A Letter From 2019-2020 RI President Mark Danial Maloney
Posted by Eric Tindall on Jul 03, 2019
A new Rotary year is upon us, and let us say one final thank you to former President Barry Rassin for his outstanding leadership. Barry, we will miss you, but we know and appreciate that you will continue to lead Rotary in important ways for years to come.

I have spoken for several months about how Rotary Connects the World, and the time has now arrived to put our words into action. We have an exciting year ahead of us, a year when we begin to implement the new Strategic Plan, what I call the Rotary Action Plan and when we will celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the signing of the UN Charter.

That anniversary will underscore the ties we have and goals we share with the United Nations. We will host five special events—UN Day in New York, three presidential conferences in Paris, Santiago, and Rome, and a final celebration just before the Convention in Honolulu. This will help us achieve the first Action Plan goal of increasing our impact by demonstrating that Rotary’s influence in the world has only just begun.

The second Action Plan goal is expanding our reach.  To achieve that, we need to grow Rotary – reaching out to new members, engaging current members, and creating more alternatives for membership for the next generation of Rotarians.

The third goal is enhanced participant engagement, making sure that Rotarians have experiences that are personally and professionally relevant and fulfilling. This is why I believe so strongly in building a more family-friendly Rotary -- one that welcomes children to our activities and that is considerate of families in our scheduling. Let us recommit to putting the needs, expectations, and growth of our participants at the center of all we do.

The final priority of our new Action Plan is increasing our ability to adapt. New approaches to our organizing principles do not threaten our sense of who we are. That is why I believe that Rotary must respect professional commitments and not require Rotary leadership to be a full-time job. We need to respect the time and responsibilities of young people who are building careers.

Together, we will harness the power of connection just as our organization has been doing for more than 114 years. We have a long, proud heritage. And we will continue to thrive because we are not afraid of change.

I look forward to leading you in this important journey, as Rotary Connects the World!

Yours in Rotary,
Mark Daniel Maloney
President, Rotary International 2019-2020

$142,000 Rotary International Global Grant Propels Chiefdom To Grow Its Future.
Posted by Eric Tindall on Jun 18, 2019
All of the funding for the Rotary International Global Grant ($142,030) is now in the account of the Freetown Rotary Club.
 
A site visit has been conducted by Rotarian Theodora Wilkinson of the Freetown Rotary Club and transfers are being made to the implementing organization, the Center for Community Empowerment.
 
The dream of Chief Charles Caulker to develop his chiefdom using its own agricultural traditions is now being realized. He wanted to grow fruit trees in his verdant tropical chiefdom that would produce income for community development in the years to come.

RCAAN Takes a Field Trip To NSF International.
Posted by Eric Tindall on Jun 13, 2019
For Ann Arbor North's weekly luncheon on Thursday June 13, 2019, we replaced the normal lunch and meeting at Holiday Inn and we took a field trip to NSA International at 789 N. Dixboro Road, Ann Arbor, MI.
 
NSF was founded in 1944, with a mission to protect and improve global human health. Manufacturers, regulators and consumers look to them to facilitate the development of public health standards and certifications that help protect food, water, consumer products and the environment. As an independent, accredited organization, they test, audit and certify products and systems as well as provide education and risk management.
 
In the field trip we saw some labs that test products, as tour guide describes how the product is tested. We saw the water testing lab that is very prevalent to Rotary with our Area of Focus of Water and Sanitation. 
 
Due to time we were not able to see the lower level of the facility, so looking forward for August to continue the tour.
