August 5 Foundation & Membership Workshops: Answers to “but”

 

“But I went to a workshop two years ago.”

Thank you. And what you learned then was cogent and tailored to the rules and recommendations for success at that time.  But being smart enough to be a Rotarian, you know that things change as do the rules and recommendations for success.  Changes?

  • understanding how the pillars of public image, Rotary Foundation, & membership interplay
  • more flexible ways to structure existing clubs or create new ones — satellite clubs, eclubs, and others
  • corporate memberships
  • flexible attendance/engagement standards
  • the requirement for Club Grant Management Seminar attendance certification for a district grant
  • understanding of how Vocational Training Teams fit into a global grant
  • how Social Media helps Rotarians reach out to each other and to their community members
  • sharing the global vision and leadership of Rotary International with other organizations

“But, it is on a Saturday morning.”

This is true.  But Williamsburg is a city known worldwide for its commitment to history, shopping, wine, and golf.  The key is that you spend only the morning in the workshop.  At noon, hook up with your loved one, who you thoughtfully broad along to shop or golf while you attend the workshop, and go do some of those fun things together.  If he or she wants to hang while you are in class there are lots of comfy seating and guest wifi to allow the spouse to read or surf for an hour or two. Plus the Bar & Grill open around 10:30 so he or she can get an early start on the wine.

“But, it is Saturday morning and I hate getting dressed up.”

Glad to hear that.  Don’t get dressed up.  Wear what you like.  Summer or tropical attire is encouraged.  We draw the line at swim suits, but knowing District 7600 Rotarians we know that someone will push the envelope on that.  We are guessing it will be South Richmond or South Hill.

“But, it costs $30.”

True again.  Did you know that measly $30 includes the world famous Full Southern Breakfast and a whole lot of neat door prizes.  Actually, if you eat a lot and if you win a door prize, you’ll come out ahead.

‘Bee’ A Gift To The World

Be A Gift To The World:

Rotarians are familiar with the Rotary International theme for the 2015-2016 Rotary year. Often one Rotarian says to another Rotarian ‘You are a gift to the world.’  What a huge compliment coming from one Rotarian to another.

Silly BEE (1)

Bee A Gift To The World

District 7600 is taking personal license with our theme because we have a resident Rotarian bee who has appeared in many promotions for our District Rotary Foundation Committee.  Our beautiful bee is Jan Rowley, a member of the Prince George County Rotary and a Foundation Advocate.  She will be reminding all to ‘Finish Strong … Get Ready’ in the next few months. Clubs meeting their Foundation giving goals, engaging members in The Rotary Foundation, and preparing club Foundation giving goals for the 2016-2017 year will mean that each District 7600 Rotarian will be ‘Bee’ A Gift To The World.

A ‘Bee A Gift’ suggestion is to access the Club Recognition Summary Report  in My Rotary (all Club Foundation Chairs, Foundation Advocates, and Area Governors can do this) and determine how many club recognition points the club and each member of the club have.  These recognition points can be used to help members progress towards or achieve Paul Harris Status. Rewarding regular givers or encouraging less regular givers in the club would increase a sense of engagement and investment in The Rotary Foundation.  There is plenty of time before the end of the Rotary Year to design and implement a reward/incentive program to use those points.
