Rotary Brand News

Although most of the public knows our name, our latest research tells us that too many prospective members or supporters do not fully understand Rotary. They don’t know what we stand for and what we do in local communities. And nearly 60 percent of those surveyed said they were unaware that a Rotary club exists in their own community.

Rotary Citation 2018-19

The Rotary Citation awarded by Rotary International helps ensure that clubs are strong in several core areas. It should be very achievable for most clubs in our district.

Rotary Supplies Vendors

Many clubs and district committee chairs have used National Awards4U and Russell Hampton for various supplies. As announced by email and on websites, National Awards 4U has been purchased by Russell Hampton.

Dues Payments to Rotary International

Rotary International Dues are billed semi-annually. Statements were sent from Rotary International by email recently and are payable upon receipt.

Club Officer Courses at Rotary.org

All 2018-19 Club Officers received information by email from Rotary on November 19 about a new Learning Center at Rotary.org. Position-specific training is available for various club officer and executive positions.

District Treasurer Changes from Mastera to Bren

Jim Mastera Gary Bren

Effective with the 2018-19 Rotary Year, the District Treasurer will be Gary Bren (contact information below).

We want to thank Jim Mastera for his leadership, dedication and commitment to the success of Rotary District 5650 during his numerous years of service.

ClubRunner Smartphone App

Clubs can easily email other clubs and District 5650 leadership! Clubs with ClubRunner Subscriptions can reach other clubs easily through their Club Websites. And, there are District Directories including an Excel listing of Presidents and Executives available to any member. Click here for the"How to Guide".

Proper Use of Rotary Logos - Rotary Brand

Rotary International created a new brand about 5 years ago. All items related to Rotary should now contain that brand. To help clubs comply, there is great information at Rotary.org / Brand Center including tools to create custom logos, brochures and more. Click here for the Visual Identity Guide.

Rotary International Addresses General Data Protection Regulation

From Rotary International: The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) takes effect 25 May. Because Rotary staff members process the personal data of our European members, Rotaractors, program participants, and others, we’re obligated to comply with this new data privacy law.

Click here to read the full email about GDPR that was sent to Rotary Club Officers.

Are You Holding a Club Event?

Clubs in Rotary District 5650 are asked to share information about events if those events are open to everyone (such as fundraisers) or will impact district leadership (such as District Governor). Event information can be posted to the District Calendar and the District Website.

District Directory

The District Directory information is available online to ALL ROTARIANS in Rotary District 5650. Select My District Rotary then District Directory. You will be required to logon* to view the directory.

Note: The use of the Rotary District 5650 Directory is for official Rotary District 5650 business only.

Rotary Insurance Program and Cost

U.S. Rotary Club and District Liability Insurance Program - Insurance Update to Rotary Clubs & Districts was sent by email from Rotary International Risk Management on 6-8-18. Click here for a copy or read more below.

Rotary International Email Communications Policy

Rotary International (RI) has instituted this communication policy: in most cases “whenever RI sends something to one officer, it will go to all officers”.

The Officers "as identified by Rotary International" include: President, Secretary, Treasurer, Foundation Chair, Membership Chair, and Club Executive Secretary/Director (if applicable). The members holding these positions must be identified (and authorized) by someone that is currently an officer. It is suggested that the President or Secretary review the information at Rotary.org regularly to ensure the the members are identified for those positions.
