| | Promoting Rotary this
holiday season | Don’t
miss the opportunity to tell local media about your club’s holiday
service
projects. Whether the activity is collecting items for the
disadvantaged, raising funds, or just spreading goodwill and cheer, be
sure local news
outlets know about it. During the holiday season, media are always
looking for stories of service, so share your news and raise your club’s
local profile. Read how the Rotary clubs of Springfield, Ohio,
USA, and San Juan, Trinidad and
Tobago, are making a difference in their
communities. |
| Visuals help make a
better presentation | Think
visually when preparing your next presentation. You can make any public
relations
discussion at a presidents-elect training seminar, governors-elect
training seminar, or other large Rotary meeting more effective and
enjoyable for
your audience by including visuals. Thousands of free Rotary
images are available online to
help you communicate successfully. See tips for creating
visually dynamic presentations. |
| Social media trends to look for in 2012 | In
the past year, sharing content and engaging online through
social media have become a daily routine for millions of people around
the world. Rotarians have found that social media are effective
marketing tools
and a good way to reach out to new audiences.

social media trends predicted for 2012. |
Strategic partnership formed with UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education
| Rotary
and the UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education have teamed up to
tackle the world’s water and sanitation crisis. Together, they will work
to increase the ranks of critically needed trained professionals who
can devise, plan, and implement solutions in developing and emerging
countries, where the problem is most widespread. Through the
partnership, The
Rotary Foundation will offer packaged global
grants that
Rotary clubs may
use to select and sponsor scholarships for professionals in the water
sector. Up to eight students a year may be chosen for any of three
master of
science programs at the institute in Delft, the Netherlands. The details
of the packaged global grants are being finalized, and an announcement
will
be made as soon as the application becomes available online. Read more about the
partnership. |
