event to raise money for polio
It also applies to District 7980's
concert to raise money for polio last year.
Membership/Clubs
Every Rotary Club should have
a Rotaract club partner. And vice versa
Barry Rassin
Mark Malone's plan
Innovation in existing clubs
Creation of new Innovative Clubs
Rotaractors
Jeff Cadorette
You cannot grow Rotary by adding a
few to each club
Rotary needs to add new clubs with
new, diverse people
Polio Effort and Implications for Underserved communities health
Henrietta Forte of UNICEF gave an
inspiring speech on polio and the history of the battle. She also talked about
the importance of Rotary in community health care. The use of Rotary's system
for bringing polio vaccine to underserved communities can also be used to reach
hard to reach people for other diseases.
Elimination of cerivical cancer in Sri Lanka
Two Rotary clubs 14,000 miles
apart working on the early detection of cancer. Rotary Club of Birmingham and
one in Sri Lanka
Essentially eliminated cervical
cancer in Sri Lanka Birmingham
Eliminate Silos in Rotary Training
Train the District and Zone
-Public Image, Foundation and Membership teams together. These areas overlap
and creating silos is a bad idea.
President Elect Mark Malone's plan
1. Grow Rotary
Create
new membership models
New
paths to Rotary membership
Create
new Rotary and Rotaract clubs
Barry Rassin comment-Every Rotary
Club should have an associated Rotaract Club
Rotaractors and others commented that University Rotaract
clubs are problematic, that Community based ones are sustainable.
2. Involve our families
3. Build a viable path to Rotary
leadership
Perhaps
the DG does not have to visit every club
Some
Districts in Asia have over 100 clubs and 4000
members
4. United Nations partnerships
Emphasis on Each Governor and
Each President helping those who come before and Follow after
Several speakers emphasized this
and it came up in the discussion groups. Our Governor Track meetings are
important and not practiced by all Districts.
