MY DEAR CHANGEMAKERS, A quarter of the Rotary year is now behind us. I am sure you are helping rotary to grow more and do more. And I hope you have already done your part or the Each One, Bring One initiative by introducing one person to Rotary. Do you ever think about your earliest days as a Rotarian? I often do – because those first moments of discovering the power of service shaped who I am today. When I joined my Rotary club, our efforts focused on India’s rural communities, where people were living without toilets, getting their drinking water from the same pond they bathed in, and sending their children to outdoor classrooms set up under a tree. The nearest health care provided often was miles away – and the services were inadequate. But after Rotary clubs carried out some service projects, the villages had toilets, clean drinking water, a classroom for early learning, and a nearby health care center. The spark that Rotary kindled within me forced me to look beyond myself and embrace humanity. It made service a way of life and led me to a guiding principle I still stand by: Service is the rent I pay for the space I occupy on Earth. If you feel the need to reignite the spark of service in yourself or your club, October – Community Economic Development Month – is a great time to do so. When we work to improve the lives of people in underserved communities – through, for example, projects that provide vocational training and access to financial resources – we help build and sustain local economic growth. The need is great. According to the United Nations, 9 percent of the world’s population – that’s 700 million people, a majority of them in sub-Saharan Africa – live on less than $1.90 a day. By supporting strong community development as well as entrepreneurs, we can help improve conditions for people in that region and others. Your club can also promote economic development in your own community by expanding vocational training opportunities through local schools and community colleges, partnering with lenders to improve access to financial services, or working with a nonprofit that provides resources to entrepreneurs and connects them with the business community. Of course, developing strong communities is impossible without strong public health. On 24 October, World Polio Day, we’ll celebrate our tremendous progress in the effort to eradicate polio. But we also know the fight is not over. We still need your help raising funds and awareness to ensure that all children are immunized against polio. Please don’t forget to activate your clubs on that important day and encourage them to donate here: endpolio.org/world-polio-day. Service has been rewarding for me throughout my life. I know the same is true for many of you. Join me this month in becoming a good tenant of our planet by helping others to better themselves and their communities. Together, we can Service to Change Lives.

ROTARY’S OCTOBER FOCUS ON ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
By Jennifer Shertzer, member of the Plano West Rotary Club As rallies for racial justice happened throughout the U.S. in the summer of 2020, members of Plano West Rotary Club (PWRC) located in Plano, Texas felt compelled to find a COVID-safe way to help create equity for the Black community, as well as involve more community members in Rotary’s efforts. PWRC brought their desire to be allies of and strengthen Black neighbors throughout the local community. The club met with several community members with deep roots in the Douglass Community, Plano’s historically Black neighborhood founded in the 1800s. Working with local leaders, the Rotary Community Corps (RCC) of Plano Douglass Community was formed on 26 June 2020 to formalize a relationship with the club and partner on service projects in support of this underserved community.
October 2021 , 2020
Page 7
Almost immediately after its creation, the RCC worked with our club to identify some of the Douglass Community’s most pressing needs: access to nutritious food and educational resources. The RCC has empowered the Douglass Community to voice their needs, and to work with us to jointly develop projects to help the community meet their most basic needs. The collaboration between our club and the RCC also proved successful in engaging non-Rotarians in community service. A diverse group has volunteered alongside Plano West Rotary Club in at least 21 service projects so far. A total of 929 volunteer hours have been served, and $174,937 worth of in-kind goods have been distributed to neighbors in the Douglass Community. The majority of in-kind goods received were food boxes donated by Plano-area food pantries and food banks. Over seven months, PWRC and the RCC went out 11 times to deliver an approximate total of 1,500 food boxes door-to-door to community members in need. On every delivery date, between 125 and 200 homes received boxes filled with fresh food and nonperishable items. Click here to read more. What is a Rotary Community Corps? A Rotary Community Corps is a group of non-Rotarians who share our commitment to changing the world through service projects. RCC members plan and carry out projects in their communities and support local Rotary club projects. What’s involved? By joining or organizing an RCC, you can make a tremendous impact in your community. How do I join an RCC? RCCs can exist anywhere a local Rotary club sponsors one. You can find an RCC in your area by contacting your local Rotary club. If there isn’t a community corps, discuss the idea of starting one with your local Rotary club president. Learn more about what you can do through a Rotary Community Corps. How do I sponsor an RCC? By sponsoring an RCC, you’re giving more people a chance to take action to solve your community’s problems. Fill out an organization form and email it to Rotary International. How do I form an RCC? You can form an RCC anywhere community members are interested in working with Rotary. Here are some guidelines: • • •
Work with other local residents to identify the community’s greatest needs using this assessment form. Work with your local Rotary club to outline how you will work together. Recruit RCC members. Start with a core group of members. Community organizations and nongovernmental agencies are good places to recruit.

LOOKING AHEAD IN ROTARY ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT International Day for the Eradication of Poverty - October 17
Canada‘s poverty rate has fallen to a historic low in one of the sharpest three-year declines on record, the national statistics office says, but millions of Canadians still live below the poverty line. Statistics Canada reported Monday that the national poverty rate dropped to 8.7 per cent in 2018 compared to 9.5 per cent a year earlier. The child-poverty rate was little changed at 8.2 per cent. Still, the agency said 566,000 children lived in poverty compared to one million at a peak six years earlier. Click here to read more.
Poverty in Canada The Canadian Poverty Institute understands poverty to be multi-dimensional involving material, social and spiritual poverty. •
Material poverty exists where people lack access to, or the skills to acquire, sufficient material and financial resources to thrive.
•
Social poverty exists where people are isolated and lack the formal and informal supports necessary to be resilient in times of crisis and change.
•
Spiritual poverty exists where people lack meaning in their lives and connection to a faith community that sustains them.
Considering Canada's wealth and resources, a disproportionate number of Canadians are living in poverty. Poverty affects millions of Canadians. Income inequality is growing, and recent estimates indicate over 14% of Canadians suffer from low income. Many more live precariously from paycheque to paycheque and are at risk of falling into poverty. Child poverty rates are not declining and food security is an issue for far too many. It is estimated that over 150,000 Canadians are homeless on any given day. The Canadian Poverty Institute exists to seek solutions to these pressing issues.

UPDATE ON POLIO ERADICATION
Summary of new WPV and cVDPV viruses this week (AFP cases and ES positives): •
No new WPV and cVDPV cases reported this week
“Afghanistan is one of two countries in the world where polio remains endemic. With only one case of wild poliovirus reported so far this year, compared to 56 in 2020, there has never been a better time to eradicate polio. However, the polio programme will struggle to respond if the basic immunization infrastructure begins to collapse around it.” – Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization, and Dr Ahmed Al-Mandhari, WHO Regional Director for the Eastern Mediterranean on their visit to Kabul.

Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever. As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979. Rotary members have contributed more than $2.1 billion and countless volunteer hours to protect nearly 3 billion children in 122 countries from this paralyzing disease. Rotary’s advocacy efforts have played a role in decisions by governments to contribute more than $10 billion to the effort. Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan. But it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free. If all eradication efforts stopped today, within 10 years, polio could paralyze as many as 200,000 children each year.

We recently completed a high-level mission to Kabul, Afghanistan, where we met with senior members of the Taliban leadership, UN partners, health care workers and patients, and WHO staff. Afghanistan’s health system is on the brink of collapse. Unless urgent action is taken, the country faces an imminent humanitarian catastrophe. Our visit allowed us to witness the immediate needs of the Afghan people firsthand and meet with stakeholders to define ways to urgently scale up our health response. Acting on the UN principles of neutrality and independence, we engaged in constructive dialogue to address differences and find solutions that will allow us to continue our life-saving work for millions of innocent Afghans affected by decades of conflict. Click here to view a short video.
WHO and partners are committed to staying on the ground to deliver critical health services, to support female health workers, to facilitate access for women and girls to health care, and to prevent the spread of diseases like COVID-19 and polio. Significant health gains have been made in the past 20 years. These must not be rolled back. We will not stop now. We are staying. We are delivering. We must ensure that the health gains of the past two decades in Afghanistan are not lost.

The WASH Rotary Action Group was formed in 2007 by a group of Rotarians, recognized by Rotary International, and focused on WASH projects. Since then, it has facilitated many hundreds of projects – helping clubs find partners, ensuring sustainability, stressing the importance of a needs-driven approach, and developing best practices. We encourage a holistic, integrated approach in which water is not the end in itself but is rather the means to a better life and livelihood in the community. Most importantly, WASH Rotary Action Group links water and sanitation to improved hygiene, better health, and empowerment of the community – especially women, irrigation and agriculture, education and literacy and, ultimately, child mortality. As a Rotary Action Group, WASH invites Rotarians from around the world to join them and engage in the battle to provide safe water, sanitation and hygiene for all. Any Rotarian interested in supporting us can get involved with our activities and be Linked to global WASH assistance efforts.

View a short introductory video here. Many Rotary Clubs support literacy around the world by participating in, and supporting, the Dolly Parton Imagination Library! Have a look if you need more information. Click here for a short video.
ABOUT DOLLY PARTON’S IMAGINATION LIBRARY Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a book gifting program that mails free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five, no matter their family’s income. After launching in 1995, the program grew quickly. First books were only distributed to children living in Sevier County, Tennessee where Dolly grew up. It became such a success that in 2000 a national replication effort was underway. By 2003, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library had mailed one million books. It would prove to be the first of many millions of books sent to children around the world. Dolly’s home state of Tennessee pledged to pursue statewide coverage in 2004 and global expansion was on the horizon. After the United States, the program launched in Canada in 2006 followed by the United Kingdom in 2007, Australia in 2013 and the Republic of Ireland in 2019. To read more, click here.

Passport Clubs differ from e-clubs in that members live within a defined geographical region – in this case, District 6330. However, that’s not always the case. The D6330 Global Passport Club members’ defined geographical area is the globe. If you think this new style of Rotary club might be a good fit for you - reach out!
When someone asks you What is a Passport Club? The founding principle is simple: Make Rotary fit your life! To facilitate this, the 6330 Passport Club conducts business electronically and offers several in-person opportunities per year. In lieu of weekly meetings, members are encouraged to engage in humanitarian service, however that works best for them! The members of the Rotary Club of District 6330 Passport are full Rotary members, with the same privileges and rights as Rotarians who are members of traditional clubs.

Running a successful Rotary club is a bit like baking a cake. You need the right ingredients. If you’re a baker, you know that a great cake is made up of individual ingredients that come together to produce something special. A great Rotary club is like that, in that it is made up of a unique mix of ingredients. Here are the five that I have found in most, if not all, successful Rotary clubs. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
A unique club identity Engaging club meetings A robust, member-driven service program A desire to socialize with others Strong leadership
