The Art and Science of Making Atmospheric Measurement
By David Troyan, Rotary Club of Riverhead, NY
What do places as
far flung as
Ponca City,
Oklahoma;
Barrow and Atqasuk,
Alaska;
Darwin,
Australia;
Nauru
Island;
and
Manus Island,
Papua New Guinea
have in common?
No, there
are not Rotary Clubs at each location – Atqasuk,
Nauru
Island,
and Manus
Island
are all Rotary-less.
The answer is that at each place
there is a permanent suite of atmospheric measurement equipment
that is part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Atmospheric
Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program.

What is a Paul Harris Fellow?
By PRIP Clifford L. Dochterman
When someone commented that the presentation
itself "gives a PHF its true value as recognition of exceptional
service," I felt that a little more explaining should be made.
Certainly, to recognize a person as a Paul Harris Fellow should
always be an honor to the individual, because it demonstrates
significant support for the wonderful work of The Rotary
Foundation. But, just as a Paul Harris Fellow can be
"recognition of exceptional service," it can also be many other
things, as well.

Rotary in
Kenya
The
first Rotary club in Kenya,
the Rotary Club of Nairobi, was founded in 1930. It is the third
oldest Rotary club in
Africa.
Kenya has a rich history and landscape, making it one of
the most visited and well-known countries in Africa. Its ethnic diversity and stability in
a region that struggles with conflict has led it to become a
regional mediator for neighboring countries such as Sudan and Somalia.
Kenya
has also become known as a haven for refugees fleeing nearby
conflicts.

By Karen Schmidt
Isn't it every manager's dream to have a
team of people who all enjoy their job and know how to do it . .
. a team of people who are fully engaged! Imagine the impact it
would have on turnover and sick leave, which would lead to lower
error rates, greater customer satisfaction and higher sales
figures. The end result would be a dramatic increase to the
bottom line of your organization.

eClub One
In the early 1950's more than 40 million American homes
owned radio sets. However, by 1955, the "Golden Age of
Radio" was coming to an end as television became the
dominant medium for home entertainment. In 1955 Rotary
recorded a series of radio dramas for its 50th
anniversary. In this program we take you back to 1955
for the Rotary Golden Theatre Radio Show.

Manage Your Desk or It Will 'Manage' You
(JUL)
By Robyn Pearce
I had just completed training
programs on delegation and email management for a large
law firm. A few days later the Human Resources Manager
was on the phone. 'One of the partners has asked
if you could please work with one of her young
solicitors. He seems a bit 'stuck' on various things,
including meeting deadlines.'
Let's call him Tom. We worked
together on a number of issues, including how to use his
Outlook calendar to prioritize better. But there was
also another contributing factor to his problems - and
it was very easy to fix.

Operation Cleft
Australia
(JUL)
By
Julie Stein
In November 2004 a group of
Australian Rotarians visited Bangladesh. They
were overwhelmed by the crowds and noise of this
remarkable country whose population is in excess of
153.5 million in an area of just 144,000 sq km.
Compare that to
Australia
where the population is just over 20.5 million in an
area of 7,686,850 sq km.
While visiting villages and local hospitals, the team
noticed many people of varying ages with facial clefts
and never having seen an untreated cleft before, were
curious as to why there were so many.

Address to a Club Assembly of
Rotary eClub One D5450
By District Governor Steve Cantrell,
20 July 2008
Steve
joined Smoky
Hill Rotary in 1990. Like many in Rotary, his
first six months left him wondering whether Rotary was
for him. He finally discovered that moment when he
became a Rotarian, and not just a member of a Rotary
club.
Steve
served as President in 1995-96. In 1998, he was awarded
the club Robert W. Tschappat award (Rotarian of the
Year). Steve showed the importance he places upon
Rotary’s activities by maintaining perfect attendance,
which currently stands at 16 years.

Lost
in
Translation (and in transportation!)
(JUL)
By Rotarian Teri Safranek, Rotary Club
of Escondido
When traveling I try to visit a
local Rotary Club and complete a make-up.
It’s a great way to meet people and learn about
local customs.
I’ve had the pleasure of traveling to Japan
recruiting students for the community college where I
work in Southern California.
My first visit to Japan started out with the
unpleasant experience of starring at the baggage claim
conveyor, watching it spin around and not finding my
luggage.
After an 11+ hour flight this just isn’t fun.

RYLA – Preparing Today’s Leaders for Tomorrow’s
Challenges
(jun)
By Jason Griffith
Lots of people want to “change the world.” It’s what
gets us out of bed; it’s why we give money to charities;
it’s why we join Rotary. In fact, the investment in
making the world better has caught on so much that we
have a term for it. Our lives have been infused with a
“change-the-world” mentality. The Rotary world is
especially inspired by this emotion, and from every
corner of the world Rotarians are joining together to
eliminate malaria, provide drinking water, and deal with
hunger. |

Message from RI President Wilf Wilkinson
(apr)
Rotary is uniquely privileged to be a well-established,
religiously and politically neutral organization with no
governmental ties or obligations. We are known and
respected as a group of men and women who simply come to
help – by bringing clean water and food, teaching
literacy and numeracy, providing assistance after a
disaster, ending polio.
When there is a need, a crisis, or an emergency, Rotary
is there. We know that, as Rotarians, part of our role
in any crisis is to bring people together, rather than
drive them apart. It is our role and also our
responsibility. |

Do you confuse Activity with AccomplishmenT?

By Michael Angier
Almost everyone I know is busy. Heck, even the RETIRED
people I know are busy. It doesn't matter whether you're
in business for yourself or work for someone else, you
no doubt find your day filled with activity. You may
even feel overwhelmed a lot of the time. But being
busy by itself doesn't really amount to much. You
can be busy being busy, but not be making much--or
any--progress. |

[Q] President-elect Lee, what would you hope to
accomplish next year as president?
I would like to see progress made in polio, both in
terms of meeting the Gates [Foundation] challenge grant
and in reducing the number of polio-endemic countries. I
would also like to see child mortality, the terrible
tragedy of preventable deaths of children, become
something that every Rotarian is aware of. |

Because the foothills of India's west coast are too rocky to
retain rainwater year round, villagers must often walk for

Foundation Matching Grants, has launched scores of water
harvesting projects that preserve this precious resource.

Top Ten Reasons to Live a Life of Integrity
(mar)
By Michael Angier
You might
think that it's a no-brainer why one should live an honest
life. But it's apparent to me that a life of integrity is
the exception rather than the rule. How many people do you
know who are honest all the time? We could make a case about
the morality and the "rightness" of living honestly.
Religious leaders have been advocating this for thousands of
years.
It's
doubtful that even they could provide a true model of
integrity. |

Angus M Robinson – Rotary eClub One
Evidence the recent gathering in Bali,
Indonesia, climate change has been very much in the minds of
our political leaders recently. But what does this mean for
Rotarians worldwide? Yes, climate change is occurring, and
irrespective of what is causing it (in other words, global
warming with or without human involvement), governments
around the world are responding by implementing measures to
lessen the amount of greenhouse gases (principally carbon
dioxide) which results from the combustion of our carbon
rich fuels such as coal through electricity generation. |

change because of a false belief. And those who do try,

The

offered at the district level is adequate. And when
asked which meeting should be discontinued, 73 percent
answered: None; keep all training seminars. |

Are you a Spider or a

When
it comes to change, are you a spider or a lion? Do you
sit back like the spider and wait for things to come to
you or do you go out and hunt for your opportunities
like the lion? When it comes to workplace change we need
to have the attitude of the Lion. If we sit back and
wait to see what happens we will usually be
disappointed. There is an old saying that goes “good
things come to those who wait” but today we need to
remember that the only things left to those who wait are
the things left behind by those who hustle! |
