February 23, 2021 Meeting Notes

President Earl Crowe started the meeting at 8:00 am with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Carol Adamson lead the club with the Invocation.

Rotary Moment

Earl continued the Rotary Moment theme of "Women in Rotary".

Earl added to the Rotary story regarding women joining Rotary clubs as members. After the California Supreme Court refused to hear the case of women joining Rotary, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against discriminating against women and ruled that Rotary must accept women members in 1987. On May 28, 1987, the Marin Sunrise Rotary Club of Marin, California accepted the first woman in Rotary after that historic U.S. Supreme Court ruling. We are honored with the women of Rotary worldwide! Within our Wenatchee Sunrise Rotary Club, 30% of our members are women, some in executive positions!

Today is also World Rotary Day! Rotary is 116 years old.

Announcements

President Earl presented Jackie Rector a certificate and pin proclaiming her as Rotarian of the Month, February, 2021! Although she is a relatively new member, she was instrumental in advertising, collecting and distributing the Valentine gift bags for the women and children of The Grace House in Wenatchee. Well done, Jackie!

Earl thanked Kathleen for exploring the possibility of having a hybrid meeting at Pybus. More on this later, but it looks like it might work very well for our meetings in the future.

Kathleen reminded the club of RLO (Rotary Learning Online, an off-shoot of the Rotary Learning Institute) is being conducted within District 5060 on Monday, March 9, 2021. 4:30-6:00 PM PST. Register in advance for this training: Rotary Learning Online Registration link

Kathleen introduced Karen Gallie, the owner of Learning Well. Karen is also a former tutor at the Tutor Doctor. She is affiliated with Saddle Rock Evangelical Church, and a neighbor of club member Rani Sampson. Learning Well is project-based learning and a recent project involves Tiny Houses. This improves the math and language skills of the 4th and 5th graders in the program. They will design a
Tiny Home (400 square feet) and build a model later this coming

month. Community visits for the students, included The Lighthouse Ministry, to determine the needs of those who would live in a Tiny Home. The students use data to calculate the reduce the carbon footprint, thus reducing the impact on the environment.

In April-June of 2021, she would like to get Rotary club(s) involved. President Earl said he would bring it up to the Board of Directors at the next meeting on Mon., March 8th. Club members suggested getting the Interact Club and Eagle Scouts involved.

Brags and Confessions

Milt received a call from his former Challenge Scholarship mentee. While Milt was mentoring him, he had said he would like to be a doctor. He recently called Milt to say that he had just been accepted into the UW Medical School in Seattle!

Rebecca found the "traveling yellow/green unicorn wig" on her door knob. Doesn't that look like fun to wear that??? Who's next!

Kevin had another birthday thus celebrating his most recent trip around the sun. His age is '6 bricks and 8 stones', he says! Happy Birthday, Kevin.

Jim Huffman offered a $5 prize for the correct answer to the question: The Mars rover is equipped with a microphone to record sounds on Mars. Given the less dense atmosphere, will the sounds it records be higher or lower in frequency than those heard on Earth? Someone said it would sound like Chuck Norris, which totally threw Jim for a loop! Joel Banken said "lower pitch". Guest Karen Gallie looked it up on the internet and found they would be higher frequency. Jim will contribute to the Learning Well!

Earl and family celebrated his daughter Lucy's 13th birthday. Now, everyone in the household is officially a teenager or older!

Program

Kathleen introduced our speaker, JC Baldwin, from the Cashmere Rotary Club. JC and husband Randy

have owned GTC Technical Support in Wenatchee for 22 years. JC has a vast work history in the communication and computer worlds, having worked for both Motorola and Microsoft.

GTC Technical Support provides worldwide customer and technical support and employs 40 people, half of which are women.

JC is also on many board of directors in the area: Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority commissioner, Washington State Public Works Board, Commercial Revenue Aviation Board (appointed by Governor Jay Inslee), and Greater Wenatchee Area Technical Alliance (GWATA) to name a few. 

She has always based her decisions in life around the Rotary Four Way Test. It is still her "cornerstone".

Past President of Cashmere Rotary Club and Past Assistant Governor for Rotary District 5060 are two of her recent titles. She has been a Rotarian for about 17 years!

President Earl thanked JC for her Rotary and civic contributions to the communities in the Valley. The club will donate a children's book in her name to the local library.

Rotary Corner (A NEW entry into our BLOG)

Rotary’s Pledge: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

As a global network that strives to build a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change, Rotary values diversity and celebrates the contributions of people of all backgrounds, regardless of their age, ethnicity, race, color, abilities, religion, socioeconomic status, culture, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

A top priority for Rotary is growing and diversifying our membership to make sure we reflect the communities we serve.

As Wenatchee Sunrise Rotary Club President Earl summed up in a meeting recently, 30% of WSR members are women, and women hold several leadership roles.  But where can we strengthen our outreach to others in the community so that we can reap additional benefits of diversity? 

Earl adjourned the meeting at 8 am.

February 16, 2021 Meeting Notes

President Earl Crowe started the meeting at 8:00 am by having Ruth Dagg lead the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Milt Herman lead the club with the Invocation.

Rotary Moment

Earl continued the Rotary Moment theme of "Women in Rotary".

Earl spoke to another part of the Rotary story regarding women joining Rotary clubs as members. The first attempt to allow women in a club was in an Indian club in 1950! Further attempts resulted in several Rotary Clubs having their charters cancelled by Rotary International. Rotarians tried several methods to skirt around or change the rules, including removing references to gender in the Rotary constitution and bylaws. A California club even took Rotary to court in 1983, lost, but didn't give up. They appealed and eventually won the case in the U.S. Supreme Court in May, 1987. Rotary admitted its first woman in the U.S. later that month. In 1989, at its first meeting after the U.S. Supreme Court decision, the Council on Legislation voted to eliminate the requirement in the RI Constitution that membership be limited to men.

Within our Wenatchee Sunrise Rotary Club, 30% of our members are women.

Announcements

Kathleen McNalty thanked everyone's contributions for Valentine gift bags for the 16 women and 6 children at the Grace House. Personal care items, Valentine's candies/cards, gloves and socks were some of the items needed. Club members volunteered to fill ALL the bags for the women and their children. Thank you to Jackie Rector and Kathleen for organizing this!

Kathleen also mentioned Learning Well would like to come next week to share some ideas regarding a conservation project. Learning Well is a Christian school based in the Wenatchee Saddlerock Presbyterian church.

Robin DeRock announced (with a flourish) that there would be a Spring Foundation event on May 12, 2021, instead of the annual District Conference. This Zone-wide fundraiser covers 43 Districts in four countries. The cost is $110, but $100 is a donation toward your Paul Harris award. Robin is looking for a few local volunteers/champions.

Wayne Massing followed up on last week's public image meeting where club members met to discuss the club's future website. It was proposed to move to Club Runner so that two sites would not need to be maintained as well as reap an annual cost savings. This will be an 18-month transition project.

Next Monday, there will be a test hybrid meeting at 1pm. Some will be in person and some on Zoom. Tune in next Tuesday to see how it turned out! If you can't wait (my, aren't you impatient), contact Kathleen to find out how you can help make it a success.

Brags and Confessions

Jill bragged that her laparoscopic surgery resulted in no sign of cancer; hooray! She feels great! Milt matched her $5 donation for the good news.

Robin gave $10 to brag that her mentee Chloe helped her with shopping for her Grace House Valentine bag and that Chloe picked everything, so the bag turned out great! Also, the Blackhawks are in 9th place for now. She also confessed that her handrail painting project has become a handrail/molding/doors project.

Ruth donated $2 for picking her son up from Central Washington University on Friday, who then had sawdust in his eye and had to go to the emergency room, but he's ok now. Whew!

Kathleen bragged that she took her purple people eating two-door tutor car to Pybus Friday, but confessed that it should not be taken out in the snow. She was unable to make it home and had to abandon the car on the side of the road. She's hoping to get it up the hill once the snow thaws this spring, or today if they finally plow her road, whichever comes first.

PJ offered up $5 for a new snow blower attachment for his tractor. The one foot of snow that fell at his place made it the perfect gift for himself at the perfect time.

Bill found $5 to brag that he spent last week in Sun Valley. It took him 9 hours to get there...13 hours to get back. It was such great skiing, he brought back a lot of the snow on his car. He had a wonderful time.

John McD bragged that his eldest son has been happily bragging about 70 degree weather all winter at his home in San Antonio. When he called his son over the weekend, he found out he has been out of power for 2-3 days and his pool has frozen. He will need to replace a lot of equipment in the pool and landscaping. He's a good Boy Scout though and has been cooking his meals on a camp stove.

Program

Jack DeGruchy and Lockie Bracken, Rotarians of the North and Mediators Beyond Borders International members spoke about Peace. Both are Kelowna, BC Rotarians and have been working for the past year with the City of Kelowna and a coalition of public and private groups and people to build a Peace building project.

They have also become active with Mediators Beyond Borders International (MBBI). MBBI's vision is to "Build a more Peace "able" World". Their mission is to "Build local skills for peace and promote mediation worldwide. They particularly wanted to highlight some consulting initiatives and conflict assistance that MBBI has been involved with.

MBBI has a number of consulting initiatives:

• Trauma-informed Peacebuilding and Development Assistance (TIPDA)
• Environmental Conflict Management and Stakeholder Engagement
• Organizational Conflict Management
• Police-Community Crisis Rapid Response
• Workplace Conflict and Communications Problems

TIPDA Assisting with conflict includes:

• Cattle raiding among farmers and pastoralists in Kenya
• The Ebola crisis in Sierra Leone
• Peace force staff in South Sudan
• USAID in South Sudan

MBBI is a Rotary Work Group and is active all over the World. Since 2009, MBBI has been an Official Observer Organization of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change talks and the Conference of the Parties. MBBI's Climate Change team advocates for the inclusion of mediation processes as part of the climate change policy.

The two said they have learned things from their involvement with MBBI that they use in their personal and professional lives such as "loving one another even when people sometimes say or do things we don't like."

They say that Rotary needs to build alliances with all like-minded groups to focus on hotspots in the World. No one organized group has the strength and financial capacity to solve the BIG issues alone.

They started with the idea of a Peace Pole in an area park and have been encouraged to think bigger. This led them to the Peace Tower Beacon of Light. It is like a totem pole, reaching to the future. The designer is Jose Hernandez, one of the featured stories in the Netflix docuseries "Surviving Death". Look for ways to collaborate; it calls us to Peace when lit up. They believe this will be a beautiful addition in Kelowna and more may be done in the future.

They hope it will create a discussion point for others to stop and contemplate during a time where many streets, schools, and work places lack peace, they hope for this to promote positive peace. They would like people to come and sit while they contemplate Peace in their life.

It will also give people who stop to enjoy it a chance to learn more about Rotary. Their goal is to complete the Peace Tower by World Peace Day, September 21, 2021.

One of the ways they are fundraising is through their hour4our website. Where people are asked to "Honor the past, Do good today for the future of our children". There they ask for a donation of one hour of your income.

Earl thanked Jack and Lockie for their presentation, and said the club would donate a children's library book in their name to the local library.

Next week, JC Baldwin, Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority commissioner will be our keynote speaker.

President Earl closed the meeting with a mention to keep Jim Huffman in your thoughts and encouraged members to make time to reach out to Jim.

Finally, an inspirational quote from Robert Collier, 'Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day-in and day-out.' Meeting adjourned at 8 am.

ROTARY POST NOTE:
Did you know that The Rotary Foundation has spent over $3 billion on programs and projects to support humanitarian efforts and scholarships through its 100+ year history?

Due to Jordana LaPorte's delay in becoming the next DG, the District is proposing that Richard spend another year in the position. He has agreed, but wanted to make sure no one was excluded from the District Governor progression. Earl asked if anyone had objections to their signing the resolution. None noted. 

Earl also shared with the club that our Treasurer Craig Reese's father has been ill, and has been admitted to a Seattle area hospital. Please keep Craig's family in your thoughts and prayers.

Brags and Confessions

Jim Huffman has already gotten the shot and was kidding about get "the chip" in the neck.

Rebecca missed a board meeting and paid a fine of $5!

Program

Shanley Crane, Assistant Governor (AG) for Area 8 was the speaker today.

Shanley is a member of the East Wenatchee Rotary Club. She has been enjoying the position as Assistant Governor, and thanked Carol Adamson for being a great mentor! She complemented Past District Governor Sherry Chamberlain for her mentorship also.

Shanley thanked Robin DeRock for her years and years of being a Youth Exchange host "mother" and coordinator. She also thanked Kathleen McNalty for her various roles within the Wenatchee Sunrise Rotary Club, such as Treasurer and now President Elect.

Strength in Rotary is not a "gender-thing"! When she first heard of Rotary Clubs, they were thought of as "old men's clubs", since it was before women were allowed to join. Her brother was first in Rotary, and he presented her with a certificate for donating funds for a wheelchair. She later joined the Puyallup Rotary Club in Puyallup, Washington. Their club's ingenuity in providing parking for the huge Puyallup Fair allowed that club to buy 2 duplexes.

Earl thanked Shanley her presentation, and said the club would donate a children's library book in Shanley's name to the local library.

President Earl closed the meeting with a quote from Pablo Picasso: 'Action is the fundamental key to success!' Meeting ended at 8 am.

Feb. 2, 2021 Meeting Notes

President Earl Crowe started the meeting at 8:00 am with the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. Chris McDarment lead the club with the Invocation.

Rotary Moment

Earl will be doing the Rotary Moment all this month, with the Sargent at Arms' permission.

This Rotary Moment was about "Women in Rotary", Rotary's monthly theme. Earl gave the Rotary history of trying to allow women to join clubs. One of the first clubs to try getting women into Rotary was the Duarte Rotary Club of Calif. Initially, Rotary International rejected Dr. Sylvia Whitlock's membership into that club because she was a woman. It was brought before the California Supreme Court, who refused to hear the case. Ultimately, Rotary International took the case to the U.S. Supreme Court who, on May 4, 1987, ruled there could be no violation of the prohibition against discrimination. Women were in!

Within our Wenatchee Sunrise Rotary Club, 30% of our members are women in these roles:

• President Elect - Kathleen McNalty
• Co-Vice President - Carol Adamson
• Board of Directors - Rebecca Lyons, Robin DeRock, Kaity VanWeerdhuizen
• Past President - Erin McCool
• Committee members - Ruth Dagg (Social Committee), Jill Courtney (Senior Dinner Committee), Bertha Goehner, Kathy Hamilton, Kelly Walker, and Rani Sampson (Bike Ride Committee), Jackie Rector (Fund Raiser Committee).

Earl presented each female club member with a "Women in Rotary" pin honoring them within the club!

President Earl also presented Wayne Massing with Rotarian of the Month (January). Wayne has been very active in the club as the Co-Chair of the Public Image Committee, Sargent at Arms Committee, Bike Ride Committee, and club coordinator for the Life Flight Network memberships. He also posts the Wenatchee Sunrise Rotary Club blog twice a month. Wayne is also a mentor in the club's Challenge Scholarship Program. Congratulations, Wayne!!!!

Announcements

Kathleen McNalty noted a Fund Raising Committee meeting on Thursday, Jan. 11 at 6 pm. Earl has some ideas for a surprise fund raiser. If you would like to attend, send Kathleen an email requesting an invitation to the Zoom meeting. (kmcnalty1@outlook.com)

Kathleen also met with new member Jackie Rector, and they discussed club/community events surrounding Valentine's Day. They thought the club might possibly distribute Valentine gift bags for the women at the Women's Resource Center or the Grace House. More to come on that....

Robin received a gift from our past Youth Exchange Student Adele from Switzerland. Hundreds of chocolates! She will try to freeze them to give to the club when we are able to meet in person again. Periodic sampling may occur!

Wayne said he received the new club canopy. A District Grant for Public Image will pay a portion of the costs. The balance will be from the Public Image Committee budget. The side banner says "Rotary Clubs of the Wenatchee Valley".

Alan Walker said the Wenatchee Downtown Association is having a Sweetheart Date Night on Sat. Feb. 13th. Online ticket purchase and food/wine selection. Pickup dining only. (Sweetheart Date Night — Wenatchee Downtown Association | Historic Main Street (wendowntown.org)). Must be 21 years old!

Brags and Confessions

Craig Reese did double duty with the club's traveling yellow-green unicorn wig, sporting it last week and again this week! Who gets it next?!?!

Carol got her CoVid-19 vaccine shot and didn't cry.

Chris and wife Holly visited their son at CWU in Ellensburg. They tried to take him out to lunch without success. Their son is starting water polo soon. While in Ellensburg, they saw Alan and Kelly Walker making a left hand turn in front of them!

PJ and wife Cookie were the only ones who showed up at the "Wednesday, 1 pm at chair #1 club get-together" on Mission Ridge. If you can be there, be there! Earl will put the word out to other clubs to see if they want to join us!

Wayne thanked Taro for assisting with the pacemaker surgery on his Mother-In-Law on Friday. She's doing fine except for a short visit to the ER on Monday night due to high blood pressure! She's fine now! Thanks, Taro!

Kathleen's daughter was able to visit home after getting her CoVid-19 vaccine. She lives in a group home in Wenatchee and had not been home in 9 months.

Rebecca said that her daughter Mari, a Wenatchee High School Freshman, was having some difficulty with her grades. Both Mother and Daughter agreed that if Mari could raise her grades above B+, she could have a kitten. Her grades shot up to A- and she's getting a kitten!

Alan and Kelly did a tour of the state, visiting family and friends in Rochester, Olympia and Ellensburg. Kelly said her mother, who had smoke her entire life, had recently been able to be smoke-free!

John Schapman offered to upgrade Rebecca's kitten to a German Shepard dog is she bid for it at the St. Joseph's Catholic School Auction. (stjoesauction.com)

Rani received her Paul Harris award last month, but felt she didn't deserve it. She thanked the club for their donation matching over the years!

Program

Robin DeRock introduced our club's speaker, our District Governor and her husband, Richard DeRock.

Richard is the General Manager of the Link Transit. He is also the past President of the Wenatchee Valley Chamber of Commerce and member of the Wenatchee Confluence Rotary Club.

Richard tailored his presentation to the battery aspect of bus transportation.

Washington state has mandated that public transportation use these types of fuels:

• Bio-Fuels
• Bio-Gas
• Propane
• Natural Gas
• Electric.

Some are not suited for use in our valley because of temperature issues. Bio-gas turns to a gel when the temperature is below 32 degrees. Bio-fuels have less of a carbon footprint, but emit smaller particulate matter than is harmful. Natural gas is not common in the Wenatchee Valley due to the small gas line from Ellensburg. Propane would not work well. Our best bet is electric buses because of the reduced price of hydro-electric power in our area. 

Lithium-ion batteries have evolved over the last 10-12 years, providing ranges of 18 miles on a charge (2010) to now providing 196 miles on a charge (2020). Wireless changing stations are 100% reliable and will provide a 350kwh charge in less than 8 minutes (March, 2021). 

Many unanticipated factors have contributed to transportation issues recently:

• CoVid-19 - Many bus parts came from Italy, one of the first/worst CoVid countries in this present pandemic.
• Permits - Changes in the permitting process provided hurdles to jump.
• Trade Wars - Recent trade wars with China changed tariff structures.
• Parts - World-wide parts became difficult or impossible to obtain because of Co-Vid-19 restrictions on shipping.

Richard took questions:

Q: Was retraining of mechanics required when going to the all-electric buses?

A: With 32 computers on every bus, the mechanics merged with the electronic technicians to maintain these complex systems. Wenatchee Valley College modified their programs to train mechanics with more electrical backgrounds.

Earl thanked Richard the his presentation, and Robin for "the best introduction of a speaker he has ever heard". A children's library book will be donated in Richard name to the local library. (A suggestion on book selection was "The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round"!)
