Poundrsquos Post-Brexit Fall Blows Hole In RIBI Budget

As those Rotarians who commit to paying The Rotary Foundation $100 per annum as a sustaining member will

have already realised one effect of Britainrsquos proposed departure from the European Union is that as a result in the fall in the value of the pound the cost of fulfilling this pledge has risen from a little over pound60 to something around pound77Since part of the membership fees that are remitted to RIBI by our clubs also has to be transferred across the pond in dollars the RIBI Treasurer has a similar headache Dollars are normally bought forward at times when the exchange rate is favourable but there is no consensus of opinion within the market as to where the rate will be at the end of 2016 when the next tranche of fees becomes payableHaving presumably taken professional advice the RIBI Finance Committee put forward the following proposal to the August Meeting of the RIBI General Council ldquoWith the second payment to Rotary International not due until February 2017 the Finance Committee recommends not to hedge the rest

August has been a quiet month for club visits but it being the start of a new Rotary year there has been a flood of

information just to read sometimes and often requiring action from Rotary International and our own RIBI President Eve This month saw me attend my first General Council and you will find my report to you on page five in this newsletterOur lsquoEnd Polio Nowrsquo (EPN) project has made

headlines for good and less good reasons Two cases have appeared in Nigeria and this gives concern because Nigeria was thought to be clear although three years clear had not elapsed No doubt the World Health Organisation is on the case and I wish them success in containing the outbreak This work takes money and leads me to our lsquoPurple4Poliorsquo project In RIBI we have ordered over six million crocus corms and our district

contribution was especially strong at well over a quarter of a million Thanks to the team that organised thisThe EPN project is part of The Rotary Foundation and for various reasons Rotarians rarely make a song and dance about our charity The Rotary Foundation has been going for 100 years and has helped improved the lives of a massive number of people in the world The story of The Rotary Foundation is written in the very readable and illustrated book entitled lsquoDoing Good in the Worldrsquo This can be bought from the Rotary shop for $40 - I can recommend it In addition you can buy the story of EPN ndash lsquoRotary and the gift of a Polio-Free Worldrsquo It comes in two volumes which can be bought separately for $15 each (I understand there is a sales tax of $150 added) Both these can be bought from the Rotary shop (shoprotaryorg) and fulfilment is by AmazonRotary International enthusiastically sets targets and given that this is the centennial year the goal for our foundation is $300million To achieve this I encourage you to think about holding a fundraiser particularly on 24 October which is World Polio Day or 23 February which is Rotary DayFinally Irsquod like to remind you of some key events - there is my conference on 15 October the RIBI Conference in Manchester on 7-9 April and the RI Convention in Atlanta on 10-14 June in Atlanta I will be at each of these events (particularly my conference)

The RIBI General Council (GC) meets four times each Rotary year and the first

meeting of 201617 was held during the first week of August Each GC meeting starts with a mid-week webinar that deals with minutes and action points and some reports I go to RIBI headquarters in Alcester for the weekend for Saturday and Sunday face-to-face meetings I am encouraged to tell you what decisions were made but I canrsquot tell you anything about the discussion and the way people votedJudith Diment our Polio Plus National Advocacy Adviser gave an update on Polio Eradication and the changes to the vaccination programme now that Type 2 polio has been eliminated It is estimated that up to $15 billion will be required to complete the eradication programme Much of this funding will come from government sources but Rotary funding is still critical and is required to support people vehicles and other infrastructure World Polio Day is October 24th and Rotary Day is 23rd February both are excellent opportunities for events to raise awareness and fundsIf you are interested in reading about the Polio programme the Rotary Shop offers ldquoRotary and the Gift of a Polio-Free Worldrdquo volumes one and two Each cost $15 + $150 tax Search the title in GoogleThe Purple4Polio programme has achieved orders for 6000000 corms and these should be planted in November A template for signage

will be available shortly so that Rotary can be recognised when the crocuses flower

Wersquoll also be ordering more crocus buttonholes

RIBI is managing an order of 30000

which is the minimum quantity

The RIBI Treasurer reported that the

dollar exchange rate collapse following

Brexit had created a black hole in the RIBI

budget Although there are arguments either way

the GC decided that it should minimise risk and agreed

to hedge funds at a $131 e x c h a n g e rate We also agreed to remove the affiliation fee and back date the removal to 1 July 16 The combined effect of these items will impact the budget significantly However it was pointed out that an increase in membership of one per club would do much to counteract these impacts An extra finance committee meeting is planned shortly to look at the long term outlook for subscriptionsThe 2017 RIBI Conference will be held in Manchester on 7-9 April and Kathryn Jenkins will give a concert in the Bridgewater Hall The

conference finances could be improved but this is easily accomplished if we get at least 1800 delegates RIBI President Eve Conway confirmed that the Kathryn Jenkins concert is self-funding and is not linked to the conference finances The 2018 RIBI Conference will be held in TorquayProgress with Rotary Global Rewards was reported as good David Ellis is the ambassador for Great Britain and Ireland

The Member Benefits Program Manager

Naish Shah said that 352 Rotarians had added their business offers to the program although I suspect that many of these offers will be from the USA You can do the sameThe second session on Sunday morning gave priority to a discussion on membership The key strap line was for all clubs to be attractive marketable and vibrant Is yours I was reminded that the district membership committee had responsibilities to identify opportunities for club extension be an advocate for Rotary and champion the use of Social Media etc Because many Rotary clubs meet weekly and have well established friendships we try to sell a club rather than the Rotary cause The Rotary cause will be with us long after our Rotary club has gone RIBI has invested a lot in a program called Rotary Growth Opportunities (GO) with the purpose to arrest membership decline The program is coordinated by RIBI Membership Chair Cath Chorley and program headings include Associate and Corporate membership Developing New Clubs Developing Satellite Clubs and Innovative and Flexible Clubs In this district we are largely aware of this but we need to crank up the membership cause a few notches and take more actionThe Rotary Ride will take place around Fatherrsquos Day in 2017 (the weekend of 1718 June) with proceeds going to End Polio NowAt the General Council we were joined for a very short time by Ray Burman who is chair of the Council of Past Presidents It is their job to watch over Rotary in Britain and Ireland assisting in conflict resolution and ensuring that clubs act according to procedure I hope we donrsquot need their services

Just seven months ago the picture above represented the misery felt by hundreds of

households across West and North Yorkshire following the Boxing Day floods Rotarians responded so generously sending just over pound 100000 to the RIBI appeal as well as many thousands of pounds directly to clubs where you already had contacts Many of you also donated cleaning materials and household goods giving up your time to deliver these to the stricken areas where you saw for yourselves the devastation to the villages towns and cities Money has been donated to three Community Funds who were able to get government matching for every pound donated pound10000 was given to Calderdale Community Fund and pound5000 each to York City and North Yorkshire Funds administered by the Two Ridings Community Fund The money was used to provide immediate relief

cash grants to households affected by the floods The Funds worked with local councils and social services to ensure fair distribution of the cashAs for the rest of the money clubs in the areas affected were asked to go out into the community and talk to groups whose facilities had been badly damaged or destroyed and who were not covered by insurance ndash usually those based in a flood plain area or one with a history of flood damage The response was widespread and very varied with 31 applications received and resulted in a wide range of sports groups community services and clubs being assisted The money which you all donated has made a huge difference to the people living in the affected areas across District 1040 and helped to restore the community groups so that peoplersquos lives can return to near normal even if they are not yet back in their own homes

Yorkshire Flood Appeal Update Our Club was delighted to be

awarded the District Gold Award for our Nature and

Environment programme earlier this year This ambitious project has grown and evolved over recent months into an interesting and exciting initiative designed to encourage children in the local schools to learn more about the natural environment The concept grew out of our realization that many children although living in a town surrounded by beautiful habitat have little or no appreciation of the countryside or of the important role that they can play both now and in the future We have been so encouraged to see the children learning about river life the importance of biodiversity in the commonlands our wildlife and how essential it is to take care of all this for future generations It is this learning that lays the foundation for the future Over the past few months we have seen over 300 children attend some element of the programme with an excellent

attendance by one school in particular - Wells Hall School Great Cornard Teaching the children to appreciate the importance of our environment will we hope engender in

them a passion for its future and who knows maybe one or two will be inspired to make it their profession We feel strongly that this initiative would work elsewhere in the country and if any Rotary Club is interested in producing a similar programme please feel free to get in touch with us Lynda Sebbage Past Chair Environment Cttee Rotary Club of Sudbury

The Rotary Club of Norwich and the e-Club of East Anglia have received a combined

donation of pound1000 towards the Polio Plus campaign from Vivian Chen Vivian was an MBA student at the University of East Anglia and Norwich Rotarian Keith Tovey (one of her teachers) persuaded her to join the Rotary Club of Norwich during his Presidential Year in 2010-2011 Vivian contributed to the life of the club but shortly afterwards was posted to China by the World Wildlife Fund in which she had gained a senior position Being a Chinese national Vivian could not join Rotary in China (only expats can join) so Vivian continued as a member of the Rotary Club of Norwich and indeed flew back to Norwich to celebrate the Clubrsquos 90th Birthday in 2012 A few years ago when the e-Club was founded Keith suggested that she transfer to that club and she has even despite the time difference participated in some of their on-line meetingsEarlier this year Vivian was

concerned that she was unable to fully participate in Rotary and decided to donate pound1000 to the Polio Eradication campaign and she has requested that pound300 be attributed to her original Club of Norwich and pound700 to the e-Club With the support from the Gates Foundation this represents a significant addition to the District total

Collecting milk bottle tops may appear to be an easy task and relatively speaking

it is until you reach the situation where sackfuls of tops appear in your car That was the experience encountered when Rotarian Jilly Boocock from the Rotary Club of Norwich St Edmund informed fellow NSE member Caroline Evans that shersquod collected bottle tops from a number of local cafes and restaurants in her home town ldquoIt is difficult to say just how many tops were in Jillyrsquos car - there wasnrsquot much room for anything elserdquo says Caroline ldquoIt was an amazing sight but undaunted the bags of tops were duly transferred from one car to another before being checked and put into empty milk bottles and delivered to an appropriate re-cycling centre for collectionWhy should they be engaged with such an activity It is all in a good cause namely the Matthew Project The charity was established to help support people with drug and alcohol related issues as well as providing innovative education about the risks of such matters One sixth form pupil commented ldquoIrsquoll never take drugs Having met and listened to a former drug addict I realised how your

whole future is destroyed through such an abuserdquo The former drug addict was provided by The Matthew Project Having such an opportunity to hear at first hand the effects of drug abuse certainly had an impact on one pupil if not many othersSince April 2015 when the project began 84 tonnes of plastic has been successfully recycled and over pound650 raised for The Matthew Project This is a worthwhile and relatively straightforward project for Rotarians to engage with and the impact is huge For further information check out the website via this button

Cambridgeshire will be competing for the Eastern Region which also includes Essex and Hertfordshire A total of 194 athletes will represent the Eastern Region at the National GamesThe cost to send each athlete to the Games is pound500 and the branches have to raise all of the money themselves as they receive no funding from Special Olympics Great Britain to help with this The athletes and their families are organising various fundraising activities such as sponsored runs walks swims and car boot sales They are also seeking sponsorship

and donations from local business and community organisations as well as grants from charitable funds Local organizers would be grateful for any support that local Rotary Clubs could provide The Rotary Club at Orton in D1270 has already donated pound500 to the Peterborough branch which represents CambridgeshireThe contacts below are more than happy to answer queries meet with Rotarians or speak at meetings and

September we have closed the list for District Grant applications We are pleased to say that we have a full list and all those applications that we approved will be met in full However that assumes that we have no problems with The Rotary Foundation (TRF) in the US Letrsquos hope not We will now supply the list to TRF and then they authorise the money which is sent to the District Account A big thank you to Peter Small for looking after it for us We would anticipate that the money will be available at the end of October We will still have some money left to allocate during the year for any urgent and unexpected projects So if you need anything please contact us The list of Grant Projects is shown in the adjacent boxThanks go to all who have submitted the projects and we look forward to hearing about the results of your efforts For those clubs who have not requested a District Grant it really is money for old rope As long as your club has members who are actively involved in the project we will hand out cash All it takes is to fill in one form Contact us for more advice or helpIf you wish to participate in a much larger project with a minimum project funding of around pound25000 then you can apply for a Global Grant These can be applied for at any time during the year They are the way to really make a big sustainable change to

a community which be here or abroad The great idea about these grants is that you have to work with another Rotary Club Doing good whilst partnering other clubs with possibly different ways of operating and meeting is interesting But no matter how different they are it will still be lsquoRotaryrsquo While you are reading

this I will be visiting the Kilifi Club in Kenya discussing a Global Grant to install toilets and clean water in very poor schools It has around 25 to 30 members mainly young ladies who really know how to work hard for Rotary The club is predominately made up of Kenyans with American Indian and British ladies and an older male Canadian professor It is a joy to visit and work with them Their meetings have no meals maybe a drink if you wish one and very little formality The start times are Kenyan (ie whenever you turn up) but they get the work done All the club officers are female as they consider the male members too lazy to accept responsibility But they do know how to enjoy Rotary Fellowship Their parties featuring barbequed goat are fantastic For this project we will also be partnering with clubs in Oxfordshire So if you wish a broader outlook on Rotary and the way it works away from D1080 find an overseas club and start a project

PeaceOur Peace efforts are progressing well

with Pat Webb as usual doing a great job and putting her heart and soul into the project The D1080 Peace Conference on the 12th November at Norfolk County Hall and planning this year is well advanced although the final main speakers have yet to be confirmed We are sure that it will continue to build on last yearrsquos success Please contact Pat for more information This is a great day for young people to understand where lsquoPeacersquo

fits into their lives The Bill Huntley Memorial Peace Seminar at the University of Bradford is being held on the 29th October this year The keynote speaker is Sean Sutton a manager from the Mines Advisory Group The whole event sounds excellent Again for more information contact Pat

What Rotary has achieved over the past century is remarkable We were one of the worldrsquos first membership

service organizations Rotary members have made a decisive positive impact in our communities and around the world from helping to draft the UN Charter in San Francisco in 1945 to spearheading the most successful global health partnership in history with the launch of our PolioPlus program in 1985 bringing one of the worldrsquos most feared diseases to the brink of eradication The list of ground-breaking Rotary projects is too long to mention here but as our Foundation enters its second century we also need to think hard about how we will continue to have the kind of impact and influence that has shaped our first 100 yearsOur members of course are the beating heart of Rotary So membership is a good place to start

Greater flexibilityOver the past 15 years Rotary has carried out pilot programs that have explored new definitions of membership classifications and the club experience We have consistently found that when clubs are given the freedom to determine how to hold their meetings the composition of their membership and what defines engagement the club is more vibrant and better able to growIn some parts of the world the traditional club model works just fine but in others our membership is flat-lining To be frank a single club model applied universally across our incredibly diverse Rotary communities is probably not sustainableTo address this and support Rotaryrsquos future health Rotaryrsquos Council on Legislation adopted two measures that in my mind are critical for our organization clubs now have greater flexibility (see the video via the red button above right) in when where and

how they meet and the types of membership they offer (see the video via the blue button below)

Also importantly Rotaractors can become members of Rotary clubs while they are still in Rotaract

Itrsquos your choiceWhile this flexibility is available to those clubs that choose to amend their bylaws a club that wishes to continue to adhere to the traditional requirements regarding meetings attendance structure or categories of membership may continue to do soSome clubs are already taking advantage of the new flexibility as the blog post from a Rotaract member who is also now a Rotary member (accessible via the button below) shows

Rotary needs to retain the talents of qualified young leaders as well as attract members from all demographic groups The membership decisions like many others at this yearrsquos Council are a significant step for Rotaryrsquos futureLearn more about the membership and meeting flexibility decisions and the impact they will have on our organizationrsquos growth in the years ahead by downloading the PDF via this button

On the 31st July 70 cyclists set off for a charity Rotary Ride with a difference

Organised by the eClub of East Anglia the event was held at the Welney Wildfowl amp Wetlands Trust centre (WWT) hosting riders from all walks of life With three routes to choose from there were families amateur cyclists and professional cycle club members The 25km 50km and 100km took the riders through some interesting countryside and more flat than many cyclists are used to making it much more of a ldquostaminardquo sportive that normal The eClub was joined by a number of fenland clubs with members helping around the routes as marshals It was organised by Gary Gardner and Mike Anthony of the eClub who did a superb job from promoting it around the county to putting the route signage up on the

day Safety was paramount with a first aid response coordinated by our incoming President Jacqueline Whipp and the radio control at each checkpoint by Raynet Refreshments were a welcome treat around the routes too provided by Lexus CarsBeing the first year that the eClub has put on an event like this it was a gamble that has paid off - achieving around pound2000 giving at the last count Being an eClub people think that we cannot ldquodo projectsrdquo but we can bring all of our skills to bear from press and publicity being done by our member Allan Berry (who is the editor of the RIBI Rotary magazine) to another member sorting out social media poster and leaflet design and printing On the day we had around 10 of our eClub attending and doing a variety of tasks

We were pleased to join forces with the Chatteris Cycling Club to attract other cycling club members to take part We even had people travel from Manchester Lowestoft and the Lake District to participate It is now time to reflect and decide whether we will do it again next year If we do our aim will be for it to become an annual ldquoFenland Rotary Clubs Riderdquo showing that together Rotary can be strong and promote what we do around the district eClub Rotarian Gary Gardner summed it all up by saying ldquoAlthough it was a lot of hard work it came good on the day and we showed that an eClub can put on projects and raise money for good causesrdquo Find out more about the ride via this button

Great News Throughout RIBI Rotary clubs have ordered over six million crocus corms Our District ordered

over 250000 corms - A magnificent effort This exceeds our target and we can look forward to carpets of purple appearing all around the country with awareness and funds being raised for our campaign to finally rid the world of polio The crocuses should arrive at our District delivery point in Sloley during the last complete week of August They should then be delivered to or be available for collection by clubs over the course of the following two to three weeks When you receive the corms please read the instructions on the box about airing The advice is that the corms should be planted in October For your assistance a planting instructions leaflet has been produced by RIBI To obtain your copy please click on the button below

Remember depending on where you choose to plant you might need to get the permission of the local council and possibly need to check whether and when any weed treatment may be planned In our area which is covered by the Highways Department of Norfolk CC weed treatment will not happen until May 2017 which should leave the crocuses unscathed Please let me know where you will be planting so that we can tell the rest of the District to look out for themSo far this year there have been only 21 cases of wild poliovirus in the world H o w e v e r the World H e a l t h O r g a n i z a t i o n has confirmed two cases of wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) in Nigeria the first cases in the country since July 2014 After passing a year without a case of the wild poliovirus Nigeria was removed from the list of polio-endemic countries in September 2015 These cases ndash from two local government areas of Borno state ndash occurred in July 2016 The Government of Nigeria in partnership with the Global Polio Eradication Initiative will take immediate steps to respond quickly to the outbreak to prevent further spread of the disease This response will include emergency vaccination campaigns to boost immunity in impacted and at-risk areas and reinforced surveillance activities to ensure we detect all strains of polio Because polio knows no borders steps will also be taken to

protect surrounding countries to ensure all children are vaccinated and to reduce the risk of the spread of the disease

World Polio Day is Monday October 24th What can you do to raise awareness

and funds Maybe in the weekend before or after or

if you want to think big you could start

planning for n e x t

February 23rd or

O c t o b e r 24th Here

are some more ideas

Become an exhibitor at an event

You could reserve space at an existing local

farmers market agricultural show community party or

conference and book a stand or table in the exhibition area

You can hand out materials about Rotary and World Polio Day

Sponsor a major event in town Perhaps you can sponsor or create an annual run or walk and name it the World Polio Day Marathon Create an event that will naturally incorporate the issue into the fabric of the community

Establish a one-day World Polio Day festivalOrganize a one-day festival with music and local artists food from local restaurants and booths representing businesses in your community You can speak with attendees about what Rotary is doing to end polio globally

Host a presentation in the communityAttend a meeting or event of another association or organization and give a presentation about Rotary and World Polio Day Make sure to bring membership and club materials and brochures to hand out to attendees so they learn more about how they can get involved Remember to invite interested community members from this presentation to your next meeting

Co-host an event with another organisationCross-promotion is a great way to grow awareness Host an event with another organisation or association that gives both of your members an opportunity to network and learn more about how they can get involved

Host a craft marketInvite local artists and designers to come and sell their work The vendors can pay a fee for space andor your club can take a small percentage of sales Maybe invite local chefs or restaurateurs to serve small samples of their food and drinks to get people in the door

Host a fundraising event with a silent auctionSell tickets to a full-service event that includes fun food and beverage dancing and an engaging speaker with a connection to Rotary and World Polio Day A great way to drive additional funds is to add a silent auction Gather packages and items for auction from local businesses and community partners andor feature professional services from your members

Good luck in your fundraising and awareness campaigns

The Past President of Malegaon Rotary Club Maharashtra India dropped

in to the Rotary Club of Norwich Centenary during a recent visit to his daughter and son in law who live in Norwich

At the beginning of 2013 I was serving as membership chair of

my club when I realized that we needed to do something to reverse the loss of membership Three years later we have a vibrant and growing multi-dimensional club ndash we use the term lsquoMulti-lifestyle Rotary Clubrsquo ndash that is making full use of the digital age and is discovering smarter ways of operating to secure our long-term future How did we do it and what do we mean by a multi-lifestyle club What I mean is a club that appeals to and is comprised of members of more than one distinct group who work ldquotogether yet apartrdquo Currently we operate two groups a traditional evening group and a new business development group The latter meets over breakfast and appeals to younger enterprising entrepreneurs and business executivesSun and planets modelEach group operates and manages itself to suit its members the traditional group has a council and committees while the business development group has a small executive team using smart technology and social media to connect The two groups are bonded together by their common belief in and

practice of the aims objectives and values of Rotary along with a willingness to collaborate

That is when the real magic happens Yoursquoll often find members at each otherrsquos meetingsHaving investigated various models of governance we are now considering a ldquosun and planetsrdquo approach The ldquosunrdquo at the centre of the club is the board comprising an elected president secretary and treasurer chosen by all the members of the club plus the chair of each group The groups themselves are the planetsHow it worksIn this model the role of the board is to lead the club and

provide strategic direction and leadership maintaining standards and accountability In keeping with Rotary International practices two full club assemblies are planned for each year The board is charged with creating the conditions for a growing vibrant diverse club where

in to the Rotary Club of Norwich Centenary during a recent visit to his daughter and son in law who live in Norwich

At the beginning of 2013 I was serving as membership chair of

my club when I realized that we needed to do something to reverse the loss of membership Three years later we have a vibrant and growing multi-dimensional club ndash we use the term lsquoMulti-lifestyle Rotary Clubrsquo ndash that is making full use of the digital age and is discovering smarter ways of operating to secure our long-term future How did we do it and what do we mean by a multi-lifestyle club What I mean is a club that appeals to and is comprised of members of more than one distinct group who work ldquotogether yet apartrdquo Currently we operate two groups a traditional evening group and a new business development group The latter meets over breakfast and appeals to younger enterprising entrepreneurs and business executivesSun and planets modelEach group operates and manages itself to suit its members the traditional group has a council and committees while the business development group has a small executive team using smart technology and social media to connect The two groups are bonded together by their common belief in and

practice of the aims objectives and values of Rotary along with a willingness to collaborate

That is when the real magic happens Yoursquoll often find members at each otherrsquos meetingsHaving investigated various models of governance we are now considering a ldquosun and planetsrdquo approach The ldquosunrdquo at the centre of the club is the board comprising an elected president secretary and treasurer chosen by all the members of the club plus the chair of each group The groups themselves are the planetsHow it worksIn this model the role of the board is to lead the club and

provide strategic direction and leadership maintaining standards and accountability In keeping with Rotary International practices two full club assemblies are planned for each year The board is charged with creating the conditions for a growing vibrant diverse club where

both groups operate within the requirements of RI and collaborate to the mutual benefit of all members their families and the local communityWhat next This yearrsquos president is from the business development group and more groups are plannedDo you like our model What would you think of becoming a multi-lifestyle club
