District Membership Award (pending update for 2013-14)

In the club categories of:

1. Up to 49 members

2. 50 - 99 members

3. 100 or over members

First Award: District recognition of the clubs with the highest percentage increase in membership

Second Award: For the clubs with the highest absolute net gain in membership

Third Award: To recognize the criticality of attracting younger members, a further District award in each club category will be made to the clubs gaining the most new members under forty-five (45) years of age as of March 31 as a percentage of their total new members in the year.

Base numbers will be those effective as of March 31. Final calculations will be made against changes there from, to March 31. No specific awards will be made for 'retention' though this important aspect of membership will, of course, be reflected in results achieved. There will be no award for member attendance but clubs are encouraged to establish their own mechanism for recognizing members' achievements in this area - remembering that good attendance is closely related to the quality of meeting management and speakers.

To be eligible for recognition, clubs are responsible to file their membership returns promptly and accurately.

The Rotary Foundation Individual Donor Recognition Awards The Rotary Foundation (TRF) offers several ways to recognize Rotarians and Friends for their generous

support.

What to expect after your gift The Rotary Foundation will

Send letters of appreciation for all gifts Send emails for gift acknowledgments and tax receipts (if applicable) from gifts received from

www.rotary.org or at the Foundation's Chicago bank. Email attachments from the email address " [email protected] " with the subject heading "A note of thanks from The Rotary Foundation" are legitimate and safe to open.

Honor requests for privacy (if a donor wishes to remain anonymous, the Foundation must be notified when the gift is made)

Subtract the fair market value of recognition items from receipts when required to do so by U.S. law Acknowledge major gift pledges at their full value when written documentation and an initial gift

payment are received

A complete guide of instructions and forms ( All 21 Pages) can be found at:

http://www.clubrunner.ca/Data/5020//HTML/172785//TRFResourceGuide.pdf

The following pages contain a sampling of some of the common individual donor categories

Sustaining Member

Anyone who contributes US $100 or more per year to the Annual Fund is automatically recognized as a Rotary Foundation Sustaining Member.

Sustaining Members are critical to the Foundation. If every club member contributed $100 every year, Rotary could nearly double its efforts to help needy people worldwide and support the continued growth of its programs.

All gifts cumulatively count toward other Foundation recognition programs.

Peace Fellowships Deadline Dates: The deadline for submitting applications to Rotary International is 1 July The deadline for submitting to a local club can vary (generally March–June).

Description Each year, Rotary funds some of the world’s most dedicated and brightest professionals to study at our Rotary Peace Centers. These fellows are committed to the advancement of peace, and often go on to serve as leaders in national governments, NGOs, the military, law enforcement, and international organizations such as the United Nations and World Bank.

What are Rotary Peace Fellowships?

Each year, Rotary selects individuals from around the world to receive fully funded academic fellowships at one of our peace centers. These fellowships cover tuition and fees, room and board, round-trip transportation, and all internship/field study expenses. Two types of peace fellowships are available.

Master's degree

We offer master’s degree fellowships at premier universities in fields related to peace and conflict resolution and prevention. Programs last 15–24 months and require a practical internship of 2–3 months during the academic break. Each year we award up to 50 master’s fellowships from these institutions:

Duke University and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, US

International Christian University, Japan

University of Bradford, UK

University of Queensland, Australia

Uppsala University, Sweden

Professional Development Certificate

For those with more extensive experience in peace-related fields, we offer a 3-month program in peace and conflict resolution at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, Thailand. This program incorporates 2–3 weeks of field study. We award up to 50 certificates each year.
