Rotary does not exist in Vietnam yet. A team of International Rotarians, led by a Past RI President, is working with the Vietnamese government to bring Rotary here.
In the meantime, my Vietnamese business students in Hanoi, Vietnam, experience community service as projects related to their coursework. This semester, two classes are learning about Business & Government Relations, and especially, about Corporate Social Responsibility.
The students in these two classes selected a local non-profit service to support. One class selected an orphanage that provides a home for children from infant to six-years-old who have been abandoned by their parents. Today, the class delivered food, diapers, and supplies, to the orphanage. It was a heart-warming experience. Rotary is here in spirit, if not in name.
The students insisted that I deliver the first two gift bags to the children, and then they visited the children's rooms to deliver the remaining bags.

Here is a Facebook link to the photos I took at the orphanage today. You do not need a Facebook account to view these.

Rotary has designated March for Literacy Awareness. It's such an important topic that Rotary has made SUPPORTING EDUCATION one of our Six Areas of Focus. Sixty-seven million children worldwide have no access to education and more than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. Rotary's goal worldwide is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy. Like all Rotary clubs, the E-Club is developing options to support literacy in our community and possibly abroad to support this mission. We have special guest speakers this month providing information on literacy programs and we invite all our Rotary E-Club members and Rotarians everywhere to join us online or view the recorded programs once they are posted to our Learning Library.
Rotary E-Club of SOWNY is featuring two special guest speakers this month who will share their organizations work on literacy that engages Rotary Clubs in District 7090.
March 6th @ 7PM, we welcome Jeff Conyers, Executive Director of The Dollywood Foundation
March 20th @ 7PM we welcome Anne Ryan, Executive Director, Read to Succeed Buffalo

The board of the Rotary E-Club of SOWNY discussed options for our members to make donations for Philippine Relief and have narrowed it down to two recommended avenues to support this effort. We encourage every Rotarian to consider making a donation to either of these organizations to help those afflicted in the Philippines.
The Rotary website is loaded with resources available to members world wide. Do you know how to access the Membership portal (entitled MY ROTARY)? Have you established a Log-IN User name and Pass Code? You need to do this! Here's why and how to do it !
Due to some technical challenges during our last online meeting, we have posted the following guidelines below to our website under the ABOUT E-CLUB tab. It is important that all members of E-Club read these guidelines carefully for future online participation. If we all take the time to assess our equipment and test our settings once we have logged into a meeting, it will ensure minimal disturbances. We will also take the time to do some basic training on the GoToTraining/Citrix tool at our next Club Assembly. Please direct any questions or concerns to rotaryeclub7090@roadrunner.com
The Rotary E-Club of SOWNY utilizes Citrix online tools; namely GoToTraining (GTT) and GoToMeeting (GTM). The GoToTraining tool is used for all Board Meetings, Club Assemblies and Regular Meetings when we host guest speakers and presentations.
We open our online meetings and stellar presentations to visiting Rotarians and guests outside of Rotary. If you would like to learn about our club, click on ALL ABOUT ROTARY and ALL ABOUT E-CLUB from our Home Page. Register for a presentation and meet us online! If you are interested in joining this E-Club, simply find our Membership Application online (Click on All About E-Club to download the application) and email your completed form to us. If you have questions, you can reach us at rotaryeclub7090@roadrunner.com
Our motto in Rotary is SERVICE ABOVE SELF. Members of our E-Club live or work or have some affiliation with our District 7090 encompassing Southern Ontario, Canada and Western New York, US, or are referred by a member of our club. We meet online on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Thursday evenings of each month at 7PM - 8PM. Plus we attend a traditional Rotary meeting once a month in our local area. It's fun, it's simple, it's cost effective and it takes up less time to belong to a Rotary E-Club. If this model is for you, we'd love to hear from you!
