Members of the Rotary Club of Bourne Sandwich participated in Sandwich Fest on June 24, 2017. Scores of participants were not deterred by a few morning showers. Club members cooked and served delicious hot dogs, hamburgers, and sausage sandwiches to raise funds for the Club's Good Works fund.

The Rotary Club of Bourne Sandwich enters year two of its three year commitment to support Cape Kids Meals as its community service project.
Cape Kids Meals is the Cape Cod chapter of Blessing in a Backpack. The program began with an initial pilot project in 2014 at two elementary schools in Dennis. At those schools 60% meet poverty level guidelines for the school reduced or free lunch program. Family food insecurity is a problem across the Cape. In 2016-2017 the Rotary Club of Bourne Sandwich with additional student and adult volunteers purchased, packed and delivered breakfast and weekend lunch food packs to 100 students in 4 elementary schools in Bourne and Sandwich. Successful fundraising will insure weekly packs are available to 125 children in the 2017-2018 school year.
To learn more about Cape Kids Meals , to volunteer, or the make a tax deductible donation go to www.capekidsmeals.org or contact co-coordinators Mary Carlson at mcarlsonckm@gmail.com or Bob Dutch at bobdutchckm@gmail.com.
Please look for ticket information about the return of the Herrmann's Royal Lipizzan Stallions for
shows in 2018 at the Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical School.
First Night in Sandwich, MA 2017
Rotarians helping our fellow citizens enjoy warm food and hot chocolate on a family celebration night. We ran out of food due to the high demand for excellence!
Our Rotary club provides two $1,000 scholarships to graduating seniors who live in either Bourne or Sandwich. One scholarship is for a student who is planning to study in the field of music. The other scholarship is not specific, but is for a student with a record of active community service. Students should check with their guidance counselors for more information or check back to this website in February 2018
A great day working with Rotarians from around the Cape at a Habitat for Humanity build in Harwich on Saturday October 17. This was a joint project with Rotarians from Yarmouth, Nauset, Barnstable Sunrise, and our club!
Thursday, October 15, David Augustinho, as guest speaker, filled in our club about the history, funding and grants administered by the Cape and Islands Workforce investment Board. David is the Executive Director of the Agency. The Cape and Islands Workforce Investment Board is a regional, private sector led agency responsible for overseeing all publicly funded vocational education and training programs.
The agency was established in 1982 as a Private Industry Council, with the Cape Cod area part of the New Bedford region. In 1992 the regions separated due to the Cape’s increasing population and unique needs, and the local agency was then named the Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket Regional Employment Board. On July 1, 2000 the Workforce Investment Act was instituted and the current name of the organization was adopted.
The Cape and Islands WIB is led by a Board of Directors that must have over 50% private sector representation, and the Chairman of the Board must be from the private sector. The members are appointed by a Chief Elected Official (CEO), in our case County Commissioner Sheila Lyons.

The chief role of the WIB is to ensure that public sector investments in education and training match up with local private sector needs. To meet this role the WIB guides the formation of a regional workforce development system, serving as a major link between the region’s economic development agencies, training providers, educational institutions, and employers. The WIB develops a blueprint that analyzes the needs and gaps in the local labor market, the types of training that are needed, and the size and characteristics of the population to be served. In addition the WIB administers or oversees a number of federal and state programs including; the Career Opportunities Center in Hyannis (the federal one-stop career service centers), the School-to-Careers program, the state Workforce Training Fund, and programs administered by JTEC.

Five years since its debut, Rotary Club Central is getting a big upgrade
When we introduced Rotary Club Central in 2012, it revolutionized goal tracking and planning for clubs and districts — no more filling out paper club-planning forms or passing along boxes of historical club information every time a new leader took office.
Rotary Club Central offered clubs and districts a quantifiable way to begin measuring local and global impact, specifically membership initiatives, service activities, and Rotary Foundation giving.
But as with any technological advancement, in a few short years, Rotary Club Central began to show its age, and Rotarians took notice. They...
Rotary International Board adopts new zone structure
At its January 2017 meeting, the Rotary International Board of Directors adopted a new zone structure for Rotary clubs.
Rotary bylaws require the Board to complete a comprehensive review of the 34 Rotary zones no less often than every eight years to ensure that each zone has an approximately equal number of Rotarians. The Board’s previous review of the zones occurred in 2008.
The Board earlier approved the creation of three regional workgroups to develop rezoning proposals for Asia, Europe/Africa, and the Americas. These workgroups comprised one representative (either a current director,...

Convention: Southern hospitality

Member spotlight: The power of the press
When Teguest Yilma helped found the Rotary Club of Addis Ababa Entoto in 2002, she thought polio had already been eradicated from most of the world. But while Ethiopia had been free of the disease, Yilma was shocked to learn that new cases had started cropping up in surrounding countries such as Somalia.
“I was thinking, it’s not possible, we can’t be free if the countries around us are not free,” she says. Yilma, the managing editor of Capital, Ethiopia’s largest English weekly newspaper, has brought a journalist’s skills to the fight against polio. She became vice chair of the Ethiopia...
