Subject: Rotary - REMINDER TO SEND MATERIAL (BY SEPTEMBER 24) for
DISTRICT 5130 NEWSLETTER - for END-SEPTEMBER ISSUE <br>
<br>
Dear Art,
<p><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:16pt">To: District 5130 AG's, DG Bob
Rogers, District Committee Chairs (fm BR 8/12 email)<br>
<br>
CC: District 5130 Leadership: Barbara Spangler (DG Elect),
Wulff Reinhold (IPDG), District Administration: Kim McDonald
(Secretary), Barbara Barney (Treasurer), Michael Juric
(Advisory), Rob Stewart (Abuse Prevention)<br>
<br>
This is a reminder - and anxious request - for you to send
me material for the -end-September District 5130 Newsletter
(second edition). So far I have received only several
inputs and photographs. I can't send out a newsletter if
you do not help me.<br>
<br>
Remember we have added District 5130 Committee Chairs' (fm.
BR 8/12 email) updates - in addition to reports from all
AG's about their respective clubs.<br>
<br>
So, for AG's: (Refer to issue published July 30) - A half
page (more is OK) from each of you updating us on your
respective clubs current activities, major projects,
events. No need to repeat things from the July 30
newsletter. Please provide several photos (see below for
photo format) and we will include as many as we can.<br>
<br>
For District 5130 Committee Chairs: (May use material, but
summarize, from your written reports to DG Bob before the
last Board meeting -- or you may submit, up to a page, your
new summary of what is going on in your committee.) Remember
that this newsletter is distributed to all (2,325) Rotarians
in District 5130 so you may want to summarize. Please
include - in the first sentence or two - what your committee
is all about, what it does, and how it relates to RI
projects. Please provide several (local please) photos
relevant to your committee. Send your written material in
an email (or attach Word file) and send photos separately as
an email attachment (Remember I do the photo placement.)<br>
<br>
I have attached, below, a copy of my September 7 email
request - It has more detailed instructions.<br>
<br>
Try to get this to me by September 24 - If you need a couple
more days then let me know so I can hold space. If you have
questions or need my help, please email me at <a class="m_-8928651299836765474moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:TRBoag@aol.com" target="_blank">TRBoag@aol.com</a>
or call me (Cell: <a href="tel:(650)%20868-9616" value="+16508689616" target="_blank">650-868-9616</a>, Home: <a href="tel:(707)%20823-6168" value="+17078236168" target="_blank">707-823-6168</a>) It
takes me about a week to put the newsletter together.<br>

<p style="margin-bottom:6pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">To:
District 5130 AG’s, DG Bob Rogers, District Committee Chairs
(fm. BR 8/12 email)</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:6pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">CC:
District 5130 Leadership: Barbara Spangler (DG Elect), Wulff
Reinhold (IPDG), District Administration: Kim McDonald
(Secretary), Barbara Barney (Treasurer), Michael Juric
(Advisory), Rob Stewart (Abuse Prevention)</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:6pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Last
July 30 we published (11:21 am) the first edition of our <strong>District
5130 Newsletter</strong>. It went out to <strong>all
District Rotarians (2,325 at recent count)</strong> and
tracking reports it was <b>opened by 47 percent</b> <strong>of
addressees</strong> – a good percentage for a new
newsletter. We received many positive comments about the
newsletter, one complaint (“font size too small”), and a
number of suggestions on how to increase benefit – including
adding District Committee happenings. But wait… There’s more!</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:6pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Recently
DG Bob held a board meeting and asked most district committee
chairs to submit a written report ahead of the meeting. Most
did and Bob shared those reports with me. Frankly, I had no
idea that there were so many district level committees
(although I’ve met many of the chairs and recognize the names)
so reading the reports (with a little help from “My Rotary”)
suggests opportunity to expand the scope of the newsletter. DG
Bob agrees – saying someone at board meeting suggested the
committee reports. How many of the 2,325 District members have
any idea what the Ethics, Vision, IFL, RLI, RFE, or Club
Extension committees do? Maybe some would like to participate?</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:6pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Recall
that the purpose of this newsletter is transparency for all
district 5130 Rotarians – a place to share ideas, inspire
other clubs to try new programs, offer or request assistance,
and recognize progress. It is a place to talk about club and
district goals – and needs for success. It is not intended to
compete with any club newsletters or webpages. With your help
and suggestions, we can educate a lot of people.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:6pt"><span style="font-size:14pt"><b><u><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">To publish
Edition #2 of our newsletter by the end of September we
