Presentation of the new R.I. web site

P.D.G. Chris Offer came today to show off the new R.I. web site.  He thanked our club for sending him on the Group Study Exchange.  30 years ago to India.

First thing we understood was just how big the new site is.  It’s huge.  There is 34,000 pages with over 10,000 documents that can be printed off.

These need to be accessible from any of the major computer programs such as Windows or Mac, then be available for tablets, BlackBerry, i-phone or Androids etc.

Many languages are currently available with many more coming.  Everybody wants their own language available.

There is actually 2 web sites there, one for the public use and then one that is adaptable for our own use.  Called “MY Rotary”

This is where you go in and customize it to you.  Put in your details and you can even submit your photograph so other Rotarians know what you look like.

Each Rotarian should sign in and create your own entry.  You must create your log in and own identity.  If you were logged in before that is now gone. Sing in anew now.

There are many on line videos for training purposes.

Grants.  You can apply for grants there. If you are doing a joint project with another club, like we are, you can both log on and apply for matching grants together.

You can see the last 5 years of stats for your club.

We can store data base here.

Please put the money your club has raised in here and also the amount of man hours our club has contributed to the local community.

Use the Rotary showcase pages to show off what your Rotary club has contributed to your local community.

Go ahead and boast here.  This is what we did.

We want to know what Rotary has done world wide.  We may in the top tier of money raised and man hours given in the world but when we are not tracking that we just don’t know.

It is time for Rotary to shine.

Chris was warmly thanked by PDG Leigh.
