Hospitality Event for Rotary International Assembly
Again this year our club will host approximately 12 incoming district governors and their spouses for an informal dinner and fellowship event. In the past, this has been a great event that showcases our club to these guests. Each of the guest district governors will get to briefly tell us about their district as we project information on a screen so everyone can see scenes from their region. If you are interested in attending this club social event, please sign up with Paul Gorman. This is necessary to not only know how much food we will need for the event, but also to know the names of people who will be using the free parking that will be provided at the Meridian Condominiums at 700 Front Street.
This hospitality event came up suddenly, but thanks to Paul Gorman, our club is showing that we can act quickly to put together a great event.
Check out Rotary.org’s modern, new look
Rotary.org, our public-facing website, has a fresh, contemporary look that clearly answers the often-asked question: “What is Rotary?” It’s the first step in a two-part update to our entire website: first Rotary.org, and then My Rotary.
For many people, our website is their introduction to the great work that Rotary members do to improve lives around the world. It’s meant to create an emotional connection that inspires potential members, donors, and partners to get involved. The latest changes to the public site do that, and more.
Some of the updates will be obvious: a modern design, increased use of imagery and graphics to tell our stories, and better organization of content to help readers find out who we are and what we’re doing. Other changes, like the improved readability and speed of the site, will be a welcome surprise.
These upgrades are made possible partly by the dues increase the 2016 Council on Legislation passed to allow Rotary to provide additional support to clubs and districts. As part of our work to refresh My Rotary, we’ll also update Rotary Club Central and the Club and District Administration pages — more information about these improvements will arrive in the coming months.
Editor's note: I have noticed that this updated RI website is very attractive and is easier to navigate. There is also a place for stories about Rotary clubs and Rotarians, a feature that was lacking in the previous site.
