District Governor Message
Alex & Julie
Welcome to the month of March and the completion of another successful President Elect Training Seminar here in Seattle (PETS). We just finished the main training for the incoming Presidents and they are excited to start the new year in July. Get ready for another great Rotary Year coming soon. The RI Focus in March is Water & Sanitation which is one of the basic elements for life here on earth. I want to thank all of our clubs who are already engaged in providing clean water and facilities to ensure health & hygiene for those who need it most. Please register for the upcoming 2018 District Conference in Tulalip, April 27-29. We will be honoring our clubs and the accomplishments we have all made as Rotarians this year. The breakout sessions are diverse and offer many different topics for Rotarians and non-Rotarians. Please invite family, friends and future Rotarians to the conference as it’s a great example of what we can achieve through Rotary. Thank you for all you do for your club!

Spruce Street Center Kitchen Makeover Seattle Rotary celebrated the completion of the kitchen renovation of the Spruce St center for youth. It was a project funded in part by the Seattle Rotary Service Foundation and many Rotarians donated their time, talent, and professional expertise. The project was spear-headed by Virginia McKenzie, with Daron Vchulek and the Community Relations committee providing the leadership and hands-on work. Bill Fetterley donated his architectural skills for the design work. The event was climaxed with the unveiling of a Peace Pole on the grounds.

Our Rotary Women Rock at Climbing the Highest Mountains
Cathy Gibson, District Governor Designee and Past Seattle 4 President has been in Indonesia this month to climb Mt. Carstensz Pyramid. This completed Gibson's goal of climbing all of the 7 Summits. She was the 3rd American woman to climb Mt. Everest and is now and has now accomplished what few women have done.
At 16,024ft, it is the highest peak in Australia-Oceania and one of the Seven Summits. The Seven Summits are the highest mountains on each of the seven continents.
Another Seattle 4 member, Sue Ershler, was the 5th American Woman to climb the Seven Summits and the 12th American Woman to climb Mt. Everest. The Ershlers became the first couple in history to climb the Seven Summits together.

Music4Life Receives WMEA’s “Friend of Music Award”
Music4Life™ has received the coveted “Friend of Music Award” from the Washington Music Educators Association (WMEA). The award was presented upon nomination by the the WMEA’s Sno-King Region and by Immediate Past WMEA President Scott Barnes of Edmonds Public Schools.
“This award recognizes … an organization that has distinguished themselves by supporting music education in a significant way,” Barnes says. “You are a most deserving recipient of this recognition … Thank you for helping to make a difference in the lives of students through music education.” It’s the second time in five years that Music4Life has received the award. The WMEA is comprised of music teachers at secondary schools, colleges and universities from throughout the state of Washington.
“The sole purpose of Music4life is to help families across the very first barrier they encounter, the acquisition of the musical instrument in the first place,” says Music4Life Co-Founder / President David Endicott. “Even in today’s recovering economy, many families can’t even afford to rent a musical instrument. In our minds, it’s as much an educational program as it is an instrumental music program.”
Music4Life ( www.Music4Life.org ) provides musical instruments to participating schools for students in need. The Seattle-based non-profit acquires instruments from adults who no longer need
them, gets them repaired (if possible) and then provides them to participating public school districts for use by students in need. Music4Life operates programs supporting Bremerton, Edmonds, Everett, Highline, Mukilteo, Northshore, Seattle and Shoreline Public Schools. The program acquires used instruments from those who understand that their highest and best use is to put them back into play. Music4Life also accepts donations to help pay for instrument repairs.
Music4Life enjoys the support of notable music advocates and other community leaders. Gerard Schwarz, world-renowned conductor laureate of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, has endorsed the program, saying, “This wonderful program begins with children in elementary school at a time when, if they’re interested and talented in any way, they have the greatest chance of success. Many people tell me of the impact that direct knowledge of instrumental music has had on their lives. We intend to give this advantage to all our children.”
Music4Life™ is supported in part by grants from First Choice Health; 4Culture (formerly the Seattle-King County Arts Commission); the Knossos Foundation; the Hazel Miller Foundation; various local Rotary, Lions and Kiwanis clubs; the Highline Schools Foundation; as well as by the law firm of Garvey Schubert Barer; Seattle Symphony Orchestra; the Seattle Folklife Festival; Rafael Carrabba Violins; Lamar Advertising; Encore Media Group; GMA Research; Cascade Symphony Orchestra; Randy Oxford Entertainment; the Stacy Jones Band; the Edmonds Center for the Arts; Kennelly Keys Music stores; Hammond Ashley Violins in Issaquah; Ted Brown Music; Bischofberger Violins; Olsen Violins; InMove.com and others.

Be Brave. Be Inspired. Be a Volunteer.
The Special Olympics USA Games will take place in Seattle in July 2018. From July 1 - 6, 2018. More than 4,000 athletes and coaches from all 50 states and the District of Columbia will descend upon Seattle and the surrounding region.
If you can give of the time in your life so that Special Olympics athletes can have the time of their lives,
If you can support Special Olympics, not just as an expression of charity, but as a form of respect for your fellow human beings,
If you can spread the word of volunteerism because, in giving, you receive so much more in return,
Then, join us.
We’re building a powerful team of 10,000 volunteers to celebrate athletes with intellectual disabilities, transform lives through world-class competition, and deliver an inspirational Pacific Northwest experience of inclusion.
From sports competition and special event assistance, to emergency management and behind-the-scenes operations, volunteers of every skill and experience level will contribute to the success of the Special Olympics USA Games.
Positions available from June 29 - July 7.

Please let Lisa Latchford, University District Rotary, know if you would like to volunteer for the opening ceremony. [email protected]
Rotary Club of Kirkland Help feed kids
When school is in session, low income kids in Kirkland know that there is going to be a meal every day they receive. This meal helps make the difference between being nourished for the day or going to bed hungry. With school breaks coming up, Rotary just wanted to make sure families in need had a little extra in the coming weeks. With the help of many club members including President Steve Shinstrom, food was purchased
and boxed at the Shinstrom offices in the hopes of putting eleven boxes of food together. However, with the kind giving by many, 26 boxes of food were prepared for distribution. In addition to the food, gift cards were included to round out the menu items for each family. This food was delivered to Nourishing Network as part of their effort to feed hungry Kirkland kids during Mid Winter Break and we were happy to be a part of that.
Vashon Island Rotarians Aid in Polio Eradication Efforts
Vashon Island Rotarians Earl and Pamela Godt traveled to RI District 3110 in India. They were participating in the Mega Polio Immunization Campaign targeting children under
the age of five. From January 3 - 15. They joined 60 other Rotarians from 6 other countries (Canada, Mexico, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand) giving Polio Immunization drops to over 3000 children. In addition, there were visits to other ongoing Rotary projects in the area around Agra, Jaipur, and Delhi (school supplies to two schools, improved toilet sanitation blocks, a rug weaving coop, and a maternity hospital). Earl and Pamela delivered a donation from the Vashon Island Rotary Club Foundation to the Rotary Club of Agra for the purchase of two beds for the maternity hospital.

Zero Cases Reported Since January 6, 2018
After a disappointing start this year, there have been no new cases of polio reported in Afghanistan since the first week of January. None reported in Pakistan since November 15, 2017. Intensive vaccination campaigns continue in both countries.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Discovery Center opened a new exhibit on March 1. Countdown to Zero: Defeating Disease explores how the global community is working together to combat several diseases including polio. The exhibit was developed by The American Museum of Natural History in New York, The Carter Center in Atlanta and the Foundation. https://www.gatesfoundation.org/Discovery-Center
For a concise summary of Rotary’s role in the polio campaign and the current status, I recommend this:
Polio Cases reported as of Feb 28, 2018 By the Global Polio Eradication Initiative
TALKING POINTS: POLIOPLUS
ROTARY’S ROLE
As the volunteer arm of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, polio eradication is Rotary’s top philanthropic goal. We were the catalyst to the effort. Rotary’s chief role is fundraising, advocacy, raising awareness and mobilizing volunteers.
• Rotary’s involvement started with a successful pilot project to immunize children in the Philippines in 1979.
• Since 1985, polio eradication has been Rotary’s flagship project, with members donating time and money to help immunize more than 2.5 billion children in 122 countries.
• In addition to fundraising and advocacy efforts, many Rotary members join health workers in polio-affected countries to immunize children against polio.
• Rotary members around the world advocate to ensure governments, the private sector and the general public are aware of the historic opportunity to eradicate polio and encourage them to provide the necessary financial and political support.
• Rotary has committed to raising US$50 million per year over the next three years in support of global polio eradication efforts. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation will match Rotary’s commitment 2:1.
• Rotary has contributed more than US$1.8 billion dollars and committed countless volunteer hours to fight the disease.
STATUS OF POLIO ERADICATION
Since the global initiative began more than 25 years ago, Rotary and its partners have reduced polio cases by more than 99.9% percent worldwide.
• When the initiative started in 1988, more than 350,000 people were stricken by polio every year - nearly 1,000 new polio cases every day.
• To date in 2018, 3 polio cases have been reported.
• There were only 22 cases of polio reported in 2017.
• In 2014, we celebrated one of the world’s greatest achievements in global health: India being certified as polio-free. India was once considered the hardest place on earth to stop polio. India’s success proves polio can be stopped in even the most challenging conditions.
• After passing two years without a case of polio, new cases were reported in Nigeria in August 2016. Progress against this outbreak seems promising; however, up to 400,000 children remain inaccessible to health workers. The program continues to find innovative ways to immunize and monitor children in hard-to-reach locations.
• In September 2015, type 2 wild poliovirus was declared eradicated by the World Health Organization. The last case of type 3 wild poliovirus was 10 November 2012. This strongly indicates that we have completely eliminated all but one strain of wild poliovirus (type 1).
WHY POLIO? • Polio will be only the second human disease ever eradicated
(after smallpox).
• No child anywhere in the world will have to suffer from a disease which has no cure, but is completely preventable.
• Ending polio is proof that all children can be protected from vaccine-preventable diseases.
• Polio efforts are reaching previously inaccessible children, which opens the door to them benefiting from other global health and development resources.
• The infrastructure created by the polio program – from the vast surveillance and laboratory networks, to the hundreds of thousands of local health workers – are already being used to address other health challenges and diseases.
CALL TO ACTION • Support the fight to end polio by visiting endpolio.org to learn
more and contribute.
• Encourage your government to support Rotary and its partners’ polio eradication efforts.
• See your donation tripled when you contribute to Rotary’s PolioPlus efforts, through the 2:1 match by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
• Share your voice by raising awareness that we are “This Close” to ending polio.

ROTARY YOUTH EXCHANGE
These are exciting times for the six students from 5030 who will spend a year on the Long Program of Rotary Youth Exchange. Each of them is making an exchange with another country.
Sean Brynildson, sponsored by Mercer Island Rotary, to Italy Auden Finch, sponsored by Mercer Island Rotary, to Germany Lilly Hogan, sponsored by Shoreline Rotary, to New Zealand Marisa McTighe, sponsored by Vashon Rotary, to Chile Claire Miller, sponsored by Shoreline Rotary, to France Claire Turner, sponsored by Bellevue Rotary, to Germany
The 6 Short Program students are waiting for their exchange placements and we will share those with you next month.
On March 3, 2018 our 12 students and their parents will attend their first orientation session where they will be exposed to life in a foreign country and a new educational experience. They will hear from present and past exchange students, present and past host parents, and experts on travel and medical insurance, international air travel and student Visa requirements. All Rotarians will have the opportunity to meet and greet these outstanding students and this year’s inbound students at the District Conference.
All Rotary Clubs can sponsor a student for Youth Exchange – 90 years of changing lives, person-to-person diplomacy and growing Rotary membership. Family members of Rotarians are eligible.
Presidents-elect learned more about Youth Exchange and the other youth programs at PETS on February 25.
INTERACT
District Conference: April 27-29 is fast approaching, and since it is very close this year at the Tulalip Casino, we have a great opportunity to invite our Interact members. There is a $199 one-day option for Saturday (no overnight stay at the hotel), and the district will reimburse our clubs $100 each for the first 20
registrations we receive (maximum 2 registrations per club). We will have many options for Interact members on Saturday, including plenary and breakout sessions led by Rotaractors and a special Youth Service reception. Contact Susan Beals for details at (206) 619-5809 or [email protected].
ROTARACT
Has your Rotary club considered getting involved with Rotaract? If not, you might want to consider doing so now. This year Rotaract observes its fiftieth anniversary. Currently, there are 10,904 Rotaract clubs with 250,792 members in 184 countries, worldwide.
In our own district there are seven dynamic Rotaract clubs, including the newly formed Green River College Rotaract in Auburn and Northwest University Rotaract in Kirkland. To see other district Rotaract clubs, check here: 5030rotaract.org At this year’s district conference, you’ll notice a substantial Rotaract presence as our district’s Rotaract members take on major responsibilities for the conference program, even including a hands-on service project for all conference attendees. Be sure to register for the conference, so you can see these energetic young Rotarians in action. Sign up for the conference, April 27-29, here: https://www.rotarycon2018.org/ All in all, you’ll be impressed with these very capable, very motivated young people. So impressed that you’ll want to get involved with Rotaract yourself, if you aren’t already. You can learn more about Rotaract on the RI website here: https://www.rotary.org/en/get-involved/rotaract-clubs
RYLA
This year’s Rotary Youth Leadership Awards Conference is almost here. If you have registered high school students to attend this year’s program at PLU, and they have not previously attended one of your Rotary meetings, consider inviting them to a club meeting before they attend the RYLA conference scheduled from March 15-18. This is especially important if your RYLA attendees are not Interact club members and are not familiar yet with Rotary. We want them all to know who is sponsoring them, and why your club chose them. Last year we even had a few students who could not tell us which organization was responsible for their selection, and these students had little information about the great work we do through Rotary. Let’s make sure that they know us before they go to RYLA!

Rotarians & the New U.S. Tax Laws
The experts have estimated that the total to all non-profits may see a reduction in giving. However, the best organizations like The Rotary Foundation (TRF) and our own club projects may not be adversely affected. After all, no one donates to Rotary just for the tax break. We give because we believe in what Rotary does in our communities and in the world. We give because we want to be part of the solution. Because Rotary does an excellent job helping us make a difference and because Rotary continues to earn the respect and highest ratings of all US non-profit organizations. TRF earned the highest possible scores from Charity Navigator for exceeding industry standards, transparency and for efficiency and was recognized in 2017 as the World’s Most Outstanding Foundation by the Association Of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) and a Top 3 Charites Changing the World by MSNBC. We want make sure that our members know the value of what we do. We want to talk about their needs and concerns. TRF free tax reform and charitable panning guide can be found here: https://rotary.planmygift.org/documents/stelter/downloads/tax-reform-and-charitable-giving.pdf Every single persons tax situation is different. It is nice to qualify for tax breaks. Some situations may allow an increase in giving. Many of our members who have itemized deductions in the past will not do so in the future, some will pay less tax and some will pay more. Your CPA or tax advisor is the best person to consult for your individual charitable strategy. The sky isn’t going to fall, but the theme for 2018 will be change. Your Rotary District Foundation team can help. TRF Chair Mike Montgomery at [email protected] Endowment Fund Chair Gene Lipitz at [email protected] Rotary Foundation Staff are also here to help and provide the necessary information to make a gift.

Dear Fellow Rotarians:
I thought I should give you a status report of your contributions to The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International (TRF). The attached file names the top 15 clubs in both contributions YTD to the Annual Fund and Per Capita figures through the end of February.
I am pleased to tell you that you are doing very well at both contributing to TRF and using the money available to us for humanitarian and educational program grants locally and
internationally. We have disbursed about 85% of the $147,145 District Grant we received back in October to 18 clubs' projects... most here in the district, but also in Thailand, Guatemala, and the Republic of Tanzania.
You have also launched about a dozen (approved and funded) Global Grants all over the globe.... to which the district provided about $175,000 in matching funds from the District Designated Fund (DDF), and TRF's World Fund matched that! Remember to keep your club aware of the grant projects you have in development or underway! You have much to be proud of.
The Grants committee will be hosting a one-on-one workshop at the District Conference next month, if you or any of your fellow Rotarians are interested in pursuing a grant --but a little nervous about just how to get started or how much is really required.
You have four months to reach your goal... keep charging. Shoot for $150 per capita and let us know if we can help.
