Loss of the washeteria in the Yukon-Kuskokwim village of Tuluksak on January 16, 2021, due to fire. This facility housed the water treatment and distribution pumping system. Safe water is a fundamental human need and a primary focus of Rotary projects around the world. Many Alaskan communities remain highly vulnerable to sudden loss of community-safe water supplies. Over the winter of 2020‐2021 six remote Alaska communities, mostly Alaskan Native villages, lost their only safe water sources due to fire and other sudden casualty losses.

The definition of the word Nudge is a small intervention that impacts behavior, a small subtle action to make positive choices. A few years ago, 46 to be exact, Coach Floyd gave me a nudge that impacted my life and was one of the influential people who made me who I am today. My hope is that this last year, I have shown it is possible to IMAGINE ROTARY to fit the needs of the members. To think outside the box and Enjoy your time in Rotary.

Dear Rotary family,
I’ve always been inspired by something my brother David once told me: “In order to live in the kind of society you want, you have to help build it.” As people of action, Rotary members have a long history of creating positive change within our communities and ourselves. And now, as we begin the 2022-23 Rotary year, I’m excited to continue the work of growing Rotary into the organization we want it to be and know it can be.

I had an amazing year as your District Governor! There were so many wonderful moments- but the highlight was my visit with each club. I learned what made your club special and how your projects exemplified "service above self". Whether a small or large club, members truly have the desire to change lives. Every club has a unique personality. I hope I gave as much as I received. What a joy to discover our common roots together!

The Annual Fund is the primary source of unrestricted support for the programs of The Rotary Foundation. From digging clean water wells for villages in Africa to teaching basic literacy skills to children in Latin America, during any given moment in a day, thousands of Rotarians volunteer their time and expertise to ensure that all contributions given to the Annual Fund are spent wisely on quality Rotary projects. Will you support the Annual Fund with a monthly gift this year?

Safe water is a fundamental human need and a primary focus of Rotary projects around the world. Yet, even many Alaskans do not fully appreciate the extent to which remote Alaskan communities remain highly vulnerable to sudden loss of community safe water supplies. Over the winter of 2020-2021 alone, at least six remote Alaska communities, mostly Alaska Native communities, lost their sole safe water sources due to fire and other sudden casualty losses.

We’ve all read about how the new, much more contagious and serious Covid-19 Delta variant unexpectedly caused a medical catastrophe in India that continues unabated. When the distress came directly to us from India Rotary District 3080, with whom District 5010 has a long-established special relationship, our District 5010 Rotarians raised within a few days the $13,220 dollars that District 3080 needed for as its match for an emergency Global Grant.

Rotary clubs in Alaska are stepping up to meet the challenge of food insecurity. Last fall, the Rotary Club of Kenai launched a Peanut Butter Challenge, inspiring other clubs across the state to support their local food banks. The effort spread to Washington and Oregon, and netted 6,126 pounds of peanut butter, as well as $7,548 in cash donations, for local food banks. Peanut butter is one of the most requested donation items for food banks. Greg Meyer, executive director of the Food Bank of the Kenai Peninsula, said there are several reasons for that.

In 2020, D5010 Rotary had three separate and distinct efforts to provide COVID-19 disaster relief and economic help to communities in Alaska. Rotarians and Rotary clubs were generous in their giving and support to others less fortunate during what has proven to be one of the most significant events in our lifetimes in the past 100 years. Much appreciation goes to the many individuals and organizations who made it possible for D5010 Rotary to help others.

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 is emailed to club presidents for distribution to members.

DG 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.

| | Themes for the Upcoming months June: Rotary Fellowship Month Themes for the Upcoming Months June: Rotary Fellowship Month With June being Fellowship Month, it is fitting that many of our members are in Hamburg at the Rotary International convention meeting fellow Rotarians from all over the world. This is one year I will miss as our oldest daughter, Anna, is being married soon! Fellowship covers our interactions with our family, our friends, our communities and our global neighbors around the world. With Rotary being inclusive to all, accepting of all and geared for action, fellowship is the glue that binds us together. We hatch ideas around a good meal or a community barbecue, we establish partnerships and determine how best to work together - and THEN the People of Action DO take action to accomplish the myriad of things on their list. I have many words to express being your District Governor but excited, humbled and proud of all that our 40 clubs have accomplished are just a very few. The PowerPoint presentation DGN Joe Kashi put together for the District Conference showcased the basics. The year has flown by and the ideas, global grants, and many community projects that were accomplished are the guiding light for the future. Our Rotary Cares for Kids District project is continuing and getting better all the time. As Rotary we do accept all beliefs and I invite you to walk under the Banner of Rotary International District 5010 in the Anchorage Pride Festival parade with me on June 29th or do so in the parades in your own areas. Our District website is getting a fresh new look so be sure to check it out and help to keep everything current. And as we enjoy the summer that is finally here, continue to do the good work with your fellow members, bring in more friends to help and enjoy great companionship and as always - continue to BE the INSPIRATION! There are many ways we can help in our own communities and the world. Thank you for all you do for Rotary and as always, enjoy the fellowship with your members! DG Diane N.

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. |

A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO OUR 2018-19 SPONSORS |
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 |

All are safe!

Ketchikan Kayhi Rotary Interact. They are sponsored by First City Rotary under president Helen Mickel . The kids under Interact President Emma Campbell run the club by themselves, have established their own peer mentors and are a well oiled machine. They do local and International projects. Every month they are onto something new. Rotarian Marna Cessnun stands by for encouragement and help... along with other Rotarians. |

Hi Op-Com Members and DGs, DGEs, DGNs, and DGDs, Most of you know that, for the past three years, I have been working on the establishment of an international peace park on the border of India and Pakistan. To that end we have created a Steering Committee and are working on a number of steps to further our initiative. |

Many donors in your district are planning their calendar year-end contributions. Calendar year end is a popular time for a number of giving options like: - IRA Charitable Rollovers: Enables donors over 70 ½ years old to transfer up to $100,000 annually from their IRA account directly to charity.
- Corporate Matching: Employers can match any of your donations by sponsoring a matching gift program.
- Stock Gifts: Help Rotary make an impact and receive tax benefits by making a gift of appreciated securities.
|
|
Are you planning your year-end contributions?

Hope this finds you in good health. My name is Christtel and I am supporting district team fellow rotarian Carlo Palmese in to raising awareness in the clubs of our District 4250 (Belize, Guatemala and Honduras), regarding solid waste management (plastic pollution) which is affecting not only our district but the world as a whole. Carlo and I have put together a presentation which has now been shared to all of the clubs in our district, to encourage them to work on projects towards managing this issue. To help the clubs, we are also working on the grant format to make it easier for them to work on a proposal for the Rotary Foundation, and submit a project in the Growing Local Economies area of focus.
