Continuing District Initiatives
• In the forthcoming year we will continue to have funds available to help clubs with their marketing and PR initiatives.
• The aim of the funding is not only to help with increasing membership but also to raise the public awareness of what Rotary is.
• Any club or group of clubs may apply for a matching grant of up to £250 for a single club or more for a group of clubs. They need to provide a sound business plan, this will be reviewed by the PR grants committee.

We’re for Communities – the video
• At all Rotary gatherings there are always a number of people in the audience who have not seen the We’re for Communities video.
• Therefore, I will show this video. Every time I see it I draw something new from it. Please use it where ever you can to promote Rotary and the work that it does.
• Thank you for your attention – see the video athttp://youtu.be/vUIUbK5nGCU
