Rushton Hurley is a high school teacher of Japanese language, the executive director of the educational nonprofit NextVista.org, a trainer and speaker, and the one in charge of programs for RECSWUSA for 2009-2010. Rushton joined Rotary in 2004 when he became a member of the San Antonio Downtown Rotary Club of San Antonio, Texas. Everything is bigger in Texas, and that club was at the time (and may still be) the world's largest, then having approximately 750 members. In 2005, when Rushton and his wife Tabitha moved to California, he moved his membership to the Rotary Club of Santa Clara, a fine club with a membership of somewhat fewer than 750. On the occasions he found himself making up missed meetings, he often chose the convenience and interesting environment of the Rotary eClub of the Southwest USA, and when his work schedule changed in 2008, he joined RECSWUSA. Today's program is about the philosophy and mechanics of Rotary programs, with special attention to how RECSWUSA helps spread the insights and stories that inspire Rotarians weekly around the world.

This year's theme is "The Future of Rotary is in Your Hands". Nowhere is this more true than in our eClub, with the council on Legislation coming up this year. As you can see with our induction of Tim West this week, we will be trying new things this year. Experimenting with new tools and new processes that expand our ability to grow and manage our eClub effectively, to serve more people on more places around the globe, and to bring our Club together in new ways for Fellowship. One of our first experiments is a new way of doing board meetings. We have a 60-to-90-minute Skype call the first Friday of every month, followed by almost three days of discussion in the Board Forum, ending at midnight Arizona time on Sunday night. We are hoping that our compressed meeting time will engage all the board members on a regular basis. As PP Judy Taunt said during the Installation, this is a special year in the growth of our eClub. It is a time of invention, or creating new ideas, of tremendous growth, of expanded opportunities for service, and new ways of fellowship. It's really up to each of us to participate fully in this new time for the eClub.

This week's program should serve as a fond reminder for those who were there, a chance to share in what was missed for those who were not, and an opportunity to see that eClub is not always 'virtual' for those who are curious. It was, by all accounts, another good time, with visitors, virtual participants, awards, and lots of laughs. Check out Jono's photos from the event! Please enjoy this last program of 2008-2009. Members and guests alike - please click on the donate button and leave a few dollars. And please leave your comments. They are always appreciated. Have a great week and a wonderful year to come.

Last week's program suggested blogging might be worth a few minutes of your time. To keep things on an even keel, this week's program raises the question 'how much time on the Internet is too much, and should I be concerned?' There is a great overview from the Center for the Digital Future and some other links and facts. I can assure you it will take you less time to take it in than it took to compile, so sit back and find out if you or someone you know needs this information. Please don't get bogged down in the CDF report. Pick up a few facts and keep moving. I like the bit about who IS NOT on the Internet. Interesting. Anyway, have a great Rotary week, and eClub members and visitors alike, don't be intimidated by the Donate button found on the side of nearly every page. Thanks!

Blogging. Some people can't stop, and others can't get started. Do you know where the word came from? Web Log. Weblog. Blog. Personally, I'm not crazy about the name, but it is here to stay. We even have a blogosphere. So, with that said, this week's program is designed to familiarize you with a few tips on how to get going. You might already blog. If so, add on here with some tips of your own in the forum. Email us, link to your blog, share somehow! If you don't already have your own little literary space on the Internet, hopefully you'll start one soon, or at the very least, understand better why others maintain a blog of their own. Have a great week!
