Governor Kirk's December message:.jpg/DG%20Kirk%20and%20Becky(1)__387x320.jpg) Greetings! Welcome to December 2021 fellow D6580 Rotarians. As I speak with our clubs I always talk about making Rotary “A” priority in our lives, not “THE” priority. This coming month will certainly challenge all of us to keep that delicate balance of family, faith, livelihood, health and Rotary in check. I am very confident our 1500 Rotarians are up to the challenge. As we reflect on this past calendar year we have much to celebrate. We have new clubs, new members, increased generosity to our foundation, many service projects and for the most part we are back meeting safely within our clubs and district events. Thanks to all of our club presidents and district leaders that have made 2021 a great year for southern Indiana Rotary! Let’s all take a very deep breath and enjoy this holiday season in whatever way you choose to relax and celebrate.
December is also Disease Prevention and Treatment Month in Rotary. I encourage each of you to read President Shekhar’s message in the December issue of our Rotary magazine. I can’t say it better than he has in his message. We can all be very proud of the work we are doing around the world to prevent disease and provide health services to so many in need. As he states, “our effort to eradicate polio is by far the best story in civil-society health care”. On a more local level, please take time this month to thank your local health care providers for their untiring efforts to keep all of us safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. I know many of our clubs have partnered with their local health care providers to extend moral and financial assistance in so many ways.
Please review all the important information in this newsletter. As you gather with friends and family keep a watchful eye out for folks that need to be Rotarians. Remember, “each one bring one”. The gift of Rotary could be the a great gift to the right person. If your Christmas gift you were planning for a loved one is stuck somewhere in the supply chain or on a boat in Long Beach Harbor, consider giving a Paul Harris Fellowship as a gift. ?? . Our District RI Foundation committee just announced how you can do this for as little as $500. If interested please contact PDG Jessika Hane for more details. I also encourage all to shop local and support the folks that support our Rotary clubs and our communities.
In closing I want to extend Becky and my’s warmest wishes to you and your family for a safe and joy filled holiday season. We are honored to be your district governor family and look forward to a great start to the new year 2022 as we all continue serving to change lives.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Serving to change lives,

The Lives of Girls in Peru Improved due to
Rotary Club of Martinsville District Grant Project Artist drawing
by Mark Uebel, Rotary Club of Martinsville
The Rotary Club of Martinsville is excited to see the completion of the dormitory expansion at the Sacred Valley Project (SVP) in Calca, Peru. This project happened because of the support of a Rotary International Foundation District Grant. The grant makes improvements in the lives of 40 high school girls in Calca, Peru. Rotary is partnering with the Sacred Valley Project (SVP) in Calca and Ollantaytambo, Peru which are both small villages in the Andes Mountains.
Specifically, the grant built additional restroom, laundry and shower facilities in the SVP school and dormitory in Calca which has increased the capacity for additional students.
SVP saw the need for girls in remote villages to continue their education past the age of 14. Because many girls live in remote farms and villages, they would need to walk for up to four hours twice a day to attend the nearest high school. SVP built a boarding school in both Calca and Ollantaytambo so the girls could attend school during the week and return home over the weekends. Because of the need SVP has expanded their dorm in Calca, but need the additional restroom, laundry, and bathing facilities.
The Rotary Club of Martinsville received a matching grant from the Rotary International Foundation District 6580 in which the Foundation and the local club contributed $1,500 each to the project. The SVP then contracted with builders in Calca to complete the work. The Martinsville Rotary Club has also partnered with the Rotary Club of Cusco, Peru, which is about a two-hour drive from Calca. The project not only benefits the girls in the school, but also local workers and suppliers.
The SVP provides housing, nutrition, school fees and uniforms, school supplies, tutoring and extra-curricular activities. In turn, the girls have a safe and nurturing place to learn and compete their secondary education. Many of the girls are learning Spanish as their second language since the native Quechua language is more common in their villages. The dorm and staff provide the girls with opportunity to complete high school and seek personal and economic opportunities. Many go on to trade schools or community colleges or to work outside of their villages. Gabriela Scarafioca, Program Director in Peru and Girls! |

'We’re doing so much more than eradicating polio'
PolioPlus Program brings Added Benefits
The 'Plus' in Polio
from RI email:Musa Muhammed Ali, a farmer in Borno state, Nigeria, has had to deal with the many ways polio has affected his life. For instance, he used to have to pay for transportation when he needed to buy feed for his animals. But after receiving a hand-operated tricycle funded through Rotary’s PolioPlus grants, Ali (pictured above) can now spend that money on other necessities. His life was changed by the “plus” in PolioPlus.
When we talk about PolioPlus, we know we are eradicating polio, but do we realize how many added benefits the program brings? The “plus” is something else that is provided as a part of the polio eradication campaign. It might be a hand-operated tricycle or access to water. It might be additional medical treatment, bed nets, or soap. A 2010 study estimates that vitamin A drops given to children at the same time as the polio vaccine have prevented 1.25 million deaths by decreasing susceptibility to infectious diseases. |

Two Rotary Clubs hold Annual Rotary Toast
to Honor Community Leaders and
Raise Funds for CharitiesDr. Dan Eichenberger Honored at 27th Annual
New Albany Rotary Toast
Dr. Dan EichenbergerAbout 340 guests attended New Albany Rotary Club’s 27th Annual Rotary Toast and Benefit Banquet on Friday, November 5. As with so many recent events, the 2021 edition was delayed a year by Covid-19. The original honoree, Dr. Dan Eichenberger, maintained his commitment to the event through the delay, and he was “toasted” by colleagues, friends and family during the evening’s program.
Held every “first Friday” in November at Huber’s Orchard & Winery’s Plantation Hall in Starlight, the Toast honors a community leader who exemplifies Rotary’s motto: Service above Self. Eichenberger, a New Albany native, physician and past-CEO of Baptist Health Floyd, was bestowed as a Paul Harris Fellow and was awarded as a Distinguished Hoosier by Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb. Proceeds from the event are split between the New Albany Rotary Club Foundation and a charitable organization chosen by the honoree.Charlotte Zietlow Honored at 7th Annual Bloomington
Rotary Toast Charlotte (right) with her daughter, Rebecca, a professor at the University of Toledo Law School. On Friday, Nov. 5 300 Rotarians and other friends of Charlotte Zietlow gathered at Shreve Hall on the Ivy Tech Community College campus to honor Charlotte and to raise money for Habitat for Humanity of Monroe County. Dozens of others watched the program on livestream.
To watch a recording of the event, go to: https://youtu.be/ow4QfMeDN1s.
Exchange Student Sends Love from Australia to Charlotte:
As a 17 year old in 1976, Raeleigh Lambert of Brisbane, Australia was Rotary’s first exchange student to Bloomington. Charlotte and her late husband, Paul, and their family welcomed her into their Bloomington home. Raeleigh has never forgotten their kindness.
In a Nov. 5 letter to Charlotte, Raeleigh wrote: “I send my love and regrets that I could not be in Bloomington with you tonight and to all the members of Rotary I would like to say a heartfelt thank you for my extraordinary year in the United States, made possible by your generosity and belief in the programme that received me as the first Rotary Youth Exchange Student to Bloomington, 45 years ago. “A vivid memory I have of arriving in Bloomington late on the evening of January 18, 1976 is of looking out the window of the aircraft as it taxied toward the terminal building and seeing two people standing outside, huddled together in the snow. It was my first glimpse of Paul and Charlotte.”
Raeleigh and her family celebrated Charlotte and the Toast with a champagne brunch as they watched the livestream of the Toast from their home in Brisbane, Australia. In Charlotte’s honor, they also raised a U.S. flag on their 15-acre property. |

III. Develop relationships between Rotary and secondary schools.
IV. Provide an opportunity for students to test their skills before an audience.

Option 1: If a club chooses to hold a speech contest but doesn’t choose to participate in the District Contest (see below) the District will do the following:
-Clubs can select the theme/topic of the speech and can alter the speech contest rules as they see fit. We hope the club will either choose the Four Way Test or the Rotary theme for 21-22: Service to Change Lives however this is the club’s choice.
-Once the club (or a panel of their choosing) have selected the winner the District will send the club $100 to be included as part of the prize money.
Option 2: If a club chooses to participate in the district speech contest, the following is the process to do so:
-The District contest rules must be followed, including the theme/title of the speech.
-Once the club has determined the winner of their club contest, they will video record the winner’s speech and send this to the district Administrative Assistant (following the rules stated) at bdunham@rauchinc.org. Video recordings must be received by March lst.
-A panel of judges from different clubs around the district will review the speeches and, based on the scorecard (on Rules page), will rate the speeches. The District Speech coordinator will tally the scores and determine the lst, 2nd and 3rd place winners. All participants will be notified by March 15th of the winning speeches.
-The winner will be invited to speak at the District Conference lunch on April 9th to be held at the IU Memorial Union in Bloomington.
-Those selected as the winners will receive the following: lst place: $1000, 2nd place $500, 3rd place $250. (Note: If a club participates in the district, contest they do not receive the $100.)
