It’s hard to believe it’s November and we are entering the Holiday season. I have now made it to every Rotary Club in the District and the Rotaract Clubs in Lincoln and Wayne.
My District Rotary
Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) events are conducted around the world and participants can attend in any location to start, continue or complete the 3-part series.
Rotary International has updated materials! One of the web pages used during a recent Rotary Leadership Institute (thank you, Gretchen) is Membership (click here).
The Rotary District 5650 Board consists of 13 Members - some based on position, some selected by the District Governor and others elected by the Members of the Clubs.
2020-21 Club Officer Appointments are due by December 31, 2019. Update all Officer information on the local websites (ClubRunner) and it will "roll up" to Rotary International.
All US Rotary Club Officers recently received an email from Rotary International concerning the IRS annual filing requirement. See below for a copy of that mailing along with a link to frequently asked questions.
The 2019 Rotary Manual of Procedures is now available online or downloaded as a PDF (notification below).
The Rotary Foundation of Rotary International has received 12 consecutive 4-star ratings from Charity Navigator for demonstrating both strong financial health and commitment to accountability and transparency. Here is a link for more details of how The Rotary Foundation efficiently promotes world understanding, goodwill, and peace - click here.
Rotary International sends eBulletins focusing on various topics from End Polio Now to Young Leaders In Action. To manage the eBulletins you receive, view the "How To Guides" page of the District Website or click here.
The Rotary Foundation continually reviews their focus and programs and recently made changes in the Areas of Focus for projects.
Rotary District 5650 is here for you - your Clubs and Members. How can we help? Your District Committee Chairs are available to speak at Rotary Clubs or to meet with the Board or Club Committees.
The criteria for the 2019-20 Rotary Year has not changed - there are points for attendance at Rotary events, Project Completion, Membership Growth and support of The Rotary Foundation and Polio Plus.
District Governor 2019-20 Mick McKinley shared the District Goals during training events in the Spring. These goals align with the Mission and Strategic Plan of Rotary International and the focus of the Rotary Citation.
District Goals for 2019-20:
Help Rotary Help Your Club!
Knowing our current Rotary Membership helps us in the future. Using current demographics we can analyze and project the make up of our Club membership and therefore the state of Rotary International.
It is critical that we use the new logo. But the Rotary Brand is more than just the logo - it is in what we say and how we say it. Refer to these documents (click the document name to open) when creating flyers and messages about your Rotary club - Identity at a Glance and Voice and Visual Identity Guide.
Have you tried the ClubRunner App on your phone?
Access it using the same logon as on the District website. There is a section for your Club and a section for the District where you can find information about Clubs in the District and even search the members.
Clubs in Rotary District 5650 are asked to share information about events if those events are open to everyone (such as fundraisers) or will impact district leadership (such as District Governor). Event information can be posted to the District Calendar and the District Website.
The District Directory information is available online to ALL ROTARIANS in Rotary District 5650. Select My District Rotary then District Directory. You will be required to logon* to view the directory.
Note: The use of the Rotary District 5650 Directory is for official Rotary District 5650 business only.
