District #5360 "Family of Rotary"

2005-2006

We realize that our families are an important support to the work of Rotary. We also recognize that our Club members constitute our "extended family" of service, which binds us together in a special way. To support the District theme of "Fun with a Purpose" DG Steve and Marie encourage us to take every opportunity to participate in Club social events… and to create and instigate activities that will encourage fellowship among club members and volunteers!

For the upcoming year, we are asking each Club to simply focus on the following two things:

  1. Share all our "best ideas" by responding to our District Survey… Many Clubs are doing great things already, or have some new plans, and it would be nice to highlight and share those ideas throughout the District. It might create awareness and inspire the rest of us to try some new things for fellowship and support of our members...
  2. Learn more about Rotary Fellowships and encourage participation... Did you know there are over 80 "fellowships", which are groups of Rotarians who share a common interest? It would be fun to know other Rotarians in the District and internationally who share our recreational or professional interests!

Some other suggestions for promoting "Family of Rotary" in our Club activities…

  • Utilize our District "logo" to identify "Family of Rotary" within your Club.
  • Have a Club "Family of Rotary" event
    A family picnic? A walk/run through the park? A hockey game or bowling tournament? A dinner and a movie night? What would be a good way to include the family members of the Rotarians in your Club? Let us know your ideas!
  • Connect with at least one other Rotary Club…
    Plan a joint meeting, a shared project, or simply a "toast" to recognize a neighboring Club!
  • Encourage our family members to join Rotary...
    Some of our most dedicated Rotarians are those whose spouse is also a member. Some Rotarians proudly introduce their sons or daughters as new members. Rotary becomes something that enhances family togetherness, rather than taking away from family time. It would be fun to have special recognition for families in Rotary.

We would really appreciate ideas and assistance with the District FoR Committee!!

Just give me a call!!
