RI President-elect Barry Rassin’s theme for 2018-19, Be the Inspiration, asks Rotarians to inspire change in the world and in each other. “I ask all of you to Be the Inspiration to help Rotary move from reaction to action — to take a hard look at the environmental issues that affect health and welfare around the world and do what we can to help.” |
Rotarians are people of action. We share an urgency to become involved in our communities, both locally and globally, to make a positive and lasting difference. We enjoy working together, and focus our activity on six causes, one of which is education.
Our broad goal within the area of education is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy. We support education for all children and literacy for children and adults. Rotarians are involved in activities to further these objectives not only in our own communities, but all over the world as well.
Here in our local communities, our Club is deeply involved in this Rotary cause.
All Rotary Clubs welcome new members. It’s not difficult to join a Club, but all Rotary Clubs are “by invitation only” . With that in mind, we invite you to consider joining us!
The Presidential Citation is an important annual goal for our Club. Not only does it help organize and better direct our support of Rotary International, it enables us to measure that support against a clear set of criteria established each Rotary Year by the RI President. This year, we seek the Citation with Platinum Distinction.
The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) is a public-private partnership led by national governments with five partners – the World Health Organization (WHO), Rotary International, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Its goal is to eradicate polio worldwide. Today, we take a closer look at a key partner, the U.S-based Centers for Disease Control.
Youth---truly our treasure and our future! How fitting that Rotary designates a calendar month to Youth Services! A survey of all Rotarians would likely reveal that many join or remain in the ‘family of Rotary’ because of its advocacy for youth programs. That is my story. As a teacher the Rotary imprint was so evident in our schools and community. Leadership, literacy, and scholarship programs flourish because of Rotary’s partnership. As a parent I felt so fortunate that our son could experience that rare gift of youth exchange----a year of language, culture, and deeper world understanding. Every club in our district in some way promotes opportunities for youth to learn, to connect, and to become leaders---ultimately to become who they can be!
Jefferson County is particularly susceptible to hazards that could severely affect our community. The Jefferson County Emergency Preparation Handbook provides us with an excellent way to prepare ourselves, our families and our communities for such dangers. The time to prepare for catastrophic events is now!
The Heart of Service Awards recognize the dedication, sacrifice and accomplishments of Jefferson County individuals who do extraordinary things for their neighbors, their community, or their environment. This year, nominations must be submitted no later than 5pm Monday, April 8th, 2019.
The Rotary Club of East Jefferson County meets on Thursdays at noon at the Tri-Area Community Center, 10 West Valley Road, Chimacum WA, on Washington’s beautiful Olympic Peninsula. Club members are well-known for their community engagement and their long tradition of welcoming guests and those interested in Rotary.
During the month of April, Rotarians focus on one of our six causes, maternal and child health. Rotary International President Barry Rassin explains how Rotarians take action to make a real and lasting difference in this essential area.

I know I am meant to inspire here, but safety requires that I begin with a warning: This Moment of Inspiration is cursed. I first wrote it for the December meeting that got canceled due to high winds. I signed up again to deliver it for the February meeting that got snowed out. Today marks my third attempt; do not be surprised if an earthquake or some other calamity strikes in the next four minutes.
Rotarians use the Four-Way Test as an ethical guide for our personal and professional relationships. In all we think, say, or do, we ask…
Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Most of us fail the Four-Way Test pretty routinely.
Actor Joel Jackson grew up amid the red dirt and 100-degree-plus temperatures of sparsely populated Western Australia, a talented kid in a harsh land. Head of his class at school, soccer star, promising musician – it was all nice, but at age 17, he felt no particular pull in any direction. Until Rotary came along.
Rotary International is establishing a disaster response fund that will facilitate grants to support relief and recovery efforts in areas affected by a disaster.
The Club is proud to be supporting the Jefferson Teen Center with a $7,000 District Community Grant and Rotarian support through the end of this Rotary Year in June, and a smaller, local grants and Rotarian support for the following two Rotary Years.
Rotarian Gustav Zerbino was a member of the Uruguayan Rugby Team whose plane crashed high in the Andes. His story, which appeared online on the Rotary International site, is truly riveting. Gustav writes: "There are no extraordinary human beings. There are only common, ordinary human beings, like you and me, who are able to do extraordinary things if we connect to love and to passion if we do things that are more important than ourselves."
The East Jefferson County Rotary Club (EJRC) is John Erickson’s fifth Rotary membership. He joined this club in 2010, after retiring from a 40-year career in education. John was a founding member of the Rotary Club in Stayton, Oregon. John has enjoyed participating in all of the Rotary clubs where he has been a member over the last 35 years or so, and continues to contribute to the activities and projects initiated by the EJRC. He was club president in 2016-2017.
Rotarians worldwide participate and celebrate the week of the anniversary of Rotary’s founding as World Understanding and Peace Week. Rotary is all about friendship and collaboration in support of service above self. During this week, our Club will celebrate Rotary service, reflect upon our past achievements, and focus on programs of peace, understanding, and goodwill in the community and throughout the world.
Rotary's strategic plan sets the framework for our future, ensuring that we continue to be known as a respected, dynamic organization that advances communities worldwide.
As we stand on the cusp of eliminating polio, it time for us to create a new path toward bringing more people together, increasing our impact and creating even more lasting change around the world.
Rotary’s top global initiative is polio eradication. While there is still work to be done to finish the job, we can be proud of the incredible progress we’ve made, working with our partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI). As we begin 2019, here are five ways Rotary is making progress toward our top goal.

I was born, and grew up in Seattle but have lived in several regions in Washington State. I learned most of my outdoor skills in Scouts and sailed four years aboard the Adventurous.
In my travels over the past year, I've visited many strong, vibrant clubs and districts that are transforming their communities. When I attend their meetings, I can feel the energy. When I meet their members, I can see they are people of action. And when I look at their communities, I can recognize the impact of their work.
This post provides you a brief summary of one of the important continuing committee activities in our club, the Flag Project.
The Object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise.
