Rotarians who were able to attend our District Annual Meeting at TriCon were invited to take a tree home. These little friends were representatives of District 6250 – our biodiversity and dependence on Rotary Life that motivates our fellowship and service. We take action to create lasting change – but we don’t control anything. We are stewards. When it works, we stand back amazed and grateful. When it doesn’t, we stand back amazed (or is that just me?) and adjust. Rotary Life grows us individually and together, and produces service, integrity, and peace.
 
The trees also served as a nod to this year’s launch of The Rotary Foundation’s seventh area of focus, “Supporting the Environment”. This year we took all kinds of action along this line: We TriCon districts joined together for Rotary Days of Environmental Service in early October, you responded with interesting projects, our District committed to protecting pollinators and joined Operation Pollination, a 6250 Club was awarded the first Global Grant focused on the environment, and awareness of environmental issues and motivation for meaningful action grew.
 
I was able to take home a little spruce. When Hubby and I packaged the trees, the spruce, with their well-developed roots, seemed unstoppably hardy. I planted mine in the sunlight afforded by last fall’s removal of an 80-year oak. Not only is it a great spot for the little guy, but its proximity to the memory of that mighty oak offered an excellent picture of Rotary Life. About two weeks after planting, I went to check on it and photograph it for an inspiring Facebook post I’d already written in my head.
 
The little guy was dying.
 
Not what I had planned.
 
I adjusted. Knowing that dying branches and brown needles don’t come back, I pruned. I hoped. I watered a little more carefully. I added a little red flag near the tree so I wouldn’t overlook it. I worried that others’ trees weren’t fairing well. I sent up a prayer and considered sending out tips. I nixed the Facebook post. It occurred to me that for twenty years of life together, that glorious oak hadn’t asked anything of me.
 
We never know what’s next. However, we can be certain that in Rotary, whatever is next is worthy of our generous attention and gifts. Beginnings are investments, maturity is productive, endings are bittersweet. Every 6250 Rotarian has experience with each phase. Beginnings and endings ask the most of us. 
 
Thank you for planting yourself in Rotary. Thank you for opening yourself to Rotary Life. Thank you for stewarding Rotary Life in fellowship and service. Thank you for a great year Serving to Change Lives. I am proud and grateful to have served as your District Governor. Cheers to a healthy and productive new Rotary year as we Imagine Rotary under the leadership of DG Ben, your club Presidents, and all Rotarians living authentically in favor of service above self.
Long Live Rotary and Rotary ideals.

Change HerStory
How do you tell the story of a menstrual hygiene project in Ghana?


When the International Projects Committee of the Rotary Club of Madison chose its international project in 2018, we knew we had to create messaging that would reduce “discomfort” about the project. After all, who wants to talk about menstrual hygiene at lunch...or maybe at all.


The committee was thrilled to be partnering with the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s new 4W (Women and Wellbeing in Wisconsin and the World) initiative. The goal was to provide a junior high school curriculum to teach adolescent girls and boys about reproduction & menstruation, dispel myths and provide menstrual hygiene “kits” to female students that they could use when they got their period. Over three years, we would work with seven US Rotary clubs, 3 Ghanaian Rotary Clubs, 8 districts and 188 schools and an in-country partner, Days for Girls (an international NGO that advances menstrual equity, health, dignity and opportunity for all) to reach more than 25,000 girls, boys and their families and distribute more than 17,500 kits.


Back to the “discomfort”. Even in our club of smart professionals in Madison, WI, when we started to tell the story, folks would cringe a little and be visibly uncomfortable. So, what do we do? Who do we find to tell the story and what story do we tell?


The answer to who would tell the story? Gray-haired guys, of course. When we proposed this strategy to our committee members, the guys got it. And we were on our way. The first time Committee co-chair, Mike Casey, stood at the podium to introduce the project and ask for contributions, he joked, “You are probably wondering why I’m here talking about menstruation.”


There was a noticeable gasp from the group, a pause and then a room filled with laughter. We had broken the ice and were on our way. Our guys led the way in providing information and asking for donations. Mike Casey recalls, “It was certainly different asking for donations on a project that was not building a bridge or drilling a well. But we were proud to be stepping out in a new direction.”

The committee, after examining the benefits of the proposal, began the lengthy and somewhat circuitous process of applying for a Global Grant. With the help of former DG and Club President, Rob Stroud, we waded through the district process and the application from RI Foundation. We found a changing set of rules and leaders created one “oops” after another.

We searched for a Ghanaian Rotary Club partner. I remember our first video meeting with the club in Tema-Meridian. We were pleased to see women in leadership roles in the club eager to help.

But communication and cooperation with our first club was not so successful. The Club did identify a school district to work in and connected us with the Ghana Education Services Girl Child Coordinator who was essential in getting into the schools. We worked with the Days for Girls manager and plowed forward.

In the meantime, we encountered delays and questions from both the District and the Foundation. In our enthusiasm, we had not followed the normal path. In retrospect, we also realized that the rules were changing during the process. Nonetheless, we moved on, making changes as needed. I remember a drive to Evanston to talk with our project manager at the Foundation. We worked on what would be an acceptable relationship with the University. Not partners, not consultants...contractors. OK.

Meanwhile, committee members created marketing materials for our fundraising visits to other clubs. How can we frame this project in a way that has meaning for everyone? When girls stay in school, their contribution to the economy in their community and country increases substantially. Girls graduating from school result in higher incomes for them and for their country. There are fewer teen pregnancies, early marriages and rapes/incest. And educated girls became women of influence in their communities, making life better for themselves and their children.

One wonderful side light was the involvement of the Interact Clubs at two Madison high schools. Mary Crave returned from Ghana with a box of colorful Ghanaian beads. The students pounced on the project and made bracelets from the beads and sold them to raise $1500+. Their involvement was a wonderful contribution to our efforts and built enthusiasm for the project. Students helping students was a winning plan.

Club members traveled to Ghana on three occasions to help and to observe. Our interactions with the local leaders, Rotarians and Days for Girls, gave us an appreciation for the difficulty of the project work being done and the environment in which they were working. I remember vividly the horrible conditions in the “bathrooms” in the schools. And the lack of clean water everywhere.

And it was amazing to observe the determination of these young people to succeed in school despite the conditions and limitations, particularly for young women. In our visit to a school where the children of our local guide “Papa” attended, I toured the homes of two young women who showed me around. Poverty has an ugly face. At the end of our tour, I gave each girl $20. Grateful, they would use that money to pay their high school expenses. Without it, they would not be able to get further education. One girl told me she wanted to be a doctor and the other a teacher. I hope they achieve their dreams. It’s an uphill battle. That visit and exchange put the whole project in perspective for me.
 
With expert guidance from our 4W Project Manager, Mary Crave, we tweaked the project plan in year two, including involving more schools in lower-income communities and better management of the in-school learning. We worked with Koforidua-New Juaben Rotary Club and 4-H Ghana. They helped identify the schools most in need and still accessible by car. This helped us implement the project more efficiently.

Days for Girls leadership revised the materials for the in-school education and ramped up production of the backpacks filled with menstrual hygiene supplies. They were thrilled to purchase a fast surger to more quickly sew up the kits made from Ghanaian fabric. The number of students we reached was way over the goal and there were more schools than we could accommodate who wanted the training and kits for their students.
 
We also sought a partnership with the Rotary Club of Winneba that resulted in amazing work in our 3rd year. Some members in the Rotary Club of Winneba had relationships with leaders in the Ghana Education Service and opened doors for us, much like 4-H Ghana did in Year 2. Together, we organized training sessions for 90 local School Health Education (SHEP) coordinators as well as community health nurses and Ghana Education Services reps in 4 districts. Days for Girls and Mary Crave developed additional training materials including board games and colorful training visuals and participatory lesson plans for teachers to use throughout the year. Rather than Days for Girls presenting a 2-hour lesson, giving out the kits, and leaving, the SHEP coordinators had the tools and knowledge to train students over the entire school year to reinforce learning and provide on-going support to the students.
 
With our support, Days for Girls delivered washstands and hand-washing supplies to 90 schools to support both this project and COVID-19 recommendations. And kits were distributed in the schools together with training for 8,000 young women and their male counterparts in grades 7-9.

In all, we taught more than 25,000 girls and their male classmates in health, menstrual hygiene, myths and beliefs and we distributed more than 17,500 menstrual hygiene kits in 3 regions of Ghana in the three years of the project. This would not have been possible with the cooperation of our 4W partners at UW- Madison and the expertise of Mary Crave, our project manager. The involvement of non-Rotary experts was a controversial decision from the perspective of the RI Foundation. We do not believe that this project could have been successful without her expertise.

In review, we regret not involving several more Ghanaian Rotary Clubs with resources and their commitment from the very start. Evaluations of the project indicate that the young people appreciated the backpacks and education. Rural young women were more likely to use the reusable pads in the kits than those in the city where disposable pads are available. COVID-19 disrupted our 3rd year efforts, so some of the schedules were condensed and it was impossible to measure if the materials and kits influenced school attendance.

Evaluation in years 1 and 2 indicate that girls did feel more at ease going to school while menstruating. Girls appreciated the kit and many used it. Although they didn’t like washing the pads after use.
 
Menstrual hygiene kits are not a panacea for girls’ school attendance and girls still struggle with the other barriers such as demands at home, menstrual cramps, stigma, lack of safe and clean places to change their pads at school.
 
In the long run, thousands of young people received body literacy training, myths were dispelled, more young women will continue their education and be able to make a living for their families.

We learned from year to year and were able to make changes in years 2 and 3 that created better and more sustained education in the schools. This was an advantage of applying for 3 1-year grants rather than 1 3-year grant.

So what about those grey-haired Rotarians? Well, we all got a few more grey hairs while doing this project and particularly in finalizing the project report with the clubs in Ghana and with RI. I hope that new RI guidelines and procedures will allow more US clubs to get engaged with Rotary clubs and projects in other parts of the world where the need is great.

All of us received an amazing education in working on this project in Ghana. Those of us lucky to travel there to participate and engage with these young people will never forget our experiences.

Our hope is that someday some of these empowered young women will be great leaders in their communities and their country. They will remember Rotary, the gray-haired Rotarians they met and those backpacks.

Thames District Conference Global Scholars

 
Katrina Kalcic, the 2021-2022 Global Scholar sponsored by District 6250 and the Janesville Morning Rotary Club, attended the Thames (UK) District Conference this spring.  Katrina is pictured here kneeling in the front row, far right.  She is in her final term of her Master’s Degree at Oxford University in the Blavatnik School of Government.  The Windsor & Eton Club is her host in the UK.
 
Reflecting on her time at Oxford, Katrina said that collaboration with international professionals and students who are using diverse strategies to achieve positive social change has been a highlight of her work at the University.  Learning the limitations of traditional economic theories in uncertain times has been an important part of her academic training.  In her Principles of International Law class, she deepened her understanding of war crimes, genocide, and dispute resolution. 
 
Katrina Kalcic grew up in Kenosha and attended the University of Wisconsin – Madison for her undergraduate degree in Political Science and Journalism.  Before becoming a Global Scholar, she worked for two years in Uganda and was involved with the United Nations Spotlight Initiative working to reduce violence against women and girls in more than 25 countries.
 
District 6250 is pleased to fund a Global Scholar annually. Rotarian contributions to the Annual Fund/SHARE program make this scholarship using District Designated Funds. Thank you for supporting the Global Scholars we sponsor.

Youth Message

Our Incredible Year

District 6250 is a regional juggernaut in the area of Youth Exchange.  We are amongst the largest programs in the Midwest, currently the largest of the 19 districts that make up the Central States Rotary Youth Exchange organization that stretches from North Dakota to Pennsylvania and includes parts of Canada.  On average year, we welcome approximately 20-25 inbound students from around the world for a year-long exchange, an additional 14 students that do a yo-yo short term exchange (7 Americans go out and 7 foreign students return with them), and an additional 20 young Americans venture abroad from our cities and towns to points all over the world.  All told, that means that over 50 students are touched by the Youth Exchange Program in District 6250 each and every year.
 
It goes without saying that to lead a program that is so comprehensive takes extraordinary individuals.  Our district has been so ably served by our remarkable Youth Exchange chairs – from Harry Van Camp (now a member of Madison Breakfast), to Judy Levine (2008 – 2014), to now Jan Bonsett-Veal (2014 – current).  Each of these leaders held numerous positions within Youth Exchange before ascending to the chair position.  It may be safe to say that no one position within Rotary demonstrates such loyalty and dedication to purpose as does the Youth Exchange Program.
 
Jan Bonsett-Veal is about to embark on a new role as the Vice Chair of the Central States Rotary Youth Exchange organization.  She takes over on July 1st, and will be the first woman ever to hold this position.  In one year, on July 1, 2023, she will take over as the first woman president of the Central States Rotary Youth Exchange Organization.  How fitting that this will occur the same year as Jennifer Jones becomes our first woman president of Rotary International.
 
I have the incredibly enormous challenge of filling these incredibly capable shoes.  This year I will be co-chairing with Jan – but in truth just trying to keep up with the incredible flow of communications and work flow.  Jan is quick to say that if it wasn’t for the dedicated volunteers who give incredible effort to the Youth Exchange program – from the Youth Exchange Officers, Counselors and Youth Protection Officers in our clubs… to the remarkable Outbound Exchange team (led by John Holevoet and Ann Oberle), Inbound Exchange team (led by Janine O’Rourke and Tammi Richmond), and Short-Term Exchange Team (led by Carl Kinsley)… to the remarkable Judy Steinhauer and Sharon Richmond – who keep on top of the incredible flow of background checks, applications, foreign visas…( I could go on and on).  If it wasn’t for this dedicated team, I don’t know how it would get done.  But it does… in large part to the incredible work over these past 8 years by Jan.  Congratulations Jan!!  On behalf of all who have had the honor of working with you, I think past chair Judy Levine said it best when she shared with me by email:
 
“She will be a great leader of Central States – just as she has been as our district chair.”
 
I could not agree more. 😊

International Service Committee

 
Our Rotary District (western Wisconsin) has raised and donated nearly $60,000 to Ukrainian relief efforts in various counties.  In early June the District’s International Service Committee (ISC) met via Zoom with Ms. Irma Kaminska of Olsztyn, Poland.  Irma is responsible for supporting the 80+ Polish Rotary clubs in their refugee response. She is primarily tasked with identifying good projects that need additional funding.  Irma is also a friend of our District having worked with the Rotary Clubs of Columbus, Mayville, Beaver Dam and Waupun on a Global Grant for a training kitchen in her community,now up and running.  She also attended our District Gathering in Hamburg in 2019 and presented at our Virtual District Conference in 2020.
 
Irma explained that projects in better known cities like Warsaw and Cracow are being funded quicker than projects in lesser-known Polish cities.  For this reason, the ISC recommended, and the District’s Foundation Committee approved, a $25,000 donation to the Rotary Club of Szczecin, Poland and a $14,000 donation to the Rotary Club of Bydgoszcz Stare Miasto.  The Szczecin funding will go out as a challenge grant funding the operation of 3 refugee centers in that community.  The Bydgoszcz funding will be used to support a Rotary Food Pantry “Rotary Shelf” for the next 6 months.
 
The following powerful videos was produced by the Szczecin Rotary Club and brings home the impact of this war on the 2-3 million Ukrainians currently living as refugees in Poland:

When Miles Don’t Matter

 
She’s like you in so many ways. As a Rotary Club President, she motivates, plans, leads, and finds a way to balance her busy non-Rotary life. 
 
And then there’s the unusual, unexpected, and uninvited way she isn’t like you at all. President Nila is a refugee. Nila left behind soldiers and neighbors in Zaporizhzhia and attends Rotary Club meetings in her temporary home of Olstyn, Poland. There she met Irma, a fellow Rotarian and friend of 6250. Irma’s club and 6250 Rotarians successfully wrote a global grant to establish a culinary training center in Olstyn a few years ago. Plans for a Friendship Exchange have begun.
 
Together, Nila and Irma are leading efforts to do the most good in the best way for the people and soldiers in Zaporizhzhia. Devastated by battles, without access to medical care, in desperate need of intensive humanitarian aid, Rotary Club of Olstyn Varnia, plans to send first aid kits in two sizes. The small kit will be designed to strap to a belt and the large kit will fill a backpack. The kits are intended for use not only by medics, but also by other people in the conflict area who are able to provide emergency first aid, saving health and life. The kits have been conceived and designed in consultation with military and medical leaders serving on the front line.
 
Few opportunities to serve are so immediately necessary. Few opportunities will connect you so intimately lives saved and tended. Thanks to Rotary networks, miles do not matter. Will you help?
 
We hope to raise $30,000 in 30 days – half of the project’s total cost. Gifts can be sent to our 6250 Foundation via the link below or by scanning the graphic. Whether or not you have given to help Ukraine, we hope it will be your pleasure to help again. No gift is too small.

Rotary Friendship Exchange – District 6250 (Wisconsin) and District 2231 (Poland) – Open to All District 6250 Rotarians.
 
 
Please read fully … contact Edwin Bos at edwin@bosdesignbuilders.com if interested.  If you don’t receive a confirmation your interest has not been noted.  Please resend.
 
 
What:  Rotary Friendship Exchange (home and hotel stays, meetings and tours) with various Rotary Clubs and Rotarians in Poland.  Return leg will bring Polish Rotarians to our District.  See also:  Rotary International Website RFE Information
 
When:  District 6250 travel to 2231 … approximately September 22nd to October 3rd, 2022.  District 2231 to 6250 … TBD but probably 2023.  No visa requirements in either direction, just a passport. 
 
Where:  Primarily northern Poland.  Fly into Wroclaw and then by train to Poznan, Szczecin, Bydgoszcz, Olsztyn and Gdansk.  Transport between cities by train.  In nearly all these cities District 6250 has either participated in Rotary Global Grants, offered Ukrainian refugee support or sent Exchange Students.  We will see a friendly face every time we step off the train 😊.  See also map below.
 
Who:  Maximum of 12 interested Rotarians, spouses and/or family members.  If oversubscribed / too much interest, we will use District 6250 RFE policy parameters to put the final group together.  Note that the policy favors RFE novices.  If you travel to Poland you are expected to host and to enlist your club members to host when the Polish Rotarians visit Wisconsin.
 
How:  TBD but probably meet in Warsaw and then fly together to Wroclaw.   RFE (10 days or so), must be willing to let others organize your life and to go with the flow during the RFE.  Private travels within Europe both before and after the complete RFE are your choice.  Final District 6250 RFE group will meet in Wisconsin at least once prior to the trip to work out details, presentations etc.
 
Costs:  Round-trip cost for an open-jaw 12-hour flight to Wroclaw (via Warsaw) is around $500 right now.  There will be train and bus travel expenses.  Typically, as part of the RFE, you are hosted by local Rotarians, however, given the refugee situation in Poland at the moment we will need to be flexible as this may not always be possible or practical for our hosts.  These details are being worked out by the Trip Leaders. 
 
Timing:  We hope to have the final group identified by the end of July 2022.    
 
Trip Leader 6250:  Rotarian Edwin Bos whose wife is Polish (she will not be joining) and who first visited Poland in 1988 and has extensive experience there.
 
Trip Leader 2231:  Rotarian Irma Kaminska from Olsztyn.  Irma has extensive international experience.  In 2019 Irma led a Global Grant that involved our Columbus, Mayville, Waupun and Beaver Dam Clubs.  Irma spoke at our District conference in 2020 and she currently serves as Rotary Poland’s “Refugee Disaster Chair” and, in that role, provides invaluable assistance to our District in identifying worthwhile and meaningful projects.
 
Please let Edwin know if interested at the e-mail given above.  Questions are welcome but please realize that very few details of the trip have been worked out.  Firm interest appreciated given the trip is only three months away.  At the end of July participants will be asked for a $500 deposit which will be fully refunded upon return.  Sorry to have to do this but we need to be certain that we only have seriously interested people signed up and we need to be certain that everyone participates in the full RFE.

June Membership Update

At the close of another Rotary year, our membership has changed. We are slightly fewer in numbers, have slightly more women, are somewhat more diverse, have very good retention in the long term, and are normal in comparison to the other districts in our zone - about 35 districts running north-south through the center of the United States and part of Ontario. Worldwide, Rotary has grown by a net 11,000 members – the first year of net growth for quite some time. South Korea, much of Africa, and India have lead the addition of new members and new clubs.
 
Here are some 6250 highlights!
 
 
Congratulations to the clubs who won membership grants this year. The district made grants to support membership recruitment events mid-year, and are happy to announce the grant awards supporting new member service here at the end of this year. Congratulations to the Rotary Clubs of Black River Falls, Janesville Noon, Lake Mills, Mayville, and Prairie du Chien! We look forward to what your cadre of new members plan and execute in Rotary service!
 
This year I also have the pleasure of awarding a special $500 Governor’s Grant for the new members of Rotary Club of Holmen Area (HARC). HARC inducted four members in the meeting immediately following the grant application deadline. While HARC applied for the grant and barely missed qualifying, the induction of four more new members puts them near the top of all awardees. I’m sure you’ll join me in celebrating their success! HARC also formally organized an annual new member service project under the leadership of their Past President -  whether or not they win a district grant. Well done, HARC! We are proud of you.
 
Thank you to all of our clubs for inviting your community members to join you in Rotary fellowship and service. Mark your calendars now for next year’s membership grant opportunities: Membership Growth in December and New Member Projects in May.

Rotary loves slogans and themes
 
Each month has a theme. June is Rotary Fellowships.
 
Each RI President has a theme and image.
 
The words and image are unique and personal to them and their year. The incoming RI President (RIPE) introduces their theme to the District Governors-Elect at the International Assembly each January. RIPE Jennifer Jones addressed the 529 DGEs almost six months ago and unveiled her stunning theme for 2022-2023: Imagine Rotary.
 
As Hamlet said, “If it be now, 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the readiness is all.
 
The 2022-23 theme is yet to come… July 1. It is not now. Now we are still “Serving to Change Lives”.
 
And yes, the readiness is all. Please be ready to use, share, and be energized by Imagine Rotary…July 1, 2022.

In a recent survey, Rotary International learned that engaging members and delivering value was a challenge that 42% of respondents said was the toughest. Engaged Rotarians have found something that is valuable and that is why they stay members and invite others to join. Understanding (and being at peace with) where you are as a club is a first step. A quick second step is to plan how you’d like to move forward. Hear are some great resources to help you do all of that.

Three things you can do next to help your club thrive: 
  1. With your club leadership team take the Club Health Check. This interactive guide asks you to review elements of your club like the club experience, service and socials, members, public image, and business and operations. Then decide which areas need attention. 
  2. Learn from clubs in our region that are changing the experience they offer by engaging their members, conducting meaningful projects, and trying new ideas.
  3. Share what you’ve learned about the health of your club and ask members for their ideas. Lasting change happens when everyone works toward the same goals. When you’ve developed a plan, you can customize this slide presentation to explain it during a club meeting. 
If you haven’t yet explored the Club Planning Assistant, it’s available anytime, and you can visit it as often as you like. Your District Leadership team is here, please remember that your Assistant Governor or any of us are available and happy to help.
