District 6600 held its first One Rotary Summit on Saturday, October 17 in Fremont and the feedback was terrific! The One Rotary Summit was a three-hour synergistic learning experience that asked 40 club and district leaders to work together to develop creative solutions to two relatable Rotary case studies. One Rotary Summit participants worked in teams to engage two case studies that asked participants to leverage tools and information in relation to Membership, Public Image and The Rotary Foundation. We wanted participants to think outside the box and they did! We all know that when it comes to our Club’s there is not a one-size-fits-all approach, so we had to get creative! In fact, they got so creative that President Tami Tima from Bucyrus led the group in its own Rotary District 6600 Cheer! (Thanks, Tami!)
Leaders were also introduced to our own forum for sharing great ideas from club leaders, for club leaders. The One Rotary Toolbox is your landing spot on Facebook for innovative practices and tools for clubs, from clubs. Join the group and add all of your fellow Rotarians. In addition to our District website and your district leadership team, the One Rotary Toolbox is here to support and encourage you in your role as a Rotary Club leader.
The materials posted in the Toolbox by members are yours to adapt. Our format on Facebook allows you to JOIN LEADERS, EXCHANGE IDEAS, and TAKE ACTION to strengthen Rotary in your community. Post. Download. Share. Spread the word!
