Rotary IS:
For over 100
years Rotary has been a non-religious, non-political organization of people
dedicated to making their communities and the world a better place through acts
of charity, fellowship, and service. Today the men and women of Rotary are
united by a commitment to truth, fairness, building goodwill, and a desire for
mutual success. For tomorrow we see hope in a drop of vaccine, a jug of clean
water, and a handshake that reaches around the world.
----------------------------
The
Rotary Wheel
Around the
hub of fellowship is built the wheel of Rotary,
with spokes reaching out like hands to people of all lands.
Shoulder to shoulder we stand, hands clasped in mutual helpfulness;
bound by an encircling golden band.
"Service Above Self"
is the power that makes the Rotary wheel go around,
blending personalities and binding nationalities."
If It Is
To Be - It Is Up
To Me

Steven & other Scouts
June 30 Tonight
was our "Valley Hero Award" Program. Our MC was Member
Wiggs Mendoza, and he began by relating that most true leaders come from humble
beginnings, and show two traits: compassion, and a need to help their fellow
man. Our first recipient we found in the Boy Scouts of America, and are very
proud to present the award to Steven Pulsipher. Steven is well on
his way to completing the requirements of an Eagle Scout.
The Jacob
Weins Elementary School in Hemet suffered a disastrous+ fire and in particular it burned most of the books
in the Library which influenced Steven greatly as he has the feeling that
without books, a school is merely a series of buildings without the character
needed to influence the students. So Steven decided to do a project of
replacing at
least 500 books.
Realizing that he couldn't do it himself, he went to the community, book and
other stores asking permission to put posters, the media, and he went online to
the internet asking for help. There was great response and Steven and
other people helped in doing bar-coding and then shelving the books. In
the end he raised 750 books out of which 200 were suitable for classroom use,
and another 20 that were of a higher reading level went to the Hemet Public
Library. In doing this project Steven spent 92 hours.
We feel in our club that
we should begin searching and recognizing these Heroes from our own valley.
In the future we will award two people each year on a bi-annual basis, and we
welcome anyone in our community to send names to us of anyone that it is felt
that they would be a suitable candidate. Send the person's name to
ccardey@verizon.net
along
with a short essay describing why this person should receive the award.

Virginia
Figueredo/Kate Moore (below)
June 23 This
night we were particularly honored to have from England,
Kate
Moore MBE
(Member of the British Empire, which means that Kate was Selected as an
MBE by the Queen in recognition of her very substantial value to the
UK). She has been a great help to people all over the world in the many
organizations that she belongs to.
Kate was awarded the very
First "Jean Harris Award" (wife of the First President of Rotary
International) for women, by RI. Kate has been a member of Soroptimist
International for 30 years, having served in many positions particularly as the
President of their Great Britain & Ireland Federation, and currently is the
Director of Membership. Any women interested in joining this wonderful
worldwide women's organization can get more information at their website at: www.soroptimistinternational.org/
Kate is also very intimately involved with two other organizations:
Landmine Action, and Cluster Bomb Removal and has travelled extensively
around the world in the attempt to achieve Disarmament Treaties, of which there
have now been Two signed, particularly the banning of Landmines signed at
Ottawa, Can, and Oslo, Norway in 2007, and Dublin, Ireland in 2008.
Kate is a Board Member of
Landmine Action and they work to save lives and livelihoods through the
elimination of landmines and other explosive remnants of war (ERW). In
1990 Princess Diana of the UK was very heavily involved in this organization,
travelling to the areas of contamination. Mines contaminate more than 80
nations, many of them the world's poorest. Despite the presence of international
legislation to ban the landmine, many mines remain in the ground or in
stockpiles and many countries have yet to sign up to the legislation: these
include the US, China, Pakistan, India, & the UK. Each year, up
to 20,000 new casualties are caused by landmines and unexploded ordnance: around
1,500 a month and 40 a day. For Ten
facts you need to know about landmines and/or are interested is joining or
helping, go to: http://www.landmineaction.org/problem.asp
.
For the Cluster Munition Coalition Kate is in charge of logistics for the
International conferences and travelling, housing, reservations etc. for
all the attendees that travel to and from each location.
Cluster munitions are large weapons which are deployed from the air and from the
ground and release dozens or hundreds of smaller submunitions. Submunitions
released by air-dropped cluster bombs are most often called
“bomblets It is estimated that 40% of all
submunitions fail to detonate on impact and become de facto antipersonnel mines
killing and maiming people long after the conflict has ended. These duds are
more lethal than antipersonnel mines; incidents involving submunition duds are
much more likely to cause death than injury. Cluster bombs have killed and
injured thousands of civilians during the last 40 years and continue to do so
today. They cause widespread harm on impact and yet remain dangerous, killing
and injuring civilians long after a conflict has ended. One third of all
recorded cluster munitions casualties are children. 60% of cluster bomb
casualties are injured while undertaking their normal
activities. For further information and/or
have and interest in joining or helping, go to the

interests.
She has a long history as a proprietor in several Hair Salons, and ran a school
for beauticians, both in So. Calif. and in Texas. She also worked in the
Aerospace industry. She is a most valuable member of our club,

This
night we had GARY TAYLOR. He is a retired US Navy captain whose
presentations, lectures, and seminars balance energy, insight, humor…and
slices of the “Cowboy Way.” His knowledgeable talks center around his
research on generational cultures. His rich stories are framed out of
partnership fathering with his son-in-law(the therapist), his global travels,
and high level adventures—Navy fighter pilot, missionary, rancher, business
entrepreneur, and teacher and author.
