How can I best explain Rotary to
non-Rotarians ?
A Concise Definition of Rotary
In 1976 the Rotary International Board of Directors was
interested in creating a concise definition of the fundamental aspects of
Rotary. They turned to the three men who were then serving on Rotary's Public
Relations Committee and requested that a one-sentence definition of Rotary be
prepared. After numerous drafts, the committee presented this definition, which
has been used ever since in various Rotary publications:"Rotary is an organization of business and professional
persons united worldwide who provide humanitarian service, encourage high
ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the
world."
Those 31 words are worth remembering when someone asks, "What is
Rotary?"[Source - Past RI President Cliff Dochterman's "The ABCs of Rotary"]

Where can I find Matching Grant information
and forms?
The RI web site contains all the information and forms that you will ever
need - and then some. However, because of the volume of information available,
it is not necessarily that easy to find precisely what you are looking for. So
we have compiled a few notes and links to assist you. Visit the D9320 Matching Grants page.

London. A great variety of items which can be used in hospitals or clinics, hospices,
old age homes or are needed by charitable organisations caring for the sick and
disabled has been received (and continues to be received) from various countries.

Why can I not see the latest D9320 web pages?
Web browsers (Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, Chrome etc) maintain a "cache"
("store" in English) of the web pages you have recently accessed. This is done so that
should you
re-visit a particular page your browser doesn't have to download it all over again - it can
simply pull it directly off your own hard disk so that the page can load much
more quickly. However, depending upon your browser's cache refreshment
settings, this can sometimes mean that you don't always actually get
to see the latest available page.The result is that your browser's cache may actually be holding
an out-of-date copy of the web page in question.So, if you ever have any reason to believe that what you are seeing may not
be up-to-date, the solution is to refresh your browser's page one or more
times. This can do no harm, regardless of how frequently you do it - and it may
save you some frustration.You will find your
browser's "refresh" button up near the top of the browser's
window. But, even better, simply press Ctrl+F5 to refresh any web page - that works with most browsers and is a much simpler and
quicker solution.Of course, this applies to ALL web sites, not merely D9320's.

Tell me all about
Rotary Friendship Exchange?
The Rotary Friendship Exchange Program is an activity in which
Rotarians and their families carry out reciprocal visits, living for a

How can I obtain an Online Make-up?
Spend 30 minutes participating in an interactive activity on a Rotary e-club
Web site. Rotary International has approved the request of 27 (as of July 2005)
clubs to form with virtual or electronic locations. A visit to one of these
e-clubs may satisfy a club member's make-up requirement. Please check with your
club secretary and the e-club of interest to see if this online visit counts.The original eClub is Rotary e-Club One but there are now many more - in a variety of languages.
Download and print a list of available e-clubs. Clicking on one of the clubs shown on this list will
take you directly to the appropriate web page. Even if you don't actually need
to do a make-up right now, you will surely benefit from the experience.

How do I apply for a Paul Harris
Recognition?
You need to download, complete and submit the "Recognition and Contribution Form" form (123-EN) from the Individual Recognition
- Paul Harris Fellow/Multiple Paul Harris Fellow section of the RI web.
However, if you or your club wishes to simply recognise an individual
utilising contributions already made, then it is simpler to use
a "Recognition and Transfer Request" form (102-EN) - to be
found lower down on the same page. If you
wish to review/print your club's current status with regard to Foundation contributions,
you can find this information in RI's Member Access area - View Club
Recognition Summaries.

How can I change my login email address at RI's Member Access area?
To change your login email address at the RI Members Access section, do the following:-
- Login to RI's Member Access using your old email address and password.
- Go to My Profile (top right of Member Access screen) and read the notes.
- Enter your new Login Email Address and confirm it.
- Change your Secret Question if you want to.
- Save.
- Your new email address is recorded and you should now login using it.
But note - your login password remains unchanged unless and until you specifically change that too (see Change Password next to My Profile at the top of the Member Access screen).
Note that you will also probably need to change your Correspondence eMail Address - Login and Correspondence E-mail addresses are not necessarily the same, and changing one does NOT change the other.
To change your Correspondence eMail Address you will first have to add your new email address and flag it as your Primary Email. Only once you have done that will you be able to delete your old email address.
