WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO:

ROTARY – People of Action

Rotary is where neighbours, friends, and problem-solvers share ideas, join leaders, and take action to create lasting change.

See: http://video.rotary.org/EgFi/ia17-people-of-action-public-image-campaign-launch-joe-otin/

 

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.

 

Rotary Code of Conduct provides a framework for ethical behavior that all Rotarians can use, together with The Four-Way Test, in their business and professional activities.

ROTARY CODE OF CONDUCT

As a Rotarian, I will

  1. Exemplify the core value of integrity in all behaviors and activities

  2. Use my vocational experience and talents to serve in Rotary

  3. Conduct all of my personal, business, and professional affairs ethically, encouraging and fostering high ethical standards as an example to others

  4. Be fair in all dealings with others and treat them with the respect due to them as fellow human beings

  5. Promote recognition and respect for all occupations which are useful to society

  6. Offer my vocational talents: to provide opportunities for young people, to work for the relief of the special needs of others, and to improve the quality of life in my community

  7. Honor the trust that Rotary and fellow Rotarians provide and not do anything that will bring disfavor or reflect adversely on Rotary or fellow Rotarians

  8. Not seek from a fellow Rotarian a privilege or advantage not normally accorded others in a business or professional relationship

 

THE ROTARY FOUR-WAY TEST

of things we think, say and do:

  1. Is it the truth

  2. Is it fair to all concerned?

  3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?

  4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

GUEST SPEAKER:

Sue MacKinnon introduced our Guest Speaker Fred Mandryk , Past President of the Bowmanville Rotary Club, to speak to us about Kids Against Hunger.

Fred first got involved with Kids Against Hunger in 2012 when he was immediate Past President of the Bowmanville Club.

He organized an event during Apple Fest where 200 people packed 17,000 meals in 3 hours. The Bowmanville Club became a satellite for Kids Against Hunger, paid out $8,000 for the equipment. Now a number of District 7070 and 7010 clubs are doing it. Over 6 years raising $925,000 and packaging 950,000 meals.

Fred showed (with help from Carolina) a documentary on the programme “Full of Heart” by Ryan Coleman, which explained the food packaging process for Kids Against Hunger. Here is a link to the video: https://vimeo.com/178629276.

Peterborough Rotary Club has a goal to package 1,000,000 meals (over 5 years) . They have a website and are hoping to reach their goal over 5 years. You can go to onemillionmealsPeterborough.com and find FAQs about the Kids Against Hunger program.

The meals that are packaged can be designated – there are over 40 countries that receive the packaged rice meals. However, you can also direct them to local food banks, or First Nations Communities, You can direct part of the packages your club prepares to multiples places.

Between two Rotary clubs, the cost is $5,000 and this will allow for 14,726 meals to be packaged. Whitby-Sunrise is on board with Oshawa-Parkwood in this project. All the clubs need is to have the funds, the location and the date, and to get 36 volunteers for 3 hours on the packaging date.

Dave Penney gave thanks to Fred for the presentation. President Ted Morrison believes we should target a date in May to have a day of hands on work for Kids Against Hunger. Possibly we could add Oshawa Rotary Club and make even more meal packages.
