The document discusses the benefits of Rotary membership, emphasizing the transformative experiences, or 'Rotary moments', that members gain through service and fellowship. It encourages current Rotarians to invite respected individuals to join, thereby expanding the organization's impact in communities. Additionally, it highlights various initiatives, programs, and upcoming events within Rotary, including ethical practices, membership recruitment efforts, and educational opportunities.

Give the Gift of Membership
Membership in Rotary is most rewarding when we engage with our fellow
Rotarians in service. Service to others creates opportunities for us to build
lasting relationships and experience those moments that transform our
lives in ways we don’t anticipate. We call these moments “Rotary
Moments.” These moments reflect a highly memorable experience that
impacts us so greatly that they transform us from simply being a member
of a Rotary club to becoming a Rotarian.
Rotarians remember these transformative experiences always and these
“Rotary Moments” drive our desire to do good in our communities and
around the world. The wonderful thing about Rotary is that another
Rotarian invited you to be a member of this worldwide fellowship. Another
Rotarian gave you the opportunity to join with other leaders, exchange
ideas that promote change, and take actions that transform the world.
Another Rotarian admired your desire to serve and gave you the opportunity to create your own Rotary
Moments.
When we invite people we respect and admire to become Rotarians, we give them the opportunity to be a
part of the global fellowship that is Rotary. We bring together the kind of people whose sense of responsibility
inspires them to give back to our community; who step forward to tackle the toughest challenges -- and
persevere to create lasting change in our community and around the world.
As I have visited Rotary clubs across our district, I have had the opportunity to install new members. During
my visit with the Rotary Club of Research Triangle Park, I had the privilege of inducting Rotarian Ozke Kuddar.
Ozke is a young lady from Turkey, who recently relocated to the Triangle. As part of her induction ceremony,
I said to her “No one is eligible to become a Rotarian unless, in her business or professional life, she
endeavors to practice the principles of goodwill and service.”
With new members, we not only increase our usefulness and influence as a club, but also extend the spirit
of Rotary throughout the community. I encourage you to identify those individuals in your life, whom you

respect and admire, and give them the opportunity to join you in service. Share with them the gift that was
given to you by another Rotarian. Share with them the opportunity to experience their own Rotary Moments,
to be agents of change, and to be a part of something special.
Invite your friends to join Rotary.

Ethics and Rotary - A Perfect Match
By Steven Nelson
Ethics is hard to describe and even harder to implement, especially in
business. Paul Harris, founder of Rotary, believed nothing changed until
people got tired of the status quo. According to Harris, ‘ethics in
businesses was an oxymoron in Chicago of the early 1900s. Chicago
was like the Wild West.
Rotary began with the idea to bring businessmen together to socialize
and network, but it was so much more. In order to facilitate an
environment of trust, ethics became a focus of the group. Harris
gravitated to Frederick Sheldon whose influence on Rotary in the early
days set a standard of excellence and spawned one of the first Rotary
mottos, “He profits most who serves best.” In his book, This Rotarian
Age, Harris celebrates Sheldon:
Sheldon arrived in the time heretofore described as Chicago’s zero hour. The chaotic condition in
business affairs impressed him deeply. Frequently, it seemed that virtue was without reward; that
one’s chances of business success depended upon his willingness to be ruthlessly aggressive and
even dishonest if need be. Sheldon valued honor above material gain and revolted against the
salesmanship methods he was expected by his employers to use. One day his disgust was so
overwhelming that he cast his outfit into a convenient gutter and sent his resignation to the house.
(Paul Harris, This Rotarian Age, page 95)
Today, ethics are just as important, but it is often overlooked and rarely taught at our universities. The news
is fraught with stories where ethical behavior was absent. This is the time in our world history where Rotarians
should shine with our focus on ethical and honest business practices.
Without ethics, Rotary is just a social club that does community service. The Luther H. Hodges committee
has challenged each club to devote at least one club meeting to ethics, whether it is the main focus or an
ancillary offshoot of the program.
Remember, the community sees Rotary through your example…what are you telling it?

August is Membership Month
By Leigh Hudson
Congratulations, and special thanks, to all who attracted and worked to
retain new members last year. Preliminary figures from Rotary International
show a net gain of around 90 members for District 7710. This 5% gain is
extraordinary considering membership in North America has been falling at a
rate of nearly 15% for many years.
Rotary International designates August as Membership Month, which seems odd
considering most people are busy working in last minute vacations and/or
preparing for school to begin. I'm going to assume they want us to be organizing
our club membership committees for the best possible results once prime
recruiting season comes around in the Fall. So let's get a few of our most
engaging members to lead our clubs to another year of significant growth.
My role at the District is to help clubs with ways to recruit and retain members. Contact me, Leigh Hudson,
at lhudson@hudsonshardware.com or 919-427-0765.
Presidential Citation
The Rotary International Presidential Citation for the 2015-16 Rotary year is an excellent tool to measure
your club’s achievements for the year. Rotary International President Ravi has selected goals that, if
achieved, would be measurable and make Rotary demonstrably stronger, more effective at delivering service,
and more widely known and respected by the general public.
To improve our capacity to accurately measure our goals, Rotary International has enhanced the tools we
use to gather and analyze data. These improvements will allow all levels of Rotary leadership to measure
and assess their respective performance.
Thanks to these resources, Rotary International has created a paperless process that replaces the forms and
reports clubs were required to submit in the past. Instead, all club achievements will be verified with the
information clubs provide in Club Central.
To qualify for the Presidential Citation, your clubs must complete two mandatory activities and additional
activities as described in each category. Some activities will be verified by the information you enter in Rotary
Club Central. Other activities will be verified automatically when you initiate a specific action.
Unless otherwise specified, all activities must be completed between July 1, 2015 and April 1, 2016.
Club presidents should regularly check your club’s progress using the online progress tool and verify the
accuracy of Rotary International’s data. Any discrepancies should be reported to Rotary International
immediately so they can be resolved before the deadline.
Clubs who achieve the Rotary International Presidential Citation will receive one star towards the
achievement of the District 7710 Governor’s Club Award.

4 Way Test Essay Contest
By Martin Tetreault
The Four-Way Test Essay Contest is coming! The essay contest is open to 7th and 8th graders who submit
essays in local contests hosted by each Rotary Club. The deadline for entries to the local contest is December
7, 2015, so there is plenty of time for your club to arrange a contest and collect submissions. Once a winner
of the local contest is selected, the winner represents the club at the District competition. Winners are
announced at the end of January.
The rules are fairly simple. Essays are limited to 300 words, and must not have been previously submitted to
any other contest. The topic is simply “What do you think about the 4-Way Test?” That’s pretty much it.
This is an easy way for each club to participate at the district level with minimal time commitment. Presidents
just need to identify a chairperson who visits the local middle school. Find a contact person and launch your
contest!
On the district website, http://rotary7710.org/programs/four-way-test-contest/ we have all the materials that
you will need, including flyers for the school and PowerPoint presentation on the 4-Way Test. Contact Martin
Tetreault at (919) 631-9847 or martin@smithfieldlaw.com if you have any questions.

Use Life Insurance to Benefit Rotary
Life insurance can be a great way to
make a generous gift to charity. Many
people have policies that are no longer
needed to provide for loved ones. They
may not think of these policies as
assets available for charitable giving.
What could be simpler than naming
The Rotary Foundation as the
beneficiary of an insurance policy?
Encourage Rotarians you know to
consider turning an unneeded policy
into a gift that helps secure the future of
The Rotary Foundation.
Like most charities, Rotary has a Gift
Acceptance Policy that covers
insurance gifts. Here is a summary for
your quick and easy reference:
 Anyone can name The Rotary Foundation as the beneficiary of any life insurance policy, at any age, for
any amount. The gift might not qualify for recognition or tax benefits, but the proceeds will ultimately
support the many important activities of the Foundation, such as clean water or peace studies.
 To be recognized as a Benefactor or Bequest Society membership a person can name The Rotary
Foundation as a primary beneficiary of an insurance policy other than a term life policy. Due to the short-
term nature of term policies and the uncertainty of contingencies, Rotary does not provide Benefactor or
Bequest Society recognition for term or contingent policies.
 Rotary can accept ownership of an insurance policy if The Rotary Foundation is named as sole
beneficiary and the insured is within 15 years of actuarially calculated life expectancy. The Trustees set
this policy based upon a cost-benefit analysis, taking into account the cost of administration and other
reporting requirements. If approved and otherwise qualified, the donor is recognized with Major
Donor recognition and may receive some tax benefits.
 The Rotary Foundation does not actively promote the purchase of new insurance policies for the purpose
of making a gift to Rotary; however, The Rotary Foundation staff are available anytime to discuss the
donor’s objectives.
Please contact Barry Philips, District Foundation Chair at barryphillips1314@gmail.com or 919-643-2451 for
information on charitable donations.

Get Your Club Involved in the District Global Scholarship Program
By Bob Melone
The Rotary Ambassadorial Scholarship program was founded in 1947 by The
Rotary Foundation. The program was ended in 2013 after supporting nearly 38,000
men and women. District Governor Aguiar has expressed interest in making a
scholarship available in the 2017-18 academic year under a new program known
as the Global Scholarship.
The purpose of the Global Scholarship program is to further international understanding and peaceful
relations among people of different cultures and races, while pursuing a graduate program of study at an
institution of higher education in a foreign country.
The scholarship for $30,000 is to cover tuition, books, travel, and living expenses. Priority will be given to a
student focusing on one of Rotary's six areas of focus.
The deadline for submitting a Global Scholarship application to a local club is April 30, 2016 for the 2017-18
academic year. Completed applications must initially be submitted to the club president of a local Rotary club
for review and possible approval. The District Scholarship Committee will interview all recommended
candidates on August 8, 2016.
You can contact District Chair, Bob Melone at papananmel@aol.com to get more information

Finding an Inner Peace
By Kailash Patel
The path that brought me to Apex, NC is a wandering and multicultural journey. I
consider myself an international nomad. While I am of Indian descent, I was born
and raised in Zambia, South Central Africa. I also lived in England to pursue further
education. I have been exposed to many cultures and beliefs, Eastern and
Western, first world and third world.
As a child, my primary influence was growing up in a Hindu family that followed most of the traditions of my
Indian heritage. Yoga, meditation, and chanting became part of my daily rituals. As children, we attend church
and engage in religious practices without realizing the deeper spiritual meaning until much later. It was not
until I moved to the U.S. that my deep desire for meditation and finding myself accelerated.
I started becoming aware of a higher reality when I read "The Autobiography of Yogi" by Paramahansa
Yogananda. I started practicing the teachings from the Kriya Yoga Center (www.kriya.org), and began having
glimpses of an inner peace. My Guru would say that an ounce of practice is worth more than thousands of
theoretical scripture knowledge. He constantly reminds me that, for a genuine and everlasting transformation,
the tool required is a systematic method of self-discipline, since mere philosophy and intellectual knowledge
are not enough. Rather, we must apply theoretical knowledge in daily life through practice.
While there are numerous benefits of Yoga and meditation. This article will focus on to how yoga helped me
in finding peace, both inner and outer, and in recognizing the oneness. Yoga is not just about physical
flexibility, but also about mental, emotional, and spiritual flexibility. Through Yoga, inner beliefs also become
flexible, one can learn to accept and respect all, and to hold no hatred against anyone, but instead have love
for all.
Yoga means one, oneness, togetherness, united and an inner desire to serve others. The reason there are
problems in the world is that we think in duality. We think the other person is different from us. Yoga helps
one break these barriers and boundaries, so that as you love yourself you also love other people. There is
no “other” person after one experiences the oneness of Yoga, No separateness, No differences. This kind of
unity can bring us together, and keep us together; this is the unity that the world needs today. The world does
not need more pieces; the world needs more peace.
The illusion of duality has led us to forget that PEACE is our birthright. Yoga can give one the vision and
wisdom to lead a happy, harmonious life as it can help one to become their perfect self. We lose that
harmonious life, that perfect self, if even one day is spent in agitation, anger, and war. If there is peace in our
hearts and minds, then we will experience peace outside of ourselves and recognize the beauty in God’s
creation. In fact, if we cultivate peace within, then we will see the beauty in everything.
This is the true potential of yoga. One day, people will start, not just doing
Yoga, but living Yoga. We need not wait for heaven. Heaven will come
and hug us when we become healthy, happy people with harmonious,
loving hearts. Yoga is sharing. Yoga is caring. Yoga is loving. Yoga is
giving that spirit that can keep us together in peace. These common but
most important threads that bound Yoga and Rotary together.

District 7710 Hosts Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Fellows-Class 14
By Randy Fraser
Rotary Peace Fellows have arrived for Class 14 at Duke-UNC. Randy Fraser, Rotary Club of Raleigh, and
his wife Pam and additional District 7710 Rotarians are once again serving as host counselors for incoming
Peace Fellows.
The Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center selects Rotary Peace fellows based on their ability to have a significant,
positive impact on world peace and conflict resolution during their future careers.
Ignacio Asis arrived from Argentina at
Raleigh Durham International airport on
Monday, August 3. He has a Bachelor’s
degree in International Relations from the
Universidad Catolica Argentina, a Post-
graduate degree in Negotiation and has
taken several courses in Conflict Transformation and Peace
Building. He will be studying primarily at Duke University.
Following his arrival, Ignacio was introduced to the Rotary Club
of Raleigh and was warmly welcomed by club members.
Ignacio has received transition assistance to the Durham and Raleigh area from Randy and Pam. In addition,
he has been receiving terrific encouragement, support and guidance from Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center
Managing Director Susan Carroll, the staff, and counselors at Duke University.
Ignacio enjoyed a special opportunity to meet with Pransia Ekachote from Thailand, a recent graduate from
class 12, to review and discuss her experience as a Peace Fellow. This was one of many opportunities for
Ignacio for interaction and learning among current and graduated Peace Fellows.

Downtown Durham Rotary Launches Innovation Fellowship
By Christopher Gergen
In July, the Downtown Durham Rotary Club
welcomed its inaugural class of three Rotary
Innovation Fellows.
This pioneering initiative is designed to provide
an exceptional leadership development
experience for emerging innovators in the
Durham community striving to make
measurable, sustainable, and scalable impacts
in their respective fields. It is also an opportunity
to emphasize the concept of “inclusive
innovation” – welcoming leaders from diverse
backgrounds and neighborhoods into the Rotary
community and the broader Durham leadership
network.
Each year, up to three Rotary Innovation Fellows will be selected from the community for an 18-month
fellowship. Fellows will represent innovative leaders within the public, non-profit, business, academic and
philanthropic sectors – with a focus on diversity and inclusivity.
As fellow Rotarian and founder of the effort Christopher Gergen says, “The Fellowship is a way to connect
Rotary to the burgeoning entrepreneurial economy in Durham and to leverage Rotary’s extraordinary network
to the benefit of all concerned.”
As fully inducted Rotarians, Fellows participate in all Rotary events and get structured mentorship from select
Rotarians to advance a leadership project they each agree to undertake. They are also counseled by an
Advisory Board, including former Durham Rotary presidents Vandana Dake and Guy Solie as well as current
president Lois Deloatch, to help them deepen their networks and impact.
Fellows pay a nominal fee of $100/year to support the initiative and demonstrate their own commitment to
this work – the rest is covered through scholarship dollars raised by the club. Upon completing the 18-month
fellowship, Rotary Innovation Fellows will be asked to join Rotary as full-fledged members. Ongoing alumni
gatherings of past and current fellows are also envisioned.
The inaugural fellowship class includes: Emily Egge, Executive Director of SEEDS, Geraud Staton, CEO of
Helius, and Nick Allen, Community Coordinator for the City of Durham. Profiles of each fellow will be included
in future newsletters.
Contact Christopher Gergen at Christopher@forwardimpact.info for more information about the fellowship.

Alzheimer's Video developed by Apex Sunrise and Cary MacGregor
The two clubs recently released a 25 minute video provides an insight into Alzheimer's disease. The video
starts with an introduction by Alice Watkins, Executive Director of Alzheimer's NC. She provides the
background of the organization and its relationship with Rotary. She also provides an excellent summary of
C.A.R.T.'s role in providing funding for Alzheimer's research.
The video includes excerpts from Accepting the Challenge, an Alznc
production that provides a "hands on", multi-disciplinary training
program designed to assist professional caregivers in providing the best
possible care to their patients.
Dr. Len Lecci, UNCW Professor of Psychology and Director of Clinical Services then explains about the
different types of dementia and outlines the goals in treating Alzheimer’s. Dr. Lecci outlines the future trends
in treating the disease.
The video is a great tool to encourage donations to the CART Fund. You can find the video by going to the

Get Your Backstage Pass to the District Workshop on How it Works
By Rusine Mitchell Sinclair
Are you the type of person that likes to understand what goes on behind the scenes? Do you have a
Professional Sports Fantasy Camp on your bucket list or maybe you long to be a fly on the wall when the
Supreme Court retires to conference after oral arguments on a high profile case? Both of these may have to
stay on your bucket list for now. But you can get the inside scoop on the workings of Rotary District 7710.
As part of the Foundation Workshop, Sat. September 12 2015, we will hold a one-hour Leadership Workshop
on how the District operates. We will explore the District’s role as a conduit between the clubs and both
Rotary International and the Rotary Foundation. In this role, the District offers Rotarians service opportunities
that help build leadership skills and the chance to network with Rotarians from many different clubs within
our District. You will also get a chance to ask District leaders questions in the small group breakouts during
the Leadership Workshop. Whether you have been a Rotarian for over twenty years or just a few months,
you will broaden your understanding of Rotary beyond your Club by attending.
There is no special registration required, just sign-up for the Foundation Workshop at
Foundation Workshop - Sept 12, 2015
Contact Rusine Mitchell Sinclair at rusinesinclair@gmail.com if you have any questions.

This event only includes Step 1 of the three-step training program. The date for the
event is October 10, 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM, with lunch and breaks included.
**This event requires a minimum of 12 participants to secure the date. Please
register on the DACdb Events Calendar as soon as you make the decision to
participate.
What are the teaching methods? The Rotary Leadership Institute believes in course sessions with as much
discussion/ participation as possible. Course methods include discussion groups, role-playing, and problem
solving workshops. Everyone participates during one of the Institute’s sessions.
Who are the faculty? The Rotary Leadership Institute for their teaching abilities carefully selects the faculty
members. They are drawn from all areas of the member districts and occasionally from outside the member
districts. Many are present and past district governors, successful past presidents and those with experience
in special areas.
What are the costs? The cost is $95 per Rotarian. The fees cover lunch, coffee breaks, and course
materials.
Should our club participate? This is an outstanding opportunity for each club to improve the Rotary
knowledge of its members and future leaders, who will also be exposed to new ideas of leadership.
Participation in this training course will allow Rotarians the opportunity to take Step 2 in Cary on January 9.
The Rotary Leadership Institute recommends that clubs nominate those Rotarians who appear to have the
potential for club leadership, not necessarily as future presidents. Candidates should have a strong interest
in Rotary and be ready to be exposed to the larger world of Rotary. Please contact Joyce McKinney with
any questions jcmckinn@gmail.com.

VTT Brazil Update
By Todd Taylor
The Vocational Training Team heading to Brazil focusing on Early
Childhood Education is beginning to take shape. We had a tremendous
response to the call for applications and the team has been
overwhelmed at the quality of the candidates. The selection process
continues with interviews to be conducted in the next few weeks. Once the team is selected, the heavy lifting
will begin in earnest as the whole team will congeal and determine what they would like to present and learn
from our Brazilian partners in District 4510. This VTT is the vision of Immediate Past District Governor
Matthew Kane and current District Governor Newman Aguiar. The team is scheduled to depart for Brazil in
Feb 2016 and will tour four cities in 15 days. Look for more announcements as the team takes shape.

Take a Kid to a Ballgame
Over 400 young people from under-privileged families had a wonderful memorable time at a Durham Bulls
game. They were accompanied by 130 Rotarians and their families from across the district. Thanks to Greg
Leighton and the Morrisville club for coordinating the event that left such a positive impression of Rotary with
so many youth.
At the Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) workshop, Don Duckworth, one of the trainers, talked about the
Rotary Moment when he really understood what Rotary was all about.
Sakuji Tanaka, Rotary International Past President, in 2012 wrote in his blog, “Every Rotarian is different.
Every Rotarian was drawn into Rotary for different reasons, and many vividly remember their first Rotary
Moment – the moment when they went from being members of their Rotary clubs to being committed
Rotarians.”

How to Recruit New Generations Into Rotary
By Sung Paik
The recruitment of new members, especially younger individuals, can be challenging, as current members
are limited to the same professional and social circles. Clubs need to think out of the box for different ways
to attract potential younger members.
Effective recruiting of new generations involves all aspects of the club from public image, culture, services,
social activity, and operations. Imagine you operate a business that targets the younger demographic. There
are certain things that target market will find appealing in your club.
Target market analysis and suggestions for attracting the younger demographic:
 Recognize that there are numerous competing priorities for them. From doing nothing or spending extra
time on leisure to joining a charity event once a year, like a 5k fun run for charity. They will need
compelling reasons to fully join Rotary with its time commitment.
 They really appreciate the professional experience and guidance from more seasoned members. This
tremendous positive should be leveraged more. Establish professional networking events in your club
and with other clubs so that they may see this as a positive for joining.
 Meaningful community service is in their hearts. Show that through Rotary, their impact will have a long
lasting and enduring impact versus just engaging in opportunistic and sporadic community service
events.
 “Birds of a feather flock together”. Younger people want to have fun with a diverse group of people that
reflect their demographics. If your club doesn’t have that many younger members, encourage and
facilitate younger members of various clubs to get together to socialize and partner on service projects.
 They WILL look at your website and social media early in their research. For public image, make sure
these assets reflect a fun, vibrant and youthful mix as much as possible.
 Interact and Rotaract are a great way to develop a “ladder system” of potential new members. By their
nature, Interact and Rotaract have younger people. Seriously consider starting them, commit to staying
involved, and support them. When they graduate out of Interact and Rotarct, they will naturally continue
as a full-fledged Rotarian.
 Economics for the younger age group weighs heavily on their decision to join. Consider a scholarship
program that reduces their first year dues.
 “Try before you buy” into Rotary. Collaborate with other professional associations, community-based
organizations, and networking organizations. These groups need speakers too, so go and present about
Rotary to them. Invite them to participate in service projects as a non-member. Doing this will allow them
to get a feel for Rotary and consider joining.

Youth Protection Is Serious Business
By Johnny Whitfield
As Rotarians, we provide many wonderful opportunities for young people
from our communities and around the world.
While those activities are fun, taking care of those children is serious
business. Whether it’s Take a Kid to a Ball Game, Rotary Youth Leadership
Award, Youth Exchange, or any of the other myriad programs we work with,
it’s important that we are attentive to the safety and protection of our wards.
District 7710 has a Youth Protection policy that outlines the steps we should take to ensure the safety of
children in our care as well as how we should react in the event of an incident.
Rotarians are encouraged to consider the safety of our children and include steps to ensure that safety during
an event. As you might imagine, common sense rules the day. Reviewing the district’s Youth Protection
Policy is also a great way to start.
Anyone interested in reviewing the document can contact Rotarian Johnny Whitfield at 919-812-4086 or
jwhitfield@newsobserver.com to review the policy.
District 7710’s Annual GlobalRun4 Water
On September 27, 2015, Rotary District 7710 will hold its Fourth Annual
GlobalRun4Water to help raise money for water and sanitation projects.
District Rotarians work hard every year planning this fundraiser because
we believe that water is key to the world’s future peace and prosperity.
We promote and run this race to highlight the unique value of clean
water in the world. Monies raised are used to help fund projects that
provide sustainable solutions for the development of clean water
systems and adequate sanitation facilities for those in dire need.
George “The Waterman” Lewis has graciously agreed to donate a painting
again this year to help augment our fundraising efforts. George Lewis
paints and sells his work to support Rotary’s water projects around the
world. Each ticket costs $20. There are only 100 tickets so get yours soon.
Please join us by sponsoring the event; recruiting sponsors, runners and
walkers; or taking part as a volunteer, runner, or walker.

Making Charitable Distribution From IRA Has Benefits
By Holly Nicholson
This article will have relevance to some Rotarians interested in an opportunity to
support The Rotary Foundation, especially by donating to the Rotary Foundation
Endowment Fund.
The opportunity to make a charitable deduction from an Individual Retirement
Account (IRA) and have it count toward your required minimum distribution (RMD) was extended late last
year but expired for 2015. The House has passed the America Gives More Act of 2015, which permanently
restores what is called a qualified charitable distribution (QCD). The Senate has not passed this so we are
still in limbo as to QCDs fir 2015.
What you could do is make a distribution from your IRA to a qualified charity. This way if the QCD rules are
reinstated, you’re all set. If they aren’t reinstated you just claim the amount as income and then report the
donation as an itemized deduction. You’ll have a taxable distribution and a tax-deductible contribution. As
explained below this may not be as advantageous as a QCD but if you were going to donate to charity anyway
it doesn’t matter.
The following will be of interest for those not familiar with the QCD rules. The QCD must be a transfer directly
from an IRA to a qualified charity. The QCD will be excluded from your taxable income. If you take an IRA
distribution and subsequently write a check to the charity, the distribution will be included in your taxable
income even if the amounts distributed and donated are the same. With a QCD, you won’t get a tax deduction
on the amount donated but you won’t claim that amount as taxable income. Only IRA owners who have
attained age 70 1/2 are permitted to make QCDs and the amount is limited to a maximum of $100,000.
One reason QCDs are better than normal RMDs is that normal RMDs increase adjusted gross income (AGI)
which may cause the loss of some tax benefits such as reduction of itemized deductions, reduction of passive
loss deductions, increased Medicare premiums and causing a greater portion of Security benefits to be taxed.
By making a QCD, AGI is not increased and some of these tax benefits may not be lost.
A wise man told me another reason he prefers the QCD method of making a donation. For some reason he
gives more when it goes directly from his IRA. That may be the inspiration behind the name the House gave
to the “America Gives More Act of 2015”
 The first Rotaract Club in the world was formed in Charlotte, NC.
 The first Rotary convention was held in Chicago in 1910.
 The first Rotary club outside of the United States was chartered in Winnipeg, Canada in 1910.
 The first non-English Rotary Club was formed in Havana, Cuba in 1916.

Peace Fellow’s Visit
By Carol Frey
On her second day in the U.S., Barbara Santibañez received
a generous helping of information about the workings of
Rotary International. Though Rotary brought Barbara to
study conflict resolution at UNC-Chapel Hill, Barbara was
surprised to learn about all the club does for disadvantaged
children in our town through Read-and-Feed and the support
we provide families with gravely ill relatives through the
Ronald McDonald House. She came to us from Chile where
she grew up and went to undergraduate school, but most
recently from Paris where she works for a global education
initiative. Our club president, Liz LaBelle, presented a “Be a
Gift to the World” pin to Barbara as she has been and
continues to be.
