Boost your Club's Public Image and WIN CASH FOR YOUR SERVICE PROJECT!!! We want you to make sure you and your Rotary Club have all of the details on the “We Transformed” District Public Image Contest and have lots of chances to win one of three $500 cash prizes, which is to go towards the local or community service project of your choice. It is an opportunity to increase our positive Rotary Public Image in your Club and throughout our District 7070 with a Rotary Public Image contest called “WE TRANSFORMED”. Take a look........
Why a Positive Public Image for Your Club?: When your Rotary Club has a positive public image, your current members are motivated to be active and prospective members are eager to join your club.
Why Now?: With the national advertising being done by Rotary International, before, during and after the International Convention in Toronto, combined with the new Member Leads Program, we are receiving requests from the public. They are asking: “What Is Rotary?” “How do I find our more about Rotary?” “Where and how do I join?”
Thanks to the tremendous work being done by our District Membership Committee, perspective members who have logged in to our Rotary International website are asking these question. They are being sent to your Rotary Club in your community. One of the first places these prospective members go to find out about Rotary in your community, is to your Rotary Club website and your Rotary Club social media sites.
The Importance: It's important that all of our clubs in District 7070 have websites and social media pages and apps that are up to date and show our clear and consistent Rotary Story, using our current logos and brand image. Our strong positive Rotary brand image brings awareness, inspires and unites us all to show the world that we are Inspired, that we are People of Action and that we have Transformed.
That is why we are having our Rotary Public Image contest called “WE TRANSFORMED”. Has your club Transformed? Have you Transformed? This is your opportunity.
To find out all about the contest and the rules, be sure to go to the District 7070 website, look under the Public Image Tab and take a look at the “We Transformed” Public Image Contest. Here are just some of the Contest Details.
