We meet regularly, get to know each other, form friendships and through that, we're able to get things done in our community. It's up to YOU.............Join leaders in our community

Be sure to share this with all of your friends and associates and ask them to get in touch with our Membership Director Lennis Trotter at 905-985-0963 or our Club President Ted Morrison at 905-623-3810. You are invited to our next Rotary meeting. You may wish to become a Rotarian. Dinner is on us. Isn't it time to give back to your community?.

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO:

ROTARY – People of Action

Rotary is where neighbours, friends, and problem-solvers share ideas, join leaders, and take action to create lasting change.

See: http://video.rotary.org/EgFi/ia17-people-of-action-public-image-campaign-launch-joe-otin/

 

THE OBJECT OF ROTARY

is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:

FIRST The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;

SECOND High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful

occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian's occupation as an opportunity to serve society;

THIRD The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian's personal, business, and community life;

FOURTH The advancement of international understanding, goodwill, and peace through a world fellowship of

business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.

 

Rotary Code of Conduct provides a framework for ethical behavior that all Rotarians can use, together with The Four-Way Test, in their business and professional activities.

ROTARY CODE OF CONDUCT

As a Rotarian, I will

  1. Exemplify the core value of integrity in all behaviors and activities

  2. Use my vocational experience and talents to serve in Rotary

  3. Conduct all of my personal, business, and professional affairs ethically, encouraging and fostering high ethical standards as an example to others

  4. Be fair in all dealings with others and treat them with the respect due to them as fellow human beings

  5. Promote recognition and respect for all occupations which are useful to society

  6. Offer my vocational talents: to provide opportunities for young people, to work for the relief of the special needs of others, and to improve the quality of life in my community

  7. Honor the trust that Rotary and fellow Rotarians provide and not do anything that will bring disfavor or reflect adversely on Rotary or fellow Rotarians

  8. Not seek from a fellow Rotarian a privilege or advantage not normally accorded others in a business or professional relationship

 

THE ROTARY FOUR-WAY TEST

of things we think, say and do:

  1. Is it the truth

  2. Is it fair to all concerned?

  3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships?

  4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

GUEST SPEAKER:

Bob Wallace was introduced by President Ted Morrison.

Most of the members in attendance had their laptops or I-pads with them. Dave Andrews’ had his laptop and guided the rest through the presentation through the overhead projector.

Bob first pointed out that when you go to Rotary.org on the internet you are seeing the public website. Here members of the public can learn about Rotary and also indicate that they want to join Rotary.

When you click on “My Rotary” at the top of the page, you are prompted to sign in. If you haven’t registered an account yet, there is also an account registration button.

Once you are signed in to My Rotary, it will show at the top of the page that you are logged in.

Bob walked us through many of the online tools that are available in My Rotary.

For example:

Brand Centre – all logos and everything related to public image (templates, etc.) is available.

Rotary Showcase – Can see the impact of the sum of volunteer hours and donations from all clubs.

Rotary Ideas – Is like a crowd funding place for projects. In addition to funding, you can also reuest partners and volunteers.

Courses – Hundreds of courses are available on many topics. These are all on-line self-directed courses.

Discussion Groups – Can join a conversation with Rotarians worldwide.

Bob also walked us through the www.rotary7070.org ClubRunner site, for which a separate login is required. Here you can register for RLI and any upcoming seminars on Membership or Global Grants, as well as for the District Conference being held in Prince Edward County October 27, 2018.

President Ted thanked Bob for his enlightening presentation.
