From Rotary International Australian scientist, German association to receive top Foundation alumni awards By Ryan Hyland and Megan Ferringer Rotary International News -- 9 March 2012 John Skerritt, a research scientist who is deputy secretary of the Department of Primary Industries for the state of Victoria, Australia, has been chosen by The Rotary Foundation Trustees as the recipient of the 2011-12 Global Alumni Service to Humanity Award. Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Carlingford, New South Wales, Skerritt studied as a 1983-84 Ambassadorial Scholar at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA. A member of the Rotary Club of Hampton, he will receive the award on 8 May at the 2012 RI Convention in Bangkok, Thailand. An award like this has so many well-deserving candidates. I m honored and humbled to be recognized, says Skerritt. Over the past 30 years, Skerritt has led a wide range of training and assistance projects addressing agriculture, medical science, environmental, and public administration issues in India, Indonesia, and other Southeast Asian and African countries. Skerritt, who manages a staff of 1,250 and an annual budget of US$250 million, is one of the government s top public policy architects for fisheries, forestry, and agricultural emergencies. In 2010, he led a successful response to a major locust plague in eastern Australia, which otherwise would have caused $2 billion in damage. And last year, his team helped the farming community in that region recover quickly after unprecedented flooding. A former Rotaractor and Interactor, Skerritt has received numerous awards for his research and governmental work in agricultural science and development. John Skerritt (back left), recipient of The Rotary Foundation 2011-12 Global Alumni Service to Humanity Award, works with a family in Papua, Indonesia, to raise pigs on a healthy diet to help prevent diseases. Photo courtesy of John Skerritt I learned during my Ambassadorial Scholarship how international collaborations are such a powerful way of addressing big issues, says Skerritt. Whether it s medical, food security, or environmental causes, the basis of my work is to improve the lives of others. Rotary showed me the importance of giving. German alumni group recognized Rotary Foundation Alumni Deutschland (RFAD), the alumni association in Germany, has been selected as the recipient of The Rotary Foundation 2011-12 Alumni Association of the Year Award. We are thrilled to receive this award, which honors the joint effort of many generations of RFAD presidents and members, says Christoph Saenger, president of the group. We feel like appreciated members of the Rotarian family, and hope the award will raise the awareness for TRF alumni among Rotarians. Chartered in 1998, RFAD is dedicated to maintaining and strengthening contact between alumni and Rotary. The group s 270 members organize seminars for participants in inbound and outbound Foundation programs and regularly meet with Rotarians. They support a variety of humanitarian projects internationally and fund their own Rotary scholarship through the Foundation every five years. In 2010-11, RFAD raised about US$13,500 to complete a water project in Costa Rica, provide water wells in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and help a school in a tsunami-affected region of Japan. This gives our alumni the wonderful feeling to make a difference by, for example, helping an incoming scholar to overcome the cultural shock of arriving in Germany, or by engaging in service projects, Saenger says. Among other activities, RFAD s International Oktoberfest Alumni Event, open to alumni worldwide, includes workshops on how to improve alumni collaboration and cultural activities. The RFAD success story provides evidence that the generous support from Rotarians for young scholars bears fruit, Saenger says. After being volunteers, Group Study Exchange team members, peace fellows, or Ambassadorial Scholars, these grateful and enthusiastic alumni become a valuable future resource for Rotary.

Public Relations Plan Public Relations Plan Main target: To get more citizens aware, especially whose who leave in Nicosia area, about our club, and our activities. What is Rotary, who are the Rotarians, what does Rotary do. Specifically, we should try to overcome and to clarify a misunderstanding and a misperception that runs across a lot of people in Cyprus that Rotary is a kind of a "sect" (heresy). This is a quite negative approach from a lot of people in Cyprus that affects the expansion, the role and the function of our club and our organization in general, especially in Cyprus a country with citizens that have very strong bonds to their religion. Also, we should sick and aim to expose and to promote most of our major activities, through the media (local and national). Use of media: In our days the use of media, especially electronic media, is a very powerful, important and effective tool (and vehicle) in order to promote and to inform the public about our organizations and our club's activities. We are listing below some of our initial suggestions regarding the promotion of our club's activities through the media: Prepare and send press (news) releases to all media (electronic and printed) regarding our major activities. Arrange the participation of our President and/or other Board members to various local radio programs, in order to speak and to explain the role, the function and the importance of our organization and especially our Nicosia-Lefkothea club. Inform the media (especially some "key" media persons and journalists) but also the public, in general, about our official web-side, so they can visit it and get the appropriate information. They could also have a link to our weekly electronic bulletin in order to follow our meeting activities and other general activities and projects of our club. Events that could be attractive to the media: We should organize specific events that are attractive both to the media and to the general public. Such events could be "tea - afternoons", dinners, special "theme" nights, or special nights (parties) at a local night club (such event could be also attractive to younger people). We can also organize special events like a Christmas Gala dinner, a Carnival dance dinner, a Saint Valentine's Day special dinner, an Easter lunch day, out in the fields, with the traditional lamb "suvla", etc. We can invite one or two notable, expert speakers (according to specific subjects and fields) well known Doctor, or a well known media personality, to give a speech thus, organizing an event open to the general public. For all these events and activities we can always collaborate with other local clubs. Local government officials: We could arrange meetings of our Board Members with high positioned local government officials in order to inform them about our activities, our efforts to support and to help the society through our charity activities and events and to make them aware about our existence and our function, especially in the district of Nicosia. Such meetings will be largely covered by the media. 2.
