District Governor
Governor's Message
As Rotarians, we believe peace is possible. To promote peace, one of the
most tangible steps taken by The Rotary Foundation of Rotary
International was the creation of the Rotary Centers for International
Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution. The purpose of the Rotary
Peace Centers is to develop leaders who are catalysts for peace and
conflict resolution in their communities and around the globe, through
academic training, study, and practice. Each year up to 100 Rotary Peace
Fellows are chosen to participate in a master’s degree or certificate
program at one of Rotary’s partner universities.
The only Rotary Peace Center in North America is
located in North Carolina, in District 7710, a
collaboration between Duke University and The
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Established in 1793, The University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill was the first public university
in the United States. Duke University is a leading
private university and center for learning and
research. The joint Duke-UNC Rotary Peace Center
takes advantage of the best faculty, courses,
resources and technology that each university offers
to train peace builders. Unlike other scholarship
recipients, Rotary Peace Fellows benefit from the
support of local Rotarians who serve as host
families to the visiting scholars.
Each year, the graduating fellows present their research on a wide range of issues affecting peace
around the world. The 13th Annual Rotary Spring Conference will take place at the FedEx Global
Education Center on UNC-Chapel Hill’s campus, on April 9 from 8.30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The theme
this year is “Peace and Development: Multidisciplinary Approaches to Achieving the Sustainable
February 2016

2. 2
Development Goals.” Register for the Spring Conference and be inspired by how these peace
builders are forging a path to sustainable peace.
Do you know of any bright young professionals in your community who are dedicated to the pursuit
of peace? Encourage them to apply now for the Rotary Peace Fellowship for the 2017-18 academic
year. Applications are being accepted now and candidates have until May 2, 2016 to submit
applications to the District. Candidates must have a strong commitment to international
understanding and peace as demonstrated through their professional and academic achievements
and personal or community service. Give them the opportunity to join the legion of trained peace
builders that Rotary is developing to make peace possible.

District Reports
A Picture Says a Thousand Words
By Ed Shearin
This project was designed to improve the visual and
written literacy of 5th grade students and provided
funds for teacher selected classroom school supplies
at Morrisville’s two elementary schools. Each school
received 10 cameras and cases. Pairs of students in
each 5th grade classroom shot a digital pictures
depicting “Service Above Self” and created a display.
With the picture they wrote a story explaining how
their picture depicted “Service Above Self”. The
Morrisville Rotary District Grant Committee and a
professional photographer judged selected the top
winners.
The teachers received gift cards to purchase school
supplies. At one school they purchased dictionaries
and microscopes. At the other school they purchased
sound bars for the in-room televisions and computer
tablet stands.
The grant instilled within the next generation an idea
of “Service above Self” and hopefully creates a
lifetime fondness for Rotary ideals.
Rotary Scholarship
"For me, the Rotary Scholarship is much more than being given an
opportunity to study abroad; it is a chance to explore, reflect,
critically examine and arrive at how I can best be of service to
myself, my community and my country."
Adwoa K. Buahene, Rotary Scholar
The Rotary Foundation's oldest and best known program was known as
the Ambassadorial Scholarship program, established in 1947. Since that time, more than 41,000
men and women from 130 nations have studied abroad. District 7710 is pleased to continue this
program as the Global Scholarship and is offering a $30,000 scholarship for the 2017-18 academic
year.
Information to assist Rotarians to find suitable candidates is available on the District website, under
to The Rotary Foundation tab, then click on Global Scholarships.
Key upcoming dates are: April 30, 2016 - Deadline for Applications to clubs
May 31, 2016 - Applications to District Committee
August 8, 2016 - District Committee interviews candidates

Training for Incoming District Governors
By Rusine Mitchell Sinclair
Every year in January, Rotary International
gathers 530 incoming District Governors from
over 200 countries to learn together, share ideas,
and for a week truly be a “global citizen.” I am the
latest incoming District 7710 Governor to share
this inspiring experience, one I have in common
with my predecessors. The Rotary International
Assembly is an experience that is difficult to
explain but represents Rotary’s unique investment
in its leaders.
From the moment you walk into the huge ballroom
and see the interpreters sitting in the individual
glass booths translating each word that is spoken
into French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin,
Portuguese, and Spanish, you feel the power of
Rotarians around the world united in “Service Above
Self.”
Dick and I took advantage of every opportunity offered to us, whether in a breakout session, at lunch,
or at an evening event to get to know our fellow Governors and their spouses, explore new ideas,
and be inspired by the presenters. We were able to meet and speak with Rotary International Board
members, Foundation trustees, and many of the past presidents of Rotary International during the
Assembly.
Rotary International President-elect, John F. Germ, shared his vision for the next Rotary year. He
told the personal story of his father’s sudden affliction with polio in the early 1950s and his struggle
to walk again, albeit with a limp for the rest of his life. There is great hope that 2017, the year of the
Rotary Foundation Centennial, will be the year we complete the eradication of polio.
“Service to humanity has been the cornerstone of Rotary since its earliest days, and has been its
main purpose ever since. Through Rotary, we have the capacity, the network, and the knowledge to
change the world; the only limits are the ones we place on ourselves”, said Rotary International
President Elect, John F. Germ. As the theme for the 2016-17 Rotary year, he proclaimed it is our
privilege, as Rotarians, to carry forth the tradition of Rotary Serving Humanity.

Germ, accompanied by their spouses.

2015 in Review: Big Wins for Polio
By Joseph M Reardon
2015 was a rough year for the stock markets but an unprecedented year for polio eradication. Much
of the biggest news didn’t hit the headlines. So before you start worrying about your retirement, let’s
shine some light in your day:
 Total polio cases for 2015 were 70, down from 359 in 2014. This is the best year in world history
for polio.
 All polio cases occurred in 2 countries: Afghanistan and Pakistan.
 You may have heard of sporadic cases in other countries (Laos, Ukraine, etc.). These cases
were vaccine-derived poliovirus, which is a known risk with live polio vaccine (aka, the polio
drops). The type of polio vaccine we use in the US (inactivated, injected polio vaccine) has never
caused a case of vaccine-derived poliovirus. In April 2016, all countries worldwide will be
transitioned to injected polio vaccine and the threat of vaccine-derived poliovirus will be over.
This switch requires a massive investment, supported by Rotarians worldwide.
 An unprecedented peace deal with the Taliban was agreed to in December, in which the Taliban
will achieve universal polio vaccination in its areas – the last enclave of polio in Afghanistan.
We are on track to achieve a polio-free
world within 2 years, but it will require
everyone’s help. Water samples from
Pakistan and Afghanistan that were
tested in January 2016 continued to be
positive for polio virus.
The New Year is a good time to make
sure your club has PolioPlus in its
budget – Rotary International asks for
$1000 per club, per year. You can give
directly to PolioPlus at www.rotary.org
if you need a speaker on Polio, email
Joseph.Reardon@alumni.duke.edu
for help in getting one scheduled.

District Meeting Provides Lots of Insights
It was a full house at the last District Assembly with over 120
Rotarians in attendance.
Carol Allen, Past District Governor, did an excellent job of
keeping things on time, which at times was not unlike a four-
ring circus with many concurrent sessions.
One of the highlights of the meeting, was the recognition of Lee
and Myra Scott, East Chapel Hill Rotary, as Major Donors, for
donating at least $10,000 to The Rotary Foundation.
The room where Mary Kamm and Barry Phillips held a
workshop on grants was packed to almost overflowing.
Joe Reardon, Chair of the PolioPlus, provided some exciting
updates on the advancements on the eradication of Polio in the
world. This spring Rotary will be moving away from oral
medication to injections. The District is also introducing a
PolioPlus Society, where you can become a member for only
$100 per year.
Having 78 students of the 108 who attended last year's RYLA's retreat apply to be peer counselors
is an indication of the impact of the program. Dave Stuckey and student Blair provided a great
endorsement for the program.
Updates on the 4 Way Test, New Generation Committee, Dominican Republic Trip, Atlanta RI
Conference, District Conference and the 50th Anniversary of the Boys and Girls Home provided a
lot of insights on the many programs that make Rotary a special service organization.
The end of the meeting involved concurrent sessions on Interact Advisers, Public Image Chairs
incoming Presidents and fund-raising.
As advertised the District Workshop did have something for everyone.

Club Reports
Reducing Hunger Locally
By Marie Howard
More than 24,000 meals were packaged into
1,150 Emergency Food Boxes (EFB) by 184
Rotarians, Interact students and community
volunteers from more than 15 organizations.
The two packing events were organized by the
Rotary Club of Oxford and held at the Masonic
Home for Children at Oxford.
Food insecurity remains a persistent problem in Granville and Vance Counties, with an estimated
21,000 residents not always knowing where they will find their next meal. The Emergency Food Box
was designed to address this need and is a joint project of the Rotary Clubs of Oxford and
Henderson. Eligible families receive the EFB through the local food bank and other community
organizations. Recipients are asking for the food box on return visits and are delighted to receive the
recipes and meal planning ideas in addition to the rice, beans and dehydrated vegetables.
The EFB is intended to be an emergency source of food. Small amounts of supplemental foods are
suggested for optimal nutrition. The box includes suggestions for preparing the food; instructions are
provided in English and Spanish and, for recipients who may be challenged to read the instructions,
the box includes pictorial directions on how to prepare the food. Most importantly, the food box
contains a weekly menu of low-cost, nutritionally adequate meals, helping the recipients to learn how
to buy food on a limited budget.
Together, the Rotary Clubs of Oxford and
Henderson along with 150 community
volunteers contributed 600 volunteer hours
and provided more than 24,000 meals for less
than $7,000. Financial support for the project
came from the Rotary clubs, a matching grant
from Rotary District 7710 and from generous
donations from individuals and organizations
in the community. The contents of the meal
packages were developed by Rotarian and
registered dietitian, Marie Howard, and can be
prepared and delivered to recipients for about
$0.25 per meal.
More information can be found on Rotary Showcase and the Rotary Club of Oxford NC Facebook
page. Interested in learning more, or conducting an EFB packing event with your club? Contact
Marie Howard for more information.

Durham Celebrates its Centennial
By Jay Zenner
The Rotary Club of Durham capped its centennial-year
service drive with a celebration at 21c downtown that
drew more than 150 members and guests Friday night,
January 8, 2016.
The club recognized its Centennial in 2015 under an
organized program of citywide volunteerism called “100
Acts of Service Above Self,” reflecting Rotary
International’s commitment to community volunteer
service. The party concluded the initiative.
Among leaders of the Durham Club’s 100-year volunteer effort were program Co-Chairs Don Stanger
and Brady Surles and fundraisers Susan Ross and Andy Esser.
Over 2015, Durham Rotary club members helped partner organizations to broaden volunteer support
for literacy, arts, youth, scholarships historic preservation, urban renewal, the elderly, the hungry and
international causes. Among partner groups were Habitat for Humanity, the East Durham Children’s
Initiative, Book Harvest, Durham Public Schools, Centerfest, Center for Senior Life, Sister Cities,
Rescue Missions, Durham County Library, and Urban Ministries.
Overall in 2015, the club helped to raise more than $265,000 to fund volunteer activities, community
projects and Rotary Foundation projects around the world. Personal acts of service organized
through the club and by individual initiatives exceeded 3,000.
“We are delighted with the outcome,” President Lois Deloatch said. “We have worked to serve the
community in essential areas that make a real difference in Durham and around the world.”

Interact helps expand Wendell Rotary project
By Emily Whitfield
Rotary has been an important part of my life for as
long as I can remember. From being named an
Honorary Junior Rotarian of the Wake Forest Club
to making many visits to other clubs around the area,
I’ve been attending meetings since I was in a high
chair.
As I’ve grown older, I realized Rotary extended me many opportunities in high school as well, through
Interact.
When I entered high school, it was the first club I joined. My sister was the sitting president of East
Wake High School’s chapter and as I saw her try to bring the club together, I began to get really
excited about the possibility of taking over the position after she graduated. As it happened, I was
elected at the end of my junior year to the presidency. I have been the President of the East Wake
chapter of Interact for 2 years now.
This year, with the help of our new advisor, Katie Coble, we have experienced some major growth
in membership. With this surge in membership, we also had an opportunity for growth in our service
projects.
The Wendell Rotary club, for a number of years now, has had a project that has had a significant
and lasting impact on me. They have taken the Thanksgiving holiday season as an opportunity to
reach out to families in need and provide a Thanksgiving meal to them that they otherwise wouldn’t
be able to have. The project started with just one family about 5 years ago. As their club has grown
to love this project, they have managed to expand to providing meals for three families this past
holiday.
As a result of the growth that East Wake’s Interact club experienced, we felt that partnering with the
Wendell Rotary Club to support a fourth family this year, was perfect for our club. We collected food
from members and other students in the school. A few members of our club also went out and
purchased the rest of the meal with donations from the Rotary Club that made it possible for us to fill
out the meal.
The final part of the project, definitely the most rewarding aspect, is delivering the food to the families.
About 10 members of the interact club, joined the Rotarians for lunch and afterward, split into groups
and dispersed across the community to make the deliveries.
My favorite part of this project is always the opportunity to visit with the families that we get the
chance to help.
Overwhelming doesn’t begin to describe the feelings of appreciation and joy that flow out of people
who have been affected by kindness. Service is the founding idea and biggest motivation of both
Rotary and Interact. My hope is that everyone keeps that in their mind and their heart as they begin
this New Year. Make it your resolution, to be a source of kindness in someone’s life. Make a
difference in whatever way you can. I’ll also leave you with the encouragement to get involved with
Interact. It provides many wonderful networking opportunities to students and a chance for Rotary to
make its mark on potential future members, like me.
