Time to refresh on upcoming deadlines & events
Such an enervating and exhausting time of year for Rotarians. The old year is closing out and the new Rotary year is already making demands of club and district leaders. But we are tough and quoting our beloved Jim Pierce …”Can we do it? YES! YES! YES!”
April:
29 – the last Grant Management Seminar (GMS). This is a webinar format, but attendees may do so in person if they prefer. There are still about 20 clubs in 7600 who have not been GMS certified to apply for or participate in a grant. This is the last opportunity to qualify for that certification. Register on dacdb.com calendar.
May:
13 – District Training Assembly in Hampton at the Peninsula Workforce Development Center at 600 Butler Farm Road. Training with breakouts for Presidents-Elect, President Nominees, Secretaries, Treasurers, Membership Chairs, and Foundation Chairs. Any Rotarian may attend and learn a whole lot, especially if the Rotarian is a new Rotarians. Light breakfast refreshments and LUNCH! Register on dacdb.com calendar.
15 – Deadline for submission of District Grant Applications through the Grants Module on dacdb.com. Questions? Contact SuAnne Hardee Bryant or Chuck Arnason, but please don’t wait until the last minute. If your club had a 2016-17 grant or participated in a group grant, that grant must be fully closed out before a grant award may be awarded to that club(s) for the 2017-18 year.
June:
10 – 14 – Rotary International Convention, Atlanta.
30 – Donations must be sent to The Rotary Foundation for the donations to count for the 2016-17 Rotary Year. Please don’t wait til midnight, June 30, please?

the annual training event for incoming club leaders, April 23rd this year. Most Rotary clubs have a leadership board of at least 10 to 12 members. At the DTA there is specialized training for Secretaries & Treasurers and other positions, but there is also an overview of the District Governor’s goals for the year, introduction of key district leaders, and a fantastic breakout for all things relating to The Rotary Foundation, and many other attractions. All incoming club leaders should come to the DTA, learn a whole lot, and have a whole lot of fellowship with Rotarians from across District 7600, and have a day off from yard work.
The GMS met all of the requirements for a club in attendance to be eligible to apply for or participate in a global grant. In our district only global grants require attendance at a GMS, but the application process, grant criteria, and reporting requirements are very similar for a district grant. The information imparted at the GMS prepared the clubs in attendance for the application, execution, reporting, and close out of either type of grant.
