Getting Ready for 2017-2018

Hopefully these tasks and activities have been started or completed to start the next Rotary year.

  • Presidents, Officers and Directors appointed, elected and installed. This needs to be done and reported by Dec. 31, 2016.
  • Presidents, Officers and Directors entered into the district website, so they can receive the notices and information from the district and RI. This is a function available to the current officers by logging into the district website at www.rotary5930.org. If your club has ClubRunner, then entering the information there will allow the names to migrate to the district. If you enter the information at RI through My Rotary, it will NOT migrate down.
Your President, Secretary and webmaster have the required access to complete these tasks. Contact your Assistant District Governor for assistance. Not sure who that is - check out the District Organization Chart. Your District webmaster is also available to answer questions - Nancy Paulson at Nancy@RockportWebSites.com.
Message from RI staff about their website and My Rotary
This December Rotary International at www.Rotary.org is making key upgrades to the member database.
  • From 3-5 December, Rotary.org users may experience interruption.
  • Members may be unable to complete transactions online, including making contributions, registering for the convention, running reports, accessing grant information, logging into My Rotary, and updating member information.
  • Rotary staff will minimize interruptions as much as possible.
  • Please be advised and share with your members.
The Best Membership Training We’ve Had.
For the first time, we hosted an incredibly successful Cadre Membership Training in District 5930 on Saturday October 15, 2016 in Harlingen Texas.  District Governor Debbie High and I did not know what to expect and we were very excited to find out about the much talked about Cadre Training.  Cadre Trainer Lisa Faith Massey delivered, as I’m sure all Cadre trainers do, an incredibly passionate and powerful presentation.
