| | Governor's Weekly Briefing | August 11, 2010
|
| This is the seventh in a series of Weekly Briefings shared with all Rotary Club members in District 6150 as we focus this year on Building Communities and Bridging Continents.
Dear Rotarian,
Official visits are ongoing! I am looking forward to the visit at Newport this Friday and next Monday at Batesville. I continue to be amazed at what a progressive District we have. Each of the clubs that I have visited has recognized opportunities to serve their communities and have developed plans to meet those needs. Congratulations to all of you!
Important Tax Information For Your Club
All small nonprofit organizations are required to file tax returns, this includes Rotary Clubs. The IRS is offering a One-time Special Filing Relief Program for us to meet this requirement; deadline is October 15, 2010. Each club should review the attached information to see if your club is at risk of losing your tax-exempt status and take appropriate steps to meet these requirements.
Learn more here.

2010 District Seminars
Sign up today to represent your club
Three more District Seminars are scheduled in locations convenient for all District 6150 Rotarians. Each will include sessions on four tracks - The Rotary Foundation, Membership, Vocational Service & Youth Programs.
Your Rotary club should send at least four individuals to a session close by so each track will have a representative in attendance. Having more members attend will benefit your club plus your club will receive additional points toward the Club of the Year and Governor's Banner recognition.
The seminar at Jonesboro this past Monday was very well attended. Many thanks to all of you who made that event possible. Photos from the Jonesboro seminar are online!
Additional information and online registration at www.Rotary6150.org/go/seminars.
