Welcome Members & Guests to a New Rotary Year!

Message from President Mitty

Welcome to the new Rotary Year! My name is Mitty Chang, and I am the president of this Rotary Club!Members, it is wonderful to hear from you each every week! Welcome back!Guests, we're excited that you have each come to visit our online meeting. Our programs team works hard to make sure that all of our weekly meetings are interesting, inspiring, and leave you more full (spiritually, mentally, intellectually, emotionally) than when you began the meeting.As we begin this Rotary year, I think of Rotary International President John Germ's theme for this year for all 1.2 million Rotarians worldwide: Rotary Serving Humanity. This theme is echoed in the thoughts and the strategies of Rotary leadership throughout the world for this July 1 to June 30 Rotary Year. When you think about the theme, it's straightforward and one that I think we can appreciate. To me, the theme represents a return to the roots of service and helping our local communities.This year, one of my goals as president is to grow our new club (we're still less than two years old!) from 34 members to over 50 members. At the same time, I want to make sure we focus on providing more value to our club members through new grant opportunities for members and by building a stronger community. To me, Rotary is my extended family, and every one of my club members are part of that family. I want us all to thrive and to be happy.There are a few different new initiatives coming out soon. One of the new initiatives is a member spotlight in our meetings. Every week we will be featuring a story from one of our members about their life. We are also now actively looking for more members to step up and get involved with leadership opportunities. As our club leadership continues to meet every month to work on improving this club, we are also working hard to create more value in your membership. From grants to benefits to more web services -- we want to make sure each of our members feel that our club is improving your life.Finally, I want to talk about live online meetings. We are making a stronger effort to provide more live online sessions for our members to interact with each other, and to speak to our program guests. We believe that we have incredible speakers who present, and we want our members to have access to those speakers. Members and frequent visitors will note that our program this week uses a new video conferencing platform called Zoom. We are testing this over Google Hangouts because unlike Google Hangouts (which has a max limit of 12 people on at the same time), Zoom has a capacity of 50 people on at the same time. As we continue evaluating Zoom over the next few weeks, we hope this will help make live recordings more open to members and guests, and make sure we're never excluding anyone who wants to participate.As a new club, we are still pioneering our path and there are sometimes hiccups where we could have or could still improve on. That's where I need you to speak up. Your opinions and your happiness is important to me, and I encourage each of you to reach out to me. I'm on Facebook, I'm on Twitter, I'm on Instagram, I'm on Snapchat (@mittychang), I'm online, and I'm offline. Connect with me and message me. (If you're a guest, be sure to send me a message on how you found me if you're sending me a friend or connection request!)

Members, I know this year our club is going to excel and grow like it never has before. We are going to thrive together, and we are going to have fun together!

And Rotarian guests visiting from other clubs: thank you for being here! Every eClub is different from the next one, just like every brick & mortar Rotary club is different from other clubs. Our club is proud of its weekly programs, but we are also constantly working on improving the user experience here and the way we run our club. Our Rotary club has only been around since January 2015, so we recognize we are a young club. All of our services and charitable giving is funded through the love and passion of our members and our guests. We ask that you, as a visiting Rotarian, consider contributing something – whatever for you is the regular cost of a Rotary meal, perhaps – to the efforts of our club. This is optional. If you are not comfortable donating for any reason, please do not feel like you need to. Donations are gladly accepted and help power the good work we do, but they are not a requirement of attending. If you are interested in donating, there are so many different options!

• You can make a donation via our secure Happy Dollars form.

• Or send via PayPal.

• Or send via Google Wallet* to: ecsv.rotary@gmail.com

• Or send via check to our physical mailing address! Those of you who prefer a more traditional approach can mail a check made out to the Rotary eClub of Silicon Valley to our treasurer: ℅ Allen Thompson, 13500 Cascade Ct., Bakersfield CA 93314.

Non-Rotarian guests, there is no need for a donation from you. As we see it, your job is to simply enjoy what you read and watch, though at the end we do ask that you let us know you were here and also leave a comment letting us know what you think. This club is loaded with folks who love sharing ideas, and we look forward to your sharing yours!

For our members and guests who live in the San Francisco bay area, I strongly encourage you to come out to one of our upcoming events. We would love to see you in person! For our members and guests who live further away and can't make it to one of our in-person events, look out for one of our online hangout sessions!

Thank you for being here, enjoy our meeting, and Happy Fourth of July week!

Yours in service,

Mitty Chang,

President

Rotary eClub of Silicon Valley

Power of Images

We believe in that saying a photo is worth a thousand words. Great images can inspire people and can conjure a wide range of emotions. This week we celebrate the Fourth of July, America's Independence Day.

This photo from 1980 is of the Fourth of July fireworks display in Washington, DC on July 4, 1980. The iconic Iwo Jima Memorial statue seen in the front of the photo is located in Arlington, Virginia.This week the United States of America celebrates its 240th birthday. Since its inception, America has fought for its independence and the freedoms we often take for granted today. This week we pay tribute and thanks to those freedoms.And to our members and guests who reside outside of the USA, we thank you immensely for your friendship.

Meet the "You've Got Mail" Voice

Every week we bring you videos of innovation, inspiration, and entrepreneurship. This week we are taking a trip down memory lane to the voice of the early Internet: Meet Elwood Edwards, the voice actor behind America Online's "You've Got Mail" voice.

Member Spotlight: Meet the 47 Ronin at Sengaku-ji Temple

Every week we share with you a small piece of the life of one of our club members. This week's spotlight segment comes from club member Nathan "Nate" Gildart, an educator who lives in Tokyo, Japan! Nate takes us on a 360 degree video tour (trying panning on the video!) of the famous 47 Ronin at Sengaku-ji Temple!

That was a 360 video! Did you remember to try panning up, down, right, and left in the video?

Here's what Nate has to say about the video:

"The tale of the 47 Ronin is perhaps one of Japan's most well-know in and outside of Japan. It's a true story, though as with anything in historical study there are things unknown, changes that have been made to the story, and an inevitable debate. The 47 Ronin are interred at Sengaku-ji Temple in Tokyo. It's a Soto Zen Buddhist temple that has trained monks since 1612, when Tokyogawa Ieyasu first commissioned it. Simply put, after drawing his sword in Edo Castle on a despised court official named Kira Yoshinaka, the feudal lord from Ako (in Hyogo Prefecture) Asano Naganori was sentenced to commit seppuku (ritual suicide through self-disembowelment). His lands were confiscated and his samurai warriors deemed "ronin" - masterless samurai. Some went about a dishonoured life, but 47 of them plotted revenge in secret. This began in 1701. They traveled incognito to Edo (Tokyo) stormed Kira's mansion on December 14, 1702. They killed many of his guards and eventually found him and cut his head off. They presented the head to Asano's grave at Sengaku-ji, admitted to their crime and were sentenced to the same fate as their master, Lord Asano. This led them to be immortalized in and outside of Japan. To what extent the act really was a demonstration of "bushido" (the warrior's code of conduct) is up for debate."

Thanks for sharing Nate! 

Members, we're looking for more stories to share so think about what part of your life you want to share with the rest of our club!

World of Rotary

The world of Rotary is vast -- spanning over 180 countries in the world with over 1.2 million members. Our club is only one of thousands of Rotary clubs, each one that meets in a different place and at a different time. This segment of our meeting brings to you a little bit about what is going on in the world of Rotary this week.

A New Rotary Year!

This week we ring in a new Rotary Year! Our Rotary Year starts on July 1 and ends on June 30. Not only do our club presidents change every new Rotary Year, but so does the President of Rotary International worldwide.

Here's a message from our now Immediate Past Rotary International President K.R. Ravindran President:

30 June 2016

My Dear Friends,

As I think back on these last 12 months, the words of British writer and Royal Air Force pilot Roald Dahl come to mind. An avid photographer who amassed a collection of over hundreds of images, Dahl spoke of his memories as being far more vivid than his photographs could ever reflect. So many events and experiences, he said, were simply impossible to capture; they could not be adequately conveyed in images or words.

Language may fail, and photographs fade, minds are fallible, and details are lost. But some experiences, as Dahl said, never dim; they stand out in our memories, even after decades, as a wall of flame. They rear up forever over the landscape of our past, dividing our lives into what came before and what came after.

When I look back on my travels and experiences from this past year, I see a bright kaleidoscope of images cascading before my eyes, day after day, week after week. The meeting at the UN when we celebrated Rotary’s women of worth. The bright flags of Nepal fluttering over an entire village that had been rebuilt after the devastating earthquake. The feeling of awe in St. Peter’s Square at the Jubilee of Rotarians celebrated by Pope Francis. Joyful gatherings around the world, in so many countries, in so many languages- with friends I had never before met, my brothers and sisters in Rotary.

To serve as president of Rotary International is a colossal undertaking, one that cannot be truly conveyed in images or words. A thousand images jostle together in my mind, a thousand recollections, a thousand emotions. Together, they form a great mosaic; together, they show the bright and glorious work done by the hands of all Rotary club members.

As this Rotary year draws to a close, I want to take the time to thank you, my friends around the world. The personal commitment of so many of you in so many countries has made all the difference. Together, we have made great strides and helped move this great organization of ours towards a bright, progressive future.

I am prouder than ever to be part of this great organization: one that makes the world not poorer, but richer; replaces despair with hope; raises up those whom fate has brought low; and is a gift to so many, while allowing each of us to

Be a Gift to the World

.

K.R. Ravindran

President, Rotary International 2015-16

Thank you President Ravindran for your service to Rotary! And together, as we thank you for your service, we also welcome your successor, President John Germ.

Welcome Rotary International President John Germ!

Next week's World of Rotary meeting segment will feature information about John Germ, our 2016-2017 Rotary International President!

Happy Dollars

Each week we ask our members to share news with the club and toss in a few dollars to support our efforts. The primary goal for this section is to provide a fun way of getting to know each other, while giving back to a good cause.

Here are some happy dollar messages from last week's last Rotary Club meeting of the year with Immediate Past President Rushton:

From member Brian Liddicoat ($15):

"A sparrow built a nest inside the decorative wreath on our front door. Now we have two little baby sparrows growing up there. It's a small burden to use the back door all the time as they grow up and leave the nest in just 10-14 days but the kids are having a great time watching life in action..."

From member Linda Tangren ($25):

"A great big THANK YOU to our fearless leader, Rushton, who gives meaning to "Service above Self. Well Done!"

From member and club officer Tzviatko Chiderov ($10):

"Thank you President Rushton for your amazing leadership! Mitty, I look forward to your year as our club's President."

From Past President Rushton Hurley ($20):

"Jazzed to put the club in the good hands of President-elect Mitty!"

Happy Fourth of July and Happy New Rotary Year!

As we ring in this new Rotary year with our happy dollars, we encourage you to submit a couple of bucks, and tell us something you're happy about this week!

Share with us something below!

Selected Six

Every week at the bottom of our meetings, there is a comments section for members and guests to tell us what they enjoyed about the meeting or to ask questions to the speaker. We select six comments every week from last week's meeting to be featured during this week's meeting.

Here are six comments selected from last week's meeting:

From guest Kenneth Oku (Fremont, California):

"Another well done meeting Rushton, it was great to learn more about you and the club. July is always a special time of the rotary year and this meeting was extra special, I wish the best with your writing this summer and look forward to discussing some of your knowledge on the field of history/religion you mentioned."

From guest Kristi Govertson (Missoula, Montana):

"Rushton, it was fun to learn more about you, and I really enjoyed learning more about the Rotary eClub of Silicon Valley. It was the perfect program at the perfect time. Makeup #4!"

From member Richard Knaggs (Cape Town, South Africa):

"Welcome President Mitty. Rushton, thank you for your leadership and for the plethora of inspirational messages and stories that you have shared with us all. You have made a positive difference both directly and indirectly to the lives of many students and teachers at our school."

From guest Nicole Pham (Livermore, California):

"Rushton! It was a pleasure meeting you at the Academy of Science and I applaud you for finishing your year strong. I've heard great things about your term and I can't wait to join the eclub of Silicon Valley! I loved your beginning post about the image of the couple helping the man. It really brings me back to why I love service whether it be big or small because each gesture counts."

From guest Brett Sham (Sydney, Australia):

"I've been to many Rotary club meetings, but this was my first eClub meeting and it was awesome! So great to attend and learn more about your club, I hope to be back again soon!"

From member and club officer Chris Cochrane (Ontario, Canada):

"Rushton, thank you for all you've done. You've earned your right to take '2 months off '... but only two! Perhaps you'll do a program on your book? I'm certain your lessons will have relevance to all. Being a '2x Past President' of eClubs. must be some sort of record or at least a first. You have my have full support in anything you do, help in any situation. It's an honour to be your friend.."

Thank you everyone for attending last week's meeting!

Be sure to leave a comment at the end of this week's meeting after you watch the program below, and perhaps you'll see your comment featured next week!

The Program

Every week we bring to you a program on innovation, education, and entrepreneurship. This week we welcome Kitty Hu of Interact District 5170, who is presenting to us on the topic of human trafficking and how the over 8,000 high school Interact club members in her district have raised over $100,000 to fight human trafficking.

Human trafficking, one of the worst crimes in today’s society, is only growing faster and larger, affecting millions world-wide. However, this year, Interact has decided to take a stand against trafficking. We not only stand for the victims themselves, but for all who are impacted and may be impacted by this issue. We stand for youth empowerment, and for freedom.Kitty Hu serves as the International Coordinator for Interact District 5170, working passionately to lead the district in raising both awareness for human trafficking and funds for non-profits. A travel fanatic, Kitty has already explored multiple continents in her pursuit to serve others and will soon be embarking on a trip to Haiti to learn even more. Besides travel and service, Kitty hopes to continue growing in the photography community and to eventually become a narrative film director. Kitty will be attending the University of California, Los Angeles as a film major this fall.

You’re Almost Done! One last thing: The Attendance Survey..

Thanks for reading and watching this week’s meeting. You have two last things to do before you’re done. First, we have a very short attendance survey below for you to fill out to record your attendance.

Visiting Rotarians, this is how you can get an email receipt to pass along to your club’s secretary as proof that you’ve attended our meeting if you need it for makeups.

Non-Rotarian Guests, we would love to see who is dropping by our meetings! This part is optional for you though. If you think you may want to join our eClub at some point in the future, we would strongly recommend you fill out the attendance form as it will improve your chances of success for your membership application.

More importantly, for all members and guests — we strongly recommend and ask that you leave a comment below in our comments area below. Tell us how you enjoyed the program. Ask this week’s speaker any questions you might have. Or just stop by and say hello and tell us where you’re from!
