From the Viddam Family

"Husband, father, uncle, brother, friend, businessman and philanthropist, Madan Mohan R. Viddam touched the lives of hundreds of people. Although we are saddened of his passing on January 02, 2021 from COVID-19, his spirit is alive through our shared memories.

He is survived by his wife, Geeta Viddam, and daughters Megana Veeranki & Anjana Viddam.

Funeral services were held on Wednesday, January 06, 2021 between 11am to 1pm EST (9:30pm - 11pm India Time). Due to COVID-19 restrictions and for the safety of everyone, there was no in-person attendance except for immediate family, however, the video is available to view. The eulogies in English begin at 52:50 in the video. Link to view the video: https://pixelrainbowphotog.wixsite.com/mohanviddam

Those who were lucky to have met him know how incredibly passionate, kind, and giving he was throughout his lifetime. Therefore, to commemorate his memory we have set up a donation link to the “Friends of the Homeless” shelter where he cooked and served meals every month for over 15 years. Link to donate: http://gf.me/u/zfgrkt

Lastly, we are awed by the sheer number of people who admired and loved our father dearly and have reached out to us in support. We wish to hear your personal stories and memories to preserve the legacy of our father and his accomplishments throughout his life. If you would like to share a video or letter, please email anjana.viddam@gmail.com or text/WhatsApp to (614)-634-2962 with your name and relationship to Madan Mohan.

Thank you shoppers! The club surpassed its goal and raised $3,550 for our adopted families this year. The shopping trip was successful and all families are getting everything they asked for.

District Veterans Committee: Thank you to Dwight Seeley and Dave Williamson for their work in establishing the new District veterans' committee, and their leadership on the committee going forward.

Tom McGloshen highlighted an article about Barrow, Alaska, provided some insight from his time spent there, and shared the message that across locations and cultures, we are all more alike than we are different.

Today's Presentation:

Jensen Hykes is a local representative for Boy Scouts of America. Jensen is a product of the Girl Scouts program, having earned her Gold Award. From a scouting family in Northern Ohio, she went on to earn a Bachelor's Degree at Kent State University and now serves as Senior District Executive for Boy Scouts of America.

Dublin is home to 12 Cub Scout packs (grades K-5) and 6 Boy Scouts of America troops (grades 6-12), including one troop of girls. Girls were admitted to Boy Scouts of America beginning in 2019.

Local scouts have met the challenges of 2020 by hosting socially distant and virtual meetings. Programs such as the merit badge and camps were also done virtually. BSA has focused on mental health awareness this year, including leader training. The scouts have shown that they are more committed than ever to community service during these difficult times.

The future of scouting depends on the support of the community. You can help by volunteering as an adult leader, and financial contributions are always needed. Reach out to Jensen at Jensen.Hykes@scouting,org, or visit www.skcscouts.org/donate.

Thanks to Jensen for a great presentation. View the recording here

Today's Presentation:

Joe Yersavich is the Manager of your Dublin Branch of Columbus Metropolitan Library and a proud member of the Dublin AM Rotary. Joe has worked for Columbus Metropolitan Library for over 25 years.

The library faces many challenges keeping patrons and staff safe while sustaining core services, including story-time, homework help, public access to computers, job search assistance, reference and research, and access to collections.

The library met those challenges with solutions focused on health (masks, social distancing, health checks), enhancing access to staff (screen sharing and Zoom) and resources online, quarantine protocols for loaned physical materials (96 hours), and curbside delivery for physical materials.

A presentation wouldn't be complete without a Top Ten List - see the full list and presentation here. One key takeaway: If you are not already a member, you can apply for a library card online here. You get the card at home and use it at home to gain access to an extensive collection of physical and e-materials, including books, magazines, databases, and audiobooks.

Thanks to Joe for an engaging presentation and his work in service to an organization that is such a vital part of the community.

Mr. Close has been a State of Ohio, Common Pleas Judge, State of Ohio Appellate, and is currently the Managing Partner Isaac, Wiles, Burkholder, and Teeter, LLC.

Mr. Close will present the turmoil of the 60's, the unity of 911, and the repeat of the 60's in 2020.

Commander Kirk Lippold, USN (Retired), was the Commanding Officer of the USS Cole when it came under a suicide terrorist attack by al Qaeda in the port of Aden, Yemen. This event is widely recognized as one of the most brazen acts of terrorism by al Qaeda prior to September 11, 2001.

Commander Kirk Lippold is a graduate of the US Naval Academy and received his commission in the Navy in 1981. He served on several ships, including a tank landing ship and guided missile cruisers and destroyers . He attended the Navy Postgraduate School where he received a Master of Science in Systems Engineering and a 1994 graduate of the United States Army Command and General Staff College.

Commander Lippold will present his synopsis: In the past six months, our nation has been challenged in ways that were never expected. Nine months before 9/11, USS Cole pulled into Aden, Yemen, expecting a normal brief stop to refuel the ship. Similarly, almost a year later, the nation was thrust into a war against an enemy that we knew about but were unprepared to act against. The War on Terror had begun.

We heard thought-provoking analysis and comments this morning about the past, the present and the similarities of current challenges. Please watch the recorded session for a very good meeting.

Mike has been our Mayor, a pilot in Viet Nam, a judge, a president of our Rotary Club and a welcome speaker on several occasions.

His talk compared the events of 1965 in the Watts riots, 1967 the Detroit burning of over 4300 buildings, the 1968 Chicago violence during the Democratic Convention and the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy.

Mike spoke of the gentlemen that we valued and exchange of ideas and opinions we once had.

Mike spoke of the hope we might still have, that we can all remember and return to the feelings of unity and cause we felt on 9/11.

Mike spoke if the goodness still around us and the humanity we share as the source for that hope.

Commander Lippold shared the day the USS Cole was attacked and the events that unfolded and were discovered about the terrorists that caused those 17 deaths and continued to plan further damage to the US.

Commander Lippold also shared the idea of State Sponsored Terrorism. Kirk also shared his duties in Washington and his experiences on 9/11 when the Pentagon was attacked as he headed there for a meeting. I imagine Kirk’s book is very interesting for further analysis.

Stacy’s talk centered around these themes of motivation:

Strong Inner Core

See her poem here and a few favorite quotes and bible passages too:

Perseverance

By Stacy James

May 16, 2003

Perseverance means keeping on

When your muscles hurt and the road is long;

Perseverance means pushing alone

When the stadium's bare and your friends are at home;

Perseverance means trying again

For the ump-teenth time to fulfill your dream;

Perseverance means keeping the faith

When you don't understand, and your life isn't great;

Perseverance means trusting in God

When your heart is broken, and your loved one is gone;

Perseverance means enduring pain

And building strength of heart and brain;

Perseverance means day by day,

Moment by moment, walking by faith;

On the road of life, we keep pressing on;

Perseverance means internally strong -

No matter how hard, no matter how tough;

Perseverance means never giving up!

Perseverance: The number one element of success.

"You need to persevere, so that when you have done the will of God,

you will receive what He has promised." - Hebrews 10:36

"Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. . ."- Hebrews 12:1

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. And perseverance must finish its work so you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.” James 1-2-4

“Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Romans 12:11-12

“Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourself fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.” 1 Corinthians 15:58

“Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.”

1 Corinthians 16:13

“I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With Him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” Psalm 16:8

“Truly He is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will not be shaken.”

Psalm 62:6

Covid-19 Update Battelle’s decontamination efforts – Jon Coyle

Covid-19 Update Battelle’s decontamination efforts – Jon Coyle

Jon Coyle, son of Ramona and Barry Coyle and past Rotary scholarship winner spoke on his recent experiences rolling out Critical Care Contamination for Battelle. His efforts allowed health care works the ability to have clean and safe masks during the Covid-19 pandemic. Some of the key insights and experiences he shared with the group:

He participated in setting up the decontamination systems in Washington, NY and Boston
In total Battelle has 60 systems ready to deploy, with 39 currently in operation
The technology was created back in 2015-2016 from a study Battelle conducted with the FDA
Over 1M+ masks have gone through the decontamination process and have been able to reused safely

A special thanks to Jon for his efforts in keeping our front-line health workers safe.
