Connection - knowing the good we do!

As Rotarians, do we know what wonderful work that is being done in our own backyard?
Is it being communicated?  Are we receiving information and passing it on?

The advantages are so great:

• Increased knowledge of Rotary's work
• Increased sense of the importance of our world wide work serving others
• Providing another reason to invite others to join the efforts to make this world a better place
• Increasing the involvement of members n the work towards a more peaceful world

Let's communicate more effectively.  Let's connect!

Water projects seeking sponsors…
Rotary NZ regularly receives requests from Tanzanian Rotary clubs seeking support for installation of rainwater harvesting systems in schools and communities. The projects are managed by local Rotary clubs who have partnered with many New Zealand Rotary clubs over the past 15 years. Stuart Batty would be pleased to hear from any club or Rotarian wishing to sponsor such vital projects. Non-Rotarians are also contributing to a number of these projects through donations to Rotary New Zealand.

This is a global project gaining great momentum.
On or around 30 September Rotarians around the world will be running, walking, moving in some way to raise money for fresh water projects.  I encourage you to get your Club involved, register your activity on the web site and have your members support a great humanitarian effort.

John Hewko, General Secretary of Rotary International, is supportive as are many in our organisation.  Visit the web site to find out more or just search 'run4water' on this Blog site.

Increased profile needs action

Do you want your Rotary Clubs to increase their profile?  Is there a real drive to heighten the awareness of Rotary in your community?  Are Clubs keen to increase their membership?  Is there a desire to get serious about attracting new interest in our organisation?  

A solution.

Encourage your Club to adopt a high profile project - providing a fresh focus, new energy and public presence.

One such project is the GlobalRun4Water project which is going viral!

Be part of a global group of Rotarians raising funds for water projects by involving the community.  The web site contains practical advice as to the how to go about creating an event.

Lets make a big splash for Clean Water!

The fight is on to completely eliminate polio from the planet

Rotary is continuing the fight against polio and the media need to spread the word.

We are 'this close' to stamping out polio and need a concerted effort to finish the job!
