Rebuilding Together is a
national organization low income and disabled homeowners stay in their home
– whatever it takes to live safely in their home. All of the chapters
all over the country do as many houses as they can. Skilled labor has
previously gone to the homes and worked on the permitted tasks.
House Captains needed or
painters. No Rotary team since we have enough volunteers – but you’ll
be used if you show up.

The Rotary
Club of Coral Springs-Parkland is proud to have made a donation to the
J.P. Taravella Marching Band at a fundraising concert held outside of the
Whole Foods Market in Coral Springs, to help send the award-winning high
school band to
Washington D.C. where they
marched in the Presidential Inaugural Parade on January 20th. The JPT high school
band was one of two bands (the other being Florida A&M) to represent
Florida at Obama's presidential inauguration. It took $150,000, raised over
several months, for the band to make the trip. The Rotary club also sponsors
an Interact club at JPT. Go Trojans!
Since late last year, members
of the Rotary Club Miami-Granada have been working hard to raise
funds to fulfill a promise - to support the dream of completing a park in
the City of Sweetwater. On Friday, January 3rd, The Lolo Villalobos Domino
Park was formally dedicated after a decade in the making. City officials
originally sought funding for the park 10 years ago, and the park finally
opened in December 2003 but the land was vacant and mostly unused with only
one gazebo and a set of restrooms. Last year the park was finally
renovated. The idea for the park was to create a place for both young and
old to meet, play dominoes and have a good time. But there weren't any
dominoes tables. The Rotary club raised almost $1,200 selling raffle
tickets, and five tables were installed. The park is beautiful. It seems
Rotary produces a “domino” effect everywhere it goes.
On
March 9, the Sunrise Rotary Club of Grand Bahama
donated
110 bulletproof vests to the local police in recognition of sacrifices made
by the Royal Bahamas Police Force (RBPF). The club’s initial goal was to
raise enough to supply 75 vests, following a donation of 25 vests by the GB
Chamber of Commerce last year. Due to overwhelming support, the Rotary club
was able to raise $64,500, exceeding their goals and allowing them to
purchase more vests, armour and garments. Accepting the gear and thanking
the club on behalf of Police Commissioner Ferguson was Asst. Commissioner
of Police Marvin Dames, officer in charge of Grand Bahama. The club plans
to
The oldest living Rotarian of the Hollywood Rotary Club, and
perhaps even in the country is Yoeman Keen. He is 101 years young and
living with his wonderful wife on Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood. He joined
the club in 1933 but dropped out for two years and rejoined in 1935. He has
been a fully paid up Rotarian for 73 years.

DID YOU MISS A MEETING‘CAUSE YOU WERE AWAY?
Our club goal is 100% Attendance!
If you miss a meeting, it can be made-up within 2 weeks, before or after, of the missed meeting date.
For online make-ups:
http://www.rotary.org/newsroom/downloadcenter/pdfs/eclub_list.pdf
Visit
www.rotary6990.org to find a club to make up an absence. Attendance credit for a 30-minute interactive club Web site activity offers an alternative to making up a meeting at another club. To earn this credit, Rotarians log on to the site, read up on a range of subjects, post comments, & submit a form to the club secretary.
Make Ups On-Line via Rotary eClub One
Perfect attendance is now possible for every Rotarian with computer
access. Rotary’s eClub One is a full-service online charted Rotary Club.
Meetings operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. What an easy way to
make up for a meeting that you have missed! During the last Rotary year,
Rotary eClub One welcomed more than 120,000 visitors from 161 countries. Of
these, about 800 per week participated in one of eClub One’s meeting
programs and applied for make-up credit.
Here’s what you have to do to earn make up credit. Go to http://www.rotary.org/RIdocuments/en_pdf/eclub_list.pdf
It is mandatory that you spend at least 30
minutes on the website for qualify for a make-up credit. (Remember
Rotarians are guided by the principles of the 4 Way Test).
1. Read a variety of current articles in the programs
section and/or choose articles from the Archived Programs list and/or
information from the Avenues of Service pages. You will be required to
answer questions. There is space on the makeup request form for up to three
articles to be reviewed, however you will need to read more than three to
meet your 30 minute visit obligation.
2. At the end of your 30 minute visit, click on
Make-up Request Form from the drop-down menu at the top of the page OR the
bottom of each make-up program.
3. Read the Makeup Request Form carefully, and follow
instructions. The form will appear once you press the SUBMIT button (one
time only) and an email copy will be sent to the email address you proved.
This can be forwarded to your club secretary so your attendance records are
properly updated.
Rotarians can also designate eClub One as
their home club. Members in eClub One are usually experienced Rotarians who
are unable to belong to a traditional club because they reside in a remote
location or they are engaged in a demanding travel schedule. Those applying
for membership in eClub One must provide an endorsement from their current
District Governor, current Rotary club President, along with letters of
reference from two Rotarian colleagues of their current club..
eClub One has standard requirements for memberships,
including charges for dues and administrative fees. Participants also must
be willing to take part regularly in the Rotary eClub One community by
taking on tasks and responsibilities. Members are required to also have
regular access to the Internet and be willing to acquire the necessary
skills to participate in the activities of Rotary eClub One.
Rotary and eClub One are on the cutting edge of the
technology age. How this evolves will only be determined by periodic
evaluation and the involvement of its members. For today, however, it is an
outstanding tool for Rotarians to makeup missed meetings and keep in touch
with Rotary happenings throughout the world.
