A message from President Lesa.....

Thanks to all that were able to join us for the Changing of the Guard last week. It was a great time had by all. I think it’s such a great thing to be able to Fellowship with one another again! For this coming year, the Board and I have been talking about all the exciting changes happening with this new year of Imagining Rotary.

First, if you didn’t already know, the First Women Rotary International President was sworn in for the 2022-2023 year. Jennifer Jones, is friendly, down to earth and a go getter! I’m really excited for the things she will do with RI this year. Rotaract is one big change. She intends on adding a Rotaract Member on most of her RI committees, as they are now a part of Rotary International in their own rights. At RI in Houston this year, we saw a lot of young folks who were Rotaract clubs and very excited to be there. Speaking of RI Houston. What a great event. Every Member who attends comes away with some new knowledge about Rotary, anyone who has the chance to attend, should.

Bill has some great speaker lineups and we hope to do more Fellowship events this year. By the way, if any member has a fellowship idea they would like to share, please contact anyone on the Board. With all that said, expect a phone call, just to catch up, get your thoughts from me. I will take just a little bit of your time, unless you prefer to talk a lot about Rotary

December Note

President's Message

It’s hard to believe that we are in the last month of ’21 and I have to say I am very proud to be part of a group that continues to thrive and make a difference during this challenging year. I want to send out a huge congratulation to all the members of our club as we have made some great contributions to our community.

This year's Thanksgiving Turkey Drive, led by Mike Hammes, exceeded the goal and raised a total of $32,000. This provided over 2000 turkeys to families in need through the Bellingham food bank. Do you realize that Bellingham Bay Rotary Club has made this contribution to the food bank for the past 15 years?

I also want to extend a huge thank you to our members' donations at our November 22 meeting. During our Bucks in the Bay we raised $2,000 to donate to the Whatcom Community Foundation for flood relief for Whatcom County citizens. The club’s generosity was matched with a donation of $5000 from the Bellingham Bay Rotary Foundation to the Whatcom Community Foundation for flood relief.

As a reminder, December 14 will be the last club virtual meeting for 2021, since we are meeting on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays while virtual.

As of 2022 we will be moving to in person meetings at the Four Points by Sheraton hotel beginning January 11 and back to weekly meetings. We will have a new RSVP process and payment system, so watch for additional details in an upcoming email.

I want to thank everybody for all they’ve done to make this Rotary year work as best as it can be and to continue to contribute to our community. I wish you and your family a wonderful and relaxing holiday season.

October/ November Notes

Flood Relief for Whatcom County: The Whatcom Community Foundation's Resilience Fund supports those affected by the catastrophic flooding our community experience. The Bellingham Bay Rotary Club Foundation will be making a donation to flood relieve. If you would like to donate through the Club's PayPal Account, click here.

Our Rotaract Club has decided to do a bake sale to raise money for Flood Relief. The Whatcom County Foundation has a Flood Relief Fund that all our profits will go to. They are working to get the word out as much as possible! Orders can be placed through this Google Form link (https://forms.gle/xLWqMEXtJFyJCTWm6) and payment will be taken through PayPal and Venmo.

Long time fellow member Dr. Ed Zech passed away suddenly Monday November 15^th in Potomac MD where he and his wife Deborah relocated after leaving Bellingham. A few notes from his obituary in the Washington Post: At age 24, he married the love of his life, Deborah Zech. He attended Seattle University, then the Creighton University School of Medicine, and finally completed a general surgery residency at Oakland Naval Hospital in 1986. He served in the United States Navy for 24 years, earning a Legion of Merit and other awards, and eventually retiring from the Navy in 2000 after serving as the Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Bethesda Naval Hospital. Following eight more years in private practice, Ed retired and settled in Potomac, MD with his family. He was an avid hiker, gardener, baker, "aspiring chef", lover of bad jokes, and Eagle Scout. Ed’s inurnment will be at Arlington National Cemetery.

Charitable Giving Committee

Bellingham Bay Rotary has a long tradition of supporting organizations in the community through small grants of up to about $1500. The Charitable Giving Committee, currently chaired by Mark Turner, solicits applications, reviews them, and makes funding recommendations to the board. If you'd like to step up and help with this important club function, let Mark know at mark@turnerphotographics.com. This is a time-limited committee, with all the work happening between now and the end of January and most of it in January as we review applications. While the decisions can be challenging (we always get asked for more money than we have), it's fun to give away money to worthy causes.

Bellingham Food Bank Thanksgiving Turkey Drive: Please take a moment and consider making a donation and have a huge impact on those less fortunate in our community to make their Thanksgiving special. If you have already contributed, thank you for your generosity! You can make your donation through this link: Turkey Drive 2021 Rotarians Feeding Their Hungry Neighbors

September Notes

Message from President Lance

I hope everyone is enjoying the first days of Fall. In looking at the current status of the COVID numbers in our community it doesn’t appear that we will likely be returning to in-person meetings for several weeks. With that said the Board wanted to ask members opinions on our virtual meetings. We have developed a very brief two question survey asking members as to their thoughts on frequency and length of our virtual meetings. Check your September 27 email newsletter for the survey link.

August Notes 2021

President's Update: In Person Meetings

COVID is impacting how we manage our lives yet again. As we all are aware, today the Governor’s mask mandate for all public indoor spaces is now in effect. With the significant increase in COVID cases in our community it has caused the board to re-evaluate when BBRC resumes in person meetings. For those who may not have seen the email I wanted to send this out again through our member bulletin. As you are aware, a couple months back the BBRC Board had sent out a survey to membership as to their thoughts on when we should return to in person Rotary meetings. From the survey results, it was determined to return to in-person meetings beginning September 7^th. However, the situation we are currently experiencing with COVID in our community has changed significantly since this decision to move forward with September in-person meetings was made. As Whatcom County is in the fifth wave of the virus, we are seeing reported COVID cases at levels seen at the peak of the pandemic back in February of this year.

The BBRC Board wants to check in with membership and ensure that they are comfortable and safe in returning to in-person meetings. We have drafted a simple survey we ask that you complete at your earliest convenience, so we know how you feel in returning to in person meetings and what precautions you see that are needed to be comfortable to resume our lunch meetings in person. While there is a great AV set up with the Bellingham Rotary Club to allow for a great hybrid experience, we still need to ensure that if we move forward with in-person meetings we need to ensure members are comfortable in attending. We also need to be able to have enough attendance to meet the required minimum of 20 people for in-person meetings with the Four Points by Sheraton or the Club will be paying to meet the differential amount. We hope the Board will have a decision on how we proceed next week and will inform you.

Your input as to what you are comfortable with in this current environment is very critical for the board to hear. If you have not yet completed the survey, we ask that you please take 2 minutes to complete this survey so we can move forward with the club membership’s interests clearly in mind. Please check you email inbox, or contact President Lance if you need the survey link. Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts!

Rotary Mentors needed for WCC’s Bachelors of Business program

Given the success of our mentorship program with Western students, we are now pursuing a mentorship program with WCC students. WCC has a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, and we are looking for Rotarians interested in participating in a mentorship relationship with students in the BUS 460, Organizational Leadership, course next winter 2022. Mentors would be expected to meet with their mentee weekly for approximately 8 weeks (Jan 24^th-Marchc 14^th). More details about the nature of these meetings will be sorted out this Fall with the Business Faculty at WCC. When Mike and Tresha met with the faculty last spring, both stated how valuable their mentorship experiences were as undergraduates, and were excited to offer this to their students.

If you are interested in participating, please let Mike or Tresha know!

1st Annual Stan Dyer Day of Service: A Success!

Thank you to all the volunteers for attending the first annual Stan Dyer Day of Service! As you can see, the blackberries were fierce but the crew did great work to help remove many of them. Special thanks to Tony Freeland for organizing the event, bringing the tools, the refreshments, and the donuts. I think we made Stan proud.

July Notes

Update on In-Person Meetings

As our community emerges from the past 16 months of the pandemic Bellingham Bay Rotary Club is also preparing for re-emerging. As we have done since May 2020, BBRC will continue with Zoom meetings the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month through the end of August going from 12:30-1:30 PM. Beginning September 7th BBRC will resume our normal schedule of weekly in person meetings at the Four Points by Sheraton on Lakeway Drive. The Club is currently evaluating the technical details to allow for hybrid meetings can also be conducted with Zoom meeting capability along with in person. We are finalizing the details with the Four Points regarding our lunch meeting process and will be following up with specific details within the next few weeks. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Lance Calloway or Mike Bates.

June Notes

A message from outgoing president Mike (2020-21)

It is hard to believe that our Rotary year is coming to a close. I have to admit when I became your President, I expected a totally different Rotary year than we have experienced. When it became apparent that we were going to evolve into a zoom meeting only concept I said to myself “yikes” or words to that effect. So, what did we do as a membership: we adapted, we evolved and we accomplished more things than I thought was possible. Some of the things that we were able to accomplish as a club are:

In order to make the meetings as interesting as possible, we established a solid zoom meeting schedule adding things like the mystery guest, business spotlights, quotes, some good news, and the wheel of fun raffle.
We established the “care and compassion” component to our existing fellowship committee and engaged in member outreach to check on our members during Covid.
We improved our internal controls for the club.
As members we wrote cards to the residents of long-term care facilities that were on lockdown.
You volunteered to mentor students from Western Washington University and agreed to expand that program further to include the Whatcom Community College next year.
As members we supported the annual turkey drive, Toys for Tots and hurricane relief efforts for Copan Honduras.
Some of us volunteered at the large-scale vaccination site in order to get community members vaccinated.
We donated to Jeff Hills GoFundMe page and helped out with his meal train.
We established a Stan Dyer Day of Service program to honor a beloved member of the club
We supported the Stove Team project and purchased cookstoves for residences of Latin American countries.

We donated to our Rotaractors Clean Water Project on the Western’s Give Day.
We granted $15,000 to local not-for-profits to support their engagement within the community, and donated monies to Communities in Schools to purchase backpacks for Shuksan Middle School students.
We provided seven scholarships to Squalicum High School, Bellingham Technical College, and Whatcom Community College students
We supported our multiyear major project Docks for Kids, spearheaded by Eddie Hansen and Bill Geyer.
Our activities were twice recognized by articles in the Peace Arch Journal once in the Bellingham Alive Magazine, as well as in the Bellingham Herald
We gained three new members during the Rotary year and said our final goodbyes to Stan Dyer, Jeff Hill and Past President Jerry Simons.
Members Heather Flaherty and Ian McCurdy welcomed new family members into their homes.

There were personal accomplishments by members as well:

Heather Flaherty was named Young Professional of the Year for Whatcom County
Guy Occhiogrosso received the Young Professionals award Top 40 Under 40 for the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives.
Flo Simmons was named interim Chief of Police for the Bellingham Police Department
Christine Palmerton was named as the Area G Assistant Governor
Sue Sharp received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Bellingham Chamber of Commerce.

So, as it turns out, this wasn’t the year I thought it would be, it was much more. It has been my honor to be your President this year and I am grateful for your support.

Mike Bates

StoveTeam

Our program about StoveTeam was powerful. For those of you who missed the program, or want to share this information with others, here’s some information. StoveTeam facilitates the placement of low-some, fuel-efficient, safe cook stoves around the world:

Smoke from indoor cooking fires is a leading cause of death of children under age five. It kills more people than AIDS and malaria combined
The most dangerous activity a woman in the developing world can undertake is cooking for her family, and most of them have a baby on the front or a baby on the back. For that baby, it’s equivalent to smoking three packs of cigarettes per day.
4 million burns are reported each year, and many more go unreported. Children are especially vulnerable as most open fires are on or near the ground.

Ways to learn more:

Ways to get involved, plus inspiring stories from the field at stoveteam.org/next-steps

We are working on gathering club and district support to fund our efforts and would welcome any support from your club or advice on approaching your district.

Help for Copan, Honduras

As some of you heard from Bob Moles during our last Tuesday lunch meeting, Copan, Honduras was hit hard by Hurricane Eta.

Interact/Rotaract: I am happy to let you know that we have been able to expand our card writing program to an additional convalescent center. In addition to the Lynden facility we are now writing cards to the residents of the Alderwood Park Convalescent Center here in Bellingham. This is being accomplished by the members of both Squalicum High School Interact Club as well as the WWU Rotaract members. With their help we are able to reach an additional 40 people who are very grateful to receive some correspondence. Thank you Interact and thank you Rotaract.

Additionally, we are in the inception stages of establishing a mentorship program with WWU Rotaract students. In the current environment there will be opportunities to meet the students via zoom. I want to thank Steve White for taking the lead on this program. I’m sure we will all hear from him shortly about how we can plug into this important outreach.

3. Thanksgiving Turkeys for Food Bank- Donate now!

As promised here's information about how you can make a contribution to this year's BBRC Food Bank Turkey Drive.

Electronic payments can be made by using the following link: https://www.classy.org/campaign/Rotary-Turkeys-2020/c305180

If you prefer to mail a check, here's the information

Make check payable to Bellingham Food Bank
In check memo line put: Bellingham Bay Rotary (or BBR)
Mail check to: Mike Hammes, 4290 Pacific Highway, Bellingham WA 98226.

If you have any questions, reach out to Tony.

Also…. Did you know that based on the CARES act, you are able to take a $300 charitable giving deduction whether you itemize or take the standard deduction? Make sure to keep your receipt from your donation to the turkey drive! Of course, you should always consult your own tax accountant to verify specifics for your individual situation, but here’s a longer explanation:

The CARES Act, among other coronavirus relief efforts, has instituted a provision allowing people to deduct $300 for charitable contributions. If you are married and filing jointly, your deduction is still limited to $300. Taxpayers can take this universal deduction no matter whether they itemize or take the standard deduction on their taxes.

Deductions under the CARES Act must be in cash (including checks and credit card payments) and given to a 501(c)(3) public charity. Contributions to non-operating private foundations, support organizations and donor-advised funds don’t fall under this new deduction. Because the CARES Act deduction is a universal above-the-line deduction, you can list your contribution as an adjustment to income on your taxes.

In short, with the CARES Act, if you donate up to $300 in cash to a qualified organization, your adjusted gross income will be reduced up to $300.

4. Charitable Giving Committee-Call for members

Message on behalf of Mark Turner, Chair

The Charitable Giving Committee is responsible for soliciting applications and then awarding modest grants (up to $2500 but usually in the $1000 range) to worthy non-profit groups in Whatcom County. The committee does its work from now through February, with most of the work in January as we review applications and decide where to invest our money. This is one of our most important committees and your work on it has direct impact on our community. Mark Turner took over as chair of the committee this year and is seeking at least two new members to replace those who have stepped down or left the club. Let Mark know you're interested by email to mark@turnerphotographics.com.

5. District 5050 Blood Drive Campaign

A message on behalf of District Governor Carol Tichelman

We have decided to start a friendly and voluntary blood donation campaign in district 5050. We want to encourage our members, their friends and families who are able, to participate in this life-saving humanitarian act. One blood donation can potentially save up to three lives. If your members are unable to donate blood, they might be able to donate much needed plasma.

There will be District recognition given at the end of the Rotary year by Area, as that is the only way our friends in Washington can enroll. Bloodworks Northwest does not offer individual person or Club tracking for groups – but they have set up a tracking system for us by Area.

Here's how the donation process will work for U.S. Rotarians in District 5050:

1. Your members (and their family and friends!) will click on the blood drop link on the right side of the attached eFlyer when scheduling an appointment.

2. When they show up for the appointment, they will be asked if they are from a specific group and will reply Rotary.

3. Donation totals will be available each quarter. Your members can also encourage their friends and family to use the attached eFlyer to link their blood donation as part of your Club’s donation record.

6. Rotary International Foundation- Who is a Rotary Foundation Benefactor?

A Rotary Foundation Benefactor is a person who has notified The Rotary Foundation that they have made provisions in their final estate plans to Rotary for US$1,000 or more, or who has made an outright gift of US$1,000 or more to The Rotary Foundation’s Endowment. Benefactors receive a certificate and insignia to wear with a Rotary or Paul Harris Fellow pin. They are listed in the Benefactor Report and identified in the Club Recognition Summary.

Clubs with 100% member support of Rotary’s Endowment are eligible to request a Rotary’s Promise Club electronic certificate. Qualifying support may be a commitment for a future gift to The Rotary Foundation in an estate plan or an outright gift of $1,000 or more to the Endowment.

A US$1,000 gift to The Rotary Foundation creates a legacy of helping people live better lives around the world. Today there are over 100,000 Benefactors worldwide. Will you join them by making a gift of $1,000 to Rotary’s Endowment or by leaving a gift to Rotary in your estate?

Message from President Mike: Mentoring opportunity with WWU Rotaract & Interact Service Project

I want to share with you that the new Rotaract President, who is a student at Western Washington University, contacted me this week. She and her members are interested in the possibility of establishing a mentorship relationship with our club. I look forward to exploring that possibility with her and her members and what that might look like. I will keep you informed of any progress that is made. She also indicated that they would like to be made aware of any volunteer projects that we are involved in so that they could consider their engagement as well.

Unrelated, I spoke with the Interact Advisor from SQHS this week and she indicated that they are searching for socially distanced volunteer opportunities. I shared with her the fact that the club is writing cards to patients in assisted living facilities. She thought that sounded like a great idea and indicated her willingness to have her students write cards as well. As a result of these conversations I believe we will be able to expand our efforts into a second assisted living facility.

Rotary International Foundation: What is a Major Donor and Arch Klumph Society Member?

Major Donor – The Rotary Foundation recognizes individuals or couples whose combined giving reaches US$10,000, regardless of the gift designation. This recognition level can be achieved only through personal contributions. Major Donors may elect to receive a crystal recognition piece and pin(s) commemorating the gift at each new recognition level. Since Rotary’s Major Donor recognition began there have been over 30,000 Major Donors.

Arch Klumph Society – Donors whose cumulative gifts total US$250,000 or more are recognized as Arch Klumph Society members. Recognition includes an induction ceremony and your picture and biography in the Arch Klumph Society interactive gallery at the Rotary International headquarters in Evanston, Illinois, USA. Members also receive invitations to society events, along with membership pins and crystals that commemorate their giving level. Since the society’s creation in 2004, there have been over 700 Arch Klumph Society members.

Club Zoom meetings: Lessons from the first two month-same as last week

One positive outcome of our Tuesday Zoom meetings is that we are seeing a number of member that we haven’t had the pleasure of seeing at in-person meetings on a regular bases (Guy, Denise, Erik, Flo, Marlys). That has been a real treat!

We have also learned that managing meetings via Zoom can be tricky, so we are going to try some new protocols in September:

The Program must go on!: To respect everyone’s schedules (including our speakers), we will start the programs promptly at 1:00. This may mean that we skip the SOA portion of the meetings, and rely on ourselves to assess personal fines and pay up!
You’ve been muted!: To manage the meetings more effectively (e.g., distractions, turn-taking, time) Lesa will be putting everyone on mute.
Hands up!: As would be the case in our face-to-face meetings, please raise your hand if you’d like to speak. Either Mike or Lesa will call on you. Remember to unmute yourself at this time…remember, Lesa will have muted your mic 😉

If you have any additional suggestions for how we can improve our Tuesday Zoom lunches, please let President Mike know!

As the club continues to search for and be presented with volunteer opportunities we feel that it’s important to hear from you as to the types of community service you would like to perform. In our club survey 80% of you indicated that it was either important or very important to perform community service. If you have a project in mind or know of a unmet need in our community please reach out to Tony Freeland or myself. Also, for those of you who weren’t able to attend the orientation question/answer zoom meeting regarding food bank deliveries that information was recorded and is available upon request Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll send you the link

Food Bank Volunteer Opportunity-same as last week

President Mike recently contacted the Whatcom Volunteer Center to determine if there were unmet needs in the community that we in Rotary could assist with. Turns out that there is a great need for drivers to make deliveries for the Food Bank to high risk individuals and families who are unable to pick up food at any of the Food Banks.

Below you will find more information about this volunteer opportunity. Please consider making a difference in this way. The following information was provided by the Whatcom Volunteer Center:

During the COVID pandemic Whatcom Unified Command, the Bellingham Foodbank and the Volunteer Center of Whatcom County have been working to get food bank boxes delivered to high risk individuals and families throughout Whatcom County who are not able to pick up food at the regular food bank locations. Each Friday volunteer drivers currently deliver about 800 boxes to people in need.

Starting in September, we are going to need 30 volunteers each week to help out with deliveries and support on site. Deliveries start around 8am each Friday and usually go until about 12 or 1pm. This is a no-contact volunteer opportunity. We have lifted age restrictions for this project, so as long as you are low-risk health wise, we are grateful for your support! An online orientation for the foodbank delivery project was recorded. If you are interested in helping out, please go here: https://whatcomvolunteer.galaxydigital.com/need/detail/?need_id=521579

If you would like to get a head start on the paperwork process, we are pre-screening volunteers under the banner of our Volunteer Chore Program, because this is the most efficient way for us to process background checks at this time. Steps to pre-qualify:

Please fill out the attached paperwork and email it back to Leah DeAngelis <leah_deangelis@oppco.org>

Please also include a picture of your photo ID (driver’s license ideal) and if you would like to be available for driving positions, please also include a picture of your auto insurance ALL TOGETHER IN THE SAME EMAIL.

You may print and take a photo of the completed application and send it as an image. We will be running a Washington State Patrol background check and National Sex Offenders Database check for all volunteers and will notify you when you are cleared. If you are already a Chore volunteer, then there is no need to fill out the paperwork, simply let us know and you will be pre-qualified.

Thank you again for your willingness to help out during these challenging times!

Honoring Stan–Day of Service & Memorial Scholarship

At the August 13^th Board meeting, it was decided that we will honor Stan Dyer and his 50+ years of service to Rotary in the following ways:

1. Stan Dyer Annual Day of Service: When discussing ideas about honoring Stan with Carrie (his wife of 30+ years), Carrie felt an annual day of service would be a fitting tribute to Stan. According to Carrie, at one point Stan served on 30 Boards!! For those of us who had the honor of knowing Stan, that’s probably not surprising. The 1^st annual Stan Dyer Day of Service will hopefully be this spring (COVID-willing). Stay tuned for this day of service and fellowship. Right up Stan’s alley!!

2. Stan Dyer Memorial Scholarship: The Board also agreed to name one of our current 7 scholarships the Stan Dyer Memorial Scholarship, and awarded it to a student going into the health professions (either as a practitioner or administrator as Stan was).

Monday (8.17.20) Note

Last Week: Thank you to everyone who joined us last Tuesday (8.11.20) for our club meeting. The program by Chuck Prosper (CEO for Peace Health) was very informative, and, as usual, Mike had an exceptional mystery guest (Prosecuting Attorney for San Diego).

Rotary International Foundation- What is “Every Rotarian, Every Year” All About?

This initiative by the Rotary Foundation Board of Trustees encourages “every Rotarian, every year” to: Participate in a Foundation program that is making a difference in the world Contribute to the Foundation’s Annual Fund at a sustainable amount

The Rotary Foundation even has banners to celebrate clubs where every member contributes at least US$25 to the Annual Fund with a US$100 per capita during the Rotary year. Today nearly 1/3 of Rotarians participate in this initiative. In 2019/20 The Rotary Foundation was able to award over 1,300 global grants for large scale sustainable projects due to the generosity of these Rotarians. Think about what Rotary could accomplish in the world if all of our 1.2 million worldwide members each gave at least US$25 to our Foundation’s Annual Fund. If you are a part of the “Every Rotarian, Every Year” initiative – I personally thank you for your support of The Rotary Foundation and its work.
