Registration extended till November 4th!

If you haven’t registered yet for the District 7600 Foundation Awards Banquet, you still have a few days to sign up on dacdb.com.  We want a great turn out to help celebrate the generosity of the D7600 Clubs and member donors.  After all, 2017-18 is our very first M I L L I O N Dollar giving year.

How you can help, dear reader:

First off, register yourself and/ or your spouse/significant other, so you have someone to chat with on the road.

Secondly, if you are reading this on Facebook, “like” it and write a comment about your own Rotary Foundation story. Do this even if you have already registered. Next share it to your own timeline or any Facebook page on which you may post.

Finally, there are fourteen clubs which are on the Awards list which have not had anyone from the club register. If you can put a bug in the right persons’ ears to get those clubs represented, it would be super much appreciated.

Those 14 clubs are:

Bon Air, Brandermill, Emporia, Farmville, Great Bridge, Mechanicsville, Newport News, Norfolk Sunrise, Petersburg, Powhatan, Richmond, Suffolk, Virginia Beach, Virginia Peninsula.

If you have any questions about the Banquet, please reach out to Carol Dois Woodward at Facebook Messenger, by DM at twitter @caroldwoodward, or by email at woodwardcd@aol.com.  Really just contact her. You can also find her cell phone number on dacdb.com.  She would like to help while there is still time to get you registered. Walk-ins will not be allowed so please reach out before November 4.

#STARS 16 Days & Counting:

Good news.  You have 16 days to register for the District 7600 #Join the STARS (#STARS for short!)

At least 3 members from each club should attend, if not more.  There are three separate seminars and each Rotarian registers for just one of the seminars … either Membership, Public Image, or Foundation. The chairs or at least a member of each club committee in these areas should be present to learn:

  • best practices
    • Foundation led by Chuck Arnason & Team
    • Membership lead by Mike Jallo & Shel Douglas
    • Public Image led by JoAnn Meaker & team
  • latest Rotary International messaging in each seminar
  • requirements in the documentation updates for clubs activities & projects
  • latest grant requirements with a focus on Community Assessments
  • Lashonda Delivuk, D7570 Public Image Vice-Chair, speaking in both the membership & public image seminars

Clubs, a message to all … want to excel in innovative club presence, reporting, and starsvitality … send as many club members as possible to be exposed to and ride the rockets that will send your club to the #STARS.

Register by July 28th on dacdb.com calendar and #JoinTheStars!

When you have registered consider, going on your facebook page and put #STARS into your post and mention that you have registered for one of the seminars.  If you want to tell folks which one use a hashtag, e.g. #foundation or #membership or #publicimage. That will build the buzz for the seminars.

Million$Year … 2017-2018

The Rotary Foundation books have closed for the 2017-2018 year.  There will be some adjustments, but it is totally safe to report that in Past District Governor John Padgett’s and District Rotary Foundation Chair, Chuck Arnason’s past year, District 7600’s members donated 1.1 million dollars in total giving. More refined figures will be released soon, but needless to say, this is a B A N N E R year for District 7600. More on the other figures very soon.
