PETS Local Community Service is the backbone of Rotary Service and Fellowship. 2. Give thought to sharing and using ideas from other Clubs. 3. Let District know of some of your recent projects, perhaps when submitting service hours so that we can learn and pass on to others. 4. Promote your projects well to ensure their success and to raise the profile of Rotary in your community – flows through to membership etc. 5. Does your club have a website? Is it kept updated? Does your Club use social media to communicate with members and the broader community? 6. Remember Rotarians are volunteers. Recognise their individual skills and understand their availability. Encourage and support them and thank them for their involvement. 7. Monitor and review ongoing projects. Are they still relevant and effective for your Club and Community? 8. Risk assessments including consideration of Occupational Health & Safety, Food Safety regulations, insurance arrangements etc. must be understood and in place. 9. Local School or University Scholarships. 10. Public Speaking Competitions with local schools. 11. Work with organisations assisting disabled members of your Community. 12. Engage with members and organisations in your local multi-cultural community. 13. Support Indigenous Health Scholarships (Australian Rotary Health). 14. Nominate someone from your community for the District Vocational Excellence Awards. 15. Consider a RAWCS project. Teams can contain community members as well as Rotarians. Arrange your own project or join in with another Club’s project. 16. Consider a project which might attract a District Grant. Applications close April each year. 17. Consider utilising other sources of grant funding to support projects. Your local council can often help. 18. Consider donations to causes such as Polio Plus, Rotary Foundation, Shelter Box, RFFA, ROMAC ARH etc. 19. Support Rotary Youth programmes including RYPEN, RYLA, RYDA, NYSS etc 20. Do you have any Rotary community activities relating to Peace in your town? 21. Use the District website to keep updated on activities and to find local resources. 22. Use internet resources provided by Rotary International including educational materials, My Rotary etc. 23. Have fun.
