What is a DRFC?

Out of curiosity, do you know what the acronym DRFC stands for? Not to belabor the point,  DRFC refers to the District Rotary Foundation Committee. It is also used as the acronym to identify the Chair of a district’s DRFC.  

Do you know who currently holds the DRFC title in District 7600? Do you know how long a DRFC serves? Has there ever been a woman DRFC in District 7600? What does the DRFC (committee) do? For that matter, what does the DRFC (Chair) do?

Assuming you know anything about the DRFC, who has been your favorite DRFC? Why? Who have been the most recent DRFCs?

An informal poll was taken of recent Past District Governors to assist in reconstructing the list of prior DRFCs and the years they served. The past DRFCs relied on their memories or referred to treasured souvenir district directories so accuracy may be suspect.

  • Bob Stallworth (2000-2001),
  • John Nelson (2001-2002),
  • Joe Mulkerrin (2002-2007),
  • Bob Preston (2007-2010),
  • Bill Pollard (2010-2013),
  • Jim Probsdorfer (2013-2016),
  • and currently, Chuck Arnason (2016-2019).

It appears that before 2007 the term for a DRFC was one year.  Past Rotary International Director Joe Mulkerrin served for five years, and after that, the DRFCs have served for three years.

Now who will be our DRFC when Past District Governor Chuck completes his term in June?

Clubs will have more autonomy in fashioning the timing and nature of club meetings and member engagement goals under new provisions out of the Council on Legislation this past week in Evanston …

New Rotary Year ushering in changes:

Zone 33-34 Director-Elect, Joe Mulkerrin,  on changes in Rotary meetings, engagement levels, and attraction methods as a result of the Council on Legislation meeting.  More details to follow soon.  Then Joe made the rounds of the breakouts.

Joe & Chuck DTA withnamesChuck Arnason,  incoming District Rotary Foundation Chair, introduced his team and goals in the Foundation breakout. It was well attended and included a number of club foundation chairs who asked incisive questions and offered practical suggestions for communication and process.  PDG/Director-Elect Joe also attended a portion of the meeting and encouraged us to stay committed to our goal of eradicating polio.  We’re in the last and hardest stages of eradication. Help that effort …

Attend the End Polio Now Baseball games:

July 7 – 2016 Rotary Night Flyer Richmond Flying Squirrels, headed by Co-Chair Stan Wall (Colonial Heights), and

July 27 – 2016 Polio Plus Tides Baseball  headed by Co-Chair Dave Mansfield.

Dave invited Riptide to attend the Assembly and he did drop by.  He had a great time.
