So be sure that your club is in the game! Go to dacdb.com calendar and register for Pete’s sake.

You can take a look at and download the training documents that will be used at d7600foundation.org. https://d7600foundation.org/grants-scholarships-2/

It’s never to early to start planning:

District Governor-Elect Diane Hagemann and Past District Governor Chuck Arnason connected in September at the Rotary Club of Prince George County for a club program.  Afterwards they took the opportunity to find a quiet corner to confer with each other on matters relating to the 2016 -2o17 Rotary year.  What wasn’t known to most Rotarians at the time was that PDG Chuck was the incoming District Rotary Foundation Committee Chair.

Area 7 Foundation Advocate, Stan Wall (c)

Recently, Foundation Advocate for Area 7, Stan Wall (Colonial Heights Club), after coordinating with Area Governor Sam Parham (Petersburg Breakfast Rotary), connected with his clubs’ Club Foundation Chairs and Presidents-Elect to once again brief them on and answer questions about the Memorandum of Understanding and other topics the PEs would be studying at the Presidents-Elect Training Seminar (PETS).

These two vignettes demonstrate that sometimes face to face meetings with individuals or small groups can help promote the understanding of roles and contribute to the sharing of information as challenges arise.

Presidents-Elect and Club Foundation Chairs, whether they are new to the roles or are repeating those roles (as often happens in smaller clubs), may feel overwhelmed at times by what is expected and when.   Whatever our roles in our clubs or the district, we all want to do a good job and help others shine in their roles.  Yes, this is a bit of a pep ‘talk’, but worthy of doing.  We are Rotarians  who are ‘Gifts To The World’ by ‘Serving Humanity.’

Announcement:

This weekly Foundation Blog will publish on Tuesdays beginning in March 2016.  Watch for other changes as we approach the 2016 -2017 year.

 

 

Are you ready for some Foundation?

2016 -2017 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on rotary7600.org:

Visit the Foundation Grants page on rotary7600.org and find the 2016 – 17 MOU and other updated grants documents. PEs will receive instructions on the MOUs at PETS.  Remember that Distict Grant Applications are due by May 15.

2016 Foundation/Membership Workshop, Colonial Heritage Club (Williamsburg) August 6:

13-08-17e3 Rotary Foundation 021 Jim ProbsdorferIf your club leadership role relates to  Membership or The Rotary Foundation or these are areas of interest to you,please put the morning of August 6 on your calendars now to participate in the Foundation/Membership Workshop. The incoming District Membership Chair Mike Jallo and incoming District Rotary Foundation Committee Chair (DRFCC) Chuck Arnason are in the early stages of planning as we read this.  Why should Club Foundation Chairs, Grant Project Chairs, and Membership Chairs attend?

  • annual training focused on just Membership, Foundation Giving, & GrantsAdvocate Heather & DGN John
  • takes only a morning — shopping, sightseeing, and lunch can follow with the family
  • minimum of pomp and circumstance
  • chance to show off those tropical plaid shorts, skorts, and disreputable hats
  • sharing of club ideas and projects

Registration will be on the dacdb.com district calendar soon.  The Colonial Heritage Country Club has wifi, an informal grill & bar for lunch afterwards, if you choose, and is virtually across from the Williamsburg Pottery.  Make the entire day a family outing.  You will be out of the Workshop around Noon.  Watch this space for when Registration opens.

Shout Outs to:

  • Foundation Advocate Stan Wall (Area 7) who is working with his Area PEs in advance of PETS
  • SuAnne Hardee Bryant, District Grants Chair, and Randy Cash, District Annual Giving Chair,  who already have 2016-2017 grants docs on rotary7600.org Foundation Grants page.
  • Rudy Garcia, incoming District Development Chair, for accepting an admin role on the Rotary D7600 Foundation Committee facebook page
  • to every reader of our facebook page who ‘likes’ and ‘shares’ some of the posts

 

 

A Wrap Up of Last Week’s Questions

30 Monday Mar 2015

Everything worth knowing is worth repeating!

Three primary questions this week:

1.  What are the responsibilities of the Foundation Advocates?

2.  Where can I find the 2015 -2016 MOU?

3.  Why hasn’t a Paul Harris Fellow donor in my club received his recognition form The Rotary Foundation?

Responsibilities of Foundation Advocates:

We have dealt with the first question at the District Team Training Seminar, the Presidents-Elect Seminar, we likely will do so again at the District Team Training Seminar on April 25th, on this blog and on our website.  In one basic sentence … The role of the Foundation Advocate is to coordinate with Club Foundation Chairs (CFCs)  in his or her assigned area, the District Rotary Foundation Committee (DRFC), and with the complimentary Area Governor to assist clubs in setting and recording the clubs’ Foundation giving goals, provide information on applying for district and global grants, and meeting the Foundation giving goals set by the clubs.

To accomplish those duties the Foundation Advocates must reach out and interact with the CFCs, DRFC, and with Area Governors for given areas.  This topic has been addressed before in this blog below and in the other venues mentioned.  For your convenience  here is a link to the D7600AdvocatesRoleResp-2013cdw_1 and it can be found on the Resources and documents page of this blog, on the Advocates page on http://www.rotary7600.org.

2015-2016 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU):

Here it is … 2015-16 District Grant Club MOU (1).  It and other important grant related documents are located on the Programs/Grants page on http://www.rotary7600.org and on the Foundation Resources page of the http://www.rotary7600.org.  It is also on the Resources & Documents page of this blog.

This question was prompted by a hardworking CFC because his President-Elect professed to not knowing where it was.  One issue which arose was that on http://www.rotary7600.org navigation may be a hurdle.  On the home page there is a menu on the left hand side of the page.  One scrolls down to ‘The Rotary Foundation’.  If you click on that page you get the nice page with Probs’ picture on it and do read that page.  To get to the other pages under ‘The Rotary Foundation’ what one must do instead is let the cursor hover over ‘The Rotary Foundation’.  This will bring up a menu of six pages. That is where you will find the ‘Programs/Grants’ and the ‘Foundation Resources’ pages. Move to the page you want and click.

Paul Harris Fellow Recognition Time-Frame:

This question needs follow up.  You are the local brain trust … how long does it normally take for the Paul Harris Pin and Certificate to arrive at a club? Does it come to the Club address or to the President’s address?

Waiting to hear from you.
