Governor's message
Rotary International District 2750 2021-22 Governor

Shinichi Miura

Rotary will keep on moving forward
even in the face of the COVID-19
pandemic!
We are already three months into the 2021-22
year, which got underway at a time when the worldis facing a pandemic the likes of which only comesonce every 100 years. From the perspective of ourPresident, Secretary and other members as well,I imagine that Rotary activities under the State ofEmergency declaration got off to quite a rocky start.
However, us Rotarians have an indomitable fighting
spirit. Even the time 100 years ago when the Spanish
Flu spread like wildfire, Rotary boldly rose to the challenge of pursuing its activities without suspending
them, overcoming that pandemic brilliantly. Rotary
Clubs and Rotarians around the world have beentackling the current COVID-19 similarly: by not letting
up and instead continuing to pursue their activities
while standing at the forefront of efforts to eradicate
the virus.
October is “Community Economic DevelopmentMonth.” It is a time during which we enhance ourregional networks with entrepreneurs, community
leaders, local groups and other parties for the sakeof economic development in impoverished regions,and stress the creation of employment, the mitigationof poverty in communities where assistance efforts
are less than thorough, and scholarship support for
professionals who seek to engage in work related tocommunity economic development.
Simultaneously, in Japan only, October is also
“Yoneyama Month,” meaning that it is also a time
when we deeply recognize the significance of theRotary Yoneyama Memorial Foundation Scholarshipand collect donations for that purpose. I hope toinvite Yoneyama Memorial Scholarship recipientsand members of the District Yoneyama MemorialScholarship Committee to a roundtable to listen tothem speak. During the week that includes October
7 in particular, alumni are encouraged to pursue theiractivities alongside and deepen their exchange with
their local Rotary Club.
On October 5, the first of the seven presidential
conferences proposed by RI President Shekhar Mehta
will be held in the South Korean city of Gyeongju. The
theme of this first meeting will be “The Environmentand Disease Prevention and Treatment.” Representing
Japan at the conference is Waseda University Professor
Emeritus Masahiro Amano, who will give a lecture
entitled “The Creeping Threat of Marine Pollution”
during the morning session. An activity presentationon the “Global Environment Support Project” will begiven by District 2820 as well. Additionally, on thetopic of “disease prevention and treatment,” theGovernors of Districts 2570, 2630, 2710 and 2750
will present on projects being implemented in theirrespective districts. As the conference will be held ina Zoom meeting format, you are all encouraged toattend.
October 24 is “World Polio Day.” In District 2750,
the District Public Image Committee will spearheada project entitled “Train Jack Project” that will takeplace between Monday, October 18 and Sunday,
October 24 and will involve the placement of ads
reading “END POLIO NOW” in the women-onlypassenger cars of trains operated by the East Japan
Railway Company. This project will be co-organizedby the members of Districts 2580, 2590, 2770 and2790. On the final day of the project, to coincide withan event to be held in the plaza in front of Yurakucho
Station in Tokyo, a walk rally whose participants willwear T-shirts that read “END POLIO NOW” will takeplace from the Marunouchi Exit of Tokyo Station tothe event venue. We anticipate the participation ofmany Rotarians in this walk rally.
Let us not waste any time in taking “action throughwhich we connect with a spirit of service.”1
