Going out with a bang:

cropped-relaxed-rotarians-in-evanston.jpgChuck’s tenure as the District Rotary Foundation Chair (“DRFC”) ends on June 30, 2019, but our banquet on November 8th will be his last Foundation Awards Banquet as the DRFC.

It is poetic that his last banquet will celebrate the district’s first $1,000,000 year in 2017T1718_EN-2018. Past District Governor ({DG) John D. Padgett and DRFC Chuck Arnason want to celebrate the clubs and devoted Rotarians responsible for this stellar year of generosity. As PDG John’s theme stated “Rotary: Making a Difference.”

 

Hair today, gone tomorrow:

You may remember that previously to Chuck challenged Rotarians to give, give, give and in exchange he would shave his head. Well, they did and he did.

This year he has made no such challenge, but maybe we could give him a special thanks for his innovation of the recognition points match on “Giving Tuesdays, the special promotion of Benefactor promises, and his strong support of the Paul Harris Society, which he once chaired before becoming District Governor  … oh so long ago.

 

Every Donation Matters:

He and PDG John are proud also, that this year District 7600 has two generous donors inducted into the e Arch Klumph Society.

But, Chuck & John salute all Rotarians who dipped into their accounts or their estates to support the work of The Rotary Foundation.

So, you have tonight (November 3) and tomorrow (November 4) to register for the banquet.  Because of headcount reporting requirements, there can be NO walkins for the banquet.

Join PDG John and DRFC Chuck Thursday for the Banquet, but register Now on dacdb.com.

Pictures worth a 1000 words … except

A few thoughts on public image and digital outreach by Rotarians:

Don’t overestimate the willingness of people to read …

More people are ‘reading’ or looking at content on mobile devices.  Shorter, descriptive passages, are more likely to be read than a constipated 3 page article on the development and implementation of a project.

Structure content in newsletters and information releases with an eye-catching graphic, a curiosity tweaking sentence or two, and a ‘read more’ link.

A still picture depicting action, a gif, or a short video clip if your platform supports it, will be better than a picture with fifteen people staring at the camera.

If there isn’t a picture, it didn’t happen …

Every meeting, event, or project of the club should have one or more members assigned to take photos or video clips.  Yes, the media may come and take pictures, but the publisher may not be readily willing to waive copyright.  Further some professionally taken images can be difficult for amateur newsletter editors to manipulate.

Opt for photos or video clips that show members actually doing something … active at a project work-day, serving each other coffee at a meeting, acting goofy at an End Polio Now Baseball Game.

Avoid using the predictable … the president presenting the speaker’s gift to the speaker,

Grizzard&Pollard

Cheers

the club receiving the grant check from the district leader.  If you must … why not do a video clip?

When possible give attribution to the photographer/videographer.  It’s just the 4-Way Test kind of thing to do.

Feedback invited.
