Membership growth in District 5750

In Oklahoma’s District 5750, the Rotary Club of Yukon has grown from 22 to 28 members. How did they do it? Yukon implemented an associate member program. This membership type, aimed at attracting young professionals under 30, allows its members to bring brown bags or skip the meeting’s meal, keeping their dues low. The club also reviewed the occupations of its current members and looked for potential members who were starting their careers in missing classifications in addition to entrepreneurs. Way to go, Yukon Rotarians! Thank you for making the Rotary experience affordable, diverse, and fun!

2018 - 2019 Rotary Citation

Posted by Chris Peterson on Oct 11, 2018

The ROTARY CITATION recognizes Rotary Clubs that support each of our strategic priorities by completing certain activities. Clubs have the entire Rotary Year to achieve the citation’s goals.

Rotary can automatically verify many of your club’s achievements if you keep your club and member information up-to-date in My Rotary. You’ll use online tools like Rotary Club Central to inform Rotary when you achieve other goals.

Rotary's Vision Statement

Rotary’s vision statement: why should you care?

Last June, Rotary's Board of Directors and Trustees approved a new vision statement for the organization: "Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.” Stephanie Urchick, chair of Rotary's Strategic Planning Committee, explains what went into arriving at that statement, and how you can help us chart a course for Rotary to thrive in the years ahead.

District 5470 Social Media Guideline

District 5470 Social Media Guideline

Introduction

The advent of social media means that you can reach your audience directly and have a two-way conversation with each one of them.

Now, instead of writing a message about your post as if you were delivering a speech, you now can make the style more personal.

Whether or not you are new to Facebook, Twitter etc., there need to be a plan, and engaging content.

Important

Have at least two active admins for your Rotary Club page. This way, if one person moves, leaves Rotary, etc. the user name and password are accessible.

Polio Update

Posted by Ken Robinson

Polio as of 31 January 2019

Since 1988, we’ve seen a worldwide reduction in polio cases of 99.9%. For more than two years, we’ve seen wild polio cases in only two countries, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The 144th Session of the Executive Board is meeting from 24 January to 1 February ahead of the World Health Assembly in May. Polio was one of the main talking points in the opening speech by the WHO Director General and current Chair of the Polio Oversight Board, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Concurrently, he also had a stakeholder consultation where he stressed on the need for strengthened and systematic collaboration between partners, health, and non-health actors, and committing to transparent long-term budgets for eradication efforts.

Summary of new viruses this week:

Afghanistan- five WPV1 positive environmental samples;

Pakistan – ten wild polioviruses type 1 (WPV1) positive environmental samples;

Nigeria – two circulating vaccine derived poliovirus (VDPV2) positive environmental samples.

Your work, your dollars, and your commitment will make this happen! Thanks for all you do to eradicate polio.

Strengthening the Rotary Story

In 2011, Rotary launched an initiative to strengthen our image, expand public understanding of what we do, and engage and inspire current and prospective members, donors, and partners. As part of that effort, we established an internal definition of our brand, confirming Rotary as the organization that joins leaders from all continents, cultures, and occupations, who exchange ideas on solving some of the world’s toughest problems, and then take action to bring lasting change to communities around the world. Rotarians have been working hard to tell the story of our impact in their communities. Thanks to their efforts, our public awareness levels globally have grown from 60 percent in 2012 to 75 percent in 2015.
