Administration Committees - Club Bulletin Awards

THIS INFORMATION WILL BE UPDATED SOON FOR 2008-09 -- in the meantime, we have left the 2007-08 information to give you an idea of what will be expected.

– The 6780 Geeks Quad

Submissions for both printed and electronic club bulletins, two January bulletins, two February bulletins, and one March bulletin must be postmarked by Monday, March 17, 2008, to Mike Griffin, 407 Ferncliff Drive, Signal Mountain, TN 37377 (Email: mjgriffin@ftb.com) to be considered for an award.

NOTE: If a bulletin is published in both electronic and print formats, the club must specify which category the bulletin is submitted for. If there is no specification, the committee will assume it is a print bulletin submission.

Club bulletins as to content will be evaluated as follows:

1. Information about the club (service projects, member news and recognitions, budgets, etc.) 30%
2. Information about past, current, and upcoming programs and speakers of the club 20%
3. Information about Rotary International, including The Rotary Foundation 20%
4. Information about activities within the district, including items from the district governor’s newsletter 10%
5. Appearance (attractiveness, formatted so that it is easily read and attracts readers) 10%
6. Other (community news, is a new industry coming to the area; anecdotes; inspiration; humor) 10%

It is strongly suggested that each club obtain and study a copy of the RI 24-page publication # 605a-EN,  Communities in Action: A Guide to Effective Projects. It may be downloaded from the www.rotary.org website by clicking the Downloads tab, the RI Programs tab, and the name of the publication or it can be ordered from Rotary International for $3.00 plus shipping and handling.

We look forward to and highly encourage your submissions. Please contact us with questions. I can be reached at most any time 6 am to Midnight on my cell phone.
