The big day has arrived—we finally get to find out who the winners of the 2019/2020 Hair Freezing Contest are! The annual contest, which has been going on since 2011 at the Takhini Hot Pools in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada, drew in 288 contenders this year, but only 5 came out on top with the most creative frozen hairstyles.
There were 5 categories, including Best Male, Best Female, Best Group, Tim Hortons' Most Creative, and Nongshim Noodles People's Choice Award. Each winner got $2,000 Canadian dollars (that’s $1,411 USD), free soaks in the hot springs, as well as a 12-punch pass to the new facility to be opened in Fall 2020.

December 6. Flow. I’m going to try these 4 steps!
-- Vicki Horsfield, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
Museum dedicated to slavery. The story about the Museum dedicated to telling the story of slavery was very interesting and moving. I also like the video about the 4 factors of Flow: focus, freedom, feedback, 4% challenge. Although I am retired, I can still apply these factors to my daily activities.
-- Elizabeth Rhoads, Rotary Club of Wilmington, Delaware, District 7630
December 9. Great holiday greeting! I reposted it on RECCO's FB page and my personal one so others can meet some great Rotarians. The meeting was top-notch as usual and particularly enjoyed Food for Thought on FLOW. Shared it with family members.
-- Sharon Blaker, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370

We'd love to hear from you!
Thank you so much for your club's contribution in my name to PolioPlus. As I stated in the message I left on your website, PolioPlus has special meaning for me because I had the opportunity as part of an exchange with the Rotary Club of Lahore Mosang Pakistan to actually administer the polio vaccine to some Pakistani children. It was a very moving experience.
Best wishes to you and your club for a good year.
Yours in Rotary Service,
Elizabeth Rhoads, Rotary Club of Wilmington, Delaware

DEFINITION OF ROTARY
How do you describe the organization called "Rotary"? There are so many characteristics of a Rotary club as well as the activities of a million Rotarians.
There are the features of service, internationality, fellowship, classifications of each vocation, development of goodwill and world understanding, the emphasis of high ethical standards, concern for other people and many more descriptive qualities.
In 1976 the Rotary International Board of Directors was interested creating a concise definition of the fundamental aspects of Rotary. They turned to the three men who were then serving on Rotary's Public Relation Committee and requested that a one-sentence definition of Rotary be prepared. After numerous drafts, the committee presented this definition, which has been used ever since in various Rotary publications:
"Rotary is an organization of business and professional person united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world.”
Those 31 words are worth remembering when someone asks, "What is a Rotary club?"

THE OFFICIAL ROTARY FLAG
An official flag was formally adopted by Rotary International at the 1929 Convention in Dallas, Texas. The Rotary flag consists of a white field with the official wheel emblem emblazoned in gold in the center of the field The four depressed spaces on the rim of the Rotary wheel are colored royal blue. The words "Rotary" and "International' printed at the top and bottom depressions on the wheel rim are also gold. The shaft in the hub and the keyway of the wheel are white.
The first official Rotary flag reportedly was flown in Kansas City Missouri, in January 1915. In 1922 a small Rotary flag was carried over the South Pole by Admiral Richard Byrd, a member of the Winchester, Virginia Rotary Club. Four years later, the admiral carried a Rotary flag in his expedition to the North Pole.
Some Rotary clubs use the official Rotary flag as a banner at club meetings. In these instances, it is appropriate to print the words "Rotary Club" above the wheel symbol, and the name of the city, state, or nation below the emblem.
The Rotary flag is always prominently displayed at the World Headquarters as well as at all conventions and official events of Rotary International.
