extra will be awarded if you upload a story and pictures of your visit.
4.       After visiting another club and leaving the cup behind, log onto www.district5050.org, click on the link to this story, and add your comments below to receive credit for your visit. Remember to describe your visit in detail and email a copy, including pictures for extra points to editor.paj@gmail.com !
5.       The club with the most POSITIVE points will be recognized annually and awarded a prize decided on by the current District Governor
6.       The club with the most NEGATIVE points will also be recognized annually and awarded a (Booby?) prize decided on by the current District Governor.
 
For more information about the Travelling Peace Arch, please contact the TPA Coordinator by emailing editor.paj@gmail.com.

Mel Hollinger's Math

   

Last May, Past District Governor, Mel Hollinger, donated 60,000 Paul Harris Points to Rotary District 5050 to match donations of $1,000 to PolioPlus or to the Annual Programs Fund of the Rotary Foundation. If you donate $1,000 to PolioPlus, you are recognized with your own Paul Harris, plus you receive 2,000 credits for two more Paul Harris Awards and the Gates Foundation will double your donation to $3,000 which will save 5,000 children from polio.  Rotary made a promise to the children of the world to end polio.   Support Mel's Math and save 5,000 children.  Canadian donations will be matched 2:1 again by the Government of Canada to save 7,000 children.  CLICK HERE TO DONATE

Purple Pinkies

Around the world, every time a Rotary volunteer administers a polio vaccine, the child's pinkie is marked purple to identify which children have received the life saving vaccine and to encourage parents to have all children vaccinated.  Many Rotary clubs and Districts hold Purple Pinkie fundraisers to support PolioPlus.

Help Rotary get air miles with your vote

Posted by Mike Leighan

VOTE FOR ROTARY IN UNITED’S 10 MILLION CHARITY MILES GIVEAWAY

Help us earn miles by voting for Rotary in United’s 10 Million Charity Miles giveaway. United is giving at least 25,000 miles to each of its nonprofit partners participating in the promotion. The more votes we get, the more miles we’ll receive. The remaining portion of the 10 million miles will be distributed to participating charities based on the percentage of total votes received.

Vote daily between now and 31 December. And share your vote on Twitter and Facebook to encourage others to support Rotary, too. You can follow our progress on United’s webpage, where our ranking is listed along with a running tally of the votes we’ve received.

Rotary has been United's partner for many years through the Rotary Miles program, which provides free airfare for hundreds of children and adults in need of lifesaving surgery and other worthy causes.

Finishing in second place, Rotary received 2.5 million charity miles in last year’s promotion.
