January, 2013 Rotary Awareness Month

From President Dossenbach HAPPY NEW YEAR to everyone! It’s that time of the year when we as members of The Sanford Rotary need to concentrate on our upcoming projects for the first quarter.

The first is our annual fundraiser, the 2013 Charity Gala, Saturday, February 16, 2013. We depend on it to enable us to support world-wide and local non-profits.

We all need to concentrate on selling tickets—@ $50.00 per couple, a deal by any standard. Our eight new members should enable us to sell at least an extra 40 to 60 tickets. Call everyone you sold to last year. Think of a few more you can call this year. Ticket sales will make up at least half of the funds raised by this project. Also, without people attending, we can’t sell our auction items.

We did an outstanding job last year of procuring $25.00-valued Raffle and Door Prize Items. We need at least twenty-four, along with Live Auction Items. Last year, these two categories netted us about $7000. Please ask those same businesses for their continued support and acquire additional business supporters. Steve Brewer, our host at The Flame Steakhouse, has generously donated FOUR $25.00-gift certificates, and I’ve managed to get a signed basketball (BIG BUCKS, don’t you think?) from the Wolf Pack Club. Everyone can be/needs to be involved in this process. If you know other companies (e.g., Lowes, Walmart) that could sponsor this event, please contact them or ask me to.

We’ve also always had many generous member sponsors and hope they will continue their support.

Our first quarter includes, too, the Interact Club’s Rotary Against Drugs speeches and Stop Hunger Now, March 16th, led by Mitch Reese. Being a Rotarian is all about helping others less fortunate.

Again, I wish all of you a happy, healthy new year.

YIR,

Alan

Rotary Awareness Month

Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, Hiram E. Shorey, and Paul P. Harris

Loehr, a mining engineer, was born in Carlinville, Illinois.

He was a Rotarian for only a few years and never served as an officer, but that first Rotary meeting was held in his office, Room 711 of the Unity Building in downtown Chicago. Born in Maine, Shorey, too, was in Rotary for a short while but was Recording Secretary during the first year.

Schiele, President of Schiele Coal Company, was the Chicago Club’s first President and Rotary International’s third Treasurer. Born in Terre Haute, Indiana, where he attended Business College, he was in the Army during the SpanishAmerican War. He and Harris were lifelong friends, lived near each other on Chicago’s South Side, and are buried near each other in Mount Hope Cemetery. Originally from Michigan, Ruggles was a graduate of Northwestern and joined Rotary at its second meeting. He was Treasurer of the Chicago Club its first year, President 1908-1910, and a Rotary Director 1912-1913. He introduced singing to Rotary meetings, and his H. L. Ruggles & Co. printed the first issue of The National Rotarian and the first Rotary songbook.

Paul P. Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, and Hiram E. Shorey met in Chicago, 23 February 1905, for what become known as the first Rotary Club meeting. Schiele served as the first President; Harris, the third (February 1907). San Francisco established the second club in 1908, and others began appearing across North America. On 1 August 1912, the Rotary Club of London became the first chartered abroad, although one had been organized earlier in Dublin but did not receive its charter until 1 May 1913.

Paul Harris was elected first President of the National Association of Rotary Clubs (later, Rotary International) in 1910 and is the only one to have served two terms. Canadian E. Leslie Pidgeon (1917-1918) was the first from outside the United States; Sydney W. Pascall (19311932), the first from Great Britain; and Maurice Duperrey (1937-1938), the first from continental Europe. Duperrey was the first International President from abroad to tour America. He wired The Sanford Rotary that he and his wife would pass through on the New York Limited of the Seaboard Railroad 18 October 1937, at 7:54 P.M., and would be glad to see any or all at the station. Our members turned out, replete with a gift for Madame Duperrey.

Edinburgh, Scotland, hosted the first convention outside North America in June 1921. The first in Asia was held in Tokyo in 1961. Among the record-setting 23,366 registrants, paid and unpaid, was the Emperor of Japan. The largest convention to date, based on the number of paid registrants, was Osaka in 2004, followed by the Rotary Centennial Convention, held in Chicago in 2005. This year’s Rotary International Convention is June 23-26 in Lisbon, Portugal.

In 1929, The Rotary Foundation gave its first gift, $500, to the International Society for Crippled Children (later, Easter Seals), founded in 1921 by Rotarian Edgar F. Allen, of the Rotary Club of Elyria, Ohio.

Recognition of Paul Harris Fellows was established in 1957 to show appreciation for contributions and to encourage substantial ones to what was then the Foundation’s only program, Rotary Foundation Fellowships for Advanced Study, precursor of Ambassadorial Scholarships.

Now the recognition acknowledges individuals who contribute (or have contributions made in their name) $1,000 to The Rotary Foundation.

Dr. Cline’s POLIOPLUS Corner

Member Spotlight

The Journal of the American Medical Association [AMA] reports “blocks everywhere.”

Classification: Building Supplies (President, Lee Builder Mart)

A. R. Khowaja et al., researchers from Pakistan and the United States, Bulletin of the World Health Organization (2012; 90 [11]: 822830), report that “The refusal of many Pakistani parents to vaccinate their children against polio is the greatest barrier to eradication of the disease in that country.

The group surveyed 1,017 parents of young children living in the country’s largest city, Karachi.

They also interviewed 30 parents of Pashtun ethnicity. Pashtuns have the highest rates of polio in the country but would not allow vaccination. Reasons commonly cited for refusing it include lack of knowledge about the vaccine, lack of faith in its effectiveness, misperceptions about such adverse effects as infertility, and fear that the vaccine could contain ingredients forbidden by their religion. ...

In late December, after eight people involved in the polio effort were shot and killed in two days, the United Nations suspended its polio vaccination drive in Pakistan.

The Sanford Rotary “Back in the Day” Early in 1925, some Sanford business leaders thought it would be nice to have a Rotary Club, though a few worried that the town was too small. Only two people here had belonged to a Rotary Club or another civic organization—E. C. (“Tuts”) Heins and Dr. R. C. Gilmore, Pastor of First Presbyterian.

The latter, though he had belonged to a Rotary, doubted its success. Not one of the original twenty, he joined shortly. The last charter member, Dr. Arthur Barber, died in 1983, at age 91.

The Sanford Rotary came into being ten years after Raleigh organized the Rotary that was its first civic club and twenty years after the very first Rotary was chartered in Chicago in 1905 by Paul Harris and others. Dunn, assisted by Raleigh, sponsored us. We were the 2,021st Rotary.

The Club met at the Methodist Church on Tuesdays, 12:30-1:30. Each member paid 75¢ for lunch and was fined 25¢ if he was more than five minutes late.

The first Club Charter Night was May 14, 1925. The “wit and humor” on the occasion set a hallmark for which we still aim (!). The banquet was held at the American Legion Hall, where the Ladies’ Auxiliary of the American Legion served a “sumptuous supper” to 120. The Raleigh Rotary Orchestra entertained.

The first meal served at the new Wilrik Hotel [whose name derived from Wilkins-Ricks Company] was a noon banquet on Tuesday, July 28, 1925, for The Sanford Rotary, of which Lucien Perryman Wilkins, grandfather of current member Joy Gilmour, was a charter member. It offered Grapefruit Cocktail, Puree of Tomato, Fried Spring Chicken, Cold Roast Beef, French Fried Potatoes, Carrots and Peas, Corn on the Cob, California Peach Salad, Vanilla Ice Cream, Wafers, Hot Rolls, Coffee, Tea, and Milk. Special guests from town were invited. The servers were “young women” dressed in white; the bell boy and butlers wore uniforms; an orchestra of Sanford youth played on the mezzanine. The meetings moved, later, to Campbell’s Restaurant and then to the Elks Club.

The first Ladies Night for “Rotary Anns,” as wives were known, was held 12 June 1925. The Sanford Music Club gave a recital. Member Lux Cross announced that Rotary was making every effort to assist the unmarried members in securing mates. At Ladies Night 10 February 1953, Andy and Barbara Griffith, then teaching school in Goldsboro, presented the program. Shortly thereafter, he recorded “What It Was Was Football” and was on his way to The Andy Griffith Show and beyond. The Rotary Ann Night of February 9, 1971, is known for the speaker who didn’t show up. Dr. Floyd Knight made an impromptu speech. Afterward, he was named Rotarian of the Year.

I assumed that the designation took off from Raggedy Ann (and Andy). Not so! In 1914, Rotarians in San Francisco rode a special train to Houston to attend the Rotary Convention. Few women accompanied their husbands then, and, until the train reached Los Angeles, the only one on board was Mrs. Ann Brunnier, who was introduced as her husband’s “Ann” and, quickly, as “Rotary Ann.” The members aboard planned to ask that the next convention be held in San Francisco. Immediately, one of them wrote a “Rotary Ann” chant to include in the “advertising” they meant to “perform” upon arrival. The derivation of “Rotary Anns” was still incomplete, however. In the delegation meeting the train was Philadelphia Rotarian Guy Gundaker, whose wife was also “Ann.” When the chant began, both ladies were paraded about on the Rotarians’ shoulders. The term spread and continued to be reinforced by the fact that both husbands served as Presidents of Rotary International (Gundaker in 1923; Brunnier in 1952), with each of the original Anns becoming known as the “First Lady of Rotary International.” The next step was the introduction of Rotary Ann Auxiliaries, proposed by Maimee Lee Browne of Oklahoma City in 1928. [See my “Sadler (But Wiser),” “North Carolina Notables” column, “A Rotary Couple,” on Bill and Peggy Wyatt, in the Lee County Star-Tribune—http://lee.countync.us/columnists.]

In 1970, Dr. Floyd Knight hosted the entire club at dinner as the promised pay-off for reaching 100 members. That success continued and led to our sponsoring a new club for the Jonesboro area in 1985.

The prime movers included Albert M. Ankrom, Hubert Garner, George Curry, and Bill Lawrence.
