Dining, live music, and awards!

prouddonorJoin in The Rotary Foundation celebration on November 12.  The District Foundation Awards Banquet will be held that evening at the Colonial Heritage Country Club in Williamsburg.  Come connect with almost 200 Rotarians from the district as over 100 awards are presented.  There will be a Cash Bar Reception beginning as early as 5:45 and the dinner seating will be at 6:45 p.m.  The food will include a number of entree and sides selections as well as desserts, coffee and tea.  Diners will enjoy live music and bottles of wine may be purchased at the cash bar to enliven the dinner conversations at the tables.  Though there are a number of awards to be bestowed, the evening will have a conveniently early adjournment.  Please register NOW at dacdb.com.  Bring a spouse and one or more of your new members.

Club Foundation Presentations in November:

Foundation Advocates and Club Foundation Chairs be prepared to provide club programs on The Rotary Foundation during the month of November.  This Blog might be a useful archive, plus the convenient Power Point presentation prepared by Jim Probsdorfer is available on this site’s Resources and Documents Page.  Slide 20 can be tailored for the specific club.  You might also consider printing one or more of Ken Hodge’s Giving Awareness articles to distribute to the club members (also available on this site).  All Advocates and Club Foundation Chairs should have access to club Foundation reports, but if you need assistance, don’t hesitate to contact Carol Woodward, 804-691-8486 or woodwardcd@aol.com.

Shout Outs:

To Foundation Advocate Carl Duffey (James River) for his advice on presenting EREY

To Foundation Advocate Jan Rowley for successfully sorting out that delegation issue in Area 6

To Lawrenceville President Della Wood, Club Foundation Chair Katharine Samford, and Advocate Adviser Cindy Pecht for their warm welcome on October 29th

Status Update on Delegation of Access To Foundation Advocates

Friday, August 14, District Governor Gary sent an email to the 17 Area Governors (AGs) instructing them to use the delegation tool to delegate club access through June 30, 2016, to their counterpart area Foundation Advocates.

To-date only 5 and 1/2 of the delegations have been accomplished.  So, you hale and hardy Advocates … if you have not received an email from Rotary International that the AG has delegated access to the clubs in your area, you need to contact your AG and ask him or her to accomplish this important task soonest.

If you need help contacting your AG contact me … 804-691-8486 or woodwardcd@aol.com.  Thanks to the Advocates who have personally informed me that they have received their delegation notices.

Why this delegation Matters

As Foundation Advocates you are the personal representatives of the District Rotary Foundation Committee Chair, Jim Probsdorfer, to the clubs in your areas.  With this access you can look at data and reports for your area clubs. The AG still has access, so, this delegation does two things … it makes it easier for you and your counterpart AG to co-ordinate on assisting clubs in accomplishing  important goals … and it gives you as Advocates the means to fulfill your role as Jim’s liaison with you clubs.

Attractions in the next 90 days

  • Advocates Conference Call August 27 at 4 (separate email notices with bridge numbers)
  • Campaign to boost EREY (Every Rotarian Every Year)
  • Advocates should be connecting with their Club Foundation Chairs & visiting them
  • Club Foundation Chairs may access the 52 Weekly TRF messages for educating their clubs (see the ‘Resources & Documents’ page at 7600advocates.wordpress.com
  • District Conference October 1-4 in Williamsburg. Regsiter at dacdb.com

♥ Dennis Wool (The Historic Triangle) Area 11 Advocate was the first Advocate to receive his delegation to access from Area Governor Frank Ferrante (Williamsburg).  Amazing as Frank had been a tad under the weather (including a short stay at hospital)

Jim Probsdorfer

Greetings on this great Monday morning to all of you who subscribe to and read this blog.  The blog began by Advocates Chair Carol Woodward as an experiment in providing important District Rotary Foundation priorities in an informal, accessible, and timely way, without overloading folks with endless emails and phone calls.  We still do some of the latter, but we have cut down significantly on the frequency and length of those emails and phone calls.  The blog, open to all, provides a great archive of time sensitive tasks , and has a ‘Resources & Documents’ page of useful tools and references.  I hope you will encourage others to join.

Three important updates for you:

  1. This week the District 7600 Area Governors will be using the RI developed Delegation Tool to delegate their level of access to their area clubs to their counterpart Foundation Advocates. Both will be able to see the goals, goals progress, and club reports for the clubs in their areas. By Friday, August 14, if you are a Foundation Advocate and do not have such access, please report to Carol Woodward and she will get on it.
  2. I have updated the 2015 Club Foundation Presentation Program Slides for Foundation Advocates to use in an early club visit to brief their clubs on The Rotary Foundation and on the District 7600 goals. Slide 20 allows the presenter to insert club specific information.  Click above or log on to the blog site https://7600advocates.wordpress.com. Click on the ‘Resources & Documents’ page above the title.  You will see the Foundation Slides listed among the other documents and references available.
  3. You will also see TRF_52_Week_Message. This provides short weekly messages which we encourage Club Rotary Foundation Chairs to present to his or her club, one each week, to keep TRF before club members as an important component of ‘doing good in the world.’  It may be updated soon by The Rotary Foundation.  We will let you know when that update arrives.

Thank you

Finally, a thank you for supporting and advocating for The Rotary Foundation.  Let me know how we can make it easier for you to promote OUR Foundation. —- Probs
