||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Beware: Fraud alertFraud alert: There’s another Internet fraud being sent to Rotarians, a document that appears to be from RI asking for your full name, contact information, and more. Don’t respond. RI already has any information needed for you. |

DG Kashi to work with Rotary Clubs to build local economiesStarting Thursday evening, September 10, our D5010 embarks upon a major District-wide project to assist communities across Alaska in building our local economies and making our communities more resilient. A key focus of DG Joe Kashi's year will be to work with interested Rotary Clubs to help build local economies. Every Rotary Club and Rotarian can participate. There’s no cost involved with implementing this national award-winning, proven grassroots program and it’s open to every community. Our first forum features experienced State of Alaska economists Neal Fried and Karinne Wiebold examining Alaska’s current economic situation and how we got here. Join us. A reminder invitation was Emailed to club Presidents on Tuesday, September 8. |

D5010 Website and Mobile APP UpdatesIn an effort to keep D5010 information fresh and easy to find, D5010 currently is updating and modernizing the District’s web site, phone App, and other technology. Planned new content includes a list of Zoom club meetings for virtual visits and make-ups, exchanging fund-raising and club project ideas, online on-demand training for club officers, and a library of pre-recorded 20 minute programs that clubs can re-use as weekly programs. |

September 2019 DG Message to D5010 MembersDG Andre's Message - September 2019 In this month's message I share a little about the club visits I have taken thus far on my 2019-2020 DG journey. I reflect on the challenges our state faces, but the opportunities these challenges provide to our clubs for service projects. I celebrate our progress on forming a new Satellite club in D5010 and recent growth in membership since July 1st. I look forward to district efforts providing Rotary education and training for club officers. I talk about district plans for the $200/club Public Image stipend that will be provided this year. I mention the roll-out of our D5010 Mobile APP and progress by the five pilot clubs who are currently using the APP. I invite clubs to share their stories and also send their feedback. I mention plans for World Polio Day and encourage clubs to take action to celebrate eradication efforts. Finally I share that several districts have approached D5010 about opportunities for Rotarians to be a part of Rotary Friendship Exchange in 2019-2020 and 2010-2021. If you have interest in this, please contact me. |

Pictured are 2020 graduating seniors with earned sashes.  |
Each year Alaska Children’s Trust recognizes an individual that has demonstrated dedication and commitment in working toward preventing child abuse and neglect by ensuring that children are living in safe, supportive, and nurturing communities. |

Stephanie Woollard went from Down Under to the top of the world to find out if one person can make a difference. The clacking of sewing machines fills the sunlit room until word spreads that the bus has arrived. At that, a dozen women clad in pink kurtas file into the courtyard of the Seven Women Center in Kathmandu, Nepal. They smile widely as a group of Australian women led by a tall blonde enters through the iron gate. |

One lucky bidder won a Mardi Gras dinner for six at our annual "Night at the Movies" Foundation Fundraiser. These folks know how to party! Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday. It's also called Shrove Tuesday, Carnival Tuesday or Pancake Tuesday, depending on where the celebration is taking place. No matter the name, it's a day of revelry that includes parades, parties and gastronomic indulgence before the Christian fasting season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. It marks the last day of the Carnival season, basically a six-week period of partying around the globe.  |
Open World is a program funded by the Library of Congress and facilitated by RI. Eight individuals including a translator, and a facilitator will be arriving in Anchorage on the evening of May 21st and departing May 25th. It is hoped to have them as the programs or clubs on Wed, Thursday and Friday. We are seeking volunteers for lodging and transportation during this time. The program operates on a reimbursement basis reimbursing the host Rotary club(s) or district for hosting expenses following RI Open World grant guidelines. The expectation is that lodging will be in homes. Karl Schroeder 907-388-1474 or Ted Trueblood 907-339-4872. |

District 5010 would like to sincerely say thank you to our sponsors for having such a caring and giving heart because without their support for our 2019 District Conference, it would not be possible. With your donations, we are able to provide not only a full weekend of exciting events for members and their families, but it will also provide inspiration through our speakers, educational growth and training for dedicated Rotarians, the sharing of local club and international projects, fellowships with new and old friends. We will hear inspiring stories from Rotary Youth Exchange students. We will share ideas, celebrate our accomplishments, and find out what has been happening in the district and the world. “Together, we are the inspiration!”  |
Hi Everyone, And…. November went out with a jump and a jolt which got all of our attention. But our members are safe. Bob and I were in Seward helping the Club give Superintendent Lapinskas a Paul Harris for his work with the prisoners within the Springcreek Correctional Center. As we waited to get in, the prison went on lock down but they allowed us to come in to present the award, and more importantly let us back out! I’ve always said orange is NOT my color but according to some Facebooks posts – a few of you thought perhaps it WOULD look good on me – hah – nice try! I have contacted all Rotary Presidents in our immediate affected areas and have heard from others all over the District. Most damage seems to be personal items inside houses and minor cracks in structures. It is sad to lose treasured objects, but they are objects, not our loved ones. No injuries reported as of yet. As always, our Rotarian friends are helping those in their immediate areas and we have offered more help if needed. The In-Bound Youth exchange students are all safe and accounted for. Their parents have been contacted and reassured of their safety. All of us are thankful to have survived ANOTHER earthquake and will plan for the next as well since it is “When not If” in our area. Our Crises Plan is being formalized and updated as we speak and seems to be working well so far. If you have any suggestions please send them to Joe Kashi as he is the point person to gather issues for the Crises Planning. It has been heartening to hear the voices of those we care about. So I’m very happy to report that all is well so far. If anything changes, I’ll keep you posted. Yours in Rotary, DG Diane |
