Important Information from the District
Bi-District Project Fair
 

MULTI-DISTRICT PROJECT FAIR FAQ

ALL ARE INVITED TO THE PROJECT FAIR. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BRING A PROJECT. 
 
What is a Rotary International Multi-District Project Fair?
It’s an event where Clubs from multiple countries (in this case Mexico and the United States) showcase their Projects to with the objective of potentially partnering with each other.
What’s the purpose of a Rotary International Multi-District Project Fair?
There are 3 key purposes:
  • Promote friendship between all clubs of different international districts.
  • Help small and/or new Rotary Clubs get involved in International Projects, learn how District and Global Grants work and can help them with their community projects
  • Partnership with Clubs to leverage Rotary Foundation funds to maximize funding possibilities for projects. In some cases this may lead to completion of a project that otherwise could not be completed because of lack of funding.
Who can attend a RIPF?
Whether or not your club has a project, all clubs are invited.
How can a Club showcase a Project at a RIPF?
 Clubs presenting Projects must be prepared with complete information. This would include type of project, location, how many people will be benefit, if there are more sponsors, how much time will it take to complete, total cost, who will be in charge of the completion, how much money is the club investing, how much money is needed for completion, type of grant requested, pictures, video, etc.
Can a Club with no projects to showcase attend?
Sure, the RIPF needs Clubs with no projects and clubs with projects, to explore working together for a completion of a project.
Are there other benefits for Rotarians that attend?
Yes, all attendees will Connect with Rotarians from their District and Districts from other areas and countries. You will share ideas and plan future partnerships for the 2020 Rotary International Multi-District Project Fair.
Can a Club partner with another Club?
Yes, one Club can partner with another for years, but need to be open to participate with other Clubs too. The purpose of the RIPF is that all clubs participate with different clubs not just one.
 
 
A Leaf to the Tree from the DG - August 2019
August is Membership and New Club Development month. To celebrate, I would suggest you invite guests to attend your Rotary meetings and invite them to become a member. Also, for New Club Development, Immediate Past District Governor (IPDG) Andy Hagan is working on several new satellite clubs. One of them that should come to fruition soon is at Rancho Viejo in Olmito and will be a satellite of the Brownsville Sunrise Club. The year is just getting started but I already see some positive membership growth momentum. One of the symbolisms of the green theme shirts this year is positive growth so let’s be in the “green” at the end of the year.

World Polio Day and Rotary Showcase Week
As you approach the new Rotary year, your Zone Regional team has three (3) exciting opportunities for your club's Trilogy Continuum (Foundation, Membership, and Public Image, Chairs).

1. October 24, 2019: World Polio Day: One Day. One Focus: Ending Polio

2. February 16-22, 2020: Rotary Showcase: One Week. One Focus: Rotary Showcase Week

3. People of Action Planning Tool for Rotary Clubs

The Trilogy Continuum Team’s efforts working together are more significant than working separately.
It all starts with PUBLIC IMAGE. This has a direct impact on:
  • Attracting new members,
  • Engaging new and current members and
  • Retaining your current members.
This directly impacts your FOUNDATION giving and projects;
The work of your Foundation builds your PUBLIC IMAGE on the world stage and in your own communities.
The synergy of working together, will provide better results and greater success than ever before.
 
If there is any way one of us or our team may assist you, please let us know.

Pints for Polio Corpus Christi 2019

Pints for Polio Corpus Christi 2019 October 22nd at Brewster Street

 
All,
 
 
Rotarians—Feel free to change the form with your club’s contact information.  But if you don’t, that’s fine—I’ll make sure Lysa credits the correct Corpus Christi club for sponsors.
 
This is not a District 5930 event.  The monies raised through sponsorships and ticket sales are donated by the CC Clubs to Polio Plus.
 
Last year was a smashing success and this year will be even better!  Save the date and plan to attend.  We look forward to seeing you! 
 
We are “this close” to eradicating Polio.  Let’s get this done.
 
Thanks,
 
Alissa Adkins
District 5930 End Polio Now Coordinator (Central)
