President 2018-19
Rotary Club of East Nassau
New Providence, Bahamas
Since Rotary was founded 113 years ago, its role in the world and in the lives of its members has been in a state of continuous evolution. In its earliest days, Rotary offered its members a way to find fellowship and friendship and to build connections within their communities. Soon after, service found a place in Rotary, and as our organization expanded, so did its influence. In time, Rotary’s service, supported by our Rotary Foundation, would change the lives of families and communities across the world. We formed partnerships and focused our service to increase our impact. We launched the world’s largest public-private health initiative, partnering with governments, international organizations, and countless local and regional health agencies to eradicate polio. More and more, our members came to us seeking not just friendship but a way to take action for good.
Rotary sti
ll is, and always will be, the organization Paul Harris envisioned: a place where people from every corner of the earth can come together to become something greater than themselves. Yet Rotary today offers something of singular and enduring value: the chance to be part of a global network of people who have the talent and the drive to change the world. We are men and women who believe in the power of community action to make a global impact — and together, we have the capacity and the resources to achieve almost anything.
Globally, Rotary is more relevant than ever before, and its potential for good is vast. Unfortunately, not enough people fully understand what Rotary is and does. Even within our clubs, many Rotarians don’t know enough about Rotary to take full advantage of what Rotary membership offers.
Rotary service transforms lives and communities. To achieve even more of that truly transformational service, we need to think differently about our role in Rotary, and Rotary’s role in the world. We need to put more emphasis on our public image, using social media to build our membership and attract the partners that can help us scale up our service. We need to focus on larger projects that have a more lasting impact, taking the time to research and plan work that spans Rotary years and terms of office. Most important of all, we need to Be the Inspiration for positive change, inspiring our clubs, our communities, and our organization to face today’s challenges head on, with courage, optimism, and creativity.
As Paul Harris put it, “Rotary is a microcosm of a world at peace, a model which nations will do well to follow.” To me, Rotary is not only a model but an inspiration. It shows us what is possible, inspires us to reach for it, and gives us a path to act — and to Be the Inspiration to our world.

Has your club recorded the names of its board members for 2018-19 on this, the D9370 ClubRunner web? For those clubs which have not yet done so, please be aware that this needs to be done as soon as possible - in fact it should already have been done!
Even if your club's new board is not yet finalised please, at the very least, record the names of your incoming President and Secretary.
Current club executives (Presidents, PEs, Secretaries, Treasurers and Executive Secretaries) are reminded that all such updating should now be done in this ClubRunner web, and NOT in RI's MyRotary - just the same as the regular updating of new, existing and past members.
Please bring this to your club President's and Secretary's attention - in case they don't see this notice.
Please note carefully when defining club executives - the item labelled "Title" does NOT mean you should enter "Mr", "Dr" "Mrs" etc as some clubs have mistakenly done. Instead, it refers to the member's title in the club. In many cases this will be exactly the same as the member's "Position" - that is "President", "Secretary" and so on, and should be entered as such. It is left to each club to enter whatever "Title" they wish to use for each board member. It is important for Club and District reporting purposes that these titles be meaningful.
Please check that your club has interpreted the term "Title" correctly and make any necessary changes. We will be discussing this ambiguity with ClubRunner and asking them to look into the matter.
For the benefit of those clubs who have not yet defined their boards for 2018-19, you may wish to utilise CR's special function "Carry over Executive and Director Positions to the Next Year" - to be found near the bottom of the Define Club Executives page. This will carry over only the current year's titles and positions, not the incumbents' names. The latter, together with any new positions, should then be entered.
Please note that with effect from 1 July 2018 Hilary Augustus will continue as the D9370 Secretary/Administrator while Karen de Jager will take the position of DG's Secretary |

Five years since its debut, Rotary Club Central is getting a big upgrade!
RI has completely redesigned RCC with a fresh, modern interface. Pages load faster, navigation is more intuitive, and easy-to-read charts and graphs make past and current club data more accessible. It is scheduled to be rolled out during July 2017.
You can read more about the new RCC here.
If YOUR club hasn't yet started using Rotary Club Central, NOW is the time to get going with it. Just click here. You will need to login with your RI account (note - this is NOT the same as your ClubRunner account!), or if you don't yet have an RI account, you can easily create one. Specific club executives can (indeed, must) update RCC for their club - ordinary members can only view it.

A new document is available on the D9370 website which will help to bring clarity to the various changes which have taken place in Foundation funding over the past few years. For three years, TRF ran a pilot project called the Future Vision Plan with the objective of making funding from TRF clearer to understand, more powerful in its influence and more cost effective for the Foundation. At the end of the three year trial, TRF adopted the Future Vision Plan (modified where experience had indicated this would be beneficial) and this is now in place as the new Grants model, effective 01 July 2015.

Attention D9370 AGs, Presidents and Secretaries.
Please note: Since we implemented ClubRunner in July 2013 it is essential that all changes to both club and membership data be made through ClubRunner - rather than through RI's My Rotary area. This includes the entry of new members as well as the termination of departing members.
Some club executives are STILL overlooking this vital point, resulting in discrepancies between RI's data and that of D9370.

Club Executives are reminded that apart from promptly maintaining their clubs' membership data through ClubRunner (see news item above), they should also start (or continue) making use of Rotary Club Central to simplify and record their planning, monitoring and achievement of goals.
- It's a one-stop shop.
- It eliminates paper.
- It fosters continuity in leadership.
- It enables clubs to track their progress.
- It creates transparency.
- It showcases the important work that Rotary does worldwide.
You'll find everything you need at Rotary's Brand Centre.
And you can even create your own Rotary club logo.

For your convenience, Rotary Africa is now available in digital format. If you don't yet receive your copy digitally ...
For the information of Club Secretaries.
When a club wishes to change a member's type from Active to Honorary, the club secretary (or other executive) needs to do two things:-
- In the member's profile in CR, change the "Membership Type" from Active to Honorary (in the profile's "Rotary" tab). This will keep your district records up to date for billing purposes.
- Because there is no integration between CR and RI for this specific type of change, you also need to make a parallel change in RI's My Rotary - that is, change the Member Type from Active to Honorary. This will keep your RI records up to date for billing purposes.
This is one of the very few changes (if not the only one) that need to be made in RI as well as in ClubRunner. As all club secretaries know, all other changes (new members, terminated members or updated member information) need (and should) only be made in CR.
