EDITOR’S NOTE A NOTE FROM YOUR EDITOR… In a world bursting at the seams with conflicts/ and violence that threaten the end of time, unprecedented natural disasters, hunger, poverty and a plethora of diseases, Rotary through it’s ideals of “Service to do good above self” has stepped up it’s work in local communities and international programs to “make a difference”. The Rotary Foundation, Rotary’s own Charity aptly personify the engine room that drives Rotary, and it’s vaulting ambitious march to fulfil it’s local and international obligations. While on Page 2 the Rotary International President Ian HS Riseley tells readers about the importance and work of the Rotary Foundation, District Foundation Chairman Tom Hunt’s parody of “what has Foundation ever done for us”, the excellent Work/article by Grahame and Myra Williams - joint Co-ordinators for Foundation Inbound Scholars (pp 9-10), together with the link to a directory of London Foundation Scholars, prepared by Adrian Faiers, Dulwich, Peckham and Crystal Palace Rotary Club...all help to reiterate and testify to the essential role of “The Rotary Foundation” in Rotary. On Page 20, “Rise Against Hunger” CEO, PDG and presently Rotary International Zone 33 Membership Co-ordinator, USA, with Eric and Irene Russell, Rotary Club of Warrington, D1285, spoke passionately at Conference about it’s packaging meal program, designed to deal with consequences of conflict and violence, which has left millions without homes, and hundreds of thousands of children severely malnourished. Not only has the District Governor Mike Hodge made good on his commitment to his Charity Dementia, by participating in “Memory Walk” London, and inviting fellow Barnet “Dementia Club UK” Founder Lisa Rutter to ‘talk Dementia at D1130 Conference, most clubs in the District now run ‘Memory Clinics’. Indeed it was a first, (and a pleasure) to have welcomed an RIBI President, Denis Spiller to D1130 Parliament (District Council’, to discuss his “Rotary 2” Project. The District Chartered a new Rotaract Club at Canary Wharf, which argurs well for the future of Rotary membership. ***COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASON TO ALL OUR READERS.

Most of what we do in our clubs our goal of raising $300 million. If you were part of that and our districts, on a weekly basis, we do without the achievement, you have been part of something active involvement of the Foundation. But our tremendous. Somewhere in the world, someplace you Foundation is invisible in our clubs in the same way the have probably never been, people you may never meet foundation of a building is invisible when you’re in it: Just will lead better lives because of you. Ultimately, it is our because you don’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not holding Foundation that lets us make good on our core beliefs: you up. that we can make a difference, that we have an obligation The Foundation that enabled Rotary to take on polio to do so, and that working together, as well and as is, in many ways, the foundation upon which our Rotary efficiently as we can, is the only way to effect real and service is built. For 100 years, since it came into lasting change. existence with a first donation of $26.50, the Foundation has supported and strengthened our service, enabled our ambitions, and allowed us to be the organization that we are. Because of the Foundation, Rotarians know that IAN H.S. RISELEY if we have the ambition and put in the work, very little is truly beyond us. It is an incredibly effective model that we have here in President, Rotary International Rotary, one that no other organization can match. We are completely local and completely global: We have #ServiceAboveSelf local skills, connections, and knowledge in over 35,000 #RotaryMakingaDifference clubs, in nearly every country of the world. We have a #PeopleOfAction deserved reputation for transparency, effectiveness, and #EndPolioNow good business practices, and because we are highly #WeAreThisClose skilled professionals as well as volunteers, we achieve a #TheRotaryFoundation level of efficiency that very few other organizations can approach. To put it simply, a dollar given to The Rotary Foundation has a great deal more muscle than a dollar given to most charities. If you want to spend a dollar on Doing Good in the World, you can’t do better than to spend it with the Foundation. That is not just me speaking out of pride; it is verifiably true and is reflected in our rankings by independent organizations. 2 MIKE HODGE DISTRICT GOVERNOR 2017 – 2018 UP AND ABOUT THE DISTRICT... First Family at Rotary Conference 2017 – Stratford Upon Avon District Governor Michael Hodge ’s first visit to Gants Hill Left: With past District Governor David Rotary Club on the 19 of September 2017 where he Palmer at The Rotary Club of enlightened the members and guests with his views and Barkingside stories about Rotary and shared his vision for the future. On behalf of Rotary Club of Gants Hill, District Governor Michael Hodge presented a Cheque of £1000.00 to District International Chairman Francis Uwaechi for his “Classroom in a Box” Project. Rotarian Francis Uwaechi entertained the meeting with songs related to Rotary. On behalf of Rotary Club of Gants Hill, District Governor Michael Hodge also presented a Cheque of £500.00 to Margaret from Leprosy Outreach project aimed at eradicating Leprosy in Nigeria. This is a project RC of Gants Hill has been sponsoring since last year; this was also one of the focal charities for Gants Hill’s annual Presidents Ball last year. From one Mike to the Other!

With apologies to Monty Python’s “Life of Brian”, I ask: What has the Rotary Foundation ever done for us? “Nothing!” I hear the cry go out. “Nothing ... apart, of course, from initiating and spearheading the eradication of Polio!” (Since 1985, Rotary’s contributions of over US$1.6 billion and invaluable hands- on service have helped reduce the annual number of new cases by 99.99 %!) OK! Apart from Polio Eradication, what has Foundation ever done for us? Nothing! ...apart, of course, from offering Clubs the opportunity to undertake significant international humanitarian projects through Foundation funding. (Since 1965, over 38,000 Grant projects have been carried out in over 200 countries) OK! Apart from Polio Eradication and Global Grants, what has Foundation ever done for us? Nothing! ...apart, of course, from sponsoring the largest international scholarship programme in the world. (Since 1947, over 43,000 Foundation Scholars from over 130 countries have participated) OK! Apart from Polio Eradication, Global Grants and the Ambassadorial Scholarship Programme, what has Foundation ever done for us? Nothing! ...apart, of course, from the Vocational Training Team – VTT for short (Formally Group Study Exchange) where non-Rotarians from different professions are given the opportunity to experience vocational, educational and cultural points of interest in another country.

    MARCH 2020 CIO LETTER Thomas FRIEDBERGER CEO and Co-CIO, Tikehau IM Europe : The Final Countdown Thousands of works have been published on Europe, its history, geography, economy and cultures. It would of course be impossible to summarise all the writings and reflections ever shared on the dynamics driving the Old Conti- nent. But, at a time when global growth now only counts very partially on Eu- rope’s contribution, when the centres of technological innovation and economic growth inevitably appear to be focused on the US and Asia, we nevertheless find it important to at least try to understand these dynamics. First of all, 1 because Europe is still, even today, the No. 1 trade zone in the world 1 . Second, The 28 EU Member States represented because in recent centuries, conflicts staged in Europe have often had world- 5% of the global trade wide repercussions. But also because it is probably the most difficult major of goods in 2018. Source : Eurostat economic block to grasp, which not only partially explains its weaknesses but also creates strong barriers to entry and large-scale opportunities for potential investors. Finally, because it is the geographic area in which Tikehau Capital predominantly invests at this point in its development, and it is thus important to establish a view of the main trends in the region, which remains to this day one of the only major alternatives to the Americas Accordingly, this quarter we decided to take a look at the dynamics of Europe, the continent that shaped the global economy in its image after dominating the world from the Renaissance to World War I, and whose decline since the end of World War II seems to be gathering pace in the 21st century with the emerging rivalry between the US and China for global economic and mone- tary dominance.

  • From Prog-Folk-Rock Legends the Strawbs on New “Best Of” Collection
    1 SING-ALONG TO “PART OF THE UNION” FROM PROG-FOLK-ROCK LEGENDS THE STRAWBS ON NEW “BEST OF” COLLECTION Once upon a time in the ‘70s, British folk music melded with British rock. From Jethro Tull, Renaissance and Genesis to Fairport Convention and the Strawbs--perhaps the most adventurous of them all--U.K. bands brought their roots to rock. The Best Of Strawbs edition of 20th Century Masters/The Millennium Collection (A&M/UME), released February 25, 2003, pays tribute to a prog-folk-rock outfit exemplified by once playing an electric dulcimer through a fuzzbox. Featuring 10 selections digitally remastered from the original master tapes, The Best Of Strawbs spans four of their nine A&M albums and includes their best-known recordings, “Part Of The Union” and “Lay Down.” In 1968, the Strawbs became A&M Records’ first U.K. signing. But it was not until their fifth album, 1972’s Grave New World, that the band, which earlier included the likes of Sandy Denny and Rick Wakeman, broke through in the U.S. With singer-guitarists Dave Cousins and Tony Hooper, keyboardist Blue Weaver, bassist John Ford and drummer Richard Hudson, Grave New World, produced by Bowie/T. Rex collaborator Tony Visconti, became their first U.S. charter and narrowly missed the British Top 10. The Best Of Strawbs culls the album’s “Benedictus,” the track with the aforementioned unique instrumentation. 1973’s Bursting At The Seams, the Strawbs’ first self- produced effort, saw the group move into more overtly rocking territory as co-founder Hooper was replaced by the more aggressive Dave Lambert.
