The Rotary Club of Marin Sunrise was the first Rotary Club in the Nation to have Women as Chartered Members in 1987.

The Rotary Club of Marin Sunrise is the PROUD SPONSOR of the Redwood High School Interact Club. All the Kids and the annual grant scholarship winners are wonderfully articulate and appreciative of the growth they have experienced as a direct result of participating in Interact and the service projects in the community.

Meeting on April 15th 2020

This was our 4th e-meeting; we only had 20+ attendees. We used Zoom software with call-ins as well as video. Our presenter was 9.9 out of 10 for any other club that wishes to hear of an insider to the most famous musicians in Marin. His contact information is at the end of this bulletin.

INSPIRATION QUOTE OF THE DAY:

PP Ken T provided a short background of how he is working at home as his office is closed. It has been a very tough two weeks as many clients were quite panicky about their life's savings and investments. The market is a bit more even now. There was a major Bear Market followed by a Bull Market; this was a first in Ken's memory. LeAnn has been a god send as the software Ken uses at home given his limited eye sight, is not the same as the one in the office. Having someone who can see the screen has been very helpful. Since Ken can not really give investment advice to anyone but his clients, he did bend the rule a bit and his magic words for all of us in regards to all that we do now are: Stay Calm.

GUESTS AND SPECIAL SONG BY OUR NEWEST PROSPECTIVE MEMBER:

She sang a Japanese song and sent this translation per Per Elect Cammie's request:

Tycho is our newest prospective member. She lives in Tiburon with her 9 year old daughter. Tycho is a very gifted individual. She right books, helps kids with technology, sings, write lyrics to her own songs and puts together products from items such as old electronics that people throw out. She was approved by our membership committee. Next the Board will review her application and then if approved, the members at large will have chance to also have their say. We will be inducting Maryam, Nima, Ryan as well as Tycho hopefully on May 6th meeting.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

The Membership Committee will be on Sunday at 9 am for Tycho. All members are welcome to join in.

Both aforementioned meetings will be in Zoom.

SPEAKER Bob Minkin

He discussed his career and presented an amazing slide show based on his recent books, The Music Never Stopped , a stunning hardcover coffee table book spanning over 25 years of music photography and stories from in Marin County and his his latest book, Just Jerry , his photographs of Jerry Garcia. His awesome photos and personal experiences with these great musical artists are from concerts and performances all over the world.

The presentation was really great and if other clubs need a great speaker, I rate Bob a 9.9 out of 10. Here is his contact info in case any other club is interested:

Guiding principles

These principles have been developed over the years to provide Rotarians with a strong, common purpose and direction. They serve as a foundation for our relationships with each other and the action we take in the world.

Object of Rotary

The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:

FIRST: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
SECOND: High ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business, and community life;
FOURTH: The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

The Four-Way Test

The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships. The test has been translated into more than 100 languages, and Rotarians recite it at club meetings:
Of the things we think, say or do

Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

Avenues of Service

We channel our commitment to service at home and abroad through five Avenues of Service, which are the foundation of club activity.

Club Service focuses on making clubs strong. A thriving club is anchored by strong relationships and an active membership development plan.
Vocational Service calls on every Rotarian to work with integrity and contribute their expertise to the problems and needs of society. Learn more in An Introduction to Vocational Service and the Code of Conduct.
Community Service encourages every Rotarian to find ways to improve the quality of life for people in their communities and to serve the public interest. Learn more in Communities in Action: A Guide to Effective Projects.
International Service exemplifies our global reach in promoting peace and understanding. We support this service avenue by sponsoring or volunteering on international projects, seeking partners abroad, and more.
Youth Service recognizes the importance of empowering youth and young professionals through leadership development programs such as Rotaract, Interact, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards, and Rotary Youth Exchange.
