Governor’s Monthly Letter
August 2018
DG Dr. Shailesh Palekar RID 3131
DG Message - Dil Se to my call for Organ Donation and we have reached across to lakhs of people via presentations in various institutions, social media channels, Press , Hoardings ,TV shows etc. I salute all our motivated Rotarians for this fabulous movement that they have created. Dear Rotarians, At the outset, I wish to express my deep condolensces to the sad demise of our beloved District Rotaract Secretary Ojas Apte. Ever since the new year had been drawing closer, the hulchul in the District picked up a new tempo. Lot of enthusiasm, energy and vigor has been on display. The clubs were in a celebration mode and installations started over the District. Infact, I did the first installation program on 14th June and virtually every single day since then I have been travelling to Pune and the peripheries. Installation programs have been a tremendous experience for me. This year, I was more focused on understanding the plans of the club, focus on various thrusts and also understanding the strength of the clubs and depth of its members. One thing I surely garnered was that club Leaders are tremendously inspired and motivated to take the clubs to newer heights. By the time this GML goes to print I will have completed a whopping 58 installations. Also by the time this GML reaches you, we have set a new Benchmark of Guinness World Record for the highest pledges of Online Organ Donation which was held on 9th August 2018. I am tremendously impressed by the way in which the clubs have responded
pulse
I am also happy to state that our first Global Grant Project for Cervical Cancer Vaccination has been approved and we will kick start our movement in a big way very shortly. Recently I attended the river cleaning project organized by 20 clubs jointly, it was a great sight to see more than 500 Rotarians and Anns with gloves, masks and sticks cleaning the river very passionately. We also enjoyed the District Monsoon Fellowship at Krushnai Water Park again held jointly by 11 clubs of our District. Kudos to Director Fellowship Anil Shitole for leading these clubs and organizing a superb event attended by about 425 Rotary Family Members. Our RYE team is one team that actually works focused in their plans. We flagged our Out Bound children few days ago and we look forward also to receive our inbound students shortly. This year we have a record 31 students going abroad to skill themselves as better individuals and spread the message of friendship and peace across the world. Our first CRM program flags off on 12th August and I have butterflies in my tummy. This is a new experiment to connect our District Directors and Club Directors. It is a activity conceived with lot of thought and plans, our Directors are motivated to connect with the clubs and I hope the club Directors will also respond
positively and if they do so, then the take home is going to be absolutely great and unique. Since it is a fairly big District , my OCVs start on 17th August. This is also going to be a one of its kind experience for me, motivating the members of every club to passionately work towards our cause and achieve goals set for the year. The aim is to make all our clubs get the RI Citation. On a very positive note I want to conclude by saying, yes all clubs are charged and geared up to create miracles for 2018-19.

News Flash On the 9th August 2018 RID 3131 with Sahyadri Hospitals Pune achieved Guinness Book of World Record for Pledging by maximum number of Organ Donors (22,311) in 8 hours.

Moving from Pulse Polio to Polio Plus is very important as Rotarians have many more objectives to achieve. “We at India cannot be happy with the status of 99% Polio free world though we are 100% poliofree nation. Our next door Pakistan is not polio free and polio is just a bus journey away from us” said PRIP Raja Saboo in his speech. He emphasized the need to work hard and make it a point to eradicate it by 100% from the world.

Membership and New Club development month August is designated as Membership month by RI. This is the first month after the clubs change guard in July.

And this figure is stagnant for almost two decades. Rotary International is a service organization with a stated purpose to bring together business and professional leaders in order to provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and to advance goodwill and peace in the world with the vision of making the world a better place for living. The worldwide challenges of poverty,
hygiene, water & sanitation, education are enormous and huge fund is necessary to provide the necessary infrastructures for addressing the above challenges. The governments world over are working for the welfare of their populations.
and should possess good reputation within their business, profession, and community; and should be willing to serve in their community and around the world. There is no upper age limit. However, to infuse vitality in the clubs, it is necessary to invite younger members & ladies into the Rotary fold.
Rotary International is supplementing their efforts. And to achieve a reasonable impact in the communities, a large force of volunteers is necessary. And that is where we need more members.
More members means more hands to work with, more ideas to choose from, more funds to spend. More members bring in more classifications. It means expertise in many more areas.
Membership in Rotary is by invitation. Rotarians are volunteers. Cross sections of all vocations available in the geographical area of a club are represented in the club. Representation of a particular classification (vocation) is limited to maximum of 10 percent of the club’s membership. Rotary is choosy when it comes to inviting new members. The new members to be invited should be adults with good character, integrity

I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for the overwhelming love and affection given to us during all our installation visits to various clubs. The whole experience has been truly amazing. Talking to you all and sharing experiences has been so wonderful. Involve spouses in rotary activities and the results are - membership growth is assured as well as increase in attendance in club meetings. International friendship Day is on 6th August and Rotary has designated this month as Membership and New Club Development month. I am very happy to see that wheels of all our clubs have started rolling and many projects are flashing on the screens of social media. Let us think differently in this year as Miracle Chasers. We have planned ALL WOMEN’S CAR RALLY from 26th September to 30th September. We would be covering 10 rotary districts. I urge you all to join this rally. It is to promote - women empowerment/save the girl child / organ donation/ cervical cancer vaccination and FRIENDSHIP! I assure you we will have wonderful time together. Looking forward to see you in large numbers. I urge everyone to celebrate every Rotary Moment, appreciate everyone’s contribution to the success and enjoy your journey. All this without neglecting our families and disturbing our work. I am aware that each one of you is Inspired to analyse the needs of the community and serve to bring about a

Betterment of Rotarians… This is first of the articles for all of us who want to be better leaders. Look forward to educative and informative articles by Rtn. Manjoo Phadke every month in GML. Rotary, being a Non-for-Profit Service organisation, needs empathetic leaders who would put betterment of the society ahead of their own needs. It requires such leadership that not only is comfortable but is proactive in sharing the power, trusting people, and thinking of others before self, helping develop people and guiding the teams towards very high performance for achieving a common goal. This can be provided by Servant Leadership. Servant Leadership may sound as a relatively new concept but it’s being practiced ever since the evolution times. Whenever there have been Haves and Have-Nots, Servant Leadership has played an important role of upliftment. “The servantleader is servant first…It begins with the natural feeling that one wants to serve, to serve first. Then conscious choice brings one to aspire to lead.” - Robert K. Greenleaf. Servant Leadership is a philosophy and set of practices that enriches the lives of individuals, builds better organizations and ultimately creates a more just and caring world.Many Servant Leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Baba Amte and many more from the local soil have toiled relentlessly to ensure better world. It needs empathy, understanding, listening, awareness & healing capabilities in addition to usual skills needed by the other leaders. In the following articles (these will be every month in GML), we will have a look at various such qualities, capabilities and skills that we need to acquire or hone to become better Leaders to begin with and subsequently better Servant Servant Leaders and in turn, Better Rotarians.
