DISTRICT ACTIVITIES Nick Mascitelli Awarded Distinguished Service Award At the recent Foundation Dinner held in Stockton, PDG Ellen Hancock presented PDG Nick Mascitelli of Modesto Sunrise with one of the highest award in Rotary the Rotary Foundation Distinguished Service Award. This award is given to only 30-40 Rotarians each year, and in the history of our district has only been awarded five times. Those recipients have been Cliff Dochterman, Walter McCloud, Alfred Spriggs, Bob Bitter, and Joe Serra. To receive the award, an individual must have previously received the Rotary Foundation Citation for Meritorious Service and continued to provide leadership and service in Foundation activities for at least an additional four years. Individuals must be nominated by Rotarians in two different districts and approved by the District Governor. Nick s involvement in all of the ten categories listed on the application has been extensive including serving the district as Foundation Chair, Grants Chair, and Stewardship Chair; planning and conducting a number of district leadership and training events as well as Foundation and wheelchair presentations to clubs; direct involvement in planning and implementing the new grants process in the district; and working with Ambassadorial Scholars and Group Study Exchange Teams. Nick was been very involved with grants around the Rotary world. He has been the primary contact for wheelchair distributions in Honduras, Romania, Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico (multiple times), and the Dominican Republic and the development of a wheelchair assembly warehouse in Guatemala. He has participated in a 3-H Grant project in Kenya (2005), a Rotaplast Mission to Mexico (2008), and wheelchair distributions in Honduras (2007), Mexico (2009, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016), Dominican Republic (2010), Guatemala (2011, 2013, 2016), Romania (2011), Colombia (2013,2015), Nicaragua (2013, 2015), and El Salvador (2014). On almost all of these distributions, he has been responsible for coordinating with Rotary clubs and agencies to determine specific needs, working with customs and government agencies to make the shipments, and ensuring that the proper equipment is collected and shipped. He regularly works at the Hope Haven West warehouse in our district to assemble and repair wheelchairs and on the distributions, works with physical therapists to fit children and adults in the chair that best meets their needs. D5220 is incredibly proud to have one of its members receive this important Rotary honor. Congratulations to Nick for all he does for our district and for children around the world.

DISTRICT ACTIVITIES D5220 Grants Bulletin January, 2017 Upcoming Calendar check below for explanation of all items on the calendar January soon Allocations for 2017-18 will be sent to clubs January 31 2016-17 Club Grant Final Reports Due February 11 Pre-PETS for Presidents-elect March 3-5 PETS for Presidents-elect March 14 Grants Meeting at Perko s in Salida 6:45pm March 31 2017-18 Club Spending Plans Due All clubs must be qualified including President-elect By April 7 Clubs notified of their club grant and global grant allocations April 30 2017-18 Club Grant applications are due April 28-30 District Conference in South Lake Tahoe May 9 Grants Meeting at Perko s in Salida Two Important Due Dates in January Use It or Lose It Global grant allocations Clubs that have not yet designated where they want their 2016-17 global grant allocation to go have until Friday, January 20 to make that decision. Clubs that do not designate a grant will lose the opportunity to choose where their money will go. 2016-17 Club Grant Final Reports are due by January 31. The presidents and secretaries of clubs who have not yet submitted a Final Report were sent a reminder and a copy of the Final Report template. Clubs that do not complete this final step in the Club Grant process will lose their allocation and those funds will be returned to the district to be utilized by the District Grants Committee in supporting global grants initiated by district clubs. Clubs submitting Final Reports are reminded to complete all parts of the one-page report format, make sure income equals expenses, that receipts for all expenses are included, that the person completing the reports signs it, and an address is included where the check can be sent once the final report is approved. The Final Report is a requirement of the Rotary Foundation and helps guarantee that Rotarian contributions are utilized wisely and effectively. Training Opportunities for Rotarians and Presidents-elect On February 10, the Presidents-elect start their training for their year as president with DGE Ray Caparros and District Trainer Terri Amerio-Bell. Grants and what clubs can do with grant funds will be a part of that training and presidents-elect will have the opportunity to ask questions regarding the grant allocation process. At PETS in early March, the Rotary Foundation and how its funds are used with grants will be part of the overall training. All clubs must be qualified to receive Rotary Foundation funding and participate in grants during the 2017-18 year. Qualification requires that the President-elect participate in grant qualification training which consists of three online modules that the individual does on his/her own according to his/her schedule. The modules provide an overview of the grants process, specific items related to D5220, and the characteristics of a good grant. The time required is approximately two hours to complete the modules. If the president-elect has not yet done this training, he/she must complete it by March 31 or his/her club will not receive grant funding in 2017-18. The training modules are available on the District (Continued on next page) Page 6

DISTRICT ACTIVITIES Grants Newsletter - Continued from previous page website under Grants and then Grant Certification or by e-mailing Grants Committee Chair Dave Mantooth davemantooth@gmail.com. Do it now before things really start getting hectic! So far, the following clubs have met the qualification requirements: Atwater, Chowchilla, Escalon Sunrise, Galt Sunrise, Livingston, Lodi Sunrise, Manteca Morning, Modesto Metro, Newman, Oakdale, Salida, Sonora, Stockton, and Twain Harte. Club Spending Plan Starts the 2017-18 Grant Allocation Cycle The 2017-18 Grants cycle allocation is based each club s giving to the Rotary Foundation Annual fund over the last 2.5 years. The final numbers for December from the Foundation have been slow in coming and have delayed the process. PDG Don Murphy will send out a notice along with a copy of the Spending Plan to the Presidents, Presidents-elect and Secretaries from the DaC-DB data lists for those positions. Because in many clubs, it is the Board from one year that makes the decisions regarding allocations and the Board from the next year that carries out the projects, it is important that there is communication between the President, President-elect and their Boards. Once the allocation is received, the next important date for clubs is March 31st when the Club Spending Plan must be returned to Grants Committee Chair Dave Mantooth. On the Spending Plan, clubs may allocate all of their funds to a club grant or grants or to a global grant or grants or a combination of club grants and global grants. Allocations to global grants may be to a project of their own club or to another club in our district or another district. Clubs that do not return the Spending Plan will not be able to participate in club grants for 2017-18. Two important points to consider: 1) Clubs that allocate at least 50% of their funding to a global grant or grants will be guaranteed the amount they allocate to a club grant or club grants this means that clubs that do this can go ahead and complete the Club Grant application because they know exactly how much they will have to spend; and 2) Clubs that allocate 50% or more to a club grant or grants may have that amount reduced in order to meet the requirements of the Rotary Foundation that at least 50% of money received by the district each year must be used for global grants. If a club has its club grant amount reduced in early April, the amount of the reduction can then be used for global grants. Examples for a club with a $2000 allocation: 1) The club allocates $1000 to a global grant (specific or yet to be determined). The club is now guaranteed that it will have $1000 for a club grant or grants. That $1000 would have to be matched by the club. After completion of the project and submission of the Final Report, the club would receive a check for $1000 from the District Grants Committee account. 2) The club chooses to use all of its allocation for a club grant or grants. After March 31, all requests will be tabulated and a determination will be made if the requests allow the district to meet the 50% requirement of the Rotary Foundation regarding international global grants. If the district exceeds the 50% limit, then this club would be among those who have their club grant request reduced. In early April, the club will be notified of its new club grant amount. The difference between that amount and the original $2000 will still remain with the club to be used for a global grant. Questions on any of the above contact Grants Committee Chair by e-mail at davemantooth@gmail.com. Note that between January 15 and February 4, Dave will not be available by phone. Page 7

Modesto Rotary Says, Ask Me About the Four Way Test The Four-Way Test. We recite it every week. We see it in passing. But is it top of mind? Is the Four-Way Test the guiding principle it was intended to be when Herbert J Taylor set out to save his company from bankruptcy back in the early 1930 s? CLUB ACTIVITIES Starting January 3, as part of Vocational Services Month, MoRo Vocational Services Committee is doing something to make it so with colorful desktop tents highlighting the Four-Way Test and Rotary. One side has the Four-Way Test prominently displayed on your desk to keep it in mind throughout your day. The other side has Ask me about the 4-Way Test to engage guests in conversation about the 4-Way Test and Rotary. We also want to create engagement about how high ethics and morals lead to success in business. Over the next few months, the committee will be asking Rotarians to share their stories about how the 4- Way Test has guided them during their day or how the placard created a conversation about Rotary with someone. We want to hear from you about how the 4-Way Test has guided you. Please send your stories to morotary@modestorotary.org, Attention: Vocational Services Committee.

CLUB ACTIVITIES Carl s Jr. Support North/South Rotary Football Scholarship Program Carl's Jr, Tom Thompson, has been a major sponsor of the North/South Rotary Scholarship/Football Program since 2006. Carl's Jr TWM Industries have donated $4,000 each year since 2011 for the Scholarship and Football Program. For the upcoming years 2017 and 2018, Carl's Jr. has graciously agreed to contribute a total of $20,000 to the Scholarship programs. The North/South Rotary Football Game has been played every year since 1985. This is the 32nd year of the game. We have gone from 22 high schools, 11 on each side, to 31 high schools on each side in 2017, a total of 62 high schools. The game includes high schools in the Central Valley from Kingsburg to Ripon, from Oakdale to Los Banos and Oakhurst to Madera. These are also locations for Carl s Jr. All proceeds are used for scholarships. Since starting the scholarship program in 1992, we have given away $260,000; that means 260 graduating students from the Central Valley have received a $1,000 scholarship to further their college education. Without the support of Carl's Jr. we would not have been able to give away that many scholarships. The Rotary Clubs in the Central Valley have also been very generous with their support. Due to the generosity of Carl's Jr. and our loyal fans we believe we can reach our goal of providing 33 $1,000 Scholarships in 2017. From all of our coaches, players, parents and our community we want to thank Carl's Jr. for providing us the funds and support in assisting the youth in our community to reach for the STARS.

CLUB ACTIVITIES Madera Sunrise Rotary Sewing Machine Project Keeps on Giving Wheelchair distribution trips result in much more than distributing wheelchairs. There is always another project that receives assistance or a new project that develops along the way. In the case of the wheelchair trip to the Philippines, the new project was the purchase of 12 industrial-type sewing machines for a vocational class at a public high school. While the wheelchair distribution group was visiting the school, Phil Benner, a Madera Sunrise Rotarian, noticed the shortage of machines in the sewing class. He initiated the project. The teacher of the class requested industrial-type sewing machines so students could develop skills needed to earn a higher certification through national exams. She proudly sent photos of the first group of students who passed those exams with skills learned on the new machines a gift for their futures. After the machines arrived, Phil requested that the students in the Philippines make traditional Christmas tree ornaments for the tree that the Madera Sunrise Interact Club was decorating for the Trees for Charity event. The students in the Philippines made ornaments for the Interact students in Madera to put on their tree. The tree was auctioned for $950 with consortium donations bringing the total to $1,800 to go toward projects of the Madera Interact Club a gift from a gift.

CLUB ACTIVITIES Matera Rotary: Doing Good in Guatemala 261 - the number of under-served patients that received medical exams over a three day period. 3 - The number of volunteer physicians that crisscrossed the United States, coming from Texas, South Carolina and Virginia to meet up in Coban, Guatemala to work at the clinic. 2 - The number of Madera Rotarians and first-year college students that performed blood pressure checks, eye tests, measured heights and weights, and kept the patient flow running smoothly. 1 - Experience of a lifetime! Madera Rotarian, Jane Winning RN, has traveled to Coban once or twice a year for the last ten years. Jane, along with Hanford Rotary, has put together multiple trips to Lanquin, a remote village south of Coban but, this trip had a different focus. This time the people served were Nicaraguans that moved to Guatemala during the civil war in their native country. Because they are not Guatemalans they do not have access to government assisted health care. Twelve years ago a school, La Ciudad de Esperanza (The City of Hope), was founded for them, and receives financial support from a Rotary club in Spain. The school includes a small building in which the school nurse, Marco, works. Marco, who speaks the Mayan language, K iche and Spanish, along with two sixteen year-old students, Jacqueline and Jorge, served as translators for the group. Claudia, the wife of a Coban Rotarian pitched the idea of a clinic to Jane; that s all it took. Claudia will follow up and arrange for eye exams for some 50 patients that need glasses; she ll get the prescriptions to Jane who is returning in February and will bring the glasses with her then. Marco will also follow up with patients that needed additional tests and medications. A heartfelt thank you goes out to Dr. Ali (Pediatrician), Dr. Shakeel (Internal Medicine) and Dr. Fidal (Family Practice) who volunteered their time and talents in the spirit of Service Above Self. All the doctors belong to the Association of Physicians of Pakistani descent of the North America (APPNA). The doctors treated everything from aches and pains to a little boy who is a hemophiliac and a little boy with hydrocephalus. When Jane returns in February, the three-year-old with hydrocephalus, who is cared for by his grandmother and is getting too heavy for her to carry, will be fitted with a wheel chair from Hope Haven. Trips like these are life changing. They make you think about the things that are really important - your heath, your family, your friends. Rotary Serving Humanity captures what this trip was about and we as Rotarians are blessed to be able to serve our fellow man.

Ceres Club Speech Contest CLUB ACTIVITIES In January, Ceres Rotary hosted club-level speech tournament finalists with students from Ceres, Central Valley, Whitmore Charter, and Argus/Endeavor High Schools, competing to move on to the Area 12 competition (Ceres/Turlock) in February. Each year local Rotary Clubs encourage high school students to enter the speech competition, which is based on the year s presidential theme of Rotary International. RI President, John F. Germ, chose the theme Rotary Serving Humanity to represent his year in office. Students were to incorporate the theme as it applied to their current and future lives, including educational goals and community involvement, and how Rotarians/Rotary Clubs are serving humanity locally and/or worldwide. Students placed as follows: Madison Zamaroni, CHS, 1st Place; Leslie Alfonso, CVHS, 2nd Place; Ignacio Ochoa, CHS, 3rd Place; and honorable mentions: Danielle Haro, CVHS; Samantha Hendrix, A/EHS and Mohamad Sabri, WCHS. Madison Zamaroni will move on to compete against Turlock area high schools.
