The Chain (ICT Edition) Nov 2020

ROTARY INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT MESSAGE As I look back on 2020, I reflect on how our lives have changed. The global COVID- 19 pandemic brought pain and loss to many of us. And for almost all of us, our daily lives, family time, and work also changed this year. But we've made it to the end of this difficult year, not on our own but by reaching out to one another, as we always do in Rotary. With each passing year, I become prouder of our organization. I will choose to remember 2020 as a year of great change and strength for us; Rotary didn't stop, despite the pandemic. We removed obstacles, found new ways to connect, and embraced new approaches to service, such as online projects and virtual fundraising. I have invited two Rotarians to share their stories about how Rotary grew stronger this year. RTN HOLGER KNAACK When the pandemic shut everything down, our emerging e-club was already providing digital service, including internationally. Fourteen U.S. women and I, RI PRESIDENT (2020-21) members of multiple Rotary clubs, were using WhatsApp to mentor women entrepreneurs in rural Costa Rica, helping them to grow their ecotourism business, RETUS Tours [the subject of the magazine's May cover story, \"Nature & Nurture\"]. The project has grown, with 30 Rotarians now providing consulting and help with the RETUS website and social media. Most importantly, we continue building relationships and empowering these women to transform their own lives, and we are doing it online. I've even helped one of the women, Rosa, prepare a presentation in English for an online international conference. While our engagement with the Costa Rican women still requires some hands-on activity, the most transformative impacts haven't had to be in person. — Liza Larson, Rotary E-Club Engage and Rotary Club of Plano East, Texas I was president of my club when COVID-19 hit, and many members didn't yet have Zoom. Only 10 of our 53 members participated in the first Zoom meeting during the pandemic. I thought that reaching out and getting guest speakers from around the world to engage our members would help. Many Rotary leaders, a Rotary Peace Fellow, and even RI President Holger Knaack visited virtually and spoke to our club. Meeting attendance improved, while we reduced running costs by cutting out meals. Some members who worked outside our city and had missed our meetings even rejoined us. Registering our online meetings on My Rotary enhanced contacts with clubs across the world, and the joint meeting addressed by Holger attracted more than 300 visitors. We also raised more funds as members and visitors contributed to our projects. To continue being flexible for all, we are now offering hybrid meetings. For me, 2020 has been the best year in Rotary as I've made many new friends. — Blessing Michael, Rotary Club of Port Harcourt North, Nigeria These stories should give us all reasons to be optimistic about Rotary in the year ahead. We are not just surviving; we are gaining strength. We are discovering how resilient our organization truly is. We are seeing for ourselves how Rotary Opens Opportunities — even during pandemics — to grow, connect, and engage our members and the communities we serve. From our home in Ratzeburg to yours, Susanne and I would like to bid you and your family the warmest of season's greetings. We can't wait to see the good things that 2021 will bring.

3250 Dear
Rotaractors
!
 Greetings
to
you
-
Rotaractors
of
RD:3250 Circumvented
by
the
new
normal,
social
and
procedures
,
adopted
and
accepted
world
over
due
to
the
 ongoing
pandemic,
half
the
Rotary
/
Rotaract
year
is
over.
 You
are
young
people
who
are
committed
to
Rotary
ideals,
who
are
pouring
their
hearts
into
service,
 and
who,
in
the
process,
don't
forget
to
have
fun.
 You,
Rotaractors
are
blazing
the
path
for
Rotary
to
be
more
relevant
in
this
new
century
of
service.
 With
the
shift
of
rules
and
tendencies,
when
Rotaractors
are
ready
to
leave
their
Rotaract
club,
we
 don't
want
them
to
leave
that
Rotary
family
behind.
We
are
asking
all
Rotarians
to
help
them
make
the
 transition
into
a
Rotary
club
or
to
start
a
new
one:
We
would
happy
to
charter
as
many
new
clubs
as
we
 need
to
give
everyone
a
place
where
they
feel
at
home
while
making
the
world
a
little
better.
Service
 should
be
fun,
it
should
be
inspirational,
and
it
should
be
open
to
all.
 If
there's
one
thing
Rotary
has
always
excelled
at,
it's
diversity
of
profession,
nationality,
and
outlook.
 We've
made
great
strides
when
it
comes
to
diversity
of
age
and
gender,
and
as
we
welcome
more
 Rotaractors
into
our
organization,
we'll
become
even
stronger.
 Rotary
is
powerful.
Together
with
Rotaractors,
it
is
unstoppable.
Working
side
by
side,
we
have
the
 potential
to
Be
the
Inspiration
in
every
part
of
society,
to
every
person
we
meet.
Wish
you
the
very
 best
Rotary,
Rotaract
and
life
has
to
offer.

seemed
like
only
yesterday
when
we
started
this
fantastic

And
 here
 we
 are
 almost
 halfway
 through
 our
 journey.
 When
 the
 Year
 2020
 started,
 nobody
 knew
 what
 was
 about
 to
 come.
 We
 all
 were
 hit
 by
 the
 pandemic,
and
everything
changed.
When
people
were
stranded
at
places
 and
restricted
to
move,
the
only
way
we
could
stay
in
touch
with
our
family
 and
friends
was
through
technology,
be
it
via
social
media
or
telephonic
 medium.
This
pandemic
has
made
us
realise
how
technology
has
acquired
a
 significant
part
of
our

We

 more

Meet Rotary's Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Taskforce As one of Rotary's Core Values, diversity should be one of our great strengths. We should be proud that Rotary reflects so many cultures, generations, and lived experiences, and offers the potential for countless leaders to tap into those experiences to make a difference. As a sign of our commitment to creating an organization that sets the standard for valuing and living the principals of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), the Rotary International Board adopted Rotary's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion statement in January 2019. While progress has been made, we need a concrete plan to make sure that DEI are ingrained into everything that we do as an organization and reflected in the actions Rotary takes as we engage with the communities we serve. In September 2020 we formed a DEI Taskforce that is charged with shaping a comprehensive action plan with achievable, measurable, and meaningful outcomes for Rotary. We tapped into the expertise of Rotary participants around the globe for this taskforce. They will devise a plan that assesses the current state of DEI at Rotary and articulates a vision that incorporates regional differences, needs and priorities. And as key decisions are made and our plan takes shape, we will continue to share information with you. Our thanks go to the members of the taskforce, which is led by our Chairs, and members of the Board, Valarie Wafer and Jan Lucas Ket, as well as member of the Trustees, Geeta Manek.
