Welcome to the Rotary eClub of Silicon Valley!
Here’s a message from our Club President.
Welcome, everyone, to the Rotary eClub of Silicon Valley!
Can you believe it's February already? Yes, even though 2021 has just started, it seems that January just flew by and February just came outta nowhere.
This month we celebrate Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution Month in Rotary. Through our service projects, peace fellowships, and scholarships, Rotarians take action to address the underlying causes of conflict, including poverty, inequality, ethnic tension, lack of access to education, and unequal distribution of resources. We also have a long history of bridging cultures through participation in Youth Exchange programs – students learn understanding and appreciation of another culture and in doing so, they embrace the key to global citizenship, progress, and peace.
Our guest speaker this week is one of our own, Angelica Marotta, who will talk about cybersecurity in times of COVID-19.
As always, read, watch, enjoy, and be inspired!
Yours in Rotary service,
Raquel D’Garay-Juncal
President, Rotary eClub of Silicon Valley

Guests, we are happy to have you join us this week!
As we see it, our flexibility as an online, asynchronous club allows a special type of service to Rotarians around the world: we make it easier for anyone to strive for and maintain 100% attendance. That keeps you engaged with Rotary's events and ideas, and provides a moment of inspiration for devoting your creativity, talents, and resources to good causes.
You are certainly not required to pay anything in order to attend our meetings. However, if you would like to make a small contribution to our service efforts, you are welcome to do so in our secure Happy Dollars section down the page. This could be what you normally pay at your own club's meetings for lunch, for example. Any amount is welcome, but first and foremost, we're happy you've joined us, and hope you will share with others who we are and what we do to help inspire Service Above Self.
And don't forget to fill out our attendance form so you get an email you can pass on to your club's secretary!
The Four Way Test
The Four-Way Test is a nonpartisan and nonsectarian ethical guide for Rotarians to use for their personal and professional relationships.
Of the things we think, say or do
Is it the TRUTH?
Is it FAIR to all concerned?
Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
Weekly Funny with Shags.
We believe laughter is an important part of life, and we should all make time to laugh a little. This segment of our meeting is meant to tickle you just enough. These funnies are curated by member Steven "Shags" Shagrin !
At The Supermarket...
I had the rudest, slowest, and nastiest cashier today...
That’s the last time I use the self checkout lane!
Weekly Inspiration
Every week we start our meetings with a short video highlighting innovation, inspiration, entrepreneurship, or social change.
Sometimes a story can give us the determination to take a difficult experience and make it into something powerful. This video about paralyzed runner Hannah Gavios is one that all those trying to recover from the challenges of the COVID world might look to for inspiration.
World of Rotary
Every week we will focus on a particular story that tells of our organization and the work of Rotarians in the world.
Through a Rotarian's Lens
Sometimes a photo can capture an amazing moment. In this section Member Keith Marsh shares his incredible photography!
If you'd like to submit a photo for this section please contact Keith.
This photo was taken on my first trip to Cuba with Canadian Photographer Richard Martin. While in Trinidad on the southern Coast, I hired a taxi ('56 Chevy) to take me to a local beach at about 11 pm. It was too dark to accurately focus and compose the image, but I was able to capture the Milky Way with these four palapas. The other members of our photo group were so impressed, they asked me to return the following night to put on a workshop on night photography.
Learn Something New
This section is curated by members Shags Shagrin and aims to teach our members and guests something new, fun, and useful! If you have any ideas on a fun trick or skill you'd like to share please contact Shags.
One of Rotary's Stars!!
I've had the honor and delight to be with Past RI President Cliff Dochterman many times, the first of which was when I was at Ohio PETS in 1988 and he gave his famed talk on "If I Could be a Rotary Club President Again".
Since it was my first stint as a Club Prez, I took it to heart. Fast forward 19 years or so when I moved to CA and again found myself at a PETS (yup, I said yes -- for the last time -- perhaps?), and who was there with the talk "If I Could.." but dear Cliff.
When we came face to face there, he looked at me and my name tag and asked me how my prior Club secretary was doing!! He not only recalled my name, but my former Club and people he knew there!! Cliff has the distinction of addressing more Rotarians than any other person, but I think our own Mitty Chang has his eyes on that! In any event, here's a link to one of my favorite topics of Cliff's: "When Did Rotary Really Begin?" It's a bit long at 17+ minutes, but worth the time spent, for sure.
And there's an inadvertent oops at about 14:42 when he means to mention eradicate polio by inoculating all the children of the world, it comes out in a way you don't expect! (I think Cliff is now in an assisted living place in Moraga, and I'd love to visit but for Covid. Anyone know how he's doing?) Lastly, if you enjoyed this video, there's an almost 30-minute one featuring him at the Petaluma 90th Anniversary Club Dinner where you can hear his great way of thanking the MC and sharing some great humor at https://rotary7820.com/stories/past-ri-president-cliff-dochterman-speaks-at-a-club-charter-night

Happy Dollars: Do Good by Sharing Something Good
Each week we ask our members to share stories with the club and toss in a few dollars to support our efforts. The primary goal of this section is to provide a fun way of getting to know each fellow members and guests, while giving back to a good cause.
Happy dollars is an opportunity to share something positive that has happened in your life whether it is personal or business. Think of it as your opportunity to brag a little, but also put a little bit into a karma jar. The money donated through happy dollars is put to charitable use, and the message that you leave for happy dollars will be posted in our online meeting the following week for the entire week for folks to see! (Pending that it’s appropriate!)
Here are the happy dollars contributions from last week!
This section is usually updated on the early hours of Saturday, so contributions made over the weekend may not be listed here.
Rory Olsen made a $20 donation.
Received my first Covid 19 shot last week. I feel like a prisoner who was just pardoned. Please apply my gift to Polio Plus.

COVID-19 isn't the only virus we need to avoid. While attention and energy were being devoted to patient care, cybercriminals intensified their attacks. The result is that the effects caused by biological and computer viruses are overlapping, forcing individuals and organizations to find new ways to adjust to this unknown world.
