ATTENTION CLUB PRESIDENTS
Welcome to the start of a new Rotary year! It's going to be a busy 365 days with a lot to keep track of, but we have many tools available to make that easier. Here is a list to help make sure you get off to a great start!

Email
This is the most powerful internal communications tool for Rotarians, so please plan to be diligent in checking and reading your emails. You will get emails from district leadership about upcoming events, with your monthly newsletter and to remind you of any important deadlines. You will also receive emails from Rotary International with important messages for all Rotarians. Whenever appropriate, be sure to share this information with your entire club!

District Calendar
Make sure you check the Events tab on this web site regularly to see what's coming up. The calendar will include district events, often with the option to register online, as well as other club events that you and your members might be interested in.

Make sure you are updating your club's progress in Rotary Club Central
We know you set your club's goals in Rotary Club Central at rotary.org during your training to become president, but there is more to it. You will need to go back in on a regular basis and update your progress towards meeting those goals. Make sure you check in every month or so to avoid getting behind. It will make the task much easier! 

Plan your track to get the Presidential Citation TODAY
Want to earn a big award for your club? You can find this year's Rotary Citation (formerly known as the Presidential Citation) under the Useful Pages tab on this site. It is a list of goals set by the Rotary International President for each club, to determine what programs, projects and activities your club needs to do over the next 12 months in order to be aligned with the overall organizational goals and earn this special recognition from Rotary International.

Read your newsletter
The monthly District Newsletter is a succinct way to see what's new from the district, Rotary International and what your fellow clubs are up to. Sometimes there are important announcements and reminders that could make your role easier too! Find the latest editions under the News/Events tab on this page.
