 C The It's Rotary:  This month is Rotary Awareness Month. While the show does generally follow the month to month theme set forth by Rotary International, the match this month was accidental.  It is fitting that the sites re-launch, with all new features, design and even a format update happen to coincide with the theme.  After all the whole point of the show is to bring awareness of what Rotary is and what it's doing to the "masses".  Chad amits that he was getting tired or even burned out with the show and the site.  Not because he was not longer interested, no this was something even more fundamental than that.  He was burned out with layout, the look, the feel, it felt old already, boring even.  He says, "if we are going to reach out to the world at large and make an impression, it better be a good one".  So he placed a bet that a fresher looking site, a simpler one to look at a nd use, will do just that.  www.itsrotary.com
