We get wildly excited when corrections or suggestions are communicated to us.  We mistakenly referred to David Stovall as the Rotary International Director Nominee.  Well, that all changed on July 1 after his election at the International Convention in Atlanta. So we correct yesterday’s blog to incorporate that correction.   We are so delighted to have RIDE (Rotary International Director – Elect as our keynoter on November 9th!

Who is David Stovall?

David Stovall, of the Rotary Club of Hall County, Georgia, is the Rotary International Director-Elect (RIDE) elected at the Convention in Atlanta to represent Zone 34 on the Rotary International Board of Directors for the 2018-2020 term.

How has David Stovall saved the Day?

RIDE David has stepped in to serve as our keynote speaker at our District 7600 Rotary Foundation Awards Banquet, replacing Rotary International Director (RID) from Zone 33, Ron Ferrill.  Poor RID Ron was tasked to represent Rotary International in Geneva, Switzerland at the International United Nations Day occurring during the same week as our banquet.

Your help needed to help David feel welcome!

Please register now for the banquet which is on November 9 at the at the Colonial Heritage Golf Club in Williamsburg.  Be sure to register your spouse and/or one of your younger or newer club members as your guests.  This is a great opportunity for a Rotary Family and Rotary Fellowship event.  Where do you register?  Why, on dacdb.com calendar, of course!

Hashtag for the event is #TRF7600

When you have registered for the banquet be sure to announce it on facebook and twitter and use the hashtag #TRF7600 to grab attention. Don’t know what all this hashtag stuff means?  Ask anyone under 30.

SuAnne Hardee Bryant presenting

The March 25th Grant Management Seminar (GMS) provided 61 Rotarians from 37 clubs with three hours of step by step instructions on how to use the Grants Module in dacdb.com and some practical tips on stewarding a grant project.  Distinctions between district and global grants were explained and Mike Little explained how global scholarships and peace fell scholarships differ.

 

The faculty included our Chair, Chuck Arnason, the grants team SuAnne Hardee Bryant (Chair), Bill Liepis ( Global Grants), Mike Little (Scholarships), and Wayne Boggs from the Grant  Audit team filling in for the Chair, Don Vaught.

Just a few highlights …

– district grants in our district now require certification of attendance at an interactive GMS

– the application, documentation and reporting process is all digital through the dacdb grants     module

– this year all district grants must be closed out by June 15, but

– a club’s 2016-17 grant must be closed out before a 2017-18 grant can be approved for that club, so

– submit the final report for the 2016-17 grant in advance of the May 15 district grant application deadline

and there’s more, but

If your club needs GMS certification register for either the April 8 or the April 29 GMS Webinar on dacdb.com calendar. You can attend in person or in your home or business office.

Questions? Leave in the comments section or contact our DRFC, Chuck Arnason.

Next week … some tips on removing facial hair and an update of year to date club giving.
