Seeking Volunteers for Newsletter Production Team
Are you proud of Rotary’s impact in your community and around the world?
Would you like to help share our stories, spread the word, and inspire others?
Our monthly District newsletter is sent to all Rotarians (honorary and active) in our district, and is available to the public on the ClubRunner site HERE.
Some ways you can help:
Editing: Download, review, proofread and polish submitted content (from clubs, district committees, district officers, etc.) to ensure clarity and quality. 
New Content Creation Ideas:
 > create stories about notable ongoing projects the district has initiated (HIP, GLWC, Niagara Greenway);
 > introduce some of our “seasoned” Rotarians to the newer crop, honoring their accomplishments;
 > describe some of the big, life-changing things done by our Rotarians, clubs and the district over the years;
(These types of "looking back" stories will help us create an easily accessible “vault” of historical interest, and hopefully instill some real pride in those who read the stories. They might form a repository of stories to provide to people who ask "What is Rotary, anyway?")
 > run a “history of..." series about some of our older clubs and the district itself;
 > feature a “Working Together Works Better” series, highlighting collaborations among clubs or with outside organizations;
 > promote upcoming district events;
 > suggest other "feature" stories.
Photography: Capture moments from club, district and RI events and meetings to include in our newsletter.
Design: Create visually appealing layouts and graphics in ClubRunner for the newsletter.
Organizing: arrange stories within newsletter, capture links to each story, create index.
Collaboration with our D7090 Public Image team to brainstorm content ideas and themes (i.e., “easter eggs” to engage readers).
Distribution: Helping to increase readership within the district.

Putting the newsletter together is a really big, but highly rewarding and (mostly) fun, job.
It’s my hope that the newsletter will become more relevant and navigable as we move forward, that submissions will increase and readership will soar, that ideas will be shared, and we can advance the goals of Rotary even more.
