Exchange of Club Banners is one of the colorful traditions of many Rotary clubs is the exchange of small banners, flags or pennants.
Rotarians traveling to distant locations often take banners to exchange at "make-up" meetings as a token of friendship. Many clubs use the decorative banners they have received for attractive displays at club meetings and district events. The Rotary International board recognized the growing popularity of the banner exchange back in 1959 and suggested that those clubs that participate in such exchanges give careful thought to the design of their banners in order that they be distinctive and expressive of the community and country of which the club is a part. It is recommended that banners include pictures, slogans or designs that portray the territorial area of the club.

This photo was form the Terry Fox run at Niagara On The Lake last year. We like a lot of other clubs find the
most success in our events when as many of our members attend as possible and we find time to have fun
as well. Having a nice dinner or a simple coffee, the time we spend together is sometimes is even more enjoyable than
the fundraising event itself.

"This year, I am urging all Rotarians to Light Up Rotary by participating in Rotary Days. The Rotary Day concept is a simple one: hold a fun, informal event in your community for the non-Rotary public and use it as an opportunity to introduce them to Rotary. It’s that easy. Rotary Days can help your club drive up interest in membership, strengthen your club’s relationships with local institutions and community members, and improve Rotary’s image in your community. Imagine the collective impact we can have if all 34,000 Rotary clubs worldwide make a concerted effort to introduce the public to the fun, rewarding experiences that we all enjoy as Rotary members." -Gary C.K. Huang
Rotary E-Club of SOWNY
Last July 11, Rotary International issued the charter to our new Rotary E-Club of SOWNY (District 7090).
Today, during the leadership change over for our Rotary District 7090 - Southern Ontario & Western New York, we finally received our copy of our charter document. This coming July 11, we celebrate our first year as a Rotary E-Club. Learn more about us at www.rotaryeclub7090.org.
Gary Huang played a lot of sports when he was younger, but basketball was his favorite. He was captain and point guard of his high school team. “I’m not tall, but I was quick.” He flashes a grin. “I knew how to move the ball and set my team up to win.” That was decades ago, but whether in basketball, business, or Rotary, moving the ball continues to be Huang’s game. He likes action and progress. He relishes a challenge. When the Rotary Club of Taipei told him he was too young to be a member, he persisted, attending every meeting for nine months until he hooked an invitation at age 30. Since then, he has not stopped moving forward. Five years after joining Rotary, Huang became club president. Then he became Taiwan’s youngest district governor, first RI director, and first Rotary Foundation trustee. This month, he becomes the first Chinese president of Rotary International.

The board of the Rotary E-Club of SOWNY discussed options for our members to make donations for Philippine Relief and have narrowed it down to two recommended avenues to support this effort. We encourage every Rotarian to consider making a donation to either of these organizations to help those afflicted in the Philippines.
The Rotary website is loaded with resources available to members world wide. Do you know how to access the Membership portal (entitled MY ROTARY)? Have you established a Log-IN User name and Pass Code? You need to do this! Here's why and how to do it !
Due to some technical challenges during our last online meeting, we have posted the following guidelines below to our website under the ABOUT E-CLUB tab. It is important that all members of E-Club read these guidelines carefully for future online participation. If we all take the time to assess our equipment and test our settings once we have logged into a meeting, it will ensure minimal disturbances. We will also take the time to do some basic training on the GoToTraining/Citrix tool at our next Club Assembly. Please direct any questions or concerns to rotaryeclub7090@roadrunner.com
The Rotary E-Club of SOWNY utilizes Citrix online tools; namely GoToTraining (GTT) and GoToMeeting (GTM). The GoToTraining tool is used for all Board Meetings, Club Assemblies and Regular Meetings when we host guest speakers and presentations.
We open our online meetings and stellar presentations to visiting Rotarians and guests outside of Rotary. If you would like to learn about our club, click on ALL ABOUT ROTARY and ALL ABOUT E-CLUB from our Home Page. Register for a presentation and meet us online! If you are interested in joining this E-Club, simply find our Membership Application online (Click on All About E-Club to download the application) and email your completed form to us. If you have questions, you can reach us at rotaryeclub7090@roadrunner.com
Our motto in Rotary is SERVICE ABOVE SELF. Members of our E-Club live or work or have some affiliation with our District 7090 encompassing Southern Ontario, Canada and Western New York, US, or are referred by a member of our club. We meet online on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Thursday evenings of each month at 7PM - 8PM. Plus we attend a traditional Rotary meeting once a month in our local area. It's fun, it's simple, it's cost effective and it takes up less time to belong to a Rotary E-Club. If this model is for you, we'd love to hear from you!
