Service Above Self – Making a Difference

August is Rotary International
Membership and New ClubA REVOLUTION IN THE TYPES OF ROTARY CLUBSIS UNDERWAY
Gone are the days when all Rotary Clubs met weeklyover a meal and attendance was taken and tracked.
Over the past decade, flexibility and innovation havebecome the mantra of Rotary International. And thegrassroots have taken up the challenge of creating newways for clubs which to the demands of modern society
and different cultures.
What follows provides a brief overview of the newform clubs are creating.
Traditional:•Meets weekly, usually over a meal –breakfast, lunch or dinner.

•Typically start the meeting with the singing of
the national anthem and the Rotary prayer.

•Have a speaker at each meeting.

•May end the meeting with the singing of God
Save the Queen in countries that are or wereparts of the British Empire.
Semi-Traditional:••

Editor – PP Geoff Horvathmeals or drinks optional,• no formalities (i.e. no speaker, no singing)
The e-Club:•

Officially is NOT a separate category ofa club from a traditional club•meets online•

has a dedicated website•

members are responsible for updating thewebsite•

creates an online platform for hostingmeetings using video-conferencing•

ensures a private section of the website thatonly members can access to protect theirpersonal data•

•lets visiting Rotarians attend your virtual
meeting•

Must have at least 8 members at the time theyform, no maximum number of members•

resource: https://my.rotary.org/en/learningreference/learn-topic/online-club-meetings•

Should have the same name as the sponsor
club plus a qualifier that distinguishes it fromthe sponsor, for example:

Satellite:•If the sponsor and satellite clubs meet at
different times§ Sponsor: Rotary Club of Honolulu§•

Satellite clubs provide another option for creating
Rotary clubs. A satellite club functions as a short-term,transitional step on the way to becoming a full,independent Rotary club.
This allows interested persons to become Rotarians
without meeting the requirement of having at least 20
persons to organize a separate Rotary club. Rotarians
who are absent from regular Rotary club meetings canmake these up by attending satellite club meetings.
A Satellite Rotary Club is an officially sanctioned
by Rotary International Club under the charter of aparent club. The Satellite Rotary Club will have its own
community service projects and fund raisers to support
the community service initiatives established by
the satellite clubs own board.
•Officially, satellite club members aremembers of a traditional or semi-traditionalclub•

Meet at a different location, different time,with a different format and frequency•Have their own executive board

PolioPlus
In 1985, the Polio Plus program was launched the“plus” initially referred to the additional vaccines
administered along with the polio vaccine. Today, italso reflects the fact that the infrastructure, fundraising,and advocacy methods developed for the polio
eradication campaign also support efforts to fightother infectious diseases.

Today 13 Rotarians and Friends of Rotarians really got
down to work to beautify the Gateway to Wahiawa,
as you enter from H2 and Kamehameha Highway. We
did this by cutting down weeds on the roadside,sweeping up rubbish and leaves along the entrance toWahiawa (east side entrance), finishing up using ablower to get all other debris left behind from thesweeping and raking.
We received a lot of support from passing vehicles witha lot of horn blowing! This was exciting to us andpumped us up to work even harder! It was and thirsty
work, but so rewarding!
Most of the Rotarians and friends spent a little over anhour, with three others putting in a total of 2 hours tocomplete phase one. The second phase will be the little
park itself.

Our Rotary Club did this because every little bit ofcleanup counts! We'll also be gaining exposure in thecommunity as caring and conscientiousness Rotarians.

Answer to the Quiz of the Week: Goosebumps(chicken skin)!
Goosebumps are meant to ward off predators.
Why do we get goosebumps? In this physiologicalreaction, small muscles attached to individual bodyhairs contract, which leads the hair to stand on end. We
inherited this ability from our ancestors in part as away for our (then) coat of body hair to capture air
beneath it and in that way retain heat. But, as George
A. Bubenik, a physiologist and professor of zoology
at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada,
explained to Scientific American, it also caused ourancestors to appear bigger than they were, helping toward off predators when they were frightened or on
the defense. With modern humans having less bodyhair, goosebumps no longer cause us to look that much
more intimidating. https://bestlifeonline.com/random-funfacts/
