2 Newsletter Publisher James Hicks - the Quintessential Musician and Visual Artist! They say that creative people are often talented in a number of disparate disciplines. Clearly, this is readily apparent in the case of Newsletter Publisher and Past District Assistant Governor, James Hicks. He was a musician and Master Sergeant in the U.S. Army s Fife and Drum Corps (photo to the right, refers). In fact, he completed a 33-year career as a member of the President s ceremonial escort. He played at inaugurations and entertained heads of state, from around the world. Now, however, his creative energies are focused more on the visual arts, James Hicks (although he still enjoys and plays music). He manages a family-run busi- In Motion Publisher ness, called D.E.P. Printing. And, since July, under the leadership and guidance of DRFC, PDG Juanita Cawley, James serves as the District Foundation s In Motion newsletter publisher. He works seamlessly with editor Jim Holcombe and ARRFC, PDG Chuck Davidson, (who updates several pages containing crucial data, every month). In Motion has received a plethora of praise since the two James (Jim Holcombe and James Hicks) took on responsibility for In Motion, last July. Jim Holcombe recently remarked, I can think of no better group of individuals with whom I would rather enjoy working [with], every month, than DRFC Chair Juanita Cawley, PDG Chuck Davidson, and of course James Hicks. Indeed, In Motion is extremely fortunate, to have such a unique group of individuals, whose creativity complements each other, so well! James married Lisa - his sweetheart since the 9th grade. They have three children and three grandchildren (all girls, with one set of twins). So, if you like what you read in In Motion, the credit goes to this well-oiled machine. And, that team shines brighter and sounds better with James Hicks! His visual talents seem to bring music to ones ears! District Grants Benefit Communities Throughout District 7610 and Beyond Thirty eight humanitarian and educational service projects to be undertaken by at least 50 clubs, benefitting communities in the, Bangladesh, Haiti and Europe have received funding totaling more than $127,500 from District 7610 District Grant Funds this year.

DG Ronnie Chantker On October 28, The District Foundation Committee held its second peace conference, at the University of Mary Washington, in Fredericksburg.

After welcoming remarks by Conference Chair, DRFC, PDG Juanita Cawley and DG Ronnie Chantker, PDG Peter Kyle, RI Peace and Conflict Resolution Chairman, presented a history of Rotary s longstanding connections with peacebuilding including Rotary s association with the U.N. and its related agencies (e.g., UNESCO). Rotary International has had a peace initiative from it s earliest days. As World War I was coming to an end, Paul Harris, Rotary founder, said, The road to war is well paved, the road to peace is a wilderness. Erik Haas facilitated a discussion among attending Rotarians, who have already launched peace or peace-related initiatives in D7610. The Rotarians were (lerft to right) Erica Brouillette president of the RC of Falls Church: Pat Borowski AFA and awards chair, Daniel Kasmierski president of the RC of Springfield and Bill Cawley, AG.

Ease Your Holiday Stress By Giving to The Rotary Foundation by Peter Anderson Greetings District Rotarians. I am sure that you have all been seeing the holiday displays going up and the stores starting to push all of the holiday buying. Yes, it is once again that time of the year. So, what does that have to do with The Rotary Foundation (TRF)? As Thanksgiving approaches with the joy of getting together with family and friends, I hope that you will take some time to contemplate how lucky you are as compared to millions of other people around the world and look for ways to give thanks. One way might be a donation to The Rotary Foundation. Once Thanksgiving is over, the holiday stress with gift giving will start. As always, I have a suggestion for you. My family used to have that stress. The perennial conversation went something like this: Question: "What do you want for Christmas"? Peter Anderson Annual Fund Chair Answer: "I do not need anything"? Response: "I did not ask what you needed, I asked what you wanted". Response: "I don't know". What was the result? More stress trying to figure out what to get for everyone. We finally resolved our problem by deciding that instead of gifts, we would each make a donation to a charity in the family's name. That made better use of our money by helping other people and ended the stress. So, where am I going with this as if you haven't already guessed? Did you know that The Rotary Foundation's Rotary Direct giving tool has a "Gift Option," where you can make the donation a "Tribute," and list the occasion and the honoree, with the honoree's address? TRF will then send a letter to the honoree telling them that a donation has been made in their name and the occasion you have listed. In this case, it could be your family and Christmas or Hanukah or whatever you wanted. Plus, if you make it for the Annual Fund-SHARE you will get the Paul Harris points and you have just eliminated a lot of stress. It is a win/win all around and will make you richer for helping others. Just something to consider. With that, I wish everyone a wonderful, fun and safe Thanksgiving where ever you may be!

Attended by both Rotarians and non-rotarians, the Walk again raised funds for water projects in the Copperbelt Region of Zambia. This year, we once again had the support of the Interact Club of John Champe High School, whose students helped with a range of logistical tasks. Since 2011, SWA has been sponsoring a Walk for Water, and participating in this international Rotary initiative [which] began in The Netherlands, in From Great Britain to Eastern Europe, and from the U.S. to Africa, participants support awareness and funding to help those in developing countries have access to safe drinking water, adequate sanitation, and hygiene training. SWA is continuing its ongoing work with partner Rotary Clubs in Zambia. Since 2006, SWA has written over $350,000 in Rotary Grants, first as Matching Grants ($170,950) and then as Global Grants ($87,210 in ; and $92,200 approved in 2017, with the work now underway). The team has also made six trips to the area since 2009, supporting local partners and confirming needs, project quality, and sustainability. Thanks to all who supported our Walk, and to all of the member clubs whose ongoing participation makes these projects successful. The walking trail was punctuated with signs bearing facts about water and about SWA s history. Participants were quizzed when they reached the finish line and received a prize bag of goodies related to our water and sanitation theme.

9 Rotary Believes that Good Health Care is Everyone s Right. Join Us. Make a Contribution to the Foundation! Help us combat polio and other health-related diseases by donating to the Foundation! Our health is everything. Yet, 400 million people in the world can t afford or don t have access to basic health care. We believe good health care is everyone s right. Disease results in misery, pain, and poverty for millions of people worldwide. That s why treating and preventing disease is so important to us. We lead efforts both large and small. We set up temporary clinics, blood donation centers, and training facilities in underserved communities struggling with outbreaks and health care access. We design and build infrastructure that allows doctors, patients, and governments to work together. Our members combat diseases like malaria, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer s, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, and polio. Prevention is important, which is why we also focus on health education and bringing people routine hearing, vision, and dental care. Moreover, let s not forget Rotary s clean water projects, as well! How Rotary Makes Help Happen Disease does not prevent itself. We educate and equip communities to stop the spread of lifethreatening diseases. Rotary members have hundreds of health projects underway around the world at any given time. Vaccines Malaria Polio Clean Water Pakistan s vaccination strategy is reaching children on the move. We are dedicated to a malaria-free world through treatment and prevention. We are dedicated to permanently ending polio. Rotary members have spent over 30 years fighting polio, which is now almost fully eradicated. Clean water and sanitation is a human right. When people, especially children, have access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene, they lead healthier and more successful lives. *Excerpt, photos and data from RI website In Motion: The Rotary Foundation Newsletter of District 7610 November 2017 Page 9

10 An Interview with PDG Sandy Duckworth-A Lifetime of Giving! In Motion: PDG Sandy, I understand that you joined Rotary in Hawaii, in You were on multiple boards, and obtained a Hawaii Gubernatorial appointment, there. I am sure that our readers would be interested in reading more about some of the highlights of your experiences, in Hawaii, and here in Virginia. Thanks for asking me to share a few of my experiences and memories. I was elected to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors representing the Mount Vernon District. I served on numerous boards and commissions including the WAMATA Council of Governments and was a Trustee on the Fairfax Hospital Board (currently INOVA). I served as aide to Virginia s Senior Senator Hurst as he successfully achieved passage of legislation to authorize the building of the Dulles Toll Road and the acquisition PDG Sandy & Don Duckworth of George Mason University s Law School. I was appointed by Presidentelect Carter to co-chair Virginia s Inaugural Committee, appointed by Pres. Carter to The Fourth Circuit Judicial Nominating Commission, member of the Democratic Platform Committee for the 1980 National Convention and Presidential spokesperson for one of the platform issues at the New York Convention held in a packed Madison Square Garden. In Motion: Tell us more about Hawaii. I was a friend of Governor Arioshi [of Hawaii]. I was immediately drawn into many new and exciting challenges in this uniquely diverse community. For example, I was asked to become a member and ultimately the President of the Friends of the East-West Center, an independent State Department entity established by Congress to promote better relations and understanding among the U.S., Asia, and the Pacific. I was Chair of the Hawaii State League of Women Voters. Gov. John Waihee appointed me to the Commission on Advancement of Women in the Workplace, a very important commission and one of my favorites. In Motion: As a past D7610 District Governor, In Motion is particularly interested in your connection to the Foundation, both past and present. In 2002, when I became D7610 Governor, we had an emergency campaign push to raise funds for polio eradication in a last-minute effort, that year. PDG Travis White led this effort and raised over $363,000 for a total giving, that year, of over $557,000. We, also, initiated the District 7610 Paul Harris Society and these members contributions further extended the outstanding culture of benevolent giving that was being embraced by our fabulous Rotarians. These efforts have catapulted our district into being recognized world-wide almost every year for our Foundation giving. I was honored to have been named the Rotary District Foundation Chair, in As Foundation Chair, I also initiated our District Foundation Monthly Newsletter and am very proud to see how it has grown into a vital and informative publication that has continued to advance our culture of giving because of the outstanding leadership of all of our District Foundation Chairs. I believe that these changes have also helped to enhance our culture of giving to help others less fortunate here at home and around the world with grants that can reach up to $200,000+. I am, [currently] honored to be working with Peter Anderson, our District Annual Giving Chair. I assist in checking with clubs on their contributions and work with Peter to assist in any way necessary. This position allows me to continue my participation in Foundation affairs in an efficient and flexible fashion working for something I love, our Rotary Foundation. I am frequently invited to various clubs and events recognizing and advancing Foundation goals and successes. When we make donations to The Rotary Foundation, we help make a difference in the lives of millions of people. Thanks to Rotarians, we are closer than ever to ending polio. Because of our caring and giving, families in many parts of the world, now have clean water and sanitation facilities. Remember that over 6,000 children die every year from a water related disease. We should never forget that while increasing donations is critical, the expenditures are creating a better, more hopeful and peaceful world. In Motion: PDG Sandy, Thanks for sharing your time and thoughts with our readers. PDG Sandy and husband Don live in Fredericksburg, Virginia. They have three children, and five grandchildren.
