Governor's Message
As Rotarians we dare to imagine a world where all children have
access to education and opportunities for productive work as
adults. Literacy is central to ensuring that all children develop the
capacity to imagine a better future and the skills necessary to
shape those dreams. The power of literacy lies not just in the
ability to read and write, but rather in the capacity to apply these
skills to effectively connect, interpret and discern the complexities
of the world in which we live. Literacy is essential to solving the
challenges of the world, including eradicating poverty, malnutrition,
poor health care and inadequate sanitation. In fact, it is vital to
promoting peace and helping us eradicate Polio. Literacy is so
important that it is one of Rotary International’s six areas of focus –
Basic Education and Literacy.
Rotary’s focus on basic education and literacy helps us ensure a brighter future in our local
communities. Our contribution to basic education and literacy locally is significant. From
scholarships, backpack buddies, read a book-get a book, read and feed, school supplies drives,
reading to students, dictionary projects, little free libraries, and mentoring students to youth focused
programs like the Four-Way Test Essay Contest, Interact, RYLA and Youth Exchange, our passion
for supporting youth literacy is evident. Lives are changed in meaningful ways because you
choose to give of your time to support the various ways we engage with youth, and support the
development of youth, through basic education and literacy in our communities.
This year, we will be sending a team of early education specialists as part of a Vocational Training
Team to Sao Paulo, Brazil. Early Childhood Education (ECE) focuses on children from birth to five
years of age, the formative stages of development. Team members will travel to Brazil in February
2016 and spend time with their peers, sharing ideas and best practices. All expenses for the team
are funded through a Global Grant supported by clubs in our district and Brazil’s District 4510. The
team will learn and share information with local experts and bring new knowledge back home to
implement and make changes in our community to help improve readiness for school.

I am so proud of all that you are doing to promote basic education and literacy. From cradle to
career, we are supporting the advancement of youth so that they develop the capacity and skills to
navigate the complexities of an ever changing world. Literacy is fundamental to all that we seek to
achieve as Rotarians in shaping a world where peace is possible.

325 Pittsboro Street, Chapel Hill
Filmed in the war-zones of Liberia and the Congo with unprecedented access to the field
operations of Doctors Without Borders, Living in Emergency follows four volunteer doctors as they
struggle to provide emergency care under extreme conditions. This film is an excellent opportunity
to consider humanitarianism in the context of war and conflict.
This academic year, The Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center is organizing a “Peace Film Series” of
three (3) peace and conflict-related films. If you have any questions contact Amy Cole at
coleac@email.unc.edu or 919-843-4887.

2015 Rotary United Nations Day
Rotary Day at The United Nations in New York City celebrates the unique role Rotary International
played in helping to create The United Nations as an instrument for peace following World War II.
More than 1,300 participants come together annually at UN Headquarters in New York City. This 1-
day program (2 ½ day trip) is designed to inspire & educate and includes a special program for
youth interested in humanitarian service. Youth will hear an overview of the UN, learn about a
model UN Program and participate in panel discussions featuring leaders and officials from the
United Nations and Rotary International.
Who will we invite?
Juniors and seniors in District 7710 high schools who have attended Rotary Youth Leadership
Awards (RYLA), are Interact Club members, or are Rotarians’ children/grandchildren. We will also
be inviting 1 Rotarian chaperone for every 6 students that are registered.
When does this happen?
 September – We register the students and chaperones and final payments will be due
 November – We go to the UN in NYC!
What can you and your club do?
1. Put an estimated $300 per sponsored student or chaperone in your 2015-2016 budget
2. Ask your RYLA and Interact students to participate
3. Make announcements to your club asking for student and chaperone participants
Wondering where it fits?
By sponsoring students and chaperones for the UN Rotary Day you will cover three of Rotary’s
Areas of Focus:
1. Promoting Peace
2. Supporting Education
3. Growing Local Economies and Leaders
Are you going to make it happen?!
Thank you for giving students (future Rotarians) this opportunity! For more information contact
either Carrie Iafrate at carrieiafrate@gmail.com or Charles Marcom at cmarcom@ksbankinc.com

Plan Now for World Polio Day
By Joseph M Reardon, MD
We are inching closer than ever to worldwide eradication and there is something for everyone to do
as we approach World Polio Day on October 24, 2015!
The worldwide polio case count as of September is 39 cases in 2015. This is the lowest number of
cases ever recorded. The only remaining hotspots of transmission are Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The government of Pakistan announced in early August a plan to eliminate polio from Pakistan by
the end of 2016, based on a new peace deal brokered with the Taliban.
What is your club doing to observe World Polio Day? This year we
are challenging every club to observe this day. At the minimum, we
challenge you to participate in World’s Greatest Meal. For more
information on this event go to www.wgmeal.com For this event, your
club brings brown bag meals instead of its usual meal, and the funds
that would have gone for each member’s meal can either be donated
directly to PolioPlus on Rotary Direct or through the www.wgmeal.com
website. Alternatively, your club can prepare a meal, invite community
members and have attendees purchase tickets through
www.wgmeal.com. Please contact PolioPlus chair Joe Reardon if you
need a speaker for your event.
For the over-achievers, the Durham Clubs are sponsoring a Walk for Polio and your club is invited!
Or consider sponsoring a Walk for Polio in your own corner of the District. In November, we’ll be
recognizing EACH club that observed World Polio Day in this newsletter column, so please email
Joseph Reardon at Joseph_Reardon@post.harvard.edu with updates on what your club is doing.
Finally, we are proud to announce a new art drawing for polio vaccination on the site causio.com .
Head on over to the https://www.causio.com/rotary-7710-end-polio-now-2015 to show your support
on social media before Oct 31, 2015!

Last year’s Youth Exchange students took part in
the annual Global Run 4 Water.
Youth Exchange is a Growing Outreach
By Johnny Whitfield
District 7710’s commitment to the international portion
of Rotary International is a year-round effort. Now in
its fifth year as a reconstituted program, our Youth
Exchange program has sent or received students to
and from Europe, South America, Asia and even
Iceland. Each year, our program has gotten stronger
and Rotarians are becoming more active participants
in the program.
We recently sent four students home after they spent a year in Durham, Clayton, Wake Forest and
Chapel Hill. At the same time students from District 7710 were in Switzerland and Germany.
This year we will receive students from Chile and Thailand. We are sending students to Bolivia and
Belgium. The Rotary Club of Durham sponsored one of our outbound students and they will also
host a student. The Wendell and Zebulon clubs jointly sponsored another outbound and will host
an inbound. The Wake Forest club has also generously agreed to host a last-minute inbound
student.
Youth Exchange is a powerful way to spread peace throughout the world as foreign students come
here and discover that stereotypes about Americans aren’t really true. Our outbound students learn
the same lessons in the countries they visit. That experience builds a lasting foundation of
understanding between people of different nations and cultures. The young people return from their
school-year exchanges as more independent and more open-minded people.
We have also expanded our program to include short-term exchanges - direct exchanges of three
to four weeks during the summer - which give students another opportunity to explore other
cultures and bring foreign students here.
There are a couple points about District 7710’s Youth Exchange that are important to keep in mind.
First, we want to continue to grow our program. Chair Kelly Norman has set an ambitious goal for
us to host 10 students next year and send 10 more abroad. To do that, we need clubs and
individual Rotarians willing to sponsor and host students. If your club can’t host or sponsor a
student, consider hosting a social event for our inbound students. It will give you an opportunity to
learn more about the program and it gives the students a fun opportunity. We plan to host one
social outing each month for our students. Get in line quickly.
Second, we want you to work with you networks (family, work, church, Interact) for outstanding
young people ages 15-18 who would be interested in spending a school-year overseas. Interested
students should submit their application to their sponsoring club by Nov. 15. 2015.
To learn more about the Rotary Youth Exchange, contact Kelly Norman at kmarsh614@yahoo.com
or 919-271-6398; Johnny Whitfield at jwhitfield@newsobserver.com or 919-812-4086; or Jim
Harrington at grayghost@higdons.com or 919-623-5085.

Reading Rangers
By Todd Taylor
The Rotary Club of Durham’s Rotary Reading Rangers have
partnered with East Durham Children's Initiative and Durham Public
Schools for the fourth year in a row to provide volunteers to work
with Y.E. Smith Elementary School and Neal Middle School students
to help achieve literacy objectives.
Last year 35 Reading Rangers volunteered over 550 hours at Y.E.
Smith. The school’s principal, Letisha Judd, reported to the Durham
Club that the Ranger program is really making a noticeable
difference in the academic achievement of the students. Primarily
working with K-2 students, some students have actually made up a
year and half in tested progress.
The Reading Rangers are gearing up for another year. A welcome and
training session for all Rangers will be held on September 29, at the
Y.E. Smith’s Media Center. Rangers are not limited to Rotarians,
anyone willing is welcome to join the effort. Anyone interested in
becoming a Ranger or learning how to set up a similar effort in another
school, contact Todd Taylor at todd.taylor@dukece.com. Yee Haw,
join the posse and help drive down the literacy trail. In the immortal
words of Dr. Seuss “you are never too old, too wacky, too wild, to pick
up a book and read with a child.”
Rotary Club of Durham Paint Carolina Theatre Stairwell
At the end of July, members of the
Rotary Club of Durham helped paint the
stairwell of the Carolina Theatre as part
of the club’s yearlong effort to provide
“100 Acts of Service above Self.”
A dedicated team of Rotarians spent
several days upgrading the main
stairwell of the historic downtown venue
with a fresh coat of paint. Volunteers
assisted theatre crews in taping,
prepping and painting the massive
stairwell, which can be seen through the
windows from Morgan Street.

Read and Feed
By Carol Allen
The Cary MacGregor's Read and Feed program began
in 2007 serving 12 children in one neighborhood and
has grown to serve about 650 children at 20 different
program sites, four nights a week during the school
year.
Using three Recreational Vehicles (RV) converted into mobile classrooms and employing other
community-based sites in churches and community centers, the organization works to fulfill its
mission “to give low income elementary school children an appetite for reading by strengthening
literacy skills and providing encouragement in a nurturing, neighborhood environment. Using
mobile classrooms, we provide meals to eliminate hunger, mentors to help children read, and
books to build home libraries.”
The program is supported by grants and by private donations.
Rotarians from several clubs in District 7710 have volunteered as
tutors and RV drivers and donated funds to help the organization
continue to serve children in our communities.
Read and Feed is holding their first major fundraiser on Thursday,
September 24 at Marbles Kids Museum in downtown Raleigh. Rock
and Roast, the event will feature an oyster roast, BBQ chicken &
fixin’s, wine & beer, live music by Back of the Boat Tour, and live and
silent auctions. Tickets are available on the website
www.readandfeed.org.
Creator/Developer of DACdb Passes
Mike Thacker the creator and developer of DACdb (District and Club
DataBase) passed away on August 27, 2015, after a courageous battle
with cancer. He is survived by Connie his wife of 26 years.
Mike joined the Rotary Club of Warrenton in 1992. He was club
president in 1995-1996, Assistant Governor in 1999-2001, and District
Governor (District 7710) in 2003-2004. After District Governor, he served
on the Zone Executive Committee in 2004-2008, and was the Zone 33
Rotary Foundation Alumni Coordinator (2006-2009). Then in
2012, Mike also served as a Rotary International Training Leader (in San Diego) for all incoming
District Governors from all over the world. Mike was a Multiple Paul Harris Fellow, a benefactor, a
double sustaining member, a Major Donor, member of the Paul Harris Society and Bequest
Society, RLI Discussion Leader, and was twice named Rotarian of the Year by his club.
Donations may be made in Mike Thacker's name to the Warrenton Rotary Club Street Clock Fund
(PO Box 441, Warrenton, NC 27589).

Girl Scout Emilie Vitt who
earned her Gold Award.
Wendell Rotarians mix with students from Carver Elementary
School as they look through books donated to the school.
It’s a District Grant Two-fer!
Two-for-one deals aren’t always what they seem. But in at least one case, it worked out to be a
real win-win opportunity.
Last year, the Wendell Rotary Club won a District Simplified Grant to purchase books for local
school libraries and the library at Flemington Academy at the Boys & Girls
Home at Lake Waccamaw.
When a club member learned about a local Girl Scout who was looking
for a service project to complete the requirements for her Gold Award,
he took the girl’s quest to the club. A group of club members suggested
she take the books purchased with the help of the district grant and turn
them into audio books.
Zebulon Girl Scout Emilie Vitt took the idea from there, researching
copyright law and rounding up volunteers, fellow Girl Scouts, friends
and family to read the books aloud into recording devices. Those audio
recordings were presented to the schools along with the books,
expanding the grant’s program of work even beyond what had been
envisioned by Rotarians.
Last month, the Pines of the Carolinas Girl Scout Council announced
that Vitt had earned her Gold Award, which is equivalent to an Eagle in Boy
Scouting.
For the Wendell Rotary Club, it was a real two-fer. Not only was the club able to help students in
local schools, they were also able to help a local teenager accomplish one of the most challenging
personal goals any teen could set.
And in doing so, the club gained
exposure in the broader community.
The Girl Scout council announced the
partnership to local and regional media
and people in the Wendell and
Zebulon communities saw Rotary in
action as they learned about the club’s
role in helping a Girl Scout reach the
ultimate achievement in Scouting.
And, lest we forget the real purpose of
service, students at four schools not
only received new books, but audio
recordings of books that will help
beginning readers hone their skills
even more quickly. All thanks to a
District grant two-fer.

Local Peace Scholar Heading to Australia
By Leanne Simon
(Who is heading from North Carolina to Australia to study as a Rotary Peace Scholar)
It is early morning, and I am trying to get some internet research done before my children wake up
for school. My browser history has become increasingly narrower recently. Originally, I was content
with general searches like “Brisbane, Australia,” or “University of Queensland.” Now we are looking
at “rental rates in West End vs St. Lucia” and “cell phone providers.”
The initial wave of excitement has crested, and in its wake we find ourselves in the froth of panic
around how to move an entire life literally half a world away. The minor details are prodding at us-
demanding attention where we never knew it was needed. Conversations around who to leave my
son’s guinea pig with, where to find a good adaptor for all our electronics, is it proper to tip, and the
best shipping boxes to use dominate our dinner conversations. The concept of this is actually
happening has finally sunk in.
I have been in touch with the university guidance and Rotary host coordinator in Brisbane. They
are, as I have found all Rotarians to be, immensely supportive and helpful. Nick (the host
coordinator) has gone above and beyond to make sure that me and my family are prepared for the
move. From navigating the school systems to investigating apartment pricing, he has been a
complete darling. Dr. Curley, Director of the UQ Rotary Peace Center has been instrumental in
ensuring that we have everything I need prepared for entry to the university. Without them, we
would be lost.
Stateside, I have had such a swell of support and interest from Rotarians that I fear listing names,
lest I unintentionally leave someone out. From the club that nominated me and
interviewing/selection committees to those who surprise me by identifying as Rotarian in casual
conversation- the generous and kind spirit of Rotary has buoyed me in times of doubt.
To all of you that provide support to incoming fellows- here and abroad- I want to extend my
deepest gratitude. Host coordinators, families, and individuals can be a fellow’s lifeline. You are our
anchors, cultural liaisons, and friends.
Thank you all, too, for reading along with me as my family embarks on this crazy globe-spanning
adventure. My next post here will be January- mere days or weeks from departure. You can also
keep up with us at my new blog site Blox in Oz at bloxinoz.com.
In the meantime, I’ll be getting the house ready to rent, donating old toys and books, clearing out
space in storage, finding temporary shelter for the guinea pig, looking into school uniforms, finding
transit card reloading stations, buying electrical adaptors, feeling grateful, panicking (not panicking)
((okay panicking)), filling out paperwork….

Rotary Peace Fellow Shares Her Commitment to Peace
Vanessa Uriarte is a smart and committed Rotary Peace Fellow.
She believes strongly”in order to have peace we have to guarantee
the rights of everyone in the world.” A particular passion of hers is
advocating for children’s rights.
Vanessa is from Guadalajara, Mexico, where her parents and a
sister still reside. Vanessa often reflects on the amount of poverty
that exists in Mexico.
“Latin American Literature, swimming and running are my favorite
activities”, says Vanessa. She also indicates her “desire to be
involved with children.”
Vanessa has over five years of experience in Social Development, Fundraising and Advocacy for
children and youth from vulnerable communities in the Metropolitan Urban Area of Guadalajara.
Vanessa is studying at the Duke Sanford School in Durham for a Master in International
Development Policy. She is a member of the Rotary Peace Fellow Class Thirteen. A Peace Fellow
from Class Three provided an introduction for Vanessa to the Peace Fellow Program and
encouraged her to apply.
The summer of 2015 provided an opportunity for Applied Field Experience working in Honduras
with UNICEF in the education department where she consulted with students that were in and out
of school. She developed a statistical analysis of out of school adolescents living in vulnerable
social and economic circumstances. ”Honduras has the highest homicide rate in the world,” says
Vanessa. "It was a very rewarding experience to be in a country to study, analyze and learn." “My
commitment to advocate for children’s rights is stronger after this experience.”
In April 2016, Vanessa will present her Thesis, “How to Prevent Violence Against Children and
Youth in Mexico.”
Rotary Youth Leadership Award (RYLA)
The 2016 will be held April 15-17, 2016. This
leadership training retreat for high school juniors
will be held at Camp Oak Hill. Each club has
three reserved spaces held until November 30,
2015. Cost remains $300 per sponsored

Leaders Don't Create Followers.
They Create More Leaders
7710 - Your College of Governors
By Tim Mannix
Who are the College of Governors (COG) and what do they do?
Some of you may have asked that question, so I thought I’d give
you an answer. The COG is comprised of all the past district
governors who reside within our district and are currently members
of one of our district’s club. They could have served as our
(D7710) district governor or they could have been a DG of another
district. Currently we have 31 members of our committee.
The COG serve as an advisory group to the district governor, the clubs and district officials. The
president of the COG is a member of the district council.
Their responsibilities include promoting fellowship among Rotarians, encouraging attendance at
district activities, emphasize continuing education of Rotarians regarding changes in Rotary rules
and regulations, promote the history of Rotary, and provide assistance as requested by the district
governor.
The committee meets at least four times per year to keep up on the status of Rotary International
and the district, and to promote fellowship among the members.
For more information on the College of Governors email Tim Mannix at mannix710@earthlink.net
or call at 919-802-1750.

Global and District Grants Workshop
To comply with Rotary Foundation’s requirements, and to ensure we maintain a high standard of
financial stewardship when carrying out Global and District Grant projects, we will be conducting
two sessions on grant training this rotary year. The first will be on October 10, 2015 at the
Greenwood Baptist Church in Cary. Registration, a healthy breakfast spread and fellowship start at
8:30 am. Training starts at 9:00 am and will be over before noon. We will ask participants for a $5
donation to defray costs.
Presidents elect and one other club member need
to be qualified through this training. Please go to
the District website and find this session on the
District calendar and register.
The District Foundation Grants Committee looks
forward to seeing y'all there.
106th Rotary International Conference
By Tony Hopp
In June, I attended my first Rotary International Convention, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It showed me a
broader side of Rotary…people from all over the world with common goals and values, working
toward a common good. Building on the foundation that early Rotarians laid down, ever aware that
to build a local community, you have to develop a global community.
It gave me a chance to see what Rotary was capable of on an international scale, from global
health and clean water to education and conflict resolution. All of this, and more, is highlighted at
the annual convention.
I always look forward to seeing the world, cultivating new friendships, interacting with senior Rotary
leadership, learning about new programs/projects and enjoying the entertainment.
It also allowed me to develop my Rotary network,
building on existing relationships while also adding
new Rotarians to my ever growing sphere of influence.
My club has historically focused mainly on our local
community. However, over the past few years we
have built quite an international practice. After
attending this convention, I plan to push for even more
involvement in the international community.
Over the course of 4 days the convention has exposed
me to knowledge, fun and fellowship. Sao Paulo is a
great city full of culture and beauty, I highly
recommend the city to anyone who is interested in
South America, Brazil in particular.

Clean Water and Sanitation for Honduras Rural Villagers
By Carol Frey and Mark Wainwright
The Cary-Page club with its partners the Honduras Rotary Club of Danli and in District 7710, have
finished their project with the Nuestra Senora de Suyapa Parish in Nueva Palestina, Honduras.
And what a project it has been: the construction of 305 Biosand water filters and 59 latrines in this
remote part of Eastern Honduras. This equipment will promote clean drinking water and prevent
water-borne illnesses which take thousands of lives in Honduras every year.
Biosand filters use gravity to carry dirty water through
layers of biological material that kill pathogens, then
through sand and gravel to remove solids. Water then
trickles out of a pipe and into a container collecting
the potable water. These filters weigh about 400
pounds, which discourages theft over the 20 years
they work for families lacking access to public sources
of clean water. The filters were made by a company
(Fabrica de Filtros Bioarena) in Danli, and village
families constructed the latrines.
The District 7710 clubs of Southwest Durham, Wake
Forest, Holly Springs, Morrisville, Cary Central and
Cary-Page Clubs provided $40,250 for materials and
construction of the latrines.
Rotarians had a cooperating partner in St. Michael the Archangel Roman Catholic Church of Cary,
which has worked in Nuestra Senora de Suyapa Parish for decades to improve the health and
education of the villagers. St. Michael “health promoters” supervised the construction work. The
spark for this project was Mark Wainwright, a Cary Page member who shepherded the grant to
completion. The result? “Super heartwarming,” says Ricky Burn, one of the St. Michael team
leaders.
Pictured above on the left is an example of what one village family had before the project and,
right, the finished latrine.

Rose Parade
For the last 37 years, Rotarians
in Canada and the United States
have designed and built a float
for the Rose Parade, which is
viewed by over 83 million viewers
in 200 countries.
The 2016 float depicts a peaceful
yet whimsical garden as a nod to
the Rotary Peace Park, the
Waterton-Glacier International
Peace Park, Montana.
The majority of the float participants will
be Peace Scholars or individuals who have participated at a leadership level in the Rotary District
Peace Conferences.
All of the funding for the Rotary Rose Parade Float comes from Rotary clubs throughout North
America. Donations and more information even if you just pass the hat at meeting. Please visit
www.rotaryfloat.org for more information. No gift is too small but we hope you can be generous.
Be sure to look for the Rotary Float on New Year’s Day in the 2016 Rose Parade.

headed to Brazil that met for the first time in
September.
Vocational Training Team Selected
By Todd Taylor and Diana Tursi
In February 2016, a Vocational Training Team (VTT)
of 16 from District 7710 will travel to Brazil to study
Early Childhood Education in that country.
The team met for the first time on September 2, and
have organized themselves into sub-committees.
They have started research on the unique Brazilian
early childhood care programs and have reached out
to Brazilian Peace Scholars. The group is comprised
of Rotarian and non-Rotarian professionals in the
areas of early childhood education, health, and
advocacy. The goal is to melt the boundaries between
the professional disciplines, understand each other and determine how to best support each other
to make a difference in our local area. The team has started working with their Brazilian hosts to
ascertain the focus of the group and most importantly, the sustainable project that the group will
accomplish upon their return. The trip will be funded through a global grant. Your Rotary
Foundation Funds in action!

Rotary Clubs and BBB Partner to Bring Ethics Training & Scholarships to Schools
By Steve Fromme
What would you do at work if, in order to increase the
company's profit, you were instructed by your boss to provide
your customer with a lesser quality, lower priced product?
As a student-athlete whose performance is important to many,
even beyond the school community, would you accept test
answers given to you as a means of maintaining eligibility?
Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a
right to do and what is right to do.
Potter Stewart
These and other situations are explored in Better Business Bureau's ethics training program, "In
Pursuit of Ethics." Rotary clubs in District 7710 and the Better Business Bureau of Eastern NC are
teaming together in what can only be described as a win-win-win situation! East Chapel Hill Rotary
Club is the main sponsor of a District Grant designed to bring In Pursuit of Ethics to high schools in
the district. The Downtown Durham and Carrboro Sunrise clubs are also contributing to the project.
In Pursuit of Ethics (IPoE) is a video-based training program which depicts real life situations
leading to ethical dilemmas. At crucial junctures, the videos pause to allow discussion among the
viewers as to the dilemmas that have been presented, the possible reactions by the involved
characters, and the ramifications of those actions. The video can resume in various directions.
Audiences act as directors and select the path to be taken by the main character. Each video
module has several such decision points, creating a wide variety of possible outcomes. Attendees
find the program both informative and entertaining.
Ethics Check Questions
1. Is it legal?
2. Is it balanced?
3. How will it make me feel about myself?
Funds from the District Grant will enable BBB to provide IPoE free to schools. Additionally, BBB
Educational Foundation of Eastern NC, Inc. has created a fund that will provide scholarships to the
first ten schools adopting the program.
In Pursuit of Ethics teaches extremely important life skills. After hosting a group from the Boys and
Girls Home of North Carolina, their residential counselor wrote, "We had a great time, and loved
the videos and different scenarios. Also, the boys have been rattling off different scenarios of their
own and referencing back to the videos and our discussion. You really reached out to them. Thank
you so much."
Please help introduce your local school to this program contact Steve Fromme at
sfromme@raleigh.bbb.org or (919)277-4227.

How to use Public Image to Attract Younger Members
By Sung Paik
Many studies show that more than 70% of people will do their research of your club online through
your website and social media sites. This is increasingly higher for younger folks so it is essential
that your online presence reflects what interests them.
Combine this with the fact that there are a lot of competing interests and philanthropic groups that
are also looking to grow with younger members and competing to recruit them. So how do you
attract younger members into Rotary?
Public Image plays a very important part in helping prospective younger members to "see" if your
club is a fit for what they are looking for. They WILL want to see a demographic that reflects them
in age, diversity and fun. Make a great first impression by showing through pictures and promotion
of fun activities that all of these elements exist in your club. If there aren't any, then find a way to
get younger people in your pictures by including Rotaract and Interact members in your activities.
Here are some tips to incorporate:
 Promote "who" you want to attract by showing more young people in your pictures.
 Post growth (new member inductions) on all social media outlets (e.g. Twitter, Facebook)
 Have all members who are active on social media “like” your club’s Facebook page and “share”
the actual page
 Encourage all members to “share” or “retweet” your clubs page posts
 Take “Service Above Selfies” at club meetings or outings. This is a way to connect to the
millennial generation using their lingo.
 Have “after hours” social gatherings at age appropriate locations. (Breweries, Corn Hole
Tournaments, Music Festivals, Chamber or BNI networking events)
 Get the Millennial involved quickly! Whether it be a club committee or a district committee, they
want to make use of their time so put them to work!
 Some clubs may only have one or two Millennials. It is essential that they associate with peers
within Rotary to keep their interest high. Have them join the New Generation district committee
of under 40 year old Rotarians so they can meet and socialize with Rotarians their age that are
service minded also. Have them email us at newgenrotary@googlegroups.com
 Any fundraising events, outings, service projects or simply a get together with fellow Rotarians,
make sure to share the fun on social media!

What is Your Club’s Public Image?
Do you have a public relations plan to improve your public image? Do you have brochure to
promote your club? Are you taking advantage of social media with a club website, Facebook page,
and email newsletter? Are you planning a public event with media coverage? If you are planning or
doing these activities, your club can qualify for the 2015-16 Zone 33 Rotary Public Image Citation
and District 7710 recognition.
Why is public image of your club important? The more the public realizes what Rotary does, the
easier it is to get support for your fundraisers. The more the public knows about you club, the
easier it is to recruit new members. The more members you have, the more good your club can do.
See page 8 of the August 2015 District Newsletter for details of the Public Image Citation or
contact Jim Lovejoy, Public Image Chair, at jlovejoy@nc.rr.com or 919-608-0063.
RTP Receives Public Image Citation
The Research Triangle Park club was the first
club in Zone 33 to receive a Public Image
Citation. Andrew Kerr, club president, was
excited and proud that the club received this
designation so early in the year.
The two required components is to complete a
club public relations plan and create or update
a club brochure. Andrew indicated that using
the online brochure creator as part of Rotary
Brand Central was really easy.
Last year, only eight clubs in the district received a public image citation. In order for a club to
receive this year's Governor's Club Award one of the components is to obtain their public image
citation.
Congratulations to the RTP club.
Crabtree Rotary Changes Location
The Crabtree club has changed its meeting location to Brio Tuscan
Grille, which is part of the Crabtree Valley Mall.

Who Dares Eating Fermented Herring?
By Barry Phillips
Not all Swedes are prepared to hold their noses (literally) to get a taste of the delicacy of small
herrings that have been canned and left for a year or two to ‘ferment”, But some of the Rotary
Friendship Exchange (RFE) tried it and (with the help of some generous pourings of
aquavit/schnapps) survived to tell the tale.
Ten travelers representing six District
7710 clubs have just returned from the
Exchange Trip to District 2350
(Stockholm and Uppsala, Sweden)
where their hosts arranged for a
wonderfully stimulating range of visits,
both cultural and educational – but
above all fun.
Along the way banners from Cary Page,
Cary MacGregor, Henderson,
Hillsborough, and Wakeforest Rotary
Clubs were exchanged with four local clubs.
Raleigh Mid-Town was not left out, indeed Carole Meshot’s description of the new club and its
innovative meeting times and procedures invited plenty of questions from the Swedish Rotarians.
Some of the highlights were touring the Swedish parliament with a local MP, visiting Stockholm’s
City Hall where the annual Nobel Prize Dinner takes place, Museums, Coin collections, and visiting
a massive wooden warship that sank on its maiden voyage in 1628 but is now recovered and
encased in a purpose-built museum. (http://www.vasamuseet.se/en/The-Ship/)
Some members also visited the ABBA museum and a wonderful collection of traditional farm
buildings and homes that have been moved to Stockholm from all parts of Sweden.
Stockholm is built on 14 islands so it was
appropriate that our first activity was to take an
extended tour of these by a “hop/on hop/off”
boat. We also did a “hop/on hop/off “bus tour.
As a transition from Stockholm to Uppsala the
team and several local Rotarians took a 24-
hour boat trip through the Swedish archipelago
to Mariehamn a port on Åland Finland. While
on this extended voyage we held a “mini
conference” which was a great way to share
information about our clubs and districts.
Uppsala proved to be a wonderful capstone to our experience. The site of a magnificent cathedral
and castle, it is home to the oldest university in Scandinavia (founded 1477) and is the location of
one of Rotary’s six Peace centers. We visited the Peace center as well as a Peace museum.

23. 23
We used public transport (rail, trolley, bus) and did a lot of walking –and we only had one day of
intermittent rain during the whole trip!!
The team came back with multiple memories and new friends as everyone was accommodated in
homes of local Rotarians. Plans are already being made to host a Swedish RFE contingent,
probably in May 2016 and, hopefully, more RFE opportunities to other district can be explored for
future years.
The District 7710 Rotary Friendship Exchange group going to Sweden were: Larry Kingsley, Cary MacGregor;
Georgeanne Kingsley; Carole Meshot, Raleigh Midtown; Cecilia Vernier, Rotary Sweden host and organizer; Barry
Phillips, Hillsborough; Diana Phillips, Hillsborough; Brenda Johnson; Hut Wester, Henderson; Liz Labelle, Cary Page;
Jean McCamy; and Bob McCamy, Wakeforest.
So, What are Some of Your Hobbies?
By Tony Hopp
My top three are: boating, flying and astronomy. There are groups of Rotarians that are in
Fellowships that represent two of my main hobbies, and, I plan to make it three.
I have been a Rotarian for over two years, and it wasn’t until I attended the Rotary International
Conference in Brazil that I even knew that Rotary Fellowships existed.
What are Rotary Fellowships; they are basically hobby clubs. The only real requirement to join is
an interest in a hobby and of course, you have to be a Rotarian.
I am a proud new member of the Flying Fellowship, I am in the process of joining the Yachting
Fellowship, and, if I have my way, I am going to spearhead a new Astronomy Fellowship.
So, what are some of your hobbies?

Rotaract is Alive and Well in District 7710
By Boyd Bennett
We currently have three chartered Rotaract clubs in our District. The Rotaract club of Raleigh is
sponsored by the Raleigh Rotary club. The NC State Rotaract club is sponsored by the West
Raleigh Rotary club. The Durham Rotary club and the North Durham Rotary club jointly sponsor
the Durham Rotaract club, the newest Rotaract club in our
District.
The exciting news for 2015 is that the Johnston
Community College Rotaract club is in the process of
getting re-chartered. This club has been active and we
expect great things from them for 2015-2016. The
Johnston Community College Rotaract club is sponsored
by the Central Johnston County Rotary club. Another
exciting development is that a workgroup is being
established to start a Rotaract club at UNC-CH. Students
have come forth who wish to be involved in this effort and
with the assistance of the Chapel Hill Rotary club and the
Chapel Hill-Carrboro Sunrise clubs it is hoped we can get
this club up and running in the coming months.
What does it take to start a Rotaract club?
 Find potential members, adults ages 18-30
 Invite prospective members to an informational meeting
 Take a vote to see if there is enough interest and commitment to establish a Rotaract club.
 Set a date for the first organizational meeting
 Complete organizational paperwork, which is very simple
 The sponsoring Rotary club normally pays the $50.00 organization fee
 Send the Rotaract Club Certification Form and fee to RI World Headquarters
 Plan an organizational ceremony
If you have questions or have an interest in sponsoring a Rotaract club, contact Boyd Bennett at
jbbennett01@earthlink.net or Cody Williams at cnwillia@gmail.com .
