A special note:
Racine Founders Rotary members: As many of you have heard and seen in the local media there has been a lawsuit filed against our Rotary Club relating to an incident that happened during the 2015 Prom. While the incident from 2015 is currently being dealt with by the Rotary International insurance carriers it continues to be important that none of our members' are talking to anyone about it, these are the instructions from the insurer. This incident brings to light some legalities that we need to be aware of. First and foremost please be assured that our Rotary Club is covered under liability insurance provided by Rotary International. As members of our club there is no personal liability for anyone. Because our insurance comes from Rotary International it is also important to let their insurance carriers handle any issues and communications regarding this incident or any future incident. No Rotarian should talk to any potential litigator or family member or anyone that becomes associated with any past or future incident. We always need to let the Rotary International insurer handle any and all communications along these lines. Any questions locally can always be directed to the current Founders Rotary Club President or President-Elect. Going forward we will undoubtedly increase the rigor of our own procedures including waiver forms and other vehicles to better protect Rotary.
Rotarians, please post things to these sites, and when doing so to "hash tag" #RACINEROTARY. This will connect all of our posts to each other.
If you have speaker duty please let me know two weeks in advance who your speaker is or what your program is so I can get the info to the newsletter. If you have any difficulty finding a speaker please attempt to reach out to other club members for assistance and let Patrick Booth or Tom Leuenberger know what the program will be.
Thanks,
Tom Leuenberger
