Mark Gibson

Greetings fellow Rotarians.

This week will bring you an update and review of a great community resource, our library. Take good notes as I am most disappointed to miss this presentation.

I am with your DGE at the required training for DGEs from around the Rotary world in San Diego. This includes partner training!!!

By the looks of the pictures Mark & the

DGE are having to much fun at the Assembly.

Great opening ceremony by Taiwan

I give to you a quest and a destination:

1st - What is a DGE?

2nd- Installation will be on the evening of June 22 and is a Club event that replaces our June 20th meeting - so kindly note both dates.

Respectfully Yours in Rotary,

Mark S. Gibson, President BBRC

Healing The Children

Keith Hanson

Keith Hanson, a long time BBRC & Chamber of Commerce member, is again hosting 2 teenage children participating in "Healing The Children" Program.

The Program is headed up locally by Dr. Jeff Degner. (RHS below image).

Healing the Children provides critical medical care to children all around the world. We envision a world where every child has access to medical care, regardless of ability to pay, insurance status, or physical location. http://www.htc-il.org/

We need donations of warm winter clothing for a 13 year old Boy & Girl and if you have similar age teenage children I'm sure the Hansen's would appreciate some volunteer companionship for his two guests.

Please e-mail Jackcaldwell.jr@gmail.com for more information.

Paul Harris

Jan 10th Guest Speaker

Narayan Murarka on the right introduced Francisco Viau, Guatemala Sur Club member and key partner in our Club’s efforts in Guatemala.

Francisco made a presentation highlighting his 36 years with Rotary and, most specifically, his 7-8 years experience with Club Sur.

Francisco expressed extraordinary gratitude for Narayan’s guidance and the monetary as well as muscle support from Barrington Breakfast Rotary members and others. The success in one county in northeastern Guatemala has now spread to a second county. Through a series of global grants, program grants, micro-credit opportunities and nutrition committee guidance, local entities have signed on to spread the learning and leverage their own contributions. Ministries of education and health, embassies and even UNICEF have started to collaborate on investments in clean water, sanitation, education. Individual municipalities, mayors, even school PTAs are engaged. Several firsts have been accomplished, including a baby incubator. Forty eight schools have now been ear marked and local/community members have been identified to install wash stations expecting to complete the project in October 2019.

Francisco stated that Rotary is definitely seen as the catalyst in these efforts:

Local people have been involved in the process and learned
The projects are all sustainable
Examples are being provided for others
Impact has definitely been made on nutrition
It is estimated that illiteracy would be eradicated by 2020

This has become an incredible partnership and friendship between Narayan, many BBRC Club Members, Rotary district 6440 club supporters and the Guatemala Sur Club. Thanks to Francisco Viau and Narayan for leading charge.
