From Rotary International Trustees approve changes to Japan Disaster Recovery Fund to ease distribution as fund reaches US$3.6 million By Ryan Hyland and Dan Nixon Rotary International News -- 29 July 2011 Due to Rotarians enormous support of the Rotary Japan 2011 Disaster Recovery Fund, The Rotary Foundation Board of Trustees has approved changes to the fund to make distributing money for relief efforts easier. More than US$3.6 million has been donated to the fund to help in long-term recovery projects following the devastating earthquake and tsunami on 11 March. More than 30 Matching Grants worth $1.1 million has already been approved. Ways to donate You may donate online or by check payable to The Rotary Foundation including the notation Rotary Japan 2011 Disaster Recovery Fund, #G10005. Send your contribution to: The Rotary Foundation 14280 Collections Center Drive Chicago, IL 60693 You may also donate through your international Rotary office Rotary districts may also choose to donate DDF. Download the form (PDF) Questions about contributions? E-mail the Contact Center or call +1-866-976-8279. The Rotary Higashi Nihon Shinsai Fukkokikin (Rotary East Japan Earthquake Recovery Fund) Committee has been formed to oversee the fund. The committee, composed of six Japanese Rotarians, will identify the needs of the affected communities, manage the distribution of funds, oversee project implementation, report on the projects, and ensure that all stewardship practices are followed. As part of the changes, projects approved by the committee will not have to meet the regular requirements of Matching Grants and Rotary Foundation Global Grants. For example, funds could be used for construction. Additionally, money from the Japan fund will no longer be made available through Matching Grants and global grants. This approach is similar to how the Foundation successfully managed the Solidarity in South Asia Fund following the tsunami in 2004. Rotary clubs and districts in Japan may apply to the Japan fund by completing an application form and returning it to the Rotary Higashi Nihon Shinsai Fukkokikin Committee. Download grant application. Rotary clubs and districts may still apply for Matching Grants and Global Grants funded by the World Fund to support disaster recovery projects in Japan. Matching Grant applications do not have to meet the 50 percent minimum for international partner contributions, but all other standard requirements will apply. A benefit concert organized by the Rotary Club of Meudon, Hauts-de-Seine, France, and Ambassadorial Scholar Miki Okubo raised money for earthquake victims.

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.
