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.

OK, register already! dacdb.com calendar.

August 5, Colonial Heritage Williamsburg, Door Prizes, Foundation Workshop, Full Southern Breakfast, Membership Workshop, Morning of Learning

Annual Summer Foundation & Membership Workshops

August 5, 2017, is the date.  Colonial Heritage Golf Club, Williamsburg, Virginia, is the place for the annual morning workshops for all things Foundation & Membership.  The registration deadline is on July 28 so we can report a head count for the caterer.  It is a memorable breakfast so get your registration done.  Pull out your credit card and go to the dacdb.com calendar and sign up for the event on August 5.

Choose one of the two workshops, depending on your club role or personal interest. Whether you choose the Foundation or the Membership workshop, you will find the emphasis of each is on innovation, attracting younger members, and engaging more experienced members in the riveting world of The Rotary Foundation and robustly building your club membership.

We are waiting with baited breath to see if DG John will have a creative new blazer forBill Bills and his tropical friends the event.  As for the rest of us … the attire is tropical casual.  Hawaiian shirts, cargo shorts, moo moos, tee shirts … almost anything goes, except for swimsuits.  We are Rotarians, after all,  we must uphold our dignity.

It would be great for folks from a club to carpool, lowering the carbon footprint, and having spirited conversations along the way.

Let’s talk spouses.  Due to size restraints of some of the rooms, we must discourage the attendance of nonRotarian spouses.  However, the Pottery is virtually across the road from the Colonial Heritage, there is the golf course, and there is guest wifi with comfy seating throughout the public spaces for reading or surfing the web. When the workshops end at noon there is plenty of time for love birds to reunite and pursue great adventures in Williamsburg.

For more information contact Carol Woodward or Mike Jallo. The District Executive Secretary is also eager to help with registration issues.  Visit the dacdb.com calendar for the event for their contact information. IMG_20170709_0001

See you on the 5th!

August 5, Change of Leadership, Colonial Heritage, District Awards, Foundation Workshop, Juy 22, Membership Workshop, Williamsburg VA

Change of Leadership & Club Awards – July 22

The District Change of Leadership and District Awards will be on July 22.  It is a great event to which to invite your spouse, children, and that visiting in-law, so all can see what a great Rotary leader you are.  We will learn at the event which clubs will be in the Governor’s Circle and which club will be awarded the coveted Governor’s Cup.  In April someone was delegated to getting the club award applications written up and submitted to district.  Here is the chance to thank them for their hard work by attending this annual ceremony.  Register on dacdb.com calendar.

This photo taken by Bill Billings at the recent Zone 33 Training Seminar in Cary, North Carolina includes many of the luminaries who will be at the Change of Leadership Ceremony.  From left Lois Billings, Stan & Debbie Wall, Dana Rieves, Shel Douglas, District Governor Elect John Padgett, and Past District Governor Bill Pollard.  Come on July 22nd and enjoy their company.

Zone Dinner

Annual Foundation & Membership Workshops – Aug 5

These two simultaneous workshops are training events and really not appropriate for non Rotarians.  However, there is nearby shopping, historic events, a golf course, or comfortable seating in the Colonial Heritage Club should they want to read or cruise the web.  You’ll be finished at Noon and from there you and your loved one can go have a great time in Colonial Williamsburg.  Registration will be live sometime this week on the dacdb.com calendar.  Here is a great Flyer with more details.

a little help from my friends

from indie place farm …

Sharing, caring, making a difference:

Bill Bills and his tropical friendsThank you to the 60+ Rotarians who attended the District Foundation Workshop on Saturday, August 6th.  Another 30+ attended the Membership Workshop.  The attendance level was amazing considering that many district Rotarians were involved in the Newport News 100th birthday celebration with luminaries such as the Rotary International President John Germ,and Congressman Bobby Scott in attendance.

What was also truly amazing was the all-in involvement and interaction by Rotarians committed to The Rotary Foundation.  It was definitely a give and take experience.  District Rotary Foundation leaders, Joy Kline, Bill Liepis, Bill Billings, SuAnne Hardee Bryant, Wendy Hosick, Wayne Boggs, and Colleen Bonadonna shared their expertise, either in person, or by supplying material to be presented by their colleagues. As the District Rotary Foundation Committee Chair (DRFC or DRFCC for short) I had my confidence in the presenters confirmed again as they presented key information and responded to questions.

Unless we hear from our colleagues in the clubs, YOU, we may be unaware of what information needs to be shared, re-shared, or, perhaps presented in a different way. For some of the attendees the information was not new, for others is may have been too much … not scaled to a given individual’s needs.

It was clear to me that we need to loop back with clubs in some way to be 2016-08-09sure that Club Foundation Chairs have access to and know how to use the Club Foundation giving reports. There were many questions about that topic during or after the presentations. There were also a number of questions about becoming a Benefactor.

So come back at us, please. How can our District Rotary Foundation Committee help with any of your  or your club’s Foundation needs. We will make presentations in your clubs, schedule comupter walk-throughs with you individually, schedule small regional trainings, respond by email … just let us know what will work for you.

You may contact any of us by email or phone.  We will respond.  Carol Woodward at 804-691-8486 or woodwardcd@aol.com serves in some ways as a connection point so feel free to contact her and she can get you help stat!

We are all volunteers, aren’t we?  We may not be perfect, but we care and we can help each other and The Rotary Foundation do good in the world.

— Chuck

Annual District Workshops …

August 6, Car Pool, Colonial Heritage, dacdb.com, Foundation Advocates, Foundation Workshop, Gossip, Membership Workshop, Register Now, Williamsburg

Haven’t registered yet?  Why not?

The Annual Membership & Foundation Workshops are scheduled for August 6 at the Colonial Heritage Golf Club in Williamsburg.  Roughly about a dozen hardworking District 7600 Rotarians are working now on the event logistics, presentations, and acquiring door prizes.  All we need now are attendees.  To date only 51  Rotarians have registered and we have capacity for at least 300.

Flyer1Who should register?  Register if you are a club membership chair or a member of a club membership committee.  Register if you are a club Rotary Foundation chair or a member a club Rotary Foundation committee.  Register if you are a committed club member and want to learn more about how to help your club excel in one of these areas.  Register if you are a newer Rotarian and just want to learn anything you can about the greater world of Rotary. Register if just want to get out of your Saturday rut.  Isn’t it boring spending every Saturday mowing, golfing, watching cartoons, shopping, or sleeping-in.  Sleep is overrated, by the way. Register if just want to spend some great time with other Rotarians. We are such an optimistic, humane, and witty bunch of folk.

It is also a great opportunity to gossip if you are carpooling with other members of your club.  It is hard to gossip gracefully during club meetings.  Sergeants-at -Arms are not very understanding of such things. Make sure you get your preferred gossipers to register so that you’ll have a roiling trip in the car down to Williamsburg.

There are 64 Rotary Clubs in District 7600.  If we had just two members from every club we’d have 128 attendees.  Four from every club and we’d have … can’t count that high.

You get the idea.  The first food count has to be in on this Friday the 29th. Register now, please, and urge fellow or fella club members to do likewise.  Just go to dacdb.com with your credit card handy and register on the ‘Calendar’ tab.  Just scroll down to the Workshops event on August 6 and hit Register Now. Select whether you want to attend Membership or Foundation Workshop.
