A suggestion to the District Advisory Council, Assistant Governors and Committee Chairs : Tell everyone about what your committee is doing and how the clubs can connect with you.
A suggestion to Club Presidents: There is a place in the Newsletter for News from Clubs. What have you accomplished that you would announce to everyone in the District? (Please note that we would love to see your "accomplishments", not "fundraisers" and not "cheque presentations").
NOTE TO CLUB PRESIDENTS: DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE STILL 43 ROTARIANS IN OUR DISTRICT THAT DO NOT GET THIS NEWSLETTER BECAUSE THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS IS NOT UP TO DATE IN CLUBRUNNER? PLEASE ASK YOUR ALL OF YOU MEMBERS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS IS CORRECT IN CLUBRUNNER.
Thanks everyone!
