New Passport Club

Message from DG Jim Schlatman:

Hello District 6330!

As we all know, Rotary must continuously evolve so that we may continue to attract new members, retain current ones, and come together to do good in the world.

With this in mind, I am excited to announce the formation of the Provisional District 6330 Passport Club! Passport Clubs are a new format of Rotary Club where members meet only a few times a year, instead conducting club business electronically. In lieu of weekly meetings, members are encouraged to engage in humanitarian service in whatever capacity works best for them! The founding principle is simple: make Rotary fit your life!

This is an exciting opportunity for former Rotarians who are ready to return, Rotaractors, Alumni, and anyone else who does not find that a traditional club fits their life.

For more information, and to stay tuned to what this new, provisional club is up to- visit the website and follow them on Facebook at the links below.

With help from Rotarian Heather Ellis, photographer and Rotarian Mark Oliver was able to photoshop himself into the photograph. Although not the club's official photo as several members were unable to attend, it's the next best thing for our outbound exchange student, Jessica Lawson, to take with her to the Czech Republic when she leaves for a one-year exchange in August 2018.

RI Theme for the Month of June-Rotary Fellowships

Benefits of Rotary Fellowships:

Enable Rotarians to make lasting friendships outside their own club, district or country
Contribute to the advancement of Rotary's public image and identity
Serve as an incentive for joining Rotary and for continuing as a member

Examples of Rotary Fellowships available to Rotarians, Rotary partners and Rotaractors...

June is designated as Rotary Fellowship Month. Rotary Fellowships are international, independently organized groups of Rotarians, Rotary partners, and Rotaractors who share a common recreational interest or vocation. This month is recognition of the opportunity to have fun, make new friends around the world and enhance the experience of Rotary that belonging to a Rotary Fellowship enables.

Rotary Fellowships began informally in 1928 when a group of Rotarians with an interest in Esperanto joined together. In 1947, Rotarians organized a group of boating enthusiasts, which became the Yachting Fellowship. This joining together to share common interests and activities gained attention and operated over the years under various names as World Fellowship Activities; International Vocational Contact Groups; Rotary Recreational and Vocational Fellowships; and finally Rotary Fellowships.

Fellowship activities vary widely. Some groups come together around hobbies or special interests. Others are based on common vocations. Some Fellowships are purely social while others use their fellowship for service projects. Each Fellowship must maintain a membership base representing at least 3 Countries. Each Fellowship elects at least 3 Officers to oversee the group’s operations. Fellowships are expected to facilitate communication amongst their members and to maintain regular communication with Rotary International.

There are currently over 61 Rotary Fellowships. To find more information go to:
