We accompanied Rotarians from our district and two Rotaract to visit Kumiai Indian village and share a belated Christmas, and discussed our district project to build a water distribution system. We had our president’s advance where our presidents and district leadership meet to share the success and to work on our challenges. The best thing came out of that is that our stronger clubs will MENTOR the clubs with challenges to in- crease their membership. We received a guest from district 2980 which we declared as a sister district. Vasu is the first governor of the newest district in the world. We also declared him as an honorary member of our club and they spent nine days with us.

"Cross Egypt Challenge" Dear Rotarian friends around the world,

The Rotary Club of Cosmopolitan - District 2451 – Egypt is happy to invite you and your prestigious and respectful club to learn more about and share our Rotary organized initiative, "Cross Egypt Challenge" that aims to promote tourism to Egypt and world understanding.

Cross Egypt Challenge is a series of international cross-country motorcycle and scooter rallies conducted throughout one of the most mysterious and fascinating countries of the world, Egypt. Participation is not only open to professional athletes and riders, but also open to average riders and their accompanying spouses or friends from around the globe.

The series started in 2011 and the first season was a 9 days rally from the shores of the in the North of Egypt to the temple of , on the southern borders of Egypt for a total distance of over 1700 km. Both the following seasons witnessed different routes through the Vally, Egyptian Eastern and Western deserts where the riders enjoyed riding between the most exotic oases of the . They also had participants from over 28 different countries many of which were Rotarians and Rotaract.

Both the 2013 and 2014 season witnessed what we believe was the first ever arranged “Sahara Rotary Meet- ings” where riding Rotarians along with Rotaract from our organizing team from the 4 corners of the globe conducted an official Rotary meeting in the Egyptian Western Desert – please view attached image -, a practice that we will happily repeat and continue in each future season.

The 2015 and the fifth anniversary season of Cross Egypt Challenge will start on October 23, 2015 and will last for 9 days. This year, the challenge will include a fascinating and challenging route of 2,725 km that will begin from the Mediterranean's largest coastal city, Alexandria then pass through the Egyptian capital - - en route to the 's resort Sokhna before going South to visit the amazing resort cities of Sahl Hashish and on the Red Sea shore. The challenge will then cross the Egyptian Eastern Desert to reach the Nile valley and visit the ancient city of , the world's largest open air museum, and the capital of Ancient Egypt where the participants will spend two days in celebration for the rally's 5th anniversary.

From Luxor the riders will head North west to explore some of the most fascinating oasis of the Egyptian Saha- ra (desert). A total number of 3 oases will be explored on route before the final leg of the 2015 season of Cross Egypt Challenge takes place between Bahareya Oasis and Cairo to end the new season under the Great Pyra- mids of Giza.

Cross Egypt Challenge provides a very rewarding and challenging experience for participants from around the globe as it combines the best of adventure travels and extreme sports. The 2015 season will mark the fifth an- niversary of our initiative, and a very special season with lots of celebrations is planned ahead.

I invite you, your club and your members to support our initiative by: 1. Register for the rally, and ride or join one of your fellow riders in our chase vans this November in Egypt, and enjoy a once in a life-time experience (a motorcycle and scooter rental option is available for international participants). 2. Share the news about Cross Egypt Challenge with your fellow members and invite interested Rotarians to ride in this season’s rally. 3. Spread the news out to your local community and local press to promote this Rotary initiatives, and the image of Rotary worldwide.

GENERATIONSGENERATIONS LEADINGLEADING OTHEROTHER GENERATIONGENERATION INTERACTINTERACT andand PRYDEPRYDE

At a recent Interact Meeting held in Beaumont the topic of discussion centered around PRYDE. Specifically, the Interact Club wanted to know why they couldn't send all of the 7th graders that had expressed interest to the Camp. Many in the club had had the opportunity to experience PRYDE first hand and knew how it has changed each of their lives. They had fond memories of the camp facility, the tribal elders, the guides, the speakers and the team building activities, oh, and especially the food. The Interact Advisor, Bruce Murrill explained that the Beaumont/Cherry Valley Rotary club had allocated funds to send 2 girls and 2 boys to camp at a cost of $240 each. The Interact meeting progressed as normal until later that evening, a group of Juniors and Seniors wanted to re- visit the discussion about PRYDE. They felt strongly that each kid should be able to go to camp and, if money was an issue, they had a solution. They proposed that the Interact Club help fund and send additional kids to the camp. Before long, a motion was made, and then seconded, and then put to a vote. Not one person said no, the end result is that they have allocated funds to send an additional 5 kids to camp. The Interact club of Beaumont/Cherry Valley is comprised of about 60 High School and Middle School Students this year. They have had as many as 100 in attendance at their local meeting place which takes place at Rotarian Bruce Murrill's home. Attendance is rewarded with a meal and then meetings are centered around projects that help people in the local and international community. According to Murrill, these kids work hard for their money, they are always in the community assisting in a variety of ways, Murrill said that the Interact club consistently gives without any complaint. Recent projects have included Winter Wish, Senior Thanksgiving Day Din- ner, Galilee Project, Spirit Run, Literacy Fair, Recycle Day, and the Cherry Festival Parade. Submitted by Robin L.

The Loretta's lived in Brazil for 8 years, are fluent in Portuguese and have many friends in the São Paulo region. “It’s one of our adopted countries,” said Jen- nifer, who fondly recalled raising 2 of their 3 sons in Brazil and said she’d do it all over in a “Brazilian samba minute!” DG Shab and First Lady Bricia, along with DGN Bob saw to provisions for a tasty cookout, which allowed the 35 at- tendees to chat about their forthcoming trip during a break from Ricardo’s ori- entation. In addition to information on basic logistics for traveling to and within Brazil, Ricardo and Jennifer spoke about the people, the culture, the food, song and dance. It was obvious to all why they are excited about returning to their old stomping grounds, as the tenor of the orientation party was positive and upbeat.

The 4th- and 5th-grade students who are members of EarlyAct at Grandview Elementary School spent one of their lunchtimes at the beginning of the month creating holiday cards for the residents of the long-term care unit at Mountains Community Hospital.

EarlyAct is the Rotary-sponsored community service club for elementary school children. Mountain Sunrise Rotary supports the Grandview Elementary EarlyAct and the Crestline-Lake Gregory Club has an EarlyAct club at Valley of Enchantment.

Advisor Ariana Kimes had brought old Christmas cards as well as blank ones, stick-on snowflakes, markers and glitter for the students to use for their creations. But before they set to work, President Laura opened the meeting, Vice President Cruz led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance and the stu- dents recited the Rotary 4-Way Test.

The students delivered the cards to the residents on a recent Saturday.
