President Linda:
I have been asked to see if any Rotary members would be interested in hosting 2 or 3 Fulbright scholars for dinner on Feb 23rd . I plan to host a few . Please email the MCIV directly if you wish to take advantage of this opportunity to meet some interesting young people.
Each year, first-year foreign Fulbright students have the opportunity to participate in enrichment seminars throughout the United States . These annual seminars are organized by the Institute of International Education (IIE) and are funded by the United States Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
This year, approximately 140 Fulbright grantees representing over eighty different countries have been invited to a three-day winter seminar which will take place in Miami from February 23rd to 26th. The theme of the seminar will be “Leadership and Public Service”.
As part of this year’s seminar a hosted evening has been organized for Friday, February 23rd, 2007. This evening will give the students an opportunity to meet local residents in the Miami area and to partake in a unique and memorable experience. In order to accomplish this, we would like to invite you to share in this event by hosting a small group of Fulbright students for dinner in your home or at a restaurant.
If you are interested in hosting a group of students or if you would like to receive additional information on becoming a host please send your inquiries to
fulbrighthosting@ miamiciv. org
MEMBERSHIP MOMENT
Ideas for Recruiting and Retaining Younger Members
Induct several young members at once, instead of recruiting them one at a time. If your club has no younger members, inducting several at the same time gives these new members an immediate peer group in the club.
Conduct service projects that are likely to appeal to younger members. The Australian Bureau of Statistics found that volunteers in two age groups, 25-35 and 55-65, do the same amount of service work. But the younger volunteers were more likely to focus on areas such as education, sports, and family matters.
VOLUNTEER HOME STILL NEEDED
We’ll work within your schedule. Please step up and help replenish our dwindling budget reserves. All proceeds benefit our charities.

Ed Mattson, member of the Mishawaka, IN Rotary Club discussing "Rotary on an INTERNATIONAL LEVEL – Hands Across the Sea".
To set the stage and to gain appreciation for international projects, the itinerary is very broad-based and contains important information for every Rotarian:
1. Rotary is more than "local projects".
2. Why we have it so good in the US
3. Some of the latest cancer treatments available here in the US and taking them into the 3rd world.
4. Why Rotary is the best organization to change the world.
5. A look at the need for humanitarian aid in underdeveloped countries, and utilizing Rotary resources to make international projects easier.
6. Partnering with and sponsoring new Rotary Clubs in third world countries
7. A brief look at three current projects in Eastern Europe where Rotary's growth has been a phenominal 16%.
"This is the most informative program we have ever heard at a club meeting and we have certainly gained a greater respect for what Rotary is all about". Rob Ketron, PDG District 7620
"The information presented certainly opened my eyes and has allowed me to gain more insight into my battle with breast cancer" Liz Garcia, Member Santa Maria, CA Rotary |
