Spring is here and that means a busy time for our District with the current Rotary year winding down and a new one about to begin. This means lots of Rotary events and meetings including the annual District Conference. We are using on-line registration when we can so it's also a good time to review how to register online. Find the event under "District Events" on the left of the main web site and click on it to go to the event page. In some cases you may have also received a direct link to the event page, for instance for the District Conference at dc2013.rotary6760.org. If on-line registration is available you'll see a registration link on the left side of the event page. Clicking on that link will take you to event registration. In most cases you'll be required to log-in to register. Even if you're not required to log-in it saves you a few steps if you do so first as information will automatically be filled in for you. Each member in the District has a "Login name" and "Password" if your clubs records are up to date. If you don't know your password click on "New and existing users - Retrieve your password" and enter your particulars there and your info will be emailed to you. If you receive an error message or have another problem contact me explaining the issue you are having and I will try to help you through it. If there is a fee for the event you will usually have the option to either pay on-line or alternatively download a registration form. On the top of each event there should also be a chair listed you can contact for more information or ask a question. | | Posted by Mike Thompson on Jan 14, 2013

Rotary News -- 14 January 2013 RI President-elect Ron Burton will ask Rotarians to Engage Rotary, Change Lives in 2013-14. He unveiled the RI theme during the opening plenary session of the 2013 International Assembly in San Diego, California, USA, the annual training event for incoming district governors. “If we really want to take Rotary service forward, then we must make sure that every single Rotarian has the same feeling about Rotary that each one of us here has today,” Burton said. “We need to make sure that every Rotarian has a meaningful role to play, that they’re all making a contribution, and that their contribution is valued.” | | Posted by Mike Thompson on Sep 04, 2012

For sixty-five years Ambassadorial Scholars have studied around the world representing Rotary's commitment to global peace and understanding. The program will end in 2013 with Future Vision but you still have the chance to have one of these outstanding young people tell your membership about their experiences and the effect it has had on them. Since 1947 The Rotary Foundation has awarded $532-million for these scholarships to 41,000 young men and women, two of those recently returned to the District.
