Dear 2022-23 club officers:
Are you getting ready to engage your members and bring more people into your club in the coming Rotary year? In the Rotary Learning Center’s Club Leadership catalog, you’ll find courses that outline what you’ll need to know to succeed in these club roles:
These learning plans are designed to be completed before you participate in the district training assembly, which is usually held in March, April, or May. You’ll need a My Rotary account to enroll. If you don’t yet have an account, this step-by-step guide will help you to create one.
On mobile devices, links from email or other pages to the Learning Center may not work. Instead, go to the Learning Center through My Rotary, then search for materials or courses. If you haven’t used the Learning Center, go to rotary.org/learn, sign in to My Rotary, and accept the privacy policy before you click the link to your learning plan.
The Facilitator Basics learning plan is another development opportunity that we recommend for anyone who leads learning sessions.
Help other club officers prepare for the year ahead by forwarding this email to them. And if you have questions or comments, please send them to learn@rotary.org.
Sincerely,
Sarah Remijan
Director

Australian charity, Rotary Australia World Community Service, today announced the creation of a national Flood Relief Appeal for people impacted by the current floods in Queensland and Northern NSW.
Australians impacted by the recent floods will be the beneficiaries of money raised by Flood Appeal and will be able to liaise with their local Rotary Club to advise of their needs.
The fundraising campaign was launched today to support the communities in need after yet another disaster impacting Australians.
“The money raised from the Appeal will go directly and quickly to support those impacted, providing essential items and financial support where Disaster relief and Insurance claims won’t stretch,” said Rotary Australia World Community Service Ltd CEO Andrew Woodward.
“The number of disasters Australians have endured in the last few years in addition to the pandemic have been significant and left a lot of people in very difficult financial positions,” Mr Woodward said.
Rotary Australia World Community Service has previously raised money for Bushfire and Drought affected areas and sees this disaster as just another where the network of Rotarians can step in to assist.
Mr Woodward said that he expects the money to help people with the things that insurance or disaster relief funds cannot replace. Whether it be helping farmers build new fences or providing food and clothing to those that have lost everything, the money raised will be crucial in helping families get back on their feet as soon as possible.
Rotary Australia World Community Service is a not-for-profit charity that aims to be the leading Australian charitable organization for people’s wellbeing, supporting Rotarians and Rotary Clubs undertaking humanitarian projects in Australia and overseas.
Tax Deductible Donations to the appeal can be made on the Rotary Australia World Community Service website at https://rawcs.org.au
