Tactical ways to use social media to promote Rotary
Social media has revolutionized the way we connect with our friends, family and network. It's become a portal of advocacy which has the power to influence our actions. How are you using your social media networks to promote your club activities and Rotary? Sometimes it may even seem as though they make no difference in your overall strategy, but with a few tweaks, connecting with your audience can become easier.
This week’s Rotary Foundation Thought is about Every Rotarian, Every Year.
"Our world is filled with conflict and strife, but I believe that fundamentally, people are more alike than they are different. I believe the underlying causes of most of the conflict and strife are poverty, disease, hunger, and illiteracy. The work of The Rotary Foundation addresses all of these critical needs. My annual gifts to The Rotary Foundation enable me to do my small part, and these gifts are magnified by being added to The Rotary Foundation‘s resources to bring meaningful help to people in need." — Past District Governor Teree Bergman
Rotary International exists in 163 countries and cuts across dozens of languages, political and social structures, customs, religions, and traditions. How is it that all of the more than 31,000 Rotary clubs of the world operate in almost identical style? The primary answer is the Standard Rotary Club Constitution.
One of the conditions to receive a charter to become a Rotary club is to accept the Standard Rotary Club Constitution, originally adopted in 1922. This document outlines administrative techniques for clubs to follow in holding weekly meetings, procedures for membership and classifications, conditions of attendance, payment of dues, and other policies relating to public issues and political positions.
When the Standard Rotary Club Constitution was accepted, it was agreed that all existing clubs could continue to follow their current constitution. Although most of those early clubs have subsequently endorsed the standard constitution, a few pre-1922 clubs still conduct their club affairs according to their former constitutional provisions.
