EXAMPLES ARE THE MEXICAN HUMMINGBIRD IS STAYING IN THE STATES AND NOT RETURNING TO MEXICO IN THE WINTER, CORAL BLEACHING (CORAL ABSENT OF ALGAE ITS FOOD SUPPLY) HAS OCCURED IN MALDIVES, WESTERN AUSTRALIA, OKINAWA AND PALAU, 16% OF LIVING CORALS WERE WIPED OFF REEFS IN 1998, TOUCAN AND OTHER LOWLAND TROPICAL BIRDS HAVE MOVED UPHILL (UPWARD SHIFT) THREATENING HIGH ELEVATION BIRDS, EXTINCTION OF THE GOLDEN TOAD IN COSTA RICO, AND SHIFT IN ALSKAN TUNDRA CARBON BALANCE FROM A COLLECTOR OF CARBON TO A SOURCE OF CARBON. WHEN ASKED WHAT AS INDIVIDUALS WE CAN DO, SHE SAID DRIVE MORE EFFICENT CARS AND REDUCE LOAD ON POWER PLANTS BY USING SOLAR PANELS AND LESS ELECTRICITY. SHE IS WRITING A BOOK THAT THE GENERAL PUBLIC CAN READ EASILY AND WILL RETURN TO TEACHING IN THE FALL.

LOOT BOOT: SUZANNE MADELY HEARD FROM CAROLYN BEYNON THAT FRANK IS HOME. BEN FORD MENTIONED THAT FRANK SOUNDS GOOD WHEN HE SPOKE TO HIM. CAMILLE MILLER IS HAVING A COMPANY RETREAT TODAY.
SPECIAL THANKS TO FRED WHITE FOR TAKING PICTURES AT THE BLANTON MUSEUM.
CLUB ASSEMBLY: GENE DAVENPORT SHARED HOW MUCH OTHER ROTARIANS ENJOYED BEING AT THE DINNER THAT OUR CLUB HOSTED AND THE PROCLAMATIONS RECEIVED FROM THE HOUSE AND SENATE. FIRST HE GAVE A HISTORY OF GIVING TO THE FOUNDATION. AT ONE TIME MEMBERS WERE ENCOURAGED TO OBTAIN THEIR PAUL HARRIS, $1000 ACCUMULATED DONATIONS. ROTARY INTERNATIONAL REALIZED THAT AFTER FULFILLING THAT GOAL, MEMBERS DWINDLED IN GIVING, THEREFORE RI CHANGED ITS EMPHASIS AND WENT TO A CONSTANT GIVING IN SMALLER AMOUNTS. EVERY ROTARIAN GIVING EVERY YEAR, $100 PER MEMBER PER YEAR, WOULD CREATE SUSTAINING MEMBERS. A SUSTAINING CLUB WOULD BE ONE IN WHICH EVERY MEMBER HAD GIVEN SOME AMOUNT (OR THE CLUB GAVE MONEY IN THEIR NAME) AND THE AVERAGE WAS $100 PER MEMBER. THE DONATED MONEY GOES INTO THE APF ACCOUNT AND IS USED FOR WORLD PEACE AND UNDERSTANDING. THE MONEY IS KEPT BY RI FOR THREE YEARS. DURING THAT TIME, THE INTEREST IS USED TO RUN THE PROGRAM. AFTER THE THREE YEARS HALF THE MONEY IS SENT BACK TO THE DISTRICT TO BE DISTRIBUTED BY THE DISTRICT GOVERNOR AND HALF IS KEPT BY RI. THE MONEY CAN BE USED FOR AMBASSADORIAL SCHOLARS, GROUP STUDIES, AND DISTRICT ASSISTANT GRANTS THAT ARE REQUESTED BY INDIVIDUAL CLUBS. WHEN THE GOVERNOR IS DECIDING HOW THE DISTRICT FUNDS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO EACH CLUB, HE WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE SUSTAINING CLUB STATUS OF THE REQUESTING CLUB. EACH DOLLAR GIVEN BY A MEMBER EARNS HIM CREDIT TOWARD PAUL HARRIS($100 EQUALS 100 CREDITS). THE MEMBER CAN USE HIS CREDITS TOWARD HIS OWN PAUL HARRIS ($1000 EQUALS 1000 CREDITS) OR HE CAN DESIGNATE THAT THE CREDITS BE MOVED TO ANOTHER MEMBER TO HELP HIM GET PAUL HARRIS. EXAMPLE, DAVID HAS GIVEN $800 (800 CREDITS) TOWARD HIS PAUL HARRIS. HE NEEDS 200 MORE CREDITS TO MEET THE 1000 CREDIT REQUIREMENT. PHYLLIS HAS 500 CREDITS IN HER ACCOUNT (SHE HAS GIVE $500 TO APF). SHE CAN ASK TO HAVE 200 CREDITS MOVED TO DAVID'S ACCOUNT. NOW HE HAS ENOUGH CREDITS FOR HIS PAUL HARRIS. EACH MEMBER OWNS THEIR CREDITS AND CAN USE THEM FOR THEIR OWN PAUL HARRIS OR GIVE THEM TO SOMEONE ELSE. PAUL HARRIS IS SIMPLY A RECOGNITION OF GIVING. WHEN MEMBERS MEET THEIR PAUL HARRIS, RECOGNITION IS AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED BY RI AND A CERTIFICATE IS MAILED OUT.
MONEY THAT IS DESIGNATED FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE, SUCH AS POLIOPLUS, IS NOT PART OF THE APF ACCOUNT AND DOES NOT EARN PAUL HARRIS CREDIT. NOTE THAT THERE IS A PERMANENT ACCOUNT THAT RI ONLY USES THE INTEREST. THE FUND TRADITIONALLY BUILDS FROM ESTATE PLANS AND BEQUEST. THE INTEREST HELPS TO GUARANTEE THAT RI WILL BE VIABLE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF ROTARIANS.
GENE ANSWERED QUESTIONS. THE 100% STATUS MUST BE FULFILLED BY JUNE 30 FOR NEXT YEAR'S PROGRAMS. EACH PERSON WILL FILL OUT THEIR FORM AND ONE CHECK CAN BE SENT IN TO RI MAKING SURE TO CHECK THE APF BOX ON THE BOTTOM. EACH MEMBER'S PAUL HARRIS ACCOUNT NUMBER IS ON THE LABEL OF THEIR ROTARY MAGAZINE OR CAN EMAIL PHYLLIS SHARP. OUR DEEPEST THANKS GO TO GENE DAVENPORT FOR CLARIFYING THIS ISSUE.
