By now everyone in the District should have heard about DG Don's P.I.P.E. Dreams for D7820.
In addition to seeking help from talented and committed Rotarians throughout the district to develop, by June 30, 2018 , sustainable district strategies for each of Public Image, Peace and the Environment, DG Don is asking each club to take some simple steps to build momentum and awareness of P.I.P.E. Dreams in our District. So far, the reaction from around the district has been very positive.
The P.I.PE. Dreams are:
For Public Image - let's use 2017-18 as a year to take a look at our Rotary club websites, brochures and other promotional materials and bring them up to date for the new brand standards introduced by Rotary International. If we all are up to date - it makes us all look better. Go to the Brand Center on Rotary.org for more details.
For Peace, let's use 2017-18 as a year for all clubs to devote at least one club meeting to Peace. That means one week's program, speaker or activity should be related to peace and conflict resolution. Share your ideas with your Assistant Governor and take pictures for social media. Send in your pictures and we will show them at the 2018 District Conference in St. John's when we have a "white out" for peace!
For Environment, let's use 2017-18 as a year for all clubs to devote at least one club meeting to the Environment. That means one week's program, speaker or activity should be related to the environment. An easy way to do this is to participate in RI President Ian Riseley's "Plant a Tree" challenge. Every Rotary club in the world is challenged to plant one tree for each member of their club between July 1, 2017 and April 22, 2018 (Earth Day). Make it fun, make it memorable, make it engaging. You choose how to participate! Share your ideas and projects with your Assistant Governor and take pictures for social media. Send in your pictures and we will show them at the 2018 District Conference in St. John's to demonstrate how we have planted over 1600 trees in our district to "Protect Planet Earth" and to support sustainable service in our communities and around the world.
With your help even P.I.P.E. Dreams can become a reality!
