August is Membership and New Club Development Month,
which means it's time to celebrate your Rotary club, your members, and the good you do in your community and around the world.
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP
HERE'S HOW:
1. Learn more about Rotary Global Rewards, a new member benefit program that offers discounts on products and services – travel, hotels, car rentals, dining, and entertainment. Visit the Member Center.
2. Identify a need in your community and work with your club to design a hands-on project that addresses it.
4. Know a young leader? Tell him or her about Interact, Rotaract, Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA), and Rotary Youth Exchange.
5. Explore other clubs. Did you know that you’re welcome to attend any club’s meeting, anywhere in the world?
6. Try a new role. Clubs need leaders. Take the first step and ask where your club needs help.
7. Attend the next Rotary International Convention in Atlanta, Georgia. Enjoy inspiring talks from global leaders, celebrities, and activists. Meet members from around the world. It’s the ultimate way to understand the scope of Rotary. Register today.
8. Be part of history and help eradicate polio.
9. Use the resources in the Rotary Brand Center to help you communicate, inspire, and collaborate.
10. Meet other members who share your interests and passions through a Rotary Fellowship or Rotarian Action Group. There are about 70 groups, catering to everyone from cooking enthusiasts to water and sanitation project experts.
12. Support The Rotary Foundation. Contributions provide millions of dollars in grants that support our humanitarian service around the world.

DISTRICT HISTORY - WHAT'S YOUR STORY?
NO responses to my request for “your” story on
“your” involvement in Rotaplast!
Last Month’s District History Request:
Please share with me (and I will share them with the district via the District History with a new page dedicated to Rotaplast) your “story” of why you went on one or more of these trips, what your “job” was while on the trip and how you felt when you arrived and saw all the children in need of this surgery and how this may have changed your life. All of you that went on one or more of these trips are part of the District’s history and it should be shared with everyone in the District permanently via the District History pages.
I was hoping to get a few more Rotaplast stories and “history” about District Rotarians in July but unfortunately it did not happen. I know there are a lot more of you that have been on Rotaplast trips and I will accept them at any time.
This Month’s District History Request:
I would like to receive stories from our many members about their experiences in Rotary projects and this month we are going to focus on Camp Sunshine.
MY“story” this month is on Camp Sunshine on Sebago Lake. This is a camp for children and their families. There is a child in each the family with a life threatening disease and all the families there on a specific week have a child with similar diseases.
When I became District Governor in 1997, Immediate Past District Governor Craig Wellman wanted to know if we could do a project at Camp Sunshine as he did not get it done in his year. I agreed but required him to be the chair of that committee. Craig got many carpenters and non-carpenters involved. It became a district wide event! We were going to shingle and stain their activity center that was a quarter mile around it in one weekend in September. We constantly publicized it, encouraged Rotarians and families to come take part. We had bright yellow t-shirts ordered with the Rotary Wheel on the back along with Camp Sunshine logo. There were newspaper reporters and television cameras on site on Saturday along with over 350 Rotarians and family members. It was a site to behold – bright yellow backs all displaying Rotary and Camp Sunshine as they were busy working. I was never more proud to be a Rotarian! Everyone had a job whether it was putting up shingles, staining them, picking up scraps, delivering drinks to the workers and preparing and serving meals. We had one 80 old gentleman who wanted to help and putting him on a ladder or staging was not the thing to do so I had him help with registration. It was the best thing I did that day! He had so much enthusiasm it was contagious! We had food donated and the Wells Rotary Club put on a Chicken BBQ for those in attendance.
On Saturday night a group of “Rotary Workers” went into Windham to the grocery store still wearing their Yellow t-shirts and had people come up to them and say “we just saw you on TV” and wanted to know if they could help on Sunday! We had non-Rotarians show up on Sunday along with all the Rotarians again and guess what – “WE DID IT!” The entire building was shingled and stained by the time we stopped on Sunday. The owner and the contractor were both there and said they didn’t believe we could do it in one weekend! The contractor told me that Rotary saved Camp Sunshine $60,000 that weekend and that the area around the building was neater than if his crew had done it! I was so proud of this District and its Rotarians and thanks to PDG Craig Wellman, PDG George Rice and PP Lee Hanson, these guys were the driving force behind it, they made it happen in September 1997.
We will be traveling back to Lac-Mégantic on the weekend of Aug 5th – 7th. Tentative plans are to gather in Quebec during the afternoon/evening of Friday, August 5th, travel to Lac-Mégantic early on Saturday morning and spend the day there meeting and visiting places/people. Fire Chief Lauzon will be available for our revisit to see how things have changed in the community and amongst the residents.
The Agenda is developing further and subject to change before the visit. Accommodations are available in Lac-Mégantic. Tents, RVs and Popup trailers are also welcome lakeside at Roland’s place in Saint-Zacharie, where Friday and Saturday night will be full of fireside fun, food and fellowship.
Any Rotarians that are interested in revisiting Lac-Mégantic should send an email to Biddeford-Saco Rotarian Roland Gagne at rotaryroland@gmail.com for further details.
As of July 1, 2016, Ted Trainer, from the Kennebunk Portside Club, will be the new District Treasurer, replacing Patty Rice, from the Oxford Hills Club, after her 3 year term. Ted’s contact info is teddytrainer@gmail.com and his cell phone number is 207-468-4535. Any requests for reimbursement or invoices to be paid, will require a reimbursement request form be completed and emailed to Ted, along with appropriate receipts. This form can be found on the District 7780 website, (rotary7780.org) on the home page, on the left-hand column, under ‘downloads’.
The budget can also be found on the District website, on the home page, on the left-hand column, under‘District Communications’, ‘finance committee’, ‘related pages’, ‘members only info’, login using your Clubrunner login name and password, and then under ‘budgets’. Use this to find your budget line item number for the reimbursement request form.
Sarah Youngclaus Smith from the Portsmouth Club, will continue her duties as the District Bookkeeper.
Also, per the updated Finance Committee Bylaws & Policies and Procedures, all reimbursement requests and all monies collected for District events must be turned over to the Treasurer within 60 days of the event or the expense. All end-of-year monies and bills MUST be turned in to the Treasurer by July 31. Requests for reimbursements not turned in within 60 days of the expense or event will be considered a ‘donation to the District’.
Planned Giving - Celebrating the Centennial of our Rotary Foundation
A SIMPLE WAY TO MAKE A LEGACY GIFT
Life insurance can be a great way to make a generous gift to charity. Many people have policies that are no longer needed to provide for loved ones. They may not think of these policies as assets available for charitable giving. What could be simpler than naming The Rotary Foundation as the beneficiary of an insurance policy? Encourage Rotarians you know to consider turning an unneeded policy into a gift that helps secure the future of The Rotary Foundation.
The ABCs OF INSURANCE GIFTS TO ROTARY
Like most charities, Rotary has a Gift Acceptance Policy that covers insurance gifts. Here is a summary for your quick and easy reference:
Anyone can name The Rotary Foundation as the beneficiary of any life insurance policy, at any age, for any amount. The gift might not qualify for recognition or tax benefits, but the proceeds will ultimately support the many important activities of the Foundation, such as clean water or peace studies.
District Wide Vision Events To Be Held Starting In September
There is some exciting news afoot! The District Vision/Planning Committee has been asked to work with District Governor Marge Barker, DG Elect Dave Underhill and DG Designate John Lobosco to implement a series of Visioning Events to move our district and clubs forward to the future by developing a District long term plan!
These Visioning Events will follow a similar club vision process, but with input from a wide and diverse cross section of our membership. The goal is to inform the District of how it can help build stronger clubs, (through membership support, District and club leadership support, succession planning, enhanced public relations and inter-club collaboration). THEN, a long term plan to implement those newly identified goals, and to help build a stronger organization, can be developed!
Governor Marge is asking each club in the District to consider sponsoring some type of activity or event to raise money and/or awareness regarding Rotary’s long-standing campaign to end polio. It can be an activity specific to your club, or clubs can work together.
We are hoping that this will take place on the weekend of October 21-22 (October 24 is World Polio Day).
A number of clubs are already planning. The Seacoast Portsmouth RC will be holding the third "Bridge the Gap to End Polio" walk over the Portsmouth-Kittery bridge and the Saco Bay RC is planning a bridge walk on the bridge between Biddeford and Saco. The Portland Sunrise RC is planning a 5K "Run the World" in Portland’s Back Cove with polio awareness being front and center. The Rotary Clubs in Area Nine (Oxford Hills, River Valley, Bethel, Fryeburg, and Bridgton-Lake Region) are planning to attend school assemblies in their towns to raise awareness about polio.
As Polio Plus Chair on our District Foundation Committee, I’m happy to assist you in any way I can. If you club is already planning something, please send me information about it, and, going forward, let me know if and when you plan to get involved. My email is lkfurbish@mac.com and my phone is 207-490-6840. I know you have heard it before, but wereallyarethisclose, but we’re not there yet and weabsolutelyhavetofinish!

DDF Match Increase
Wonderful news! As you are aware, the amount of funds the District has available to support District and Global Grants is directly proportional to the amount of money District Rotarians contribute to the Annual Fund of The Rotary Foundation.
Because Rotarians across the District have significantly increased their philanthropic giving to the Annual Fund of The Rotary Foundation over the past few years, the District Foundation Committee has been able to increase the DDF “match” for Global Grants.
The new match guidelines are as follows:
If a Global Grant is supported by one District 7780 club, the District will match club cash dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000.
If a Global Grant is financially supported by two 7780 clubs – and assuming each club donates a minimum of $500 to the grant – the District will match dollar-for-dollar up to $15,000.
If a Global Grant is financially supported by three or more 7780 clubs – and assuming that each club donates a minimum of $500 to the grant – the District will match dollar-for-dollar up to $20,000.
These amounts are in addition to the “matches” that take place with World Fund monies at the International level. And it’s important to realize that these amounts are guidelines – if enough District clubs are involved, the Committee is always willing to consider higher “matches” on a case by case basis.
Congratulations! District 7780 Rotarians have donated these funds to The Rotary Foundation, and it is only right that District 7780 Rotarians should spend them via Rotary Foundation grants.
This change is effective with all Global Grants approved at the District level starting July 1, 2016.
Marty Helman, District Foundation Chair

DISTRICT LITERACY PROJECT
Rotary Clubs in our District have a long tradition of supporting basic education and literacy through various club projects such as school partnerships, or distributing dictionaries to first and third graders, or the Yes, Rotary Reads project.
Now more than ever, the help of Rotary Clubs is needed to support the teachers and schools to get students proficient school supplies by the end of September for the upcoming school year.
All members of District 7780 will have a hands on opportunity to help out at Ruth's Reusable Resources (www.ruths.org) in Portland, ME on September 17, 2016 from 9am-2pm. We have not finalized all details yet; however, registration will open around the middle of August on the District website.
The day will be very busy because the school year has started, and teachers will shop for the supplies they need to help their students succeed. Volunteers’ tasks will be taking loaded carts out to teachers’ cars, passing items out the loading dock door, restocking popular items in the teacher store, helping at sign-in and check-out, or stocking in the warehouse if we have Rotarians with muscles.
One of the messages on Ruth’s Board reads – “A hundred years from now it will not matter what your bank account was, the sort of house you lived in or the kind of car you drove… But the world may be different because you were important in the life of a child”
We will contact all clubs as soon we have all details and registration is open. In the meantime, put the date on your calendar! If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact District Literacy Co-Chairs Kerstin Kirchner, kerstinkrchnr@gmail.com or Terry Hodskins, vagabond04@roadrunner.com.
13 Clubs Receive Over $35,000 in District Grant Funding
A total of 13 clubs went through the process of “qualifying” and applied for District Grants in June. Earlier this month, all 13 clubs learned that their applications had met all requirements and that they would receive funding for their grants. The individual club awards range from $1178 to $3500.
Nine local project and four international ones are now beginning to get underway as a direct result of this funding. In each case, the clubs determined the project and will take complete responsibility for the work and the results. The clubs and projects are:
District Rotarians Surpass Giving Goals in 2015-16
The final tally is in, and District Foundation giving in the year just ended exceeded very high expectations. Overall, Rotarians throughout the District gave a total of $212,657 to the Annual Fund, which comes out to $129.99 per capita! This compares with the previous year’s total of $213,951 or $132.64 per capita, which was and remains a District record. The 2015-16 results are remarkable, and include per capita giving by 23 of our 40 clubs. These clubs are:
The Rotary Club of Bath Sunrise welcomed two new members into their club, Alexandria (Alex) Driscoll from Bath and Gwyneth Arrison, a transferring member from Freeport.
The Rotary Club of Bath Sunrise
We had a VERY busy meeting the morning of July 15th. The largest group of visitors and guests and members in a long time!

Thanks to everyone for making an informative, fun and enjoyable breakfast!!!!!
The Rotary Club of Biddeford-Saco
RECEIVES PRELIMINARY APPROVAL FOR GLOBAL GRANT
The Biddeford-Saco Rotary Club has received preliminary approval from The Rotary Foundation, after many challenging hurdles, for a Global Grant to support the educational needs of urban refugee children in the Hashami Shamali neighborhood of Amman, Jordan. The grant will focus on education “catch-up” for refugee children. Social and financial barriers to urban refugee youth attending school are addressed by participating in formal and informal education. Children aged 6-12 will attend enriched after school activities. And teens will receive leadership and communication skills training that will enable them to step into the role of mentors in the after school programming. Here’s a video to the refugee children: https://vimeo.com/147503066
Rotary Clubs and Districts in ME, PA and Jordan have committed about 75% of the funds needed for this US$186,501 grant. Any clubs looking to participate in this critical and much needed Global Grant should reach out to Roland Gagne at rotaryroland@gmail.com to express your interest and to request more information. Fundraising activities continue and we are hopeful of more club and District participation, including Districts in Turkey and Egypt. Thank you to District 7780, Biddeford-Saco, Saco Bay, Boothbay Harbor and York Rotary Clubs for participating in this grant.

The Rotary Club of Kennebunk Portside
"SERVICE ABOVE SELF" ESSAY WINNER
Kennebunk Portside Rotary’s president, Peggy Belanger, awarded fifth grader Isabelle Levesque of Mildred Day School a check for $200 at a recent RSU 21 School Board meeting. Isabelle is this year’s winner of Portside Rotary’s “Service Above Self” essay contest and was asked to read her essay to the School Board.
For the past ten years the club has sponsored the contest challenging students to write creatively to answer the question: What would you do with $200 to make your community better? This year, for the first time, Kennebunk Portside Rotary has taken the theoretical writing prompt and turned it into a “real” program by providing $200 dollars to the winning essayist in order to support the student in the execution of his/her idea. Students from Kennebunkport Consolidated School, Sea Road School (Kennebunk) and Mildred L Day School (Arundel) wrote essays as a classroom activity. Eight finalists from the three schools were invited to read their essays at a special Rotary breakfast meeting hosted at Sea Road School.
The finalist essays were reviewed by a team of Rotarians and Isabelle’s essay was selected based on her winning idea for a creative use of the $200 prize. Isabelle conceived of spending the money to provide wooden boxes filled with first aid supplies in prominent spots in the community. The boxes were to be built by her grandfather and the filled boxes made available for public use. A team of Rotarians, including Peg Belanger, Jim Burke and Karen Schlegel will work with Isabelle and her family to implement the project.
