Dear All

Re: RI/RIBI Membership Seminar - 5th September 2009

Rotary International will have untold problems in the future if we do not start to increase our membership now. RI and RIBI are working together in the United Kingdom by arranging Membership Seminars in selected areas. Following a successful bid to RI/RIBI, the three Scottish Districts were awarded the funding to hold one of the seminars. The seminar has been organized in the Management Centre of Stirling University, Stirling on the 5th September 2009, 10.30 – 14.00. (Registration/Coffee starts at 09.30 and lunch included)

The seminar will be an opportunity to hear a Keynote and High Profile Speakers on Membership and Retention and also to discuss with other Rotarians, the successes and ways that you may be able to increase your clubs membership. Your input will be crucial to see Rotary moving forward.

We will also hear about the Membership Marketing Campaign which was approved at Conference and the new Rotary Toolkit.

I have managed to negotiate that 33 Rotarians from District 1230 will get free registration, once these places are full each registrant will be charged £8.00 registration fee, initially, to make it fair to all the clubs, the first person from that club registered will get the free registration. The total places available to District 1230 is 60, this is one space reserved for each club to have a member present. Get in early and get your registration free.

Do not miss out on this opportunity to attend this Membership Seminar - register now and be one of the Rotarians to attend. E-mail me: nina.copland@hotmail.co.uk

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on the day at the Seminar.

Yours in Rotary Nina Copland

Date: 16/05/09

EUROSCOLA brings together about 600 students from all over the European Union for a 5 day visit to Strasbourg. During the event, the students participate in various activities and discussions. Most of the discussions and presentations are required to be in French.
Gryffe Valley Rotary Club was delighted to sponsor Katryn Stuart and Jonathon McCreadie, both students at Gryffe High School, to attend the Euroscola event in February this year. John Tuck, Convenor of Youth Activities at the Club, advised that reports from Strasbourg showed that they had made an impressive contribution during their visit.

Katryn and Jonathon attended the Club meeting on April 29th to be presented with certificates personally signed by Hans-Gert Pöttering who is President of the European Parliament. They gave a very polished presentation to the Club on their experiences and the friends they had made during their visit.

Further details of Euroscola can be obtained on Euroscola

PRESS RELEASE

24th April 2009.

The President of the Rotary Club of Rutherglen in the 2006 -2007 year, Jim Fitzpatrick, persuaded the Club to support Maggies by helping to fund the provision of an oncology nurse. His successor for the 2008 – 2008 year, Ian Wilson, and our current President Bill McIntosh, continued this effort and earlier this year we made a final payment to complete our donation of £32,000 to Maggies for this provision.

In addition to this, Ian Wilson has now generously given up the revenue he could obtain from advertising on the sides of his Taxi Cab, to display on the sides of the Cab, the logo, donated by President Bill McIntosh’s National Sign Co, that is being revealed today, publicising some of the charitable work undertaken by Rotary and the Rutherglen Club in particular in supporting Maggies.

The photo below shows Immediate Past President Ian Wilson on the left beside his taxi and President Bill McIntosh with Jen Meenan, fundraiser for Maggie’s, receiving the “very large” cheque on their behalf.
