NEW GENERATIONS, FUTUR OF ROTARY
During a Twitter chat in July, Rotaractors discussed what sets Rotaract apart from other service clubs and professional organizations. Here are some of their thoughts:
• Having ethics, honesty, and respect at its core is something that sets our organization apart. -- @ggaldamez
• Sustainability. How many other community service projects have long-term goals in mind? -- @Kipsang
• [Rotaract clubs don’t] face the difficulties and hardships alone because they have Interact and their sponsoring Rotary clubs to help. -- @RACMeteor
• The Four Way Test! Those four questions are the key to becoming a better professional & social entrepreneur. -- @Shanny_14
During September, you can celebrate all the ways Rotary develops young leaders by sharing your experiences on social media. Let the world know how you Engage Rotary, Change Lives by using these hashtags:
• 1-7 September - #EngageRotaract
• 8-14 September - #EngageYouthExchange
• 15-21 September - #EngageRYLA
• 22-18 September - #EngageInteract

Conseil of Legislation 2013
Your club has many new strategies developed by the 2013 Council on Legislation delegates to improve your club members’ experience. Below are some of the key changes to help make your club even better.
A Better Club Board 1. Your club secretary is now always a member of the board. 2. Serve in your club for at least one year before leading as president unless your governor says you have enough experience to lead the club. Increase Member Engagement 3. You can participate in club projects or other events and activities for at least 12 hours in each half of the year to receive attendance credit. 4. When your age and club years total 85, you are recognized as not having to adhere to attendance rules. (Return to the former 85 rule.) Increased Membership Prospects 5. You can now invite individuals who have interrupted their employment or never worked in order to care for children or assist their spouse in their work to be members of your club. Improved Membership Transfers between Clubs 6. If you want to transfer to a different club, request a letter from your former club stating that you have no debts with them. If your former club doesn’t provide this letter within 30 days, your new club will assume that you owe nothing and are free to join their club. Easier Voting 7. You will get one ballot from your governor that includes all of your votes. 8. Your club selects one person to cast all of its votes at the conference. 9. Your club can concur with only one challenging candidate.

« New Générations » and « Youth Service »
The 2013 Council on Legislation changed the name of Rotary’s
fifth Avenue of Service from “New Generations Service” to
“Youth Service” effective 1 July 2013.
Although the name of the Avenue of Service will change for the
new Rotary year, the RI New Generations Committee has been
asked to advise the Board on how this language will be
integrated into other communications, programs, and activities
as well as committees and district leadership roles.
For now, we encourage all Rotarians to focus on their districts’
service to young leaders—and the positive impact in their
communities—as we investigate ways to talk about that service
in the months to come.
Titulaire d’un diplôme en commerce et président fondateur de Printcare PLC, leader mondial dans l’industrie de l’emballage du thé, M. Ravindran est également administrateur de plusieurs compagnies et fonds caritatifs. Il fut également président fondateur de l’association sri-lankaise contre les stupéfiants - la plus importante du pays - et a dirigé une action permettant de reconstruire 25 écoles dévastées par un tsunami, touchant ainsi 15 000 enfants. Président de la commission nationale PolioPlus du Sri Lanka, il fut à la tête d’un groupe de travail réunissant des membres du gouvernement, de l’UNICEF et du Rotary, au sein duquel il a pu négocier un cessez-le-feu avec les forces rebelles du nord du pays pour les Journées nationales de vaccination. Rotarien depuis 1974, K.R. Ravindran a occupé les fonctions de président d’Institute de zone, délégué au Conseil de législation, gouverneur, training leader à l’Assemblée internationale, administrateur et trésorier du Rotary, et administrateur de la Fondation Rotary. Il est récipiendaire de la Citation pour services méritoires et de la Distinction pour services éminents de la Fondation Rotary ainsi que du Prix pour un monde sans polio. M. Ravindran et son épouse Vanathy ont deux enfants et sont Donateurs majeurs niveau 4 de la Fondation Rotary.

M. RAVINDRAN choisi comme président 2015-2016 du Rotary K.R. « Ravi » Ravindran, membre du Rotary club sri-lankais de Colombo a été choisi par la commission de nomination du président 2015-2016 du Rotary International. Il deviendra officiellement président nommé du Rotary le 1er octobre si aucune candidature en opposition n’est présentée. Sa priorité pour le Rotary va être d’augmenter l‘effectif, fondation du Rotary selon lui. Il propose de continuer à se concentrer sur les jeunes générations, mais il cherchera également à attirer les récents retraités et les professionnels expérimentés au Rotary. Conscient qu’il n’existe pas d’approche unique, il est un fervent supporter des plans régionaux Effectif qu’il considère comme un pas dans la bonne direction. Il est d’après lui aussi important que les Rotariens parlent de leur expérience – surtout sur les réseaux sociaux – pour montrer au monde l’impact que le Rotary a eu dans leur vie, l’important étant de renvoyer une image claire et cohérente à tous les niveaux de l’organisation.

District 7030 News PP Malcom CHARLES, Endowment/Major Gifts Advisor
A new group of Rotarians was recently appointed and trained to enhance the Foundation’s major gift efforts, the Endowment/ Major Gift Advisers.
Although significant support in the form of planned and major gifts is received each year, the opportunity to help Rotarians and others fulfill their philanthropic goals through the Foundation’s programs remains great. The advisor is a resource for the clubs during your year and can help with:
• Training club leaders on major gifts and Rotary’s endowment, including giving and naming opportunities;
• Assisting clubs in establishing a structure for the identification and cultivation of potential major gifts donors;
• Working with club leadership to plan cultivation events for Foundation supporters and prospective supporters.
For our district 7030, PP Malcom CHARLES has accepted this responsibility to enhance our contributions. In few days, he will invite you to put it place the plan he established for RI year 2013-2014. PLEASE, ENGAGE ROTARY CHANGE LIVES

In Memoriam PDG Harold DAVIS (RC Georgetown) It is with deep regret that I inform you of the passing of our PDG Harold Davis in Guyana, August 25th. PDG Dunstan has honored us by representing our District 7030 during the funerals and has transmitted our condolences to his widow Maylene. Harold served as District Governor for the year 1989-1990 when we were District 405. He hosted a District Conference at the Pegasus in April, 1990 , this at a time when Guyana had severe economic problems. Harold and his team did an outstanding job and many of us still remember the bus tours etc to the regions outside of Georgetown. He was a member of the Georgetown club and at one time was head of the Sugar Industry. He was involved with that industry for decades. He also served on several Corporate Boards. By PDG David EDWARDS
