District Governor Deb’s Introduction As District Governor 2013-14 I believe my role is to help create an environment where clubs can prosper. I am in my role for a short time only. I am only one member of a team working to lead our District. Without a doubt we are undergoing change in Rotary and this will continue. Change may often make us feel uncomfortable and possibly threatened and disorientated. I am not immune from this. But rather than avoid it, my focus this year will be to ask how we can harness change for our own good and who can help to make the changes when our own experience falls short. Without doubt Rotary has some challenges (or problems as some would call them), but we should concentrate on the positives and use these to guide us to a successful future. It is amazing how many great projects are continuing, or are being started by clubs which offer an opportunity for us to become involved and excited about. We do not need to make Rotary “complicated” but rather concentrate on the basics where there is a lot of enjoyment to be had. In looking at the basics, this year’s theme of Engage Rotary, Change Lives, should be a pointer to the future. See it as a call to connect with our communities. By doing so we will change many lives, not least of which will be our own. I want our members to focus on feeling good about being involved with their club, making a connection with their communities and most of all having fun. I do not want them to become burdened with perceptions of what Rotary International or District might want. While we must stay true to the core values of Rotary we must run our clubs for members benefit. Rotary should exist because of and for the ordinary member. Change will undoubtedly come. For many of us it will be difficult, but it must also be natural to be successful. Change needs to be led by ordinary Rotarians. I have made and will be making changes during this year. The traditional changeover was eliminated, conference will have a community service focus, and District Assembly will be merged with Conference. The official DG visit will have a cluster focus. The aim of these changes is to provide better value for time and cost and to create a greater public awareness of what we do. So my challenge to all Rotarians is join me, support me, and enjoy the ride for the year. There are a few areas I would like to focus on for the year and we have appointed District Committees which can provide support in these areas. Strengthen and Support Clubs – Provided we maintain the core values of Rotary, how your club operates is the business of your club, not District or Rotary International. Many of our traditions are simply traditions and not rules, and you can change them if your club wishes to. While I would hope every member is proud enough of the organisation to want to invite others to join we should not become preoccupied with membership, but instead when we are truly enjoying ourselves others will naturally want to join. Greater use of the clusters and multi club projects offer opportunities to be bolder with our projects and may maintain the interest of members who would otherwise be challenged to remain. Public Image – The work Rotary does is nothing short of magical and yet there are many who still do not know what Rotary does or who is eligible to join. Social media is one tool we can use for public image but the traditional media and making ourselves visible in the community still have a huge part to play in telling our story. 9

Foundation – International service is a part of being a Rotarian and The Rotary Foundation is our vehicle for much of this. Part of Foundation giving is Polio Plus and I would like our Rotarians to stay on board with this. After 10 years of treading water the last three years have really taken this program to the cusp of success. What a shame it would be to walk away from this now and allow others to take the credit for all that we have done. Finally, remember that a 50 percent of Foundation giving now comes back to District for your clubs to utilise locally. So Neville and I invite you to join us for an eventful year, one in which we do change lives and one where we finish with a feeling of having enriched our own lives. Deb Gimblett District Governor 9940

Paul Harris and RI President 2013 – 2014

1.1

Paul Harris: 1868 – 1947 Born in Racine, Wisconsin, USA on April 19, Paul P Harris spent his early years in Wallingford, Vermont. He went on to study Law at the University of Iowa, and following his graduation in 1891, spent the next five years seeing the world. He then went to Chicago to practice law.

Today Rotary is well known throughout the world for its dedication to service and international goodwill. This was hardly uppermost in the mind of Paul Harris when he founded the organisation in Chicago in 1905. He envisioned a new kind of club for professionals that could recapture some of the friendly spirit among businessmen that had existed in smaller communities. On Feb 23 1905, he invited three friends to a meeting where they discussed Harris‘ idea that business leaders should meet periodically to enjoy fellowship and to enlarge their circle of business and professional acquaintances. Among them was a coal merchant, a mining engineer, a merchant tailor and Harris, a lawyer. The club met weekly and membership was limited to one representative from each business and profession. Though the term Rotary was not used that night, it is commonly regarded as the first Rotary meeting. Paul Harris named the club ‘Rotary’ because members met in rotation at various places of business. The name met with general approval and club membership grew rapidly. When Paul Harris became Club President in its third year, he was anxious to extend Rotary to other cities because he was convinced that the Rotary Club could be developed into an important service movement. In the subsequent 100+ years, the organisation has grown to more than 34,700 clubs and around 1.2 million members, all brought together through Paul Harris‘ vision of service and fellowship.

Rotary International President 2013 – 2014

Ron D. Burton – Jetta, (Rotary Club of Norman, Oklahoma, USA) To the Rotarians of District 9940 Our commitment to Rotary begins with the simple act of coming to our club meetings, putting on our name badges, and sitting down together with our fellow Rotarians. That’s where it begins – but not where it ends. Being a Rotarian is a commitment that extends into so many aspects of our lives; our work, our family, our interactions with others, and the values we hold dear. All of us came to Rotary to get involved, and to make a difference. We were invited into our clubs because Rotary knew we were capable; we chose to join because we decided to rise to that challenge. In Rotary service, as in just about everything else in life, the more you put into it, the more you get out of it. If you only put in a token effort, you won’t accomplish very much, and you won’t find very much satisfaction in what you do accomplish. But when you make the decision to truly engage Rotary – to bring Rotary service and Rotary values into every day of your life – that is when you start to see the incredible impact that you can have. That’s when you find the inspiration, the excitement, and the power to truly achieve. In the 2013-2014 Rotary year, our theme, and my challenge to you, is Engage Rotary, Change Lives. You’ve chosen to wear a Rotary pin. The rest is up to you.

District Governor Deb Gimblett and Neville Born in Napier and schooled at Sacred Heart, Deb then moved to Palmerston North to train in nursing. This led to a progression of jobs involving medical/surgical nursing, psychiatric and addiction nursing, then project development in pharmacy and now pharmacy management. This developed Deb’s strengths in engaging with people as individuals, recognising and developing their strengths and demanding that they deliver on their potential. Deb met and married Neville, a young farmer, before they bought their own farm in North Canterbury in 1984. She continued her nursing career at Queen Mary Hospital during this time and after 8 years the farm was sold and they moved to Rangiora. Neville trained as a pharmacist and Deb continued to work in

people-focused operations. After 4 years at University Neville’s new pharmacy career took Deb back to Napier. There she forged her own pharmacy role, developing health promotion and public forum roles for Peter Dunkerley’s Pharmacy. Her job description was ‘this has never been done before, make it happen’. In 2003 they bought their own Pharmacy in Foxton. Within the first week in town, Deb had joined Rotary. From there it was Club Director, President, District Chair of Healthy Heroes Committee, Club Facilitator, AG, introduction of RYDA to the Horowhenua Cluster, hosting of a RIYE student, a trip to India with PolioPlus and now DG. While change has been a constant in Deb’s life, Rotary’s 4-Way Test has proven to be a good test for measuring that change. Deb has 3 daughters, Lisa now works as a pharmacist technician, beautician, Amanda is a Doctor and Jenn a Custom’s Officer. All 3 are living in Christchurch.

Immediate Past District Governor

Graeme Blick and Christine Graeme is a Wellingtonian, growing up and educated in Petone. Graeme and Christine have been married for 37 years and live in Whitby. After leaving school Graeme joined the then New Zealand Geological Survey (now GNS Science) where he started work as a Science Technician. He was fortunate to obtain a government scholarship to attend Otago University, completing a Surveying degree with Distinction. Returning to GNS he worked in their Earth Deformation Group and studied crustal deformation due to plate tectonics and volcanic activity, including working on Mt Erebus in Antarctica. In 1992 Graeme received an opportunity to take his family to the USA for 2 years to study and work in Boulder, Colorado at the University NAVSTAR Consortium. Here he worked on a number of projects using GPS to measure crustal deformation around the world. This included studying the effects of a devastating earthquake in Turkey. On his return to New Zealand he moved to Land Information New Zealand and is currently the Chief Geodesist heading the National Geodetic Office and manager of the National Topographic Office. Graeme continues to be involved in one of his passions, working in Antarctica, having visited on a number of occasions, surveying and mapping. In recognition of this work he had a mountain named after him by the US National Science Foundation. Graeme has been a member of the Rotary Club of Plimmerton for over 18 years. He was President in 2001/02 and has held many offices in the club. He is particularly passionate about the Youth and Vocational programmes such as RYLA and GSE, being the GSE team leader to New York in 2007. Graeme has held a number of District roles including being on the GSE outward committee. Outside of Rotary Graeme is a keen Toastmaster, enjoys motor sport, and tramping. Christine was born and educated in Wanganui and has spent most of her working career in the banking industry. She is an avid cook and together they enjoy good food, wine and entertaining. Graeme and Christine’s children have successfully completed their university studies. Cameron is now married and living in Taupo, and has recently joined Rotary. Stephanie is a qualified Town Planner currently living in London.

District Governor Elect Anthony Scott and Nicky Anthony grew up in Frankton, (where his late father was a Rotarian), and went to the University of Waikato. He was active in campus life, including being student newspaper editor in 1981, but nonetheless graduated in history and politics.

He tutored in politics at Waikato and Canterbury Universities before coming to Wellington. He worked first in the Department of Justice in the policy and communications area; and then in a marketing, advertising and PR consultancy. His OE to the UK became 9 years in a public relations consultancy. He returned to Wellington in 1995 with his Zambian-born wife, Nicky, and three children (Dominic, Francesca and Xavier). The three are now tertiary students, with two still at home. As an NNEB early-childcare nurse, Nicky worked in the UK and USA, has managed childcare programmes, and is now a teacher’s aide at Kimi Ora School in Wellington. Nicky has been Secretary of Diabetes Youth Wellington, and is on the Island Bay United Football Club committee. Anthony was a PR consultant advising corporates, Maori groups, NGOs and government agencies through to 2001 when he became Chief Executive of Science New Zealand. It provides organisational support, policy, advocacy and communications for the 8 Crown Research Institutes with their 4400 staff across New Zealand. Anthony has served on parish councils, school boards, and chaired Compassion Hospital in Wellington. He joined the Rotary Club of Wellington in 2001, was PR chair 2004-2006, President 2008-2009, John Ilott Trust member 2007-2010, and has served on District public relations and family focus groups. He believes that Rotary, of all types of voluntary community activity, provides the widest range of life skills and experiences, and also the greatest opportunity for a person to make an exponential difference locally, nationally and globally. And, amongst those ‘ordinary people doing extraordinary things’ are some of the most extraordinary people one can hope to meet, be inspired by, learn from and with whom to enjoy life.

District Governor Nominee Simon Manning was born in Lower Hutt, and educated at various schools in the Hutt Valley. At the age of 13, following the deaths of his Grandparents in very close succession and the impact of those deaths, he was drawn to find out more about funerals. He worked for a Wellington funeral company in his school holidays and eventually joined that company at the completion of his schooling. Following his formal training through the Central Institute of Technology, he qualified in Embalming and Funeral Directing.

In 1989 Simon set up his own business, Harbour City Funeral Home. Simon joined Rotary in 1990 with Mt Victoria Rotary Club, he stayed with Rotary for a few years, but pressures of operating a new business and Rotary’s requirement for strict attendance saw him reluctantly resign in the mid-90’s. Simon joined the Rotary Club of Hutt City in 2006, when it was suggested by a long-time friend that it was time to come back to Rotary. Simon was President of the Rotary Club of Hutt City in 2011/2012. Simon lives in Wellington with his partner Brad McAneney. Brad has a Bachelor of Social Work from Massey University, which he obtained prior to joining the funeral profession. In 2002 Brad graduated from Weltec with a Diploma in Funeral Services. Brad is a shareholder in the company and manages the Guardian Funeral Home brand in Johnsonville and Tawa. Brad is a member of the Rotary Club of Wellington North, and is currently a director of its Youth Committee. Spare time sees Simon and Brad attending to their grapes in Martinborough, where they have a small lifestyle block. You may just see them on weekends in the Wairarapa, Brad on his Harley Davidson and Simon in his Blue Mini!

12.2.2 Risk Management The process of examination and assessment of projects to identify possible risk is called Risk Management. District 9940 has developed a manual to assist Rotary leaders in the District, in Clubs and other associated organisations to apply risk management procedures to all their activities. Clear guidelines are given to the nature of identifiable risks and the steps to limit their occurrence and identify the safeguards Rotary Clubs should take when undertaking any project. Club leaders are encouraged to refer to this manual, which can be downloaded from the District 9940 web site.

12.2.7 Insurance Advice District and Club Activities Death or bodily injury claims during public events This is covered by the Accident Compensation Act and there is no liability at all on the part of the Rotary Club whether they are negligent or not. However the possibility of exemplary damages claim for personal injury may be made against clubs. All clubs in the district are insured by the district policy to a limit of $1,000,000. The Club must be negligent and this negligence must be proven.

44

Damage to a Rotarian’s personal property while on Rotary activities This should be covered by the member’s own personal insurance on their household goods and personal effects. Rotary district insurance does not provide such cover. Accidental damage to property belonging to the public All of the clubs in the district are insured by the district policy for their liability for accidental damage to any property belonging to third parties, i.e. the public negligence must be proven. The limit of liability is $5,000,000, which is probably a realistic adequate maximum. But remember that the policy does not cover any accidental damage to the Rotary club’s property but only damage to other people’s property. Weather catastrophe It is possible to insure against rain causing cancellation of an event. That is an expensive class of insurance and an insurance broker should be asked to arrange it. The district policy does not provide such cover. Important Notes It is essential that when a club is involved in an activity outside the “normal day-to-day Rotary activities” or in some activity that is obviously risky, the brokers must be advised beforehand, e.g. a major fireworks display or extensive fund raising activities using vehicles, boats or aircraft. Clubs cannot assume that everything they do is automatically covered. If in any doubt contact the insurance brokers, and ensure that written confirmation is received of any advice given by them. The district insurance policy does not cover what is termed “professional negligence”, for example offering to run a fair game to make money. If it flops, then the district policy does not provide cover. For further information or explanation, please contact the District insurance brokers: Gary Dome (Leigh) (Milson) Crombie Lockwood (NZ) Limited, Private Bag 11007, Palmerston North 4442 Cell: 027 442 9168 Bus: 06 350 2556 Fax: 06 356 9024 Email: [email protected]

12.2.8 Charitable Trusts / Tax Rotary clubs do not meet the criteria for approval as charitable bodies as defined by the Charities Act 2005 and to address this issue most Clubs have established Charitable Trusts to protect funds raised for charitable purposes. However Charitable Trusts must be operated correctly and ALL Club Officers, especially Presidents and Treasurers should make themselves familiar with the requirements of the Trust and the Club’s tax obligations, and to be aware and support the responsibilities of the Trustees. To assist donors supporting the Rotary Foundation, the final Polio Eradication funding drive, or other special activities, the District will consolidate donations prior to forwarding them to The NZ Rotary Clubs Charitable Trust. Such funds will be clearly identified with the donor Clubs. If you require further information as to how to use The NZ Rotary Clubs Charitable Trust please contact the District Foundation Administrator (Giving). 45

Brief guidelines in relation to Charitable Trusts     

  

Clubs must keep their bank accounts and financial accounts separate from their Charitable Trust, which must keep its own bank account i.e. they are two separate entities. Requests for grants from the Trust by the Club should be made in writing addressed to the Trustees. Always bear in mind that Trustees have a duty to act independently of the Club, and must act in the best interests of the beneficiaries, not the Club membership. However, the Trust’s activities should complement the Club’s community activities. Meetings for both the Club and the Trust must be held separately and recorded that way. Trustees must act prudently and with skill so their number should include experienced people. However, the Trustees also need to be in tune with the Club’s charitable activities so consideration may be given to including Club Board members as Trustees. Several models for Trustee appointment are available. Clubs must complete a return to the IRD each financial year recording both income received and expenses incurred by the Club. Trustees of the Charitable Trust must file an Annual Return together with a set of the Trust’s annual accounts within 6 months of the end of the financial year. The Annual Return form can be downloaded from the Charities Commission website. The NZ Rotary Clubs Charitable Trust (administered by NZ Guardian Trust) has approval as an umbrella trust to be used for all international, national and district special funds. The objects are sufficiently wide to cover almost all Rotary projects including international projects. The trust may be used for Paul Harris Fellowships and qualify for deductibility for income tax purposes.

Donee status Although Rotary Clubs cannot themselves be approved as charities they may be able to acquire an intermediate tax status as a “donee”. This enables donations to the Club in excess of $5 to attract a tax rebate (for individuals) or a deduction (for companies) but the Club still pays tax on its profit. Donee status is obtained from IRD, but is not automatic. Should Clubs or Trustees have concerns, questions or require support with tax, governance of the Trust, Foundation donations / contributions or any other related issue they can contact any of the following: District Foundation Administrator Christopher Robertson (Port Nicholson) Res: 04 472 8173 Cell: 027 602 7947 Email: [email protected]

Separation of Rotary Clubs and Rotary Charitable Trusts The widespread establishment of Rotary Charitable Trusts with Trustees appointed by a settlor Rotary Club prompts some simple rules to preserve the integrity of Clubs (usually an Incorporated Society), the settled Trusts (an equitable arrangement) and Rotary itself. A Rotary Club is a membership-based entity. Its affairs are separate from those of the Trust. Club members are not members of the Trust although their voluntary efforts may enable the Trust to conduct business – e.g. fundraising. The governance of the Club should be separate from the governance of the Trust. Each entity should have separate meetings, bank accounts, minutes, etc. 46

Trusts registered with the NZ Charities Commission are “approved donees” and exempt income tax provided they do not make overseas remittances from business income (events, fund-raisers, etc). Donated monies are not included in this restriction. Receipts issued by “approved donees”, for donations of at least $5, are required to evidence tax deductions for charitable donations. A Club is not an “approved donee”. Club accounts should not be vehicles for handling monies for which donors expect to receive an “approved donee” tax receipt (e.g. depositing donations plus subscriptions into the Club account and subsequently receiving an “approved donee” receipt for the ‘donation’ from the Trust). To avoid doubt, Club members wishing to receive “approved donee” receipts should be urged to donate directly to the registered charity (E.g. the Trust). The Club is liable for tax on business income but may also be eligible for a rebate of $1000. Donations to “approved donees” are deductible business expenses. (Entities listed in Schedule 32 Income Tax 2007, such as The New Zealand Rotary Clubs Charitable Trust, are also “approved donees”). Monies received by a Club during the normal course of its meetings (e.g. meals, a sergeant’s session, the ‘box’, raffles for donated/purchased goods, etc) or business activities (e.g. fundraising) must be properly accounted for by the Club (i.e. mutuality is exempt whereas business activity is taxable). Goods or services cannot be tagged to donations; neither may they be included on an “approved donee” tax receipt. (E.g. entry price to an event may not include a ‘mandatory’ donation). Clubs or Trusts conducting business that results in taxable supplies of $60,000 or more per annum must also register for GST. Clubs must make annual (public) returns to the Registrar of Incorporated Societies; Trusts must make annual (public) returns to the Charities Commission. If Clubs or Trusts are in any doubt about these matters, they are urged to seek professional advice as non-compliance with prevailing Income and Charities Acts jeopardises the integrity of Rotary in our community.

The Rotary Foundation

The Rotary Foundation is a not-for-profit corporation, supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vision of a better world. It is registered in the USA as an International Charitable Trust. The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill and peace through the improvement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty. Its motto is simply “Doing Good in the World”. The Rotary Foundation offers two types of grants: District Grants and Global Grants: Rotary Foundation District Grants are block grants made available to districts to fund community and international service projects. District Grants allow Rotarians to respond quickly to urgent needs, and to plan smaller projects both in their communities and abroad, that fit within the mission of The Rotary Foundation. Clubs will be advised when funds are available for these purposes. Rotary Foundation Global Grants support larger humanitarian and educational projects with sustainable, high-impact outcomes; as well as scholars and vocational training teams in one of the following six areas of focus:  Peace and conflict resolution / prevention  Disease prevention / treatment  Water and Sanitation  Maternal and child health  Education and basic literacy  Economic and community development 12.4.1 Rotary Foundation Chair and Committee District Chair

12.4.2 Grants – Timelines, Applications and Funding The District Grants Sub-Committee manages the District Grants process. The general criteria for project or activity funding is detailed in The Rotary Foundation section of the District website at http://www.rotary9940.org.nz District Grants – Clubs and clusters seeking a District Grant should complete a District Grant Preliminary Application Form (available from the forms section of the District Website) by 31 May 2014. Grant approvals will be advised by 31 July 2014. As a general policy, District Grants will require a “dollar for dollar” (1:1) contribution from the applicant club/cluster. A waiver for a portion or all of the 1:1 subsidy will be considered by the District Foundation Committee on a case-by-case basis. Global Grants – The minimum amount for a project or activity to qualify for a Global Grant is US$30,000. The maximum is US$400,000. The Foundation matches club and individual contributions at 50 percent, while District held Foundation Funds (DDF) are matched at 100 percent. Applications for Global Grants are completed using a two-step process involving first a proposal and then an application. The District Grants Sub-Committee will assist the drafting of the initial proposal. 52

12.4.3 Scholarships Vocational Scholarships – These will be funded through a Global Grant, which will involve the sharing of costs between the Foundation and the District, or separately from a District Grant. The expectation is that the District will normally favour the Global Grant approach. It is important therefore that clubs understand that the Foundation will only contribute to a Global Grant scholarship application in future if the nominated candidate’s proposed field of study falls within one or more of the six designated prime areas of focus The Foundation has identified (see above). Global Grants will be for a minimum of US$30,000. District Grants have no minimum or maximum limit. Peace and Conflict Resolution Scholarships – Two scholarship streams are available under The Rotary Foundation’s Peace and Conflict Resolution programme. The first is a two-year Masters programme in one of seven Rotary peace centre qualified universities. The second is a three-month, short-term certificate course at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok.

12.4.4 Foundation Fundraising and Promotion The District Rotary Foundation Fund-raising and Promotion Sub-Committee promotes giving to The Rotary Foundation, and by doing so raises the awareness of the Foundation in District 9940. Annual giving is the cornerstone of The Rotary Foundation’s funding efforts. District 9940 clubs are asked to set annual giving goals both to the Annual Programmes Fund and to PolioPlus, and Rotarians are invited to make contributions to help achieve these goals. The 2013-14 goal for annual giving is NZ$100.00 per capita. There are several ways in which Rotarians can personally contribute to The Foundation. Individual contributions through the Club goal setting processing is vital to the ‘Every Rotarian, Every Year’ effort, in building sustained support for The Rotary Foundation’s Annual Programs Fund, the primary source of funding for the Foundation’s programmes. The processing of club and individual contributions to The Rotary Foundation, and to PolioPlus, is managed through The New Zealand Rotary Clubs Charitable Trust (NZRCCT). This vehicle ensures that all such contributions meet NZ Trust and Charitable requirements, and therefore qualify for appropriate tax exemption status. It also provides a more reactive service to clubs seeking to track transactions as well as gaining up-to-date details of contribution history. Full details may be obtained from the District 9940 Rotary Foundation Administrator (Giving), Christopher Robertson (details above). All funds to be sent to The Rotary Foundation must be forwarded to the District Foundation Administrator for consolidation in the District 9940 Foundation Account, and to ensure that the correct taxation receipts are issued.

Benefactor. A Benefactor informs the Foundation that he/she has willed an outright gift of (at least) US$1,000 to the Foundation’s Permanent Fund. For further information about this programme and how to become a Benefactor, the on-line link is http://www.rotary.org/en/contribute, then follow the link to ‘Individual Recognition’. Centurion. A Centurion is a Rotarian who undertakes to contribute at least the sum of NZ$100.00 per annum to the Foundation. Further details may be obtained from the Centurion Club Administrator, Christopher Robertson (details above). Personal Participation in Projects. Rotarians can personally and physically assist in Foundation programmes by travelling to the project and taking part. Examples of this are Polio Immunisation activities, and Vocational and Humanitarian projects in support of the Foundation’s 6 Areas of Focus.

12.4.5 PolioPlus and Polio Awareness The PolioPlus and Polio Awareness Sub-Committee promotes and supports both the PolioPlus / Gates Challenge and raising the awareness of the importance of immunisation in New Zealand. PolioPlus, the most ambitious programme in Rotary’s history, is the volunteer arm of the global partnership dedicated to eradicating polio. For more than 20 years, Rotary has led the private sector in the global effort to rid the world of this crippling disease. Today, PolioPlus and its role in the initiative is recognised worldwide as a model of public-private cooperation in pursuit of a humanitarian goal. Since the programme’s inception in 1985, more than two billion children have received the oral polio vaccine. In addition to providing financial and volunteer support, Rotary works to urge support from other public and private sector partners. This includes the campaign to End Polio Now, inspired by the extraordinary challenge grants received from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Rotary’s US$200 Million Challenge is the Rotary Foundation’s response to the two grants totalling US$355 million from the Gates Foundation to help eradicate polio. Every dollar given to PolioPlus will be counted toward the US$200 million match, which was completed by February 2012. Clubs have been urged to make a pledge to assist meeting the Gates Challenge, in addition to their regular annual contributions to The Rotary Foundation. Additionally, Rotary in New Zealand is working with National Public Health Authorities to raise awareness in the community of the importance of continuing the immunisation of children in New Zealand against the threat of poliomyelitis.

13.1.3 Emergency Response Kits Emergency Response Kits (ERK’s) were first introduced to New Zealand in 1983 as Emergency Boxes by the Rotary Club of Eastern Hutt, and enthusiastically endorsed by then District Governor, and now Past RI World President Bill Boyd. ERK’s are used as first-Response survival kits in emergencies in the South Pacific Islands, can be carried by hand and provide essential items for immediate basic needs for people to be able to camp in their damaged homes whilst they get on with cleaning up and re-establishing themselves. Each ERK contains essential household cooking, eating and cleaning items, clothing, tools, toilet and medicine items. The single NZ standardised Filled Plastic ERK has a tap and can be used to hold water or food once the contents have been taken out. Prepositioned stocks of ERKs are held in readiness by Rotary Clubs in Samoa & Fiji for immediate distribution when needed with backup and replenishment stocks of ERK’s held in Auckland & Christchurch ready to be air lifted by the NZ Government through NZ AID to any disaster areas in the South Pacific Islands. Deployment is handled through the local Rotary club(s) on the affected islands. In January 2012 over 400 ERK’s were distributed immediately after the Fiji Floods from stocks held by local Rotarians. A total of more than 1200 ERKs were distributed well before other aid after the 2009 Fijian Floods & Samoan Tsunami and the 2010 Cook Islands & Fiji cyclones. Emergency Response Kits cost approximately $600 each. Donations may be made by internet banking to RNZWCS Ltd account no: 03 1702 0192208 01.

13.1.4 ShelterBox – Global Rotary Club Project ShelterBox is an international disaster relief charity that provides emergency shelter and life-saving supplies to families around the world who are affected by disasters. ShelterBox responds to earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, hurricanes, landslides, typhoons and conflict by delivering lifesaving aid to families at a time when they need it the most. In March 2012, formal recognition of the charity by Rotary International resulted in ShelterBox being appointed the very first, “Rotary Project Partner”. The ShelterBox solution to disaster relief is to provide a large box, tailored to each type of disaster which typically contains a disaster relief tent for an extended family, blankets, water purification and storage equipment, cooking utensils, a stove, a basic tool kit, a children's activity pack and other essential items. 65

ShelterBox relies entirely on public donations and could not operate without the generosity of Rotarians and people the world over. A ShelterBox can be sponsored for NZ$1,500 – which takes into account the cost of all materials, its packing, storage, transport worldwide and delivery to families in need at a time of disaster by our own ShelterBox volunteers. Highly trained ShelterBox Response Team volunteers or SRT’s, distribute boxes on the ground, working closely with national and local government, international aid agencies and Rotary clubs worldwide. To date over I million people have been provided with shelter, warmth and dignity following more than 200 disasters, in over 75 countries.

13.1.7 China Friendship and Projects Strong relationships have already been established with CAFIU (Chinese Association for International Understanding). This Committee manages the relationship between Rotary in New Zealand and CAFIU and explores the opportunities that exist for humanitarian support in China. Provision of resources for the new Zha Shui School has been the result of assessment of opportunities in 2005 and 2006 resulting in matching grant applications with The Rotary Foundation and partnering with the Rotary Club of Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon, Hong Kong. During the 2012-13 Rotary year an opportunity existed for clubs in RI District 9940 to sponsor and assist with the implementation of Vocational Friendship visits in association with CAFIU and Shaanxi Province.

13.1.8 Interplast Australia and New Zealand Interplast’s intentions are simple. They exist to repair bodies and rebuild lives. For 30 years, Interplast has been sending volunteer teams of fully qualified, plastic and reconstructive surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and allied health professionals to developing countries in the Asia Pacific region to facilitate surgical treatment and training to local medical personnel. Volunteers from across Australia and New Zealand provide free treatment to people living with a disability due to congenital conditions such as cleft lip and cleft palate, or acquired conditions such as burn scar contractures. Treatment is targeted to people who would otherwise not be able to afford or access these services. For Interplast, it’s all about restoring function and enabling full engagement in society. Interplast also pride themselves on their intention to leave a legacy. Focusing heavily on facilitating medical training and mentoring for in-country medical personnel by supporting and building the capacity of local health services, their aim is to eventually do themselves out of a job. Interplast has worked in 25 developing countries, implemented over 500 surgical and training program activities, sent over 600 volunteers, enabled over 32,000 consultations, performed over 21,000 lifechanging procedures and trained countless medical staff. Rotarians have been part of the Interplast story from the beginning and continue to play an integral role. Help them do more. More information on Interplast can be found at: www.interplast.org.au.

Mission Statement “To provide within Australia and New Zealand, medical treatment for children 15 years and under, who are from developing countries, for life saving and/or dignity restoring surgery not available to them in their own country” Objectives  To provide hope where there is no hope  To restore human dignity to human life  To transform a child’s life  To provide the best medical and surgical expertise available  To provide an opportunity to mend broken lives of young people from developing countries ROMAC is a humanitarian Rotary programme which has been in operation since 1988. Rotarians volunteer their time which encompasses and is endorsed by all 29 Australian and New Zealand Districts. Eminent Australian and New Zealand surgeons donate their time for the treatment of our patients and in return the surgeons get unique opportunities to develop their specialist skills Children from 20 developing countries, many of whom have been disfigured by accidents and/or congenital conditions, receive urgent medical treatment that has given them new hope. During their recovery after surgery, the children and a parent are hosted by NZ families, fostering international learning and understanding in the process. Almost 100% of money received is spent on the children. 13.1.8 ROMAC NZ Charitable Trust (Charities Registration # CC45367) www.romac.org.nz Chairman, Australasian Board

13.2.3 Rotary International Youth Exchange The most powerful force in the promotion of international understanding and peace is exposure to different cultures. The world becomes a smaller, friendlier place when we learn that all people – regardless of nationality – desire the same basic things: a safe, comfortable, environment that allows for a rich and satisfying life for our children and ourselves. Youth Exchange provides thousands of young people with the opportunity to meet people from other lands and to experience their cultures. This plants the seeds for a lifetime of international understanding. The programme provides Clubs with opportunity to host an overseas secondary school student (aged between 16 and 18) for a year to experience life and culture in a foreign country to further their education and personal development. While not a direct exchange, clubs can also provide the same opportunity for a Kiwi student to travel overseas for twelve months. Students arriving in New Zealand generally commence the exchange in July. Clubs will need 3-4 host families and a mentor to advise and support the student during their stay. Kiwi students leave in January for their twelve month exchanges. They need a local District 9940 club to assess and sponsor them. This has very limited financial implications for orientation and uniform, but does require that the club appoint a NZ mentor to support the student. Without question this programme not only creates friendships between students, hosts and clubs lasting a lifetime, but also enables young men and women to realise their potential and start them on a journey for roles as Rotarians and community leaders.

13.2.5 New Zealand – Australia Matched Student Exchange This programme is designed to foster international understanding between Australians and New Zealanders. Although arranged by the District committee it is largely run on a family-to-family basis with support from Clubs. Students need to possess good knowledge, be responsible, of good character, and most importantly, be able to mix well. The committee administers the programme of matched exchanges whereby Secondary School students from our district, aged between 13.5 and 16 years on January 1, exchange with Australian students. The New Zealand student lives with the family of their matched Australian student, for 13 weeks attending the same school. The Australian student accompanies the New Zealand student back to their New Zealand home and school for 13 weeks. New Zealand – Australia Matched Student Exchange Chair and Committee

13.2.8 RYDA (Rotary Youth Driver Awareness) ROAD SAFETY EDUCATION LIMITED – Providers of the RYDA Program Road Safety Education Limited (RSE) is a not-for-profit organisation with a commitment to the reduction of youth road trauma in New Zealand through the delivery of quality, evidence based road safety education programs. Young people aged 15-24 represent less than 15% of the population yet account for around one quarter of deaths and injuries on our roads. Youth road trauma is a community problem that needs a community response. Working with our Community Partner Rotary, Founding Co-Sponsors BOC and NZ Steel we are able to minimise the student participation cost and ensure that our programs are accessible to all young people in our community. The RYDA Program is conducted at an out of school venue, chosen to highlight the road safety messages and is targeted at 15-17 year olds as they begin to drive or ride in cars driven by their peers. During RYDA, students take part in six interactive sessions on a broad range of road safety topics. Over 30,000 students have attended the RYDA program across venues from Kaitaia to Timaru. RYDA is an Approved Project of All Rotary Districts of New Zealand. District Chair

13.2.9 Peer Support Peer Support is a secondary schools programme, which seeks to assist the integration of new students into a school. Senior students (Years 12 or 13), after training by Tutor Teachers, are allocated (usually in pairs), to a small group of year 9 Students. During a specified time allocation within the school programme they confer with these students on issues about settling into school, or peer pressure, bullying, or how to deal with cultural issues and so on. Having successfully completed their leadership training and implemented the programme, senior students are able to earn credits for their CV’s from the provisions of the unit standard 76

requirements. The Peer Support Trust of New Zealand administers the programme, with trustees from each Rotary district. In all Districts, teachers are trained in two-day workshops provided by tutor consultants (working in pairs) who are very experienced in running the programme and are accredited nationally. The peer support programme was introduced into New Zealand by Rotary Clubs in 1985 and continues to be administered successfully in 70 per cent of our schools. Many Clubs assist schools to implement this programme by covering the modest cost of certificates, or manuals for students, or by helping a teacher to attend a training course. For further information on the implementation of this programme in District 9940 contact: Peer Support Trust for NZ Chair

13.2.10 National Children’s Day National Children’s Day will be observed on the first Sunday in March 2014. The initial idea for Children’s Day came from a suggestion by the first Children’s Commissioner, Ian Hassall, in 1991. His suggestion was developed and progressed by the Rotary Club of Wellington. In conjunction with the next Children’s Commissioner, Laurie O’Reilly, the idea was then mooted to Government. The third Children’s Commissioner and former Minister of Youth Affairs, Roger McClay, then endorsed the concept along with several other Ministers. In 1999, the National Steering Group was established to progress the concept of Children’s Day. Interested government and non-government agencies were represented on this group. The inaugural National Children’s Day was held on Sunday 29 October 2000. The object of Children’s Day is to celebrate and emphasise the value, the importance and the needs of children throughout the nation, and so to promote conditions in which the current alarming rates of child abuse and youth suicide will be alleviated. Widespread, local community involvement is expected in celebrating Children’s Day. No doubt many Rotary Clubs, with their experience in activities involving youth will find Children’s Day a fitting and attractive opportunity for service, of potentially permanent value to the nation. The day is promoted by a steering committee, which includes: District Rotary Representative Mark Woodward (Carolyn) (Wellington) PO Box 12706, Wellington 6144 Res: 04 971 7882 Email: [email protected]

13.2.11 DARE Following on from a Rotary initiative in 1987, DARE NZ was developed and launched in 1990 after extensive trials and consultation between the Departments of Education, Health, Drugs Advisory Committee, NZ Educational Institute, PPTA, and Police. The DARE Foundation and Police administer the programmes nationally. Rotary’s continued support of this relationship helps maintain nationwide delivery, promotion of community engagement and programme facilitation. There are now seven DARE programmes:  DARE to make a Choice: is an education programme for 8-12 year olds with a focus on developing skills in decision-making, assertiveness and handling peer pressure. The programme is delivered in the classroom in a unique partnership of the Teacher and a specially trained Police Education Officer  Tena Kowhiria: is a Te Reo version of DARE to make a Choice, with teaching materials developed by Maori for implementation in Kura Kaupapa schools.  DARE to Drive to Survive: for senior secondary school students - the programme aims to help young people make informed and responsible decisions about alternatives to driving and drinking alcohol, thus reducing death and injury from car crashes.  DARE Reducing the Harm: is an action plan to help secondary schools and their communities reduce illicit drug harm.  DARE to Support your Kids: is an education programme for parents and caregivers. Participants attending workshops participate in activities that provide ideas and strategies for enhancing communication and relationships within the family, and also receive information about drugs, including signs and symptoms they should be aware of as parents.  DARE to be You: is a positive personal change programme for young adolescents identified as in need of assistance. It aims to help build and reinforce young people’s own unique sense of who they are, and to provide them with practical skills they can take forward into life, such as decision-making, problem-solving, anger management, and is adaptable around 5 different themes of Family Issues, Disability, Diversity, Self Esteem, and Conservation  DARE to Move On: was developed for youth at risk, and challenges young people to look at the areas of conflict and turmoil in their lives and to help them overcome the obstacles in their path that have impacted on their behaviour to date. There are local DARE Support Committees in the District. Contact Louise Compton Community Liaison PO Box 50906, Porirua, 5240 Bus: 04 238 3021 Email: [email protected]

13.2.12 Cure Kids (Child Health Research Foundation) The Child Health Research Foundation was established by Rotary in 1971 to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of Rotary in New Zealand. Rotary New Zealand was petitioned by the late Dr Ronald Caughey who was a leading pediatrician and member of the Rotary Club of Auckland, to set up the Foundation to encourage funding for research into child health, because of concerns about New Zealand’s worsening child mortality rate. New Zealand had previously led the world with the lowest infant mortality rate but by 1970 had slipped to sixth place. Under the leadership of District Governor (D292) the late Bob Yarnton, Rotarians took the challenge to establish the Foundation as their Golden Jubilee project in 1971. Less than six months later $250,000 was presented to Foundation Chairman Sir James Doig. In 1996 Rotarians made another major fundraising effort raising $870,000 for the Foundation. 78

Today the Foundation is known as Cure Kids and with the ongoing support of Rotary, new initiatives are continually being developed to raise funds for medical research into children’s life threatening illnesses. To date over $25m has been directed into this research and has achieved world first breakthroughs in the areas of Childhood Leukemia, Long QT, Cot Death, Cystic Fibrosis, genetic research, and asthma. Over 40 research projects are currently in progress. Cure Kids Supports Rotary Polio Plus Campaign Rotary funded the Child Health Research Foundation into being and has supported Cure Kids financially over many years. Rotary has had an initiative to eradicate polio worldwide and Rotary New Zealand has launched a fundraising campaign to provide polio vaccinations to the last hardest to reach countries.

13.2.13 Life Education Trust Behaviours developed during childhood and early adolescence are predictors of adult behaviours. Children and adolescents are faced with all the challenges of developing their own identity. A need to fit in, a need to belong, a need to like the person in the mirror, be comfortable with who they are. Bullying, falling out with friends, the worry of being different and peer pressure are just some of the emotions growing children live with daily. Therefore, children and adolescents need to understand the development of their brain during puberty and the impact healthy choices during this time will have on their lives. Life Education is a health resource, working within the curriculum we offer schools a range of lessons grouped into five strands; self-esteem, food and nutrition, body knowledge, social relationships and substances. We’re proud of our independence and don’t receive any government funds. Our philosophy is based on three principles: 1. You are unique. “Never before and never again will there be another child just like you.” We try to make each child feel comfortable with their identity and to show them how special they are. 2. The human body is magnificent. We capture children’s imagination, teaching them the magnificence of the human body, how it functions and what its needs are. 3. We need to support and respect each other, because of the delicate and complex nature of life Life Education started in New Zealand in 1987 when founder Trevor Grice brought the programme from Australia after seeing the immense benefits. Today we have 330 volunteer trustees working tirelessly across 38 Community Trusts operating 44 mobile classrooms. Each year over 220,000 primary and intermediate aged children from 1,350 schools attend lessons in Life education classrooms. 79

Rotary have been an integral part of Life Education’s success’s both in helping establish local Trusts, band giving ongoing support.

How Students are Sponsored There are four ways Rotary clubs and other sponsors can help a student.  Day sponsorship. Donate $1,000 to gain naming rights for one day and the opportunity to promote your company’s products.  Student sponsorship. Donate $300 to fund a student’s participation in NZBW.  Student travel subsidy. As above - assistance with student travel.  Business Advisors. Donate approximately 20 hours of your time over the week to advise a student team. Benefits of sponsoring NZBW  The opportunity for you to make a positive investment in our young people by giving students the chance to experience first hand the ups and downs of the business world.  As a business advisor you will be able to pass on your knowledge and experience to the next generation of business people and pit your own abilities against the business simulation programme.  A chance to participate in a community project and gain acknowledgement of your contribution through the media and schools. The course dates are 14 – 19 July 2013 Rotary Liaison Christine Jones (Milson) 193 Polson Drive, RD1, Palmerston North Res: 06 354 5859 Bus: 06 350 1692 Cell: 027 516 7819 Email: [email protected]

13.4 Community Service Committee

Community Service is the opportunity Rotary clubs have to implement club projects and activities that improve life in the local community. 13.4.1 Community Service Chair Wendy Creurer (Porirua Sundown) Bus: 04 238 9820 Cell: 021 136 6714 Email: [email protected]

13.4.2 Healthy Heroes Programme Healthy heroes stems from an initiative by the Rotary Club of Wellington North and has been adopted by Rotary Clubs in District 9940 and 9970. The role of a Rotary Club entails approaching and working with schools to introduce the programme and cover the modest cost of programme materials. Studies show that 31% of New Zealand children are overweight or obese, and this is carried through to adulthood. As a result obesity related illnesses are on the increase, and health costs are mounting. 83

Healthy Heroes challenges children 8 – 12 years to complete five daily tasks on five days out of seven for a period of 9 weeks. The challenges relate to physical activity, healthy eating, adequate sleep, mind stretching and helping others. The aim is to build healthy habits that will last a lifetime. While the point of contact is the school it is implemented at home and parents /caregivers record results online or by the school who keep a register of participants, and their performance each week. The Rotary Club's role is to support the school. Website: www.healthyheroes.org.nz Contact

13.4.3 Literacy Rotary supports the global development of enhanced literacy skills, both for children and adults, by facilitating the implementation of programs by Clubs. There is evidence globally that a lack of basic literacy skills accentuates health problems. Greater literacy skills can lead to increased confidence and knowledge, with appropriate health treatment regimens being followed. Those with low levels of literacy have higher requirements for public welfare assistance and are over-represented in correctional institutions. Each Club will be encouraged to develop a Literacy project, either at home or abroad. Ideas will be shared and promoted throughout the District, with the intention of developing a number of local coordinators, from Clubs and clusters throughout the District. A key intention, supporting the global initiative of past Rotary International President Bill Boyd, is to provide a coordinated and comprehensive distribution of Usborne Dictionaries throughout the District, particularly to low decile schools. It is intended to facilitate bi-annual orders for bulk deliveries of Dictionaries, with easy access collection points. Orders for the Dictionaries must be sent to [email protected] and be received by the Chair before March and September each year.

13.4.6 Trees for Survival

Trees for Survival is a charitable trust which promotes the growing and planting of native trees to help control soil erosion. By encouraging organisations to sponsor and support school students in tending tree seedlings and planting them out on eroding land, the programme brings communities together to protect New Zealand’s soil and water resources. The usual pattern is that a supporting organisation, such as a Rotary club arranges sponsorship of a plant growing unit – a special shade house at a school. The students grow native plants from seedlings to a plantable age of about 12 months. Each unit can grow up to 1,500 plants per year. Regional Council staff locate eroding sites suitable for stabilisation by planting and the various parties, including the students, plant out the trees. Rotary provides support to the programme throughout New Zealand. DVDs or brochures that outline the TFS programme are available by contacting the National Manager, and further information can be obtained from the Wellington Committee: National Manager

J R McKenzie Trust Established in 1940 by Rotarian Sir John McKenzie, the Trust makes grants to charitable organisations mainly in the areas of social services, health and community development. It seeks to contribute to longer term change - this means building a society where fewer people are in dire straits, and where there is less need for health and social services over time. The Trust’s focus for 2010-2014 is on building and supporting strong, inclusive and socially just communities. Its two key areas of attention are Disadvantaged Children and their Families, and Māori Development. It provides funding to some community organisations which share its goals, and which work in one of more of the following ways:  Capacity development – Activities that strengthen leadership, participation and/or community skills and resources.  Māori development – Tino rangitiratanga/self-determined development activities.  Social change – Advocacy and other work towards social and systemic change. The Trust has a two-stage funding process. The first stage is a brief Outline application designed to give us an idea of what an organisation wants to achieve. Some applicants are then invited to submit a full proposal. There are two funding rounds each year, organisations may apply once per year. Please check on the website each year for dates. The founder ensured that Rotary would play an important part in the administration of the 88

Trust. The Board includes a Trustee from each of the Rotary Districts, who chairs a regional panel. These panels provide crucial local input in grant making decisions.

13.5.11 Probus The Probus movement had its genesis in two ancestors - both in the UK and both established by Rotary Clubs. The first club in the South Pacific region was the Probus Club of Kapiti Coast, New Zealand, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Paraparaumu in 1974, followed by the Probus Club of Hunters Hill, NSW Australia in 1976. Today there are 2268 accredited Probus Clubs in Australia and New Zealand with an estimated membership of over 190,000. Probus- Tomorrow’s Vision for Active retirees For information on district Probus matters and sponsoring the formation of a new Probus Club, please contact your Rotary District Probus Committee.

Appendix 1 – What is Rotary A1.1 Description of Rotary Our Core Essence A worldwide network of inspired individuals who translate their passions into relevant social causes to change lives in communities Projects Rotary is a global network of community volunteers. Rotary members are business, professional, and community leaders who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards, and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Over 33,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas initiate service projects to address today's challenges, including illiteracy, disease, hunger, poverty, lack of clean water, and environmental concerns. Rotary clubs participate in a broad range of humanitarian, intercultural, and educational activities designed to improve the human condition. Rotary's humanitarian grants support club projects that provide health care and medical supplies, clean water, food, job training, youth development, and education to millions of people in need, particularly in the developing world. In addition, Rotary provides more than 200 grants each year to fund the work of Rotary volunteers, who travel to parts of the world where their technical expertise and knowledge are most needed to alleviate hardship and solve problems. Peace Rotary builds understanding through international scholarships, exchange programs, and humanitarian grants. The Rotary Centres for International Studies in peace and conflict resolution is an innovative program designed to educate tomorrow's peacemakers. Hosted at seven leading universities around the globe, the program funds, since 2002, up to 110 Rotary World Peace Fellows for graduate studies in international relations, conflict studies, and negotiation - providing promising leaders the tools to further the cause of peace. The Rotary Peace and Conflict Studies Program in Thailand offers mid- to upper-level professionals a short-term alternative for training in conflict resolution and mediation strategies. Since 1947, some 47,000 students from 130 countries have studied abroad as Rotary Ambassadorial Scholars. In 2010-2011 nearly 500 scholars from some 50 countries studied in more than 60 countries. Rotary's Group Study Exchange has helped more than 57,000 young professionals (almost 12,000 teams) explore their career fields in 100 countries. Each year, some 8,000 secondary school students from 80 countries experience life in another country through Rotary Youth Exchange. Polio Eradication In 1985, Rotary launched Polio Plus, an ambitious program to immunize the world's children against polio. Rotary's grassroots leadership, volunteer support, and initial funding for vaccine provided the catalyst for the World Health Assembly's resolution in 1988 to eradicate polio 96

worldwide. Spearheading partners of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative are the World Health Organization, Rotary International, US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, and UNICEF. In 1985 polio paralysed more than 350,000 children in 125 countries every year. Since then polio cases have been slashed by 99 % worldwide, with fewer than 1,300 reported cases in 2010 and the world stands on the threshold of eradicating the disease. Rotary has contributed more than $1 billion and countless volunteer hours to immunize more than two billion children in 122 countries. The savings to be realized from polio eradication is potentially as high as $1.5 billion per year funds that could be used to address other public health priorities. The savings in human suffering will be immeasurable. Your contribution will help Rotary raise $200 million to match $355 million in challenge grants received from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Progress Paul P. Harris formed the world's first service club, the Rotary Club of Chicago, on 23 February 1905. More than a century later, Rotary remains dedicated to improving communities, relations between peoples, and world peace and understanding. Rotary's principal motto is Service Above Self. During World War II, Rotary members became increasingly involved in promoting international understanding. A Rotary conference held in London in 1942 was a precursor to the development of UNESCO, and 49 Rotary members served as delegates and consultants at the founding of the United Nations in 1945. Today, Rotary holds the highest consultative status given by the United Nations to nongovernmental organizations. In this capacity, Rotary has a voice within the UN system, allowing access to its people and resources worldwide. People Belonging to a Rotary club gives men and women an enjoyable and organized way to make a contribution to their community. Rotary members meet weekly to plan club, community, and international service activities. By using their skills and expertise globally, members also enhance their professional network, career development, and cross-cultural understanding. Rotary clubs are non-religious, non-political, and open to every race, culture, and creed. Members represent a cross-section of local business, professional, and community leaders.

A1.2 The Objects of Rotary The object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and in particular, to encourage and foster: First The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service. Second High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society. Third The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business and community life. Fourth The advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service. A1.3 The Four-way Test Of things we think, say and do:Is it the TRUTH? Is it FAIR to all concerned? Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned? A1.4 Avenues of Service Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the effective functioning of the club. Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others through their vocations and practice high ethical standards. Community Service covers the projects and activities the club undertakes to improve life in its community. International Service encompasses actions taken to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the globe and promote world understanding and peace. New Generations Service focuses more attention on the Rotary programs for youth and young adults, exposing them to the core values of Rotary, and causing the participants to consider Rotary membership later in their lives.

98

A1.5 Club Leadership Plan Under the Club Leadership Plan there are five recommended standing committees. Each club can add additional committees or sub-committees to meet the special interests of their club or ongoing projects. Committees and subcommittees can also be eliminated if the club does not participate in that service. The recommended committees are: 1. Club administration 2. Membership 3. Public relations 4. Service projects 5. Rotary Foundation

A4.2 District Governor’s Chain The early history of the District Governor’s Chain of Office is not known with certainty. It is certainly believed to have been donated by Sir Alexander Roberts, the first President of the Rotary Club of Wellington, the first Rotary Club in New Zealand. Sir Alexander received the charter from Lieutenant Colonel Raiston, President of the Rotary Club of Halifax, Canada and Commissioner to establish Rotary in Australia and New Zealand. The Charter was dated 1 May 1921. Sir Alexander Roberts was District Governor, for the whole of New Zealand, in 1928–29 and presented the chain at the September District Assembly. New Zealand was progressively subdivided until 1956 when the present District came into being with PDG Stuart Hayton as its first Governor. Sir Alexander was knighted, on the recommendation of the British Government, for his work in connection with the New Zealand exhibit at the British Empire Exhibition (Wembley) in 1924. He was Managing Director of Murray Roberts & Co Ltd and Mayor of Lower Hutt from 1929–1931. A4.3 Taupiripiri The Speaker’s Cane Taupiripiri is the cane of the Chief Spokesman and recognises the qualities of leadership and authority inherited or vested in him. The name in simple terms means ‘walking arm-in-arm, togetherness’ – it embraces all those things that give people dignity and worth, symbolising creation, family, community and society. The Rotary Club of New Plymouth West presented the cane in 1982 to the then Governor Stewart Frame, to provide a Maori dimension to the office and role of the Governor of District 9940, our principal spokesman. It remains their taonga, their property, and each year is presented to the current governor during the official club visit. Taupiripiri has 5 sections  The grip with the birds head and closed beak symbolises listening, observing, being informed so as to speak authoritatively for or against, but always with the objective of regulating order. [A speaker of authority in the Maori world is referred to as ‘He manu korero’ – to talk like a bird in full song.]  The second section symbolises the creation – man and woman – the environment.  The third section symbolises the formation and development of people.  The fourth section symbolises the evening of our lives.  The fifth section, which is not carved, represents the unknown, the tomorrows, and the after-life. Taupiripiri represents all the ideals of Rotary. Its name will remain for us as a reminder to walk arm-in-arm, to strive for all things together. The cane is the work of a Ngati Porou carver who was apprenticed to a Ngapuhi master carver of the old tradition, and this was the first test by which he would be judged.

Vision Having fun and doing good Values Of the things we say or do:  Is it the truth?  Is it fair to all concerned?  Will it build goodwill and better friendships?  Will it be beneficial to all concerned Challenges Public image  Rotary is NZ’s best kept secret  How do we tell “our story”? Increasing membership  Membership ageing – average age is 50+ years  People have many choices on how to spend their time  How do we increase membership? Fostering diversity  Women are fastest growing segment  NZ’s population forecasts changing demographic i.e 2021: Asian 9%, Maori 18%, Pacific islanders 9%, European  How do we ensure membership that better reflects NZ population? Local involvement  Are clubs actively involved in their local communities?  How do we ensure Rotary Clubs continue to be a ‘core’partner in their local communities? Environment Those interested in ‘Service Club” or “Self growth” opportunities have numbers of options e.g

Lions Rotary Toastmasters Zonta

No. Clubs 450 269 240 28

To build greater awareness of what Rotary does? (Public Relations) Achieve net membership growth of 3% pa Care for the people of the world (Rotary Foundation) Ensure all rotarians have the knowledge and skill to fulfil their responsibilities (Communication and training)

A4.6 District Governor’s Strategic Objectives for 2013/14 Building on our past Rotary International is a service organisation with strong foundations firmly linked to its past traditions and values. But what is it that sets Rotary aside from other Service organisations? The Rotary Strategic Plan states that the Core Essence of Rotary is: A worldwide network of inspired individuals who translate their passions into relevant social causes to change lives in communities. It lists as its Core Values:    

Service – activities and programs that bring about greater world understanding and peace. Fellowship – individual efforts focus on individual needs, but combined efforts serve humanity. Diversity – unifying all people internationally behind the ideal of service. Integrity – being committed to and expect accountability from our leaders and fellow members, both in the results of our efforts and in the processes we use to accomplish our goals.  Leadership – being a global fellowship of individuals who are leaders in their fields of endeavour. We must value these Core Values, but Rotary must also look to change. Stuart Heal, our Rotary Director and head of the Rotary Strategy Committee, is challenging Rotary to make change. He says: Change is essential to make Rotary more relevant for today and to encourage more participation. We need to support and strengthen Clubs  To focus on service and not attendance  To use modern contemporary language  To amend membership requirements  To create online Clubs We need to increase humanitarian Service  To make Rotary our charity of choice  To focus on program resources and support  To look for more partnerships outside of Rotary  To connect with and attract all Rotary alumni We need to enhance public image and awareness  To stop brand confusion  To use new social media tools

118

Looking To The Future I believe that it is Rotary’s Internationality and Core Values that sets it aside from other service organisations. A US North Western University was asked to study and come up with a slogan that describes what we do. It described Rotary as: ‘A worldwide network of inspired individuals who translate their passions into relevant social causes to change lives in communities.’ When looking to the future it is important that we do not forget our past and we must recognise the strength within our Clubs, our DNA. And yet while recognising this strength and keeping our feet on the ground, we must also have the courage to spread our wings and learn to fly. We need to think Globally and act Locally. We must learn to push the boundaries; to push the boundaries and embrace change. To meet the challenges ahead the change must come from within Clubs while recognising that one size does not fit all. Stuart Heal says: ‘To survive change must be considered as an integral part of our future development. No longer can we sit back in our comfortable cocoon, satisfied that we are doing good deeds. To survive we need to attract and retain members”.

Making the Rotary Foundation our Charity of Choice The International in Rotary international is what sets Rotary apart from many other service organisations. The Rotary Foundation, through its International programmes, is the vehicle that unites 33,000 Clubs worldwide into a cohesive global empire. Our challenge is to educate members about the work of the Foundation and change the way we think about Foundation to make it our ‘charity of choice’. We will do this by ‘pushing boundaries’ and:  reaching our goal of $100 per Rotarian per year  educating Clubs on the Foundation and Future Vision program  increasing Matching Grants projects  seeking partners for Global Grant projects in our communities  implementing a Vocational Training Team exchange  promoting and continuing with the Vocational and Peace Scholar programs  promoting the Rotary alumni program Promoting new Clubs that encourage younger people into the family of Rotary It is recognised that younger people today support causes and not organisations. There is none more obvious that the ‘barmy army’ that gathered together to clean up following the recent Canterbury earthquakes. Our challenge to ‘make change real’ is by engaging with our younger generation so that they support the goals of Rotary by:  developing Clubs, recognising that one size does not fit all, that are flexible and that meet their needs  developing projects and causes that they are ready to support  being flexible and encouraging innovative ideas within our Clubs  recognising service and engagement and not attendance within our Clubs  developing Clubs that meet the needs of the community and members

119

Encouraging clusters to look for ways to develop group projects and working with other partners within our community By working as an individual we can influence those around us, by working as a Club we can influence people in our local community, by working as a cluster we can influence people in our region, and by working as an organisation we can influence events on a global scale eg our polio eradication program. I challenge us to develop joint projects by ‘pushing boundaries’ and working together in our clusters by:  liaising with other service groups in our community to develop joint projects  looking for joint projects that involve cluster Clubs  looking to form partnerships with other Districts to apply for Global Grants to work on joint projects within our communities Use Social Media as a tool to promote Rotary and attract younger members The RI website states: “Rotarians should embrace social networking tools as a means to connect with young people and promote youth programs.” Our world is changing in the way we communicate with each other. Our children are growing up using communication tools such as Facebook, blogs, and Twitter. To communicate and attract the younger generation we must embrace these new communication tools. Our challenge is to ‘make change real’ by:  providing training courses across District that teach the use of social media tools such as fFacebook and Twitter  encouraging Clubs to adopt these techniques and to engage across a wider sector of our community Increase the awareness of Rotary in our Society While many people know that Rotary does good in our community and across society they know little detail of what we do and how we do it. I aim to ‘push boundaries’ to support the initiative to increase our public image within the community by:  supporting our Districts PR initiatives  encouraging Clubs and members to go into the community and speak about the work of Rotary  providing PR material for use to promote our activities  taking all opportunities to talk about the work that Rotary does There are two additional initiatives that I also wish to promote strongly in the coming year:  Rotary Leadership Institute – to be one of our training methods of choice for future leaders within our Clubs and District  Club Visioning – to encourage Clubs to use the Club Visioning program to analyse and reinvigorate Clubs within our District.
