What makes a story newsworthy? How do you know which journalists and publications will best suit your story? In this session, you will learn best practices for approaching the media, cultivating relationships with journalists, and conveying your messages during interviews.
Rotary’s members are our greatest assets. When our membership is strong, our clubs are more vibrant, Rotary has greater visibility, and our members have more resources to help communities flourish. During this session, we will look at the state of Rotary’s membership: how we got here, who is joining, who is leaving, and the opportunities for us all to make membership a top priority.
To better promote Rotary, we need to highlight our values and objectives and tie them to membership growth. In this session, you’ll learn best practices to attract new people of action, particularly among younger generations. Rotarian leaders at the club, district, and international levels will share their experiences.

Rotary Club of Burnham Beeches – Club Guide 7
8. Why is Rotary Special?
Joining a voluntary organisation is a special step for most of us.
We:
v are a group of like minded people with whom we can share fellowship
v have a lot of fun & satisfaction from what we enjoy and do
v want to put something back into the broader Community
Rotary is much more than a pleasant club with weekly supper and meetings. We are part of
a worldwide organisation which allows each of us to give as little or as much we can to help
others while enjoying mutual fellowship.
Always remember, our motto is “Service Above Self”
Many of us come from demanding business & professional environments where we recognise
the rewards that come from being outward looking. However, we are not looking for an
alternative job!
The beauty of Rotary is that it expands our lives rather than taking over. We are able to give
of ourselves to others when we can.
The days when Rotary was just an adjunct to business, have long passed. Further, when we
travel both within the UK & worldwide, we find a ready fraternity of Rotarians with whom we
can feel an immediate affinity.

14. Attendance & Etiquette
We aim to be a friendly and relaxed Club but some policies and procedures help the
smooth running of the Club and seek to respect the wishes of the majority.
__________________________________________________
~ Attendance
Hopefully you will be able to attend many meetings. On occasions that you are unable, there
are several ways to advise the Steward (and the caterers) either in advance or at short notice.
Then you can be credited £12 for meals not taken.
If you will be away for a prolonged period – say longer than a month - you should register your
absence with the Club Secretary.
~ Dress Code
Rotarians should wear “business dress” for meetings. This implies a suit, blazer or sports
jacket for men and its equivalent for women.
~ Badges & Regalia
Rotary lapel badges are worn at all meetings – and indeed as a badge of honour whenever this
is practicable.
Officers’ (President and President Elect) wear their insignia at all RCBB meetings.

15. How do I join?
Usually you are invited to join a Rotary Club.
However whether you contact us in the first instance or are invited along by a friend
who is a Rotarian you are sure to be shown a warm welcome.
You will be assigned a “buddy” from amongst our members who will make sure that you
get regular invitations, introduce you to other members and make sure that you get a
good appreciation of what belonging to Rotary Club of Burnham Beeches is like.
Also to help you decide you should come to at least 4 of our meetings, one of which
must be a Business Meeting.
You will then make an application which will then be considered by the Club and you will
be formally inducted at a meeting by the Club President.
After induction you will be assigned to one or more committees taking into account the
interests you expressed.
Then you will be a Rotarian!

21. MicroCredit in Malawi
Rotary Hand Up for Africa
We’ve Made It!
As a result of the enthusiasm and support of Clubs in District 1090, over the last
five years, incredibly we have just achieved and exceeded our original, and then
seemingly unobtainable, stretch target of £100,000.
Our latest cheque to Opportunity International brings the sum raised by clubs
in our district, with some support from partner Rotary clubs in France and several
private individuals, to £101,767.
This fantastic sum has directly supported around 800 entrepreneurs, who have
received loans to build their small businesses into profitable enterprises.
Indirectly, as a result of their increased profits a further 4000 people including
many children will have benefitted from better nutrition, healthcare, education
and shelter.
The money we have provided will continue to benefit others as it is continually
redeployed over the years to come. Small businesses have started to grow and
burgeon because of our efforts bringing new stability, health and prosperity to
those who like them are at the bottom the ladder in the Kasungu area of Malawi.

22. Local Project Support
~ Kids Out

benefit younger local children especially those who are disadvantaged.
~ Burnham Youth Club
We provide financial and resource support which has assisted them to
develop and attract over 100 young people.
~ International Play Day
We provide a marquee equipped with several games features along with
prizes.
~ Padstones
We support this organisation in its endeavours to home and support
homeless young persons aged between 16 and 21.

23. End Polio Now
What is your vision for a better world?
The Rotary Foundation enables Rotarians to advance world understanding,
goodwill, and peace through the improvement of health, the support of
education, and the alleviation of poverty.
After 25 years of hard work, Rotary and its partners are on the brink of
eradicating this tenacious disease, but a strong push is needed now to root
it out once and for all. It is a window of opportunity of historic proportions.
Reaching the ultimate goal of a polio-free world presents on-going
challenges, not the least of which is a hundreds of million dollar funding
gap. Of course, Rotary alone can't fill this gap, but continued Rotarian
advocacy for government support can help enormously.
As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, children
everywhere remain at risk. The stakes are that high.

² The Opera Sulis group of professional opera singers performed aria from
operas, operettas, musicals and other pieces

the opportunity to meet and dine with different members

27. French Exchange
Rotary Clubs of Amberieu-en-Bugey
& Burnham Beeches
It was following an exploratory visit during the first year of the Club in 1985 that these
exchange visits developed.
At that time, a group of four members decided to visit a Rotary club in France whilst
entering a Rotaract ‘Nouveau Beaujolais’ wine contest.
In seeking a club meeting on a Tuesday evening, we found two – one at St Etienne
South West of Lyon and the other at Amberieu en Bugey to the East. A coin flip decided
we should visit the Amberieu Club.
After making a further two quick informal visits, the first visit of a group of 8 of our
members with wives took place in 1987 with all our members staying in the home of an
Amberieu Rotarian.
This proved so successful, that 10 members of the Amberieu Club came to visit us the
following year. Thus, exchange visits have taken place every year since then with strong
personal friendships becoming well developed.
The 2012 exchange visit became the 25th!
