DG Allan will be visiting St. Johns Rotary on August 25th to share more information on the proposed Regional Pilot Programme.  This past week, Co-President Gary received additional information and you may wish to review this prior to DG Allan's visit on Thursday.
 
 
Dear Club President,

You are receiving this message as the President of your Rotary Club because we want to ensure you are as informed as possible about an important action you are being asked to take in September this year.
 
We hope by now you have heard about the Regionalisation Pilot project in our part of the world and that you have either participated in a Zoom meeting or webinar or had a club meeting about it.  This is a very important project for the future of Rotary.  Our region includes Rotary and Rotaract clubs in Australia, New Zealand and 14 countries.
 
A team has been working for some time to  establish a pilot to support our clubs to explore, develop and test a new model of governing and operating Rotary that is relevant for our region.  The Rotary International Board has agreed to support our efforts, and this support is subject to our clubs voting to participate in this pilot.  You as the President of your club will be asked to cast a vote on behalf of your club, whether you wish to participate in the pilot or not.  This vote must reflect the views of your members.
