It will contain the latest Public Image news. We need to enhance our Public Image. It is our task to facilitate this and one method is using the Blog. We will be updating it on a regular basis. Do check it out and add the link to your Club web site and Bulletin.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
The Rotary Foundation is a very significant part of the vitality of
every club as every club will participate in at least some of their
programmes and most support the Rotary Foundation through donations.
Therefore it make sense for every club to use the Centennial as a way
for strengthening Rotary among members and in their community; this will
be a significant motivational (membership) and marketing (publicity)
opportunity not to be missed. Start planning to maximise this
opportunity now.</span><br />

At Rotary Institute in Nelson, RI Director Elect Noel Trevaskis stated that the majority of those who leave Rotary comment that "we know no more about Rotary than when we joined".<br />
<br />
This lack of knowledge about Rotary means that they did not know how, or have the confidence to, become engaged.<br />
<br />
Yet there are in place some ready tools and opportunities that any club can make known and available to their members. Let's consider a few in brief:<br />
<br />
Rotary Leadership Institute (or if you like 'Rotary Learning and Information'): This provides an understanding of the breadth about Rotary along with an understanding where Rotarians can go for more information to add a depth of knowledge as they have a practical need. New Rotarians (and many longer-serving) have found this absolutely invaluable in helping them become engaged and enthusiastic in Rotary to the delight of their clubs who are always wanting members to take the lead on projects and to invigorate the club with new ideas.<br />
<br />
District Training events .... obvious... say no more. Other than there has been a huge amount of work using Rotarians who are professional trainers to ensure the delivery of Rotary training is excellent so if you have members who went to district training a few years ago and either it was "a waste of time" or they have "been there, done that" then they may wish to go again or at least not discourage others who would benefit from going, from going.<br />
<br />
MyRotary has a huge resource that is designed to educate Rotarians about specific roles and the various programs and aspects of Rotary but who want to do this at their own pace. This ranges from information pages through to actual learning modules.<br />
<br />
The options just keep coming ... what about the many free newsletters that members can subscribe to and have delivered straight to their Inbox. Many are tailored to assist people in specific roles and as such are incredibly useful, and can be unsubscribed from at any time. From a personal development perspective, many have information that members can use in their business and personal lives.<br />
<br />
... not to forget our new-look and very well thought of <i>Rotary Down Under</i> magazine! You haven't read it lately then do so as you will find it is quite changed from this time last year. Most Rotarians who are serious about their Rotary at least skim thorough this each month and often will pick out an item or two they will read in full. Even a few might read it cover to cover but they would be rare but that is not the point ... just picking up a fact here or interesting point there makes us all better Rotarians, so for that fact alone it is worth members taking the magazine out of its cover.<br />
<br />
Then of course clubs can use the magazine and any other Rotary source to slip the odd fact into the club meeting ... switched-on Sergeants know the value of this to extract a few coins from those who cannot answer facts turned into questions!<br />
<br />
And there is more. Clubs NEED to encourage and assist members to learn about Rotary but equally, individual Rotarians from their first day in Rotary have an absolute right to go to RLI, district training, look at the website and more.<br />
<br />
We all know the above but it is only those who actually DO the above who are succeeding in creating vibrant clubs. So what about it ....<br />

Does your website portray your club in the best manner? Can visitors to your website get the information they need and from there is it easy and clear who they can contact for more?<br />
<br />
Here is a link to follow to a post that will be useful in answering the questions:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>How can you make your website more engaging?</li>
<li>How can you improve relevance?</li>
<li>How can you offer marketing value?</li>

<br />
Now to answer your question ... why the monkey? What is its relevance?<br />
<br />
The answer is nothing ... much like some Rotary websites. On second thoughts ... the monkey did capture your curiosity causing you to read this post. <br />

Really? YES WE ARE AND PROUD OF IT<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We have all heard of it. We have all seen it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The Rotary project where no-one coming along knows it is a Rotary project.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Not your club I am sure because you all look the part in your club polos, hats or aprons and everywhere people look there are Rotary banners and more.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And at other times your members are no doubt proudly wearing their Rotary pins. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Such is the power of the Rotary emblem ... we too often underestimate its importance.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Which would you choose?<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Burleigh Heads Rotary recently had a superb project in Nauru and that will soon receive some well deserved publicity but what we want to illustrate is the impact possible from the way you present your photos.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">They could have done what far too many Rotary projects do and take a boring line up that does nothing to inspire ... here is what that would look like:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcEPqbxlosW2r8TrZOXUem9TU2Vc53QIbMOSNAnmPoevqjCb0D-QGVQb1jS3Aaj9E-HpU3ZwtIiluRnlQCIJWylR9QqtY3wJb5WYwMsC7alNoPyIraLaj5bY-oH_z9KM1kaVC2JoD-gbA2/s1600/Pic+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcEPqbxlosW2r8TrZOXUem9TU2Vc53QIbMOSNAnmPoevqjCb0D-QGVQb1jS3Aaj9E-HpU3ZwtIiluRnlQCIJWylR9QqtY3wJb5WYwMsC7alNoPyIraLaj5bY-oH_z9KM1kaVC2JoD-gbA2/s320/Pic+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is good for record keeping or as a momento but not for publicity that excites.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">But Burleigh Heads Rotary are far too experienced at getting great publicity so what they really took was this:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7NTVkQwPzg74LZs6oBclCxX_MMTC9TDXIsMkaDsIrnLjQfGbHxUfCIBybRM-AQhTqUxY-wEQuPJ0QLg-P_48FMdz0oI_z4FVz__Dt9ATWGaXyvpkX_acnkXXjBK98I82s3G4mCvUkZqpv/s1600/Pic+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7NTVkQwPzg74LZs6oBclCxX_MMTC9TDXIsMkaDsIrnLjQfGbHxUfCIBybRM-AQhTqUxY-wEQuPJ0QLg-P_48FMdz0oI_z4FVz__Dt9ATWGaXyvpkX_acnkXXjBK98I82s3G4mCvUkZqpv/s400/Pic+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">No wonder they get so many people 'on side' and helping their projects ... a 'six' every time from this exciting club.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So next time you take a photo at a project think about how you can make this interesting for your readers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Show the sweat, not the cheque. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you are donating funds, no line-ups or cheque presentations ... instead get a photo of what the money bought being used. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And show faces please ... backs of heads and part obscured faces are hardly inviting.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Remember the specs:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">minimum 300kb but preferably much higher-res quality (send the full sized photo as it came off the camera as 5 MB can be cropped to make an even better photo that 300kb)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">action oriented</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">close up </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">be creative - think of the audience</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Faces, faces, faces </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Send as an ATTACHED picture file in jpeg ... do NOT embed in the email or a document</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A good photo trumps anything else in getting publicity ... the text of an article can always be improved but a poor photo is always a poor photo.</span><br />

<div style="background: white; line-height: 14.5pt; margin: 4.5pt 0cm;">
<span style="color: #141823; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.5pt;">Rotary New Zealand continue
to monitor the situation in Nepal following the Earthquake on 25 April 2015 and
which will now include the regions affected by the Earthquake of 13 May 2015.
With respected Rotarians in Nepal who have had associations with Rotary Clubs
in New Zealand over many years, donors can be confident that their money will
be managed with utmost integrity, accountability and reporting. They continue
to have dialogue with people from New Zealand on the ground. “The terrain and
weather conditions in Nepal are such that there are demands most people who
haven’t visited there cannot imagine” their spokesperson said. Rotary New
Zealand’s response will be with reconstruction and rehabilitation phase and
they are in contact with a number of New Zealand Rotary clubs who have
partnered with clubs in Nepal over many years with good outcomes. Rotary is
proud of the community to community partnerships between New Zealand and Nepal.
They will work also with them also in the coming months. The public of
New Zealand are responding to its appeal. Those who still wish to make their
donation should do it now which will enable them to assess the level of
activities that they will support.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
This is a week out, as starting 11th May, not 4th May as attached, but gives you an idea of campaign. We are doing a combination of National adverts (generic) & Regional ones using local Rotarians. (wonder if you can guess who they are in your local area........)<br />
<br />
Please advise your clubs, so they know this is coming up, & use to your advantage for membership growth.<br />

<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The value of the

<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">We have received many
calls and emails from people representing Ni Vanuatu people in New Zealand and
New Zealand residents from other Pacific countries with requests to assist them
to send containers of donations in kind and other goods. Each is being
considered, but not encouraged.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The
reasons are many, essentially to protect the Vanuatu economy and not impair the
livelihood of the established business community. A lot of DIK sent by well
wishers is often inappropriate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">A priority for funding
is re-establishment of safer drinking water. 75 communities are being
considered to provide potable water and reduce the sanitation and health
consequences which arise from water sources damaged by the cyclone.
Following on from a successful project in Samoa as a result of the last Cyclone
devastating that country, water harvesting roofs and tanks maybe installed
in schools in strategic locations which community members can access
which will prevent the closure of schools due to sanitation and health concerns.

Volunteer<span style="color: #1f497d;"> </span>Peter Wilson ha<span style="color: #1f497d;">s</span> arrived in Vanuatu to undertake needs
assessments having determined a number of islands as those we should support
given that Rotary has provided infrastructure to their communities in the past
and know the islands well. Rotarians in Vanuatu have suffered loss to homes and
businesses and need support whilst they tend to their own personal issues.
Trauma is an issue often forgotten at these times.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">About
a year ago, Rotary carried out a survey with a simple question: How can we bring
our youth program logos closer to Rotary and align them with our new visual
guidelines? From the responses, it was made clear that any change
should include Rotary, be consistent with our voice and visual identity, and

<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">As
you know, these programs have made a positive difference in our world for
decades. We’ve developed leaders through RYLA, built international
understanding through Rotary Youth Exchange, and worked side-by-side with
Interactors and Rotaractors to take action in our communities. But, just like
Rotary, these programs have never received the recognition they deserve.
Members of the public often don’t know our programs, why they matter, and how
they are connected to Rotary’s story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">In
the coming days, we will be rolling out a new visual identity for these
programs that helps make that connection to Rotary more clear. Now when we
continue to tell our inspiring story of the great work these young leaders make
in communities around the world, they will know it is an extension of the
Rotary brand. This new visual identity won’t replace your memories — the framed
RYLA certificate on your wall, the well-loved Interact T-shirts in your drawer,
or the many Youth Exchange pins on your blazer. It won’t erase your fondness
for your Rotaract lapel pin or traditional club banner. Instead, we hope our
effort builds on those positive feelings and gives you new ways to share your
Rotary story with even more young leaders worldwide.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div style="line-height: 18pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">After
all, there is no better Rotary brand than youth. You are Rotary’s values in
action. You are our voice. And together we can share your Rotary experience
with even more leaders.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
Our new Rotary theme for 2015-16 revealed. Following, parts from our Rotary International President-elect K.R. "Ravi" Ravindran speech in San Diego.<br />
<br />
Using their talents, expertise, and leadership, Rotary members worldwide are asked to be gifts to the world this upcoming 2015-16 Rotary year.<br />
<br />
"All of you have been given so many gifts. And you have now been given this great gift: one year to take all your talents, all your gifts, everything that you are and can become -- and Be a Gift to the World," said Ravindran, revealing his presidential theme at the annual five-day training meeting in San Diego, California, USA. "You have one year to take that potential and turn it into reality. One year to lead the clubs in your district and transform the lives of others. The time is so short, yet there is so much to be done."<div class="blogger-post-footer">Rotary Public Image Blog - promoting the good work Rotary does in the community and internationally.</div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02106051148217946359noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7779912936526945381.post-22647958701812017832015-01-08T21:14:00.001+13:002015-01-08T21:14:37.995+13:00New Rotary Month Themes
