Our District Governor's November Message

So, thank you to what you give towards this work – either personally or through your club. Please though, do not lessen your efforts towards supporting the Rotary Foundation – which has been recognized by both Charity Navigator (scoring 100 out of 100) and Charity Watch (A-plus rating). Out of interest,you might like to know that Singapore clubs donate around US$615 per head p.a. Hong Kong US$451 per head p.a. in comparison to the s $245 and our own $70.

 

I am also pleased to say that so far this year District membership has risen by 21 net. Rotorua Passport Club is planning to be Chartered in January – which will increase the District’s membership by a similar amount. Thames Rotary Club is also working on creating a Satellite Club in Whitianga. Is there scope for either a Satellite or a Passport club in your area? Have you considered approaching companies re the possibility of Corporate Membership? We have made a good start on Membership – let’s see if we can keep up the good work.

 

On a lighter note - Honolulu Convention registrations from this District now stand at 43. I also know that several people have told me that they are going – but have not registered yet. An excellent response but also a good opportunity for those who are thinking that one day they might go to a convention – to attend one relatively close to home and go along with a good number of attendees from our own District.
