RECOGNITION OPPORTUNITIES
 
Beginning this Rotary year there have been changes to Rotary Foundation club banners. 
 
1. 100% EREY Sustaining Member banner (merging the 100% EREY & 100% Sustaining Member banners)   
2. 100% Foundation Giving banner (new banner)
3. 100% Paul Harris Society Club (new banner)
 
*To learn more about club banners and other recognition updates, visit page 9 in the Resource Guide.
 
Note: These changes go into effect for the current 2015-16 Rotary year and do not impact the prior 2014-15 Rotary year.  In October/November, Rotary International will send out the 2014-15 club banners (ie: 100% EREY, Sustaining Member, and Top 3 Per Capita banners) to the current district governor.   
 
 
PRESENTATIONS 
 
I want to share the two presentations delivered during the Every Rotarian, Every Year (EREY) and Paul Harris Society (PHS) breakout sessions at the past Rotary International Convention in Brazil since there is some good content on the notes pages which you can borrow for your own presentations.

INFOGRAPHICS
 
Use these infographics to educate and inspire Foundation support. You can blow up these images to make colorful posters, share on social media, insert in your newsletters or on your websites.  Don’t forget about sharing the EREY Adds from The Rotarian magazine as well to promote giving to the Annual Fund!

-Your personal information, including your profile and My Rotary discussions, will not be shared.
-Your access remains the same.
-You can end shared access at any time.
