You are looking at the new and improved version of ClubRunner's new web site design. It is still in the beta or "work in progress" stage. I am reviewing the new features and trying different layouts. I am also giving ClubRunner feedback on problem areas.
Be patient if I don't answer your questions right away. I am looking at your concerns and if I can figure it out, I will let you know. If I can't, I will let ClubRunner know.

The summer has been action packed, it’s been Rotary 24/7 and I am proud to be a part of it. August was filled with Area Assemblies that were well received. At all the Assemblies we discussed the importance of clubs working together through service projects and fundraising efforts. Additionally, networking nights was discussed at these Assemblies. All AG’s are now currently working with each of their clubs to develop a series of networking events. There is a two part objective to these networking events. First objective is to give a platform for all current and future Rotarians the opportunity to do business with each other. The second objective is to capitalize off the energy of these meetings to develop new clubs. With District membership below 1000, I must focus my attention on increasing the number of Rotarians in our District.
My intentions are to start four new Rotary Clubs and four new Rotaract Clubs within the next 10 months. Arnie’s Army is in full recruitment mode and wants YOU to be a part of it. These new clubs will make our District Bigger, Better and Bolder In our continuous effort to Build Communities!!
There are many wonderful perks of being District Governor. Attending Club Fundraisers is one of them. Rose and I had the privilege of attending several terrific fundraisers such as Sayville’s Beefsteak Dinner, Northport’s Wine Tasting, Brentwood’s Cookie Run, Family Day at the Brookhaven National Lab and our first Annual Family BBQ. I would like to personally thank Thud Hill, President of the Riverhead Club for facilitating the event at his family’s ranch.
For the next three months I will be traveling throughout the District on my Official Visits to each of the clubs. I will also be coordinating our many Multi-District Events. These events include:
October 9th: RLI – Melville Marriott
October 16th: Multi-District Foundation Seminar – Doubletree Hotel in Tarrytown N.Y.
November 5th: Multi-District Paul Harris Foundation Dinner – TBA
April 7-10th: Multi-District Conference – Sheraton National in Arlington VA
In our continuing effort to Bridge Continents, The Rotary Foundation has outlined a plan to help the flood victims in Pakistan. Please see the below information just provided. It is a decision taken by TRF Chair Carl-Wilhelm Stenhammar on behalf of the trustees.

ZONE 32 HEALTH & HUNGER AWARD Our Rotary District is combined with Zone 24 and 32. The territory that it covers is Bermuda, Canada, France, and the Northeastern part of the United States. As individuals on the District Governor track we do training at what we call “Zone”. The Director of Zone 32 is Ken Grabeau and the Rotary Coordinator is Ernie Luise, or rather Ernestine. For the President-Elects in 2011/12, I have the privilege of telling that both Ken and Ernie will be at the Multi-District Pets in March and we are all looking forward to having them as speakers at our plenary sessions. This Rotary year Zone 32 has a Health and Hunger Award, and I will give you a background on the intent of this award from Rotary International. They are encouraging Rotary club and district efforts to improve health and nutrition in their local and world communities. Clubs are encouraged to conduct projects that improve nutrition, reduce vulnerability to preventable or treatable diseases and increase access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation.
Strategies for Clubs and Districts: - Invest in inexpensive solutions, i.e., immunizations; insecticide treated mosquito nets, nutritional supplements, antibiotics, oral rehydration therapy
- Educate women and girls
- Train health care providers
- Strengthen health systems in local communities to provide technical health interventions
- Promote partnerships
- Involve governments

IRS Offers One-Time Special Filing Relief Program for Small Charities; Oct. 15 Due Date to Preserve Tax-Exempt Status Video: Small Tax Exempt Org Revised Filing Deadline IR-2010-87, July 26, 2010 WASHINGTON — Small nonprofit organizations at risk of losing their tax-exempt status because they failed to file required returns for 2007, 2008 and 2009 can preserve their status by filing returns by Oct. 15, 2010, under a one-time relief program, the Internal Revenue Service announced today. The IRS today posted on a special page of IRS.gov the names and last-known addresses of these at-risk organizations, along with guidance about how to come back into compliance. The organizations on the list have return due dates between May 17 and Oct. 15, 2010, but the IRS has no record that they filed the required returns for any of the past three years. “We are doing everything we can to help organizations comply with the law and keep their valuable tax exemption,” IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman said. “So if you do not have your filings up to date, now’s the time to take action and get back on track.” Two types of relief are available for small exempt organizations – a filing extension for the smallest organizations required to file Form 990-N, Electronic Notice (e-Postcard), and a voluntary compliance program (VCP) for small organizations eligible to file Form 990-EZ, Short Form Return of Organization Exempt From Income Tax. Small organizations required to file Form 990-N simply need to go to the IRS website, supply the eight information items called for on the form, and electronically file it by Oct. 15. That will bring them back into compliance. Under the VCP, tax-exempt organizations eligible to file Form 990-EZ must file their delinquent annual information returns by October 15 and pay a compliance fee. Details about the VCP are on the IRS website, along with frequently asked questions. The relief announced today is not available to larger organizations required to file the Form 990 or to private foundations that file the Form 990-PF. The IRS will keep today’s list of at-risk organizations on IRS.gov until Oct. 15, 2010. Organizations that have not filed the required information returns by that date will have their tax-exempt status revoked, and the IRS will publish a list of these revoked organizations in early 2011. Donors who contribute to at-risk organizations are protected until the final revocation list is published. The Pension Protection Act of 2006 made two important changes affecting tax-exempt organizations, effective the beginning of 2007. First, it mandated that all tax-exempt organizations, other than churches and church-related organizations, must file an annual return with the IRS. The Form 990-N was created for small tax-exempt organizations that had not previously had a filing requirement. Second, the law also required that any tax-exempt organization that fails to file for three consecutive years automatically loses its federal tax-exempt status. The IRS conducted an extensive outreach effort about this new legal requirement but, even so, many organizations have not filed returns on time. If an organization loses its exemption, it will have to reapply with the IRS to regain its tax-exempt status. Any income received between the revocation date and renewed exemption may be taxable. | | Jul 15, 2010
TWO "SHOULDS": 1. Each club should hold a "Club Assembly" on a regular basis. Consider the advantages of devoting one regular meeting each month to imparting and/or gathering Rotary information, Rotary education, and leadership training and sharing thoughts and feelings of the club members regarding Rotary. It is also an excellent opportunity for the club's president to gather the information needed in order to complete District and RI reports. 2. Although only a "should" and not a requirement, once a month should be a program about Rotary. Members of your own club should be your first choice: someone working on International or Club Service, for instance. Next should be District Committee people. By the way: Share information about your club's speakers and give us feedback about ours! E-Mail Judy Marlow-Ratway at: | | Jul 08, 2010
