Sometimes, some things happen that create a moment of illumination. It is interesting how some
ideas are a collective of many small grains of ideas and information all happening at a similar
time. On January 8, 2011, there was a tragedy in Tucson, Arizona. It changed the whole emphasis
of this program for January 17th. Many of our fellow eClub members live in District 5510 and
have good friends in Tucson. What this program is about is not to analyze the causes or political
implications of this event but to explore the human (Rotarian) reaction to reach out to those
others who felt the pain of the tragedy. It is an ‘illumination’ for some, a moment in time when
things seem clearer in the heart and the mind. At this time, a caring person reaches out (although
as our friend Gerry in France said, “(we are) a grain of earth”). As was pointed out to Gerry, a
grain of earth can tip a whole sack of grains, when it is placed at the right moment. This program
is about Rotarians’ illuminations and how grains of earth (ideas and feelings from many sources)
can create something more than themselves.

If anyone reads the many excellent articles
in the Rotary International magazine, he or she might be struck
with the need for new individuals (young individuals) coming into
Rotary and giving it new energy, new ideas. The challenge is that
Rotarians are aging (and some are dropping out of their Rotary
Clubs) and the replacement of new, younger members is not
happening fast enough to make up for those dropping out.

As you start your first week of 2011 you probably have some tasks left undone, some resolutions and plans to execute, and generally the sense that an extra month of Holiday would have been OK by you.
Either way, enjoy some light reading about a few New Years celebrations from around the world. We're glad to see you back and looking forward to the second half of this Rotary year!
