Editorial

Governor,Eugene Burkett

fellow rotarians,

There are several things you may wish to highlight in your club programs for February. First, February is Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution Month. This is a new des-ignation for the month that was changed by Rotary International for the 2015-16 Rotary year.February 4th is the World Cancer day. This is a United nations designation. It is orga-nized by the UICC, Union for International Cancer Control. You can find more information about the program by visiting their website at: www.worldcancerday.org where you can find more information and download materials.

February 23 is Rotary’s anniversary. The first Rotary Club was formed when attorney Paul P. Harris called together acquaintances at his office in Chicago on February 23, 1905. Although many of us who have been in Rotary for some time know the story of Rotary very well, many of our newer members may not. So please consider providing a bit of history for your meetings in February to celebrate the anniversary of our organiza-tion.

rotary has heartOur Rotary Zone 33-34 Director, Robert Hall, is asking all of the approximately 1,600 clubs in the 29 districts in Zones 33 and 34 to do a community service project during the first quarter of 2016 and let the community know what Rotary is doing, and that Rotary Has Heart. Each club can decide how it wants to participate. And while it is first and foremost a Community Service Project is also provides us an opportunity to show our community what Rotarians do and why it is important to support Rotary.

Our own Past district Governor, Betsy Owen, is the Zone Chairperson for the program. You may contact her via email at: [email protected], for more information and for assistance. You can also go to http://www.rizones33-34.org/heart2015.html to obtain information and sample press releases and proclama-tions.

blizzard of 2016I want to conclude this month’s article by asking that you consider helping our fellow americans that are being impacted by the Blizzard that hit the east coast on January 23rd. Eleven states declared a state of emergency—Georgia, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Kentucky, north Carolina, new Jersey, new York, delaware, Virginia, and West Virginia. Some cities have seen between 25 inches of snow to as much as 40 inches of snow fall. As the snow melts massive flooding has been experienced by many communities. Flooding in parts of New Jersey is as bad as the flooding that occurred during Hur-ricane Sandy in 2012. So please help where you can and don’t forget to donate blood. Be a Gift to the World!

in district 2080. Updates and additional information will be available leading up to the event. Registration will open 18 January. I ask that you also include men-tion of this event in your governor’s monthly letter.This Jubilee, as established by Pope Francis, is known as the Holy Year of Mercy. It marks the time of forgiveness and reconciliation, of solidarity, hope, and justice. It is a commitment to serve with joy and in peace across the world.as you work hard to Be a Gift to the World, I do hope you will make the effort to be in Rome with as many members of your district as possible.

rotarians are beinG asKed to helP their Communities around valentine’s day 2016

The 2016 Rotary Has Heart program is a Community Service Program which is a continuation from last year’s program, origi-nally initiated by PRId anne L. Matthews and expanded by RId Robert Hall. We want all of our approximately 1600 clubs in the 29 districts in Zones 33 and 34 to do a community service proj-ect in the 1st quarter of 2016 and let the community be aware of what Rotary is doing. We can help those in need and improve Rotary’s image in each of our communities at the same time. The Rotary Foundation Trustees and RI Board consider this awareness a critical element in our membership strategy which is key to Rotary’s future. This is especially important in north america. Therefore, publicity is a key requirement for Rotary Has Heart.

Each club may decide for itself how it wants to participate. It could be something as simple as donating money to an estab-lished program or something as complex as organizing a full-fledged club service project all following the six areas of focus. While this is first and foremost a Community Service Project, it is also a chance for us to show thousands of communities throughout our zones what Rotarians can do to BE a GIFT TO THE WORLd. We are not doing this to brag, but to help the public better un-derstand what Rotary is and what Rotarians do to make their communities better. It is our hope that clubs will use this effort to develop their membership and to promote giving to our Rotary Foundation. director Robert Hall believes that with this single focus we will not only BE a GIFT TO THE WORLd but will also capture the at-tention of so many people who are willing to support our causes and want to become one of us. We expect some of our clubs will join together to organize a community wide effort, while oth-ers will participate in a less demanding although just as impor-tant way. Whatever way your club chooses to participate, we hope you will bear the Rotary banner proudly and tell your story boldly. after all, Rotary has heart and there is no better way to

show this collectively than during this first quarter that holds Val-entine’s day. If you need help please contact any of the people below.

We provide good wines to taste and nibbles to go with them. The entertainment is always first class. You must hear the Dick and Doc Duo and Jack Smink to believe it.

We have the whole library, so you can get a glass of wine and some cheese, bread, and fruit, and wander around to see what this excellent library has to offer. The facilities are up to date and its capacity to serve our community is very impressive.

We thank our commercial sponsors and you will see their names and logos on our posters in the library.

Cocoa Beach Daybreak Rotary Club meets at Roberto’s, 26 N. Orlando Avenue in Cocoa Beach, every Tuesday morning. We start to arrive at 7:00 AM, start our meeting at 7:30, and wrap up at 8:30. You are welcome to come visit us and will be made welcome!

what 30-somethinGs need to Know about rotary

By Michael Bucca a member of the Rotary Club of Central Ocean Toms River, New Jersey, USAYou might think that I, a 32-year-old member of a 110-year-old organization, would be preoccupied with trying to modernize my club’s way of doing things. But remarkably, my experience in Rotary is teach-ing me to spend more energy convincing my genera-tion – which keeps trying to reinvent everything – that there is much to be gained in the lost art of personal connection.We all use social media in our daily lives. Without a doubt, Twitter, Facebook, text messaging, etc. has great value in our social and professional circles. But long before there were Wi-Fi connections, laptops, or smartphones, a man named Paul Harris came up with the idea of professional leaders getting together face to face to make a difference in their community. The organization that arose from this modest idea took its name from the early practice members had of rotating meeting locations between their offices.In an era of instant communication defined by not-so-blind carbon copies, accidental “reply-alls,” and desperate attempts to “recall” an email, many people

Becoming a member lets you practice life skills that no social media site will ever provide: interpersonal commu-nication. You might meet someone who will change your life. You may even change theirs. But instead of sending a friend request, you will walk right up to them and say “hello.”

how to ProteCt and manaGe all your Passwords

Have you noticed how it is becoming more and more complicated to create, store and – most of all - re-member all information required to make a purchase, to close an important deal or obtain information when you need it quickly? and have you noticed how al-most everything you look for is not in place the min-ute you most need it?Yes, it happens frequently. When we are leaving home for example: we can’t find our car keys, a cell phone or a purse and it always happens when we are in a hurry.What about when we are simply looking for an in-formation? A credit card number, a birth certificate, a bank account number, a copy of a receipt or the war-ranty terms of an important asset such as a computer that needs to be repaired?Most of all: the simple act of creating an online ac-count became an issue. Many services require that our passwords include capital letters, lowercase let-ters, numbers and other weird characters. Other-wise, it simply won’t let you login. not to mention that when you finally memorize a specific password, they ask you to change that for some security reasons.

There are 5 passwords the experts recommend we should stay away from them: 1. Password Believe it or not, this is still a common password. don’t use it.2. letmein They recommend that you use passphrases that are memorable. Just don’t use this one. It ranks high on several lists of the most-used passwords.3. monkey 4. This common word appears on many lists of popu-lar passwords. It’s also too short. Make passwords at least eight characters—the longer the better.5. your pet’s name While you’re at it, don’t use any passwords that can be easily guessed, such as the name of your spouse or partner, your nickname, birth date, address, or driver’s license number.

6. 12345678 avoid this and other sequences or repeated charac-ters such as 222222, abcdefg, or adjacent letters on your keyboard (such as qwerty).

What if all you had to do in order to have access to all data, would be to memorize just one single pass-word? What if you had a Password Manager securely installed and synced in all your computers and mo-bile devices? It is possible and there are many options in the mar-ket, but the one I recommend (just because I use it for over 10 years) is: 1Password©. That is a password management application developed by agileBits, Inc. Following are just a few examples of what it can se-curely store for you:• Login passwords for any and all websites• debit, Credit and Gift Cards• Id’s, Passports and Medical Insurance • Software Licenses and Warranty Certificates • Bank and Investment accounts• Important notes• Health and other Insurance policies• Membership Plans and Contracts• Reward Plans and its expiry dates

It also helps creating complex passwords whenever you need to create a new account and it remembers that whenever you need to login. The program is compatible with Windows, OSX (Mac), android and iOS (iPhone, iPad). data synchronization and back-up is automatic via WiFi or dropbox. Just visit https://agilebits.com/onepassword and download a free trial. I promise you will love it!

Highlightrotary Club of boCa ratonoPal 2016 messaGe from the President

honored Guests,

On behalf of the Rotary Club of Boca Raton I welcome you to the 18th annual OPaL Gala highlighting and celebrating the Outstanding People and Leaders of Boca Raton.Over the past ten years that I have been a member of the Rotary Club of Boca Raton, I have proudly participated in this event and watched this Gala grow to become our city’s premier event with a guest list of the finest and most caring members of our community. Even more impressive is the growing list of past honorees who continue to work tirelessly to make this city a better place to live, work, learn, and play, for all of its residents. While watching tonight’s presentation, be cognizant that each year’s honorees are selected by a committee comprised of past honorees in a closed meeting. The committee members lobby on behalf of their favorite candidates, and a se-cret vote is made. In a town so full of great leaders, and donors with huge hearts, heated competition is unavoidable. While emotions do tend to run high during the selection process, the result of the effort is always magnificent. The Honorees that result from that crucible are always exceptional people and paragons in their various fields of passion and endeavor. It is no coincidence that so many philanthropists, business leaders, community service professionals, and volunteers are drawn to this event this year. It represents the best of us, and highlights our desire to serve our community at the highest level. Many leave with a renewed sense of drive and determination to “Change lives and Build Futures”, for which our entire community benefits. at this year’s event I am hopeful that you will join me in being inspired to take action as you hear the story of each uniquely deserving OPAL honoree. It is my sincere hope that you will be moved to take action and financially support our Scholarship and Mentorship Program which provides academic funding, mentorship, and a sense of community, to hardworking and determined college students with demonstrated need. Our Scholarship program is unique in that we have no administrative costs. Combined with a membership in an on-campus service club (ROTORACT) each student is provided with the benefit of a Rotary Mentor to assist these emerg-ing young adults in making thoughtful and educated life decisions. Participation in these programs is a requirement to receive academic funds, and we are excited to see our students succeeding and reaching their goals as a result of these programs.I am so very proud to participate this year and serve as the President of the Rotary Club of Boca Raton at this 18th OPaL Gala. I am grateful that you have joined us this evening, look forward to making great memories together, and providing scholarship funds and emotional support for our next generation of local leaders and community servants.

yours in service,Spencer B. Siegel President 2015-2016The Rotary Club of Boca Raton

TellYourStoryMy name is angelica Blakely and I will be at service as Public Image team in our district. as part of Rotary’s new strategy we are trying to strengthen our image so that everyone will understand what Rotary stands for, how we’re different, and why it matters.I encourage all Public Image Chairs for each club to download from Rotary Brand Center the Messaging Guidelines Brochure, subtitled The Voice, and Visual Rotary Guidelines, to share with club members. In this brochure you will find powerful tools to do “What we need to do”, which is to tell our great story in a way that ensures our actions and supports our words. and if your club doesn’t have Public Image Chairs please ask your president to appoint someone.

One of the best ways to bring our story to life is to simply tell about it. With this in mind we will have a space in the District newsletter called “Telling You Story”. It will be a forum for individuals to tell about the day they became a true Rotarian. Submissions will need to be no more than 400 words and, if possible, should include the author’s picture. Stories like these can inspire others and help to connect people to one another.Please, send to me at: [email protected]

Telling You Story

My name is Angelica Blakely and I will be at service as Public Image team in our District.

As part of Rotary’s new strategy we are trying to strengthen our image so that everyone will understand what Rotary stands for, how we’re different, and why it matters.

I encourage all Public Image Chairs for each club to download from Rotary Brand Center the Messaging Guidelines Brochure, subtitled The Voice, and Visual Rotary Guidelines, to share with club members. In this brochure you will find powerful tools to do “What we need to do”, which is to tell our great story in a way that ensures our actions and supports our words. And if your club doesn’t have Public Image Chairs please ask your president to appoint someone. One of the best ways to bring our story to life is to simply tell about it.

TellYourStoryI appreciate this honor to tell MY ROTaRY STORY, as it entwines into my life and career. You will see that I have been happily “married” to Rotary for 41 years. In essence, what occurs, is you don’t get into Rotary until Rotary gets into you !

I am a Board Certified Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, and for the prior 39 years, have fully enjoyed specializing in dental Implant Reconstruction and surgery on Wisdom Teeth. during my Residency at Boston’s world renowned Tufts University, my training included the treatment of trauma victims, especially at our sister hospi-tal now known as Boston Medical Center. It was demanding, but it hugely enriched my ability to help people in so many ways. However, there were so many that were severely injured, and many never woke up. I decided to take a working vacation to mentally unwind from that before moving to practice in Florida. So in 1975, I found

a quiet, peaceful and well respected practice in Canada .

as I believe there is no such thing as a coincidence, the owner of the practice had a father who invited me to a lunch meeting for his Rotary Club (never heard of it, but this man deserved RESPECT.) So, to paraphrase the writings in Caesar’s Gallic Wars,” I came, I saw and they conquered my Heart! I instantly saw its mission and joined in with them. The men were all polite, energetic, city “movers” and kind people. As time passed, this opened the door for my ability to help others in a way that a “foreigner” could not have. As a Rotarian, I no longer even thought of being in another country, and worked side by side with my Rotary friends, and their friends on various projects. While there, I completed my Florida Board exams and began to make plans to open my own practice, in a quaint little sleepy jewel called Boca Raton, Florida. So, it was off to the Land of Endless Sunshine in 1977.

In putting my office together, I hired a company for medical gases, and lo and behold, the owner, Bernie Schultz, started to tell me all about Rotary and I was so ecstatic to make a connection so fast to join the Boca Raton Rotary Club. (again, a coincidence? Hmm) Opening a private practice is usually a very time consum-ing and challenging task. However, my new Rotary friends were there “to the rescue”. It was unbelievable how they took me under their wings and into their homes and offices. During that period, the Spirit of Rotary that started in Canada, became fully entrenched into my being. The Four Way Test became part of me.

Over the many years, we have participated in endless events for the good of all concerned and for the Com-munity as well as our Nation and World. I recall that in a 1985 lunch meeting , we heard the first announce-ment that Rotary International is starting a campaign to eradicate Polio worldwide. and as of this year, that is practically done. Our club has also taken on a mission to assist in the Medical field and is working very closely with the FaU Medical School, a project VERY dear to my Heart. I can go on and on and on in discuss-ing the myriad of scholarships, and much more.

In essence, what occurs, is you don’t get into Rotary until Rotary gets into you !

dear rotarian,

It’s an honor to be able to speak to you!

You probably have noticed that every month, you get an e-mail of the district Quest Magazine. Quest is our monthly district newslet-

ter transformed into a magazine to get all the district information out to Rotarians in a more modern, efficient, and exciting way!

Through this letter, I want to encourage you to send me information, flyers, and photos of the events that your club holds so that we can promote it throughout the whole district. That way, you will be letting other clubs know what yours is up to and encourage them to do the same!

We want to show support to our entire district, so we created a print version of the maga-zine. This was a dream come true for us! It was an absolute success, and it was distributed to everyone in the last District 6930 Conference!

This will be a fast, easy, and pleasant way for all members in our district to be up to date on the happenings of every club. This is also a great way to recruit future Rotarians. We can let others in our community learn what being a Rotarian is all about. They will see the won-derful services we do for our communities, along with the fun time we have while doing it! I encourage all your members to use this magazine as a recruitment tool for your clubs.
