Rotaract Club forming as a student organization serving the three campuses of Montgomery CollegeRotary, Rotaract and Interact (from the Gaithersburg Rotary Club Newsletter)![]() But, that is about to change. Our district's Rotaract Advisor, Monique Toussant, is helping the Gaithersburg, Rockville and Silver Spring clubs work together to form a Rotaract. The idea is to establish it as a student organization serving the three campuses of Montgomery College. A faculty advisor is in place, and each of the three Rotary clubs will name a liaison Silver Spring and Rockville have named theirs). A virtual recruitment open house will take place on February 22nd. Rotaract clubs bring young people together to exchange ideas with leaders in the community, develop leadership and professional skills, and have fun through service. In communities worldwide, Rotary and Rotaract members work side by side to take action. The Rotary Club of Gaithersburg looks forward to working with the soon-to-be-established Rotaract club. |

This is the link to the first project I did a couple of years ago https://believeinbelize.org/stories/project-205-computers-for-schools-in-belize. For this new project if you have any computers (monitors, printers, etc. are OK too) you would like to donate please email me to work out the logistics. Also, I have an opportunity to purchase 65 used computers for $20 each at a total cost of $1300. If anyone is interested in helping fund this purchase you may do so through the PayPal link or by sending a check to Believe in Belize, 9402 Bentridge Ave., Potomac MD 20854. Donations are deductible per US code. Anyone not planning to itemize when filing their 2020 tax return should find this link to be of interest https://finance.yahoo.com/news/cares-act-expands-tax-deductions-220753231.html.

Koo Yuen will share his life story at the Rotary Club Meeting on February 6, 2020, at the Normandie Farm Restaurant.![]() Koo is a businessman, who has owned and operated gas stations since 1973. This business has provided the funding for his philanthropic passions, such as his financial support for the Public Broadcast System (PBS), his involvement with the Church, and in giving to worthy causes to improve society. Koo has lived in the Washington, D.C. area since 1964, when he and his family emigrated from Hong Kong. His junior and high school years were greatly impacted by his music teacher, the famous Roberta Flack, and his tennis coach, Robert Johnson, Jr., whose father was Arthur Ashe’s coach. Koo was converted to the Church in 1998, when he was living in the Bethesda Ward in Maryland. He was born in Hong Kong, and his ancestral village is Taishan, Guangdong, China. Patricia has assisted Koo as bookkeeper since they opened their first gas station in 1973. She obtained her RN in Hong Kong, and later returned to nursing school and received her U.S. nursing certification in Maryland.

In Memoriam: Past Rotary District Governor Robert M. HansonBob Hanson 2013 Potomac Citizen of the Year At age 21, Bob Hanson was named the first national president of the Rural Youth of the United States of America, a federation of youths involving Boy and Girl Scout troops, Future Farmers of America, 4-H Clubs, “and groups instrumental in learning from others,” he said. In the mid-1950s he was chairman of the Bethesda branch of the YMCA and was instrumental in raising money for their building on Old Georgetown Road. He was equally successful in getting property donated in the 1960s for the Boy Scout headquarters on Rockville Pike. For 33 years he was an allied member of the New York Stock Exchange. Married to the late JoAnne Dinwell in 1950, the Hansons had three sons, John, Timothy and Charles. John, Tim and their families live nearby in North Potomac. A third son, Charles, (Chuck) and his family live in Colorado. For over 60 years he has been a member of the Rockville Rotary Club. In 1958, he founded the Potomac Rotary Club. He has been a board member of the American Automobile Association; Montgomery County Fair (he was an original member); 4-H Club (he was a national president); and Future Farmers of America. However, his involvement with the YMCA probably the most satisfying of his civic involvements. [Excerpted from connectionnewspapers.com.] Memories: "He lived a good life and sure lived as a true Rotarian. I loved going out to his ‘farm’ and seeing his old car." - Jason Hamel |

Posted on Feb 28, 2018
[From daretodreamfilm.com] ![]() Dare to Dream, How Rotary Became the Heart and Soul of Polio Eradication, is a high-quality, full-length documentary film that tells the story of how a small group of visionary Rotary leaders dared to set a breathtaking goal of eradicating polio for all of the children of the world. In doing so, they laid the groundwork for the single most successful public health coalition in history. This film gives Rotarians, and non-Rotarians, the back-story to the incredible decision to eradicate polio. Audiences will be astounded to learn that the Rotary Foundation was not involved in the early days of polio eradication, that the public health community was not interested in eradicating single diseases, and that several prominent Rotary leaders were vehemently opposed to Rotary getting involved with service projects on a global scale. Yet three successive RI Presidents along with a few other extraordinary Rotary leaders pursued a grand vision and eventually overcame all obstacles in setting Rotary on a course that, more than thirty years later, is set to achieve the most incredible public health victory the world has ever seen. |
