Dear friends, yesterday
November 5 we wanted to celebrate the delivery of the new "charter" to the baby club, the 28th of Sardinia, seat-Marghine, Central Sardinia.
Rotary grows in Sardinia and new club ... are created to monitor the area more and play more vigorously our Rotarian Action of "SERVICE". To sum up this day I am a reflection of obligation:
ROTARY OF THE FUTURE WILL BE 'MORE AND MORE' "ROSE".
what comes from my experience reflection? So that's what.
Before the Governor Roberto Scambelluri deliver the new "charter" last born of the Sardinian club, President Joseph Meloni has proudly stated that his club has a special and significant first: to have, in the District, the majority of members are female.
The news is such that only a few years ago would turn up their noses at quite a few long-time Rotarian. The club, in fact, born with a staff of 24 members including 15 women, compared with 9 men, with a percentage to 60% for women. It is not over. The Board has as many as 9 new proposals being considered for admission including 5 women and 4 men.
What about close friends? These are figures that leave many clubs a bit '... stucco! What appears to
prehistoric, that distant 1977, when the club of Duarte, California, admitted as members and for some women this was expelled from the Rotary International!
The original rule of Rotary, in fact, was until the 70s of last century as follows: "... can become a member of the Rotary Club for men only, meaning male human beings ...."
The spark started from Duarte quickly became a huge fire after the decision of the Supreme Court changed the rule so Rotarian: "... can become members of a Rotary Club in human beings of both sexes, even female ... " .

Times change!
our founder Paul Harris wrote in his memoirs "My Road to Rotary" that the world "changed" all the time and that the Rotary had necessarily "change" with it if he wanted to maintain the strength of his ideas and its purposes. You could add even more.
Rotary believe that it can not and should not wait for others to "do" change. Rotary from its important and qualified observatory is able to monitor the needs of most others, his many professionals and entrepreneurs, all number one in their field, can and should be the true "creative dynamo" melting pot able to put together the appropriate proposals for improvement, in every field, in every need of social life.
task of our association is that of "giving voice" to those who do not have the strength or the ability to do so to move the indifference to solicit public opinion, raising awareness and addressing those who are called in the territory and the government in the world Peoples. This
our job as Rotarians is not, as many believe, that of simple charity but that, instead of finding real solutions to eradicate hunger, poverty, lack of education, water and health. As we did for the eradication of polio and of which we are always proud to go. In all
that women can be, really, our best weapon, that weapon which for too long we have left out!
I have carefully read the latest issue of Rotary, the No. 10 of October, just arrived. The interesting article by Alfonso Forte "Women in Rotary, I will bring a new light" allowed me to update me on a topic of extreme importance to me: the presence of women in our association. The article reported the development and growth of this important presence with a number of statistical data. Here are some very attractive rates.
In June 2001, women were only present in 51.8% of the club, while in 2010 79.9% of the club had admitted women. If the club in June 2001 there was only 8, 7% of women, in 2010 this percentage increased to 16.3%, nearly doubling its presence. Analyzing the situation in the various Italian clubs I have seen that our district compared to others, we defended well. If more women in absolute terms may be found in District 2110 (535 women out of a total of 4,863, with a share of 11%), in percentage terms, the highest in our district is that of a total of 4,131 members has 507 members, 12.2%. Even in the levels of responsibility
our District was the pilot. In Italy the first woman president was elected to the club of Cerveteri-Ladispoli year 1993/94.
Worldwide, however, the first female District Governor began the year 1995/96: 8 of them were elected, all in the USA.
In Italy the first governor was elected in District 2040 in the year 2003/04: Pharaoh was the Rotary Alessandra Lanza.
In our district is ripe time: in the next Rotary year we will have the first Governor: Daniela Tranquilli Franceschetti, who are already trained to office. I am personally convinced that Daniel, which I do from now on my best wishes, will, with his undoubted ability, further prestige to our district.
My deep conviction, since the days when I fought to bring the first women in my club Oristano, has always been that "women could make a positive contribution to the Rotary, different from ours."
fully agree with the statement made by Alfonso Forte, who made the article that appeared in "Rotary" and that I mentioned above. Forte writes: "... The woman with her natural vocation to do good, with her innate maternal instinct, with its willingness to provide care to those suffering, should - in the years to come - take a greater share of access, ie one that competes in the files of the Association, for the realization of the best tasks are the foundation of the same inalienable Rotary .... "
This, dear friends, the road taken by the new club seat-Marghine Centre Sardinia "is certainly the right one!
But we come to the wonderful news yesterday. In the splendid Hotel
agritourism "On Bajon" Abbasanta, wanted to celebrate the delivery of the new Charter, by the Governor Scambelluri the baby club seat-Marghine Central Sardinia, most of the Presidents of the Sardinian club: 25 the 28 clubs present. Our club was there with the President, Dr Antonio Sulis, accompanied his wife Julia. Guests of honor the PDG Pirisi Filippo and Roberto Ivaldi. There were also Assistant Instructors Sardinia Pier Giorgio and Salvatore Poddighe Fozzi, Assistant to the club than me. Several authorities invited: the Prefects of Oristano and Nuoro Lisi and Russian, with their kind sir, Quaestors of Oristano and Nuoro Pinto and D'Angelo with the gentlemen, the President of the Province of Oristano De Seenen with the nice lady, Mayors of the Territory, and numerous other civil and military authorities. After
honor the flags with the hymns of ritual began the report of the President pointed out that Meloni, after thanking all those present of the presence, the importance of occurrence and the fact that the center of Sardinia, with the birth of the new club, could now count on a new "observatory" Rotary, able to make its contribution in an area that does not go through what were very happy both economical and occupational . He said, moreover, the firm will of all the new company to take care of the area, noting that the strong presence of women in the club would be extremely more helpful. He proudly claimed to be proud that his club is in the District, the one with the highest percentage of female members, 60% of the shareholder.
The Governor had words of praise and encouragement, pointing out the role of the Rotary in the Company and in the Territory, where plays an irreplaceable source of stimulation and connection with public institutions.
After the warm friendly exchange pennants with the Presidents and the Authority has highlighted the friendliness and willingness of all to help "the new club to build its way, leading the way together.
Greetings, dear friends and friends: welcome! With you, strengthening our presence Rotary, better address the problems of our island. Rotary good to you all!
