D5730 Rotarians are  PEOPLE of ACTION  supporting our communities!
This spring the three major Food Banks in our District found that the number of qualified recipients desperately needing food for their families rose by 60-75% overnight due to the high volume of unemployment as a result of COVID-19.
 
And YOU were there to respond.
 
Together our District Foundation Committee, Finance Committee and our DG Steve Long developed an assistance package of $16,000 from repurposed District Budget Funds matched with District Contingency Funds to be split among:
 
High Plains Food Bank in Amarillo  
South Plains Food Bank in Lubbock   
West Texas Food Bank in Midland/Odessa
 
ALSO....  The second round of District Grants this spring was designated for COVID projects.
 
Three clubs, Amarillo West, Metropolitan in Lubbock, and Midland, designated their grant applications for the three Food Banks. A sincere thanks for your COVID applications that support so many communities in our Rotary District.

We are having a great Rotary year as we all make new connections. I am about half way through the club visits and have found every club to be active and ready to serve their community and world. Sandy and I just returned from our Zone Institute in Denver. Our new Zone 26 is paired with the other new Zone 27. We are now part of the Zone structure that include the entire western half of the United States and a little bit of Canada. We also have Hawaii in our Zone.

RIMDT In Austin, Texas
RI DirectorJohrita and Bruce Solari and our district folks minus Bonnie and Mike.
 
We attended the Multi District Training Conference in Austin and met some fine Rotarians. Our new Zone Director Johrita Solari was a featured speaker and our district officers had a private meeting with Johrita to talk Zone issues. She is a great director and is already helping our zone be more connected. I have been promoting the theme “Rotary Connects the World” at all my visits and everyone seems excited to make new connections for membership and service to our world. We will attend our Zone Institute in early September. DGE Bonnie Pendleton and DGN Brenda DeBons will both receive intensive training and Bonnie will Graduate at a formal “Great Gatsby” party. Watch for pictures to come.

Why and how to host a Rotary Day
Posted on Jul 13, 2018
 
In an effort to increase membership and highlight Rotary’s inspiring work, RI President Barry Rassin is urging clubs and districts to organize fun, informal community events called Rotary Days.
 
"Rotary Days events will offer you the chance to have an impact in your community, build long-term partnerships, increase interest in membership, and improve Rotary’s image," Rassin said.
 
Any club, big or small, can host a Rotary Day. Neighboring clubs can pool their resources and co-host an event, and entire districts can come together for a large-scale Rotary Day.

Rotary Showcase Impact Tracker

Rotary Showcase is an online application that allows Rotarians and Rotaractors to share stories of their clubs’ successful projects with people around the world. In addition, project stories are a source for features in Rotary International blogs and newsletters.

The Showcase’s Impact Tracker shows the impact of each Rotary project in terms of volunteers and volunteer hours, cash contributions, and in-kind donations. It also shows the collective impact of all reported projects.

Success stories posted on Showcase can serve as an inspiration and a model for other Rotary and Rotaractor clubs. Check out this "Impact Tracker" by clicking here.

What Paul Harris Said

Image

"Rotary has a long way to go. One who thinks of the movement as a finished product is indeed short sighted; there is nothing in the past to justify such a view; those who have been long identified with it think of it as having made a beginning only; the grandeur of Rotary must be in the days to come".
