What is happening next week

Joke of the Week

Two young blonde women are sitting at a bar in such an obviously celebratory

mood that the bartender drifts over intending to offer them a drink on the

house.

When he gets close he hears one say to the other, "Here's to 17 days!"

Smiling, the bartender says, "Congratulations! What's so special about 17

days?"

Eyes twinkling, one of the women explains, "Well, we've been spending our

evenings working on a jigsaw puzzle! And it said 3-5 years on the box, but

we finished it in only 17 days!"

If you have been saving your old postage stamps for us,

Websites, Social Media and Rotary ClubsPosted on March 24, 2012 by John Borst, Director Communications, District 5550

District 5550 has 48 clubs; 14 still do not have a website. Without a website, those clubs have noway of sharing the local Rotary story among their friends, relatives, other Rotarians or the rest ofthe World. Similarly, many of those who do have a Club website but have not kept them currentare in the same situation.

At the same time, Rotary in District 5550 has a membership crisis on its hands. Over the past fiveyears we have had a net loss of over 100 members. Twice as many clubs have had net losses, as hadnet gains. Obviously this cant go on forever or Rotary in Central Canada will cease to exist.

There is only one way to reverse this trend and that is for each one of us to put more effort into therecruitment of new members. The best way to do this is still to ask, and ask and ask again,community members in face to face conversations to join Rotary.

But communication in the 21st Century has tools to get the message out about Rotary which havenever before existed. As Rotarians if we really care about the continuation of this organization and

what it stands for, we simply cant afford to ignore the new communication tools, provided bysocial media; not at the International level, not at the district level, not at the club level andespecially not at the personal level.

Yes at the personal level. Let me try to explain why this is really the most important level.

The Internet has spawned a nomenclature based on numbers. First there was just The Web. Butthen a funny thing happened suddenly there appeared something called Web 2.0 programs. Sonow we often hear about Web 1.0 and Web 2.0.

First, lets review how Rotary clubs communicate both internally to its members and externally tothe local community. Although I do not have specific numbers, it appears every club has aninternal newsletter. Today these are written on word processing software. This is pre-Internettechnology but many clubs use e-mail to distribute it so we might classify this activity as Web 0.5;since they are using the web to send the newsletter out.

Web 1.0 is where we are trying to get all clubs. A website is a Web 1.0 communications application.

The club simply provides the content and people have to look for the website. In other wordsnewsletters push information out to its members but websites have to pull readers to it. Thismeans they have to be constantly updated, and have an attractive presentation layout.

Their advantage is that anyone in the world can find them even if the club is located in someremote corner of Saskatchewan, Manitoba or Northwestern Ontario. Now even the most remoteclub can promote Rotary. As such every Club becomes a spokesperson for Rotary throughout the

whole world.

The beauty of Web 2.0 however is that it combines aspects of push and pull. But most importantlyit permits a two way exchange of information to occur.

The first major application to take off in the early years of the 21st Century was the blog. Blogswere and still are pre-programmed almost free websites formats which permit individuals orgroups of individuals to write articles or post pictures. They are interactive because a reader canleave a comment on the blog for the author and a conversation could follow. So Web 2.0 became atwo way street. It also created a network. People who liked your blog would add it to their blogrole. This way your number of visitors expanded. The more blog rolls your site appeared on themore readers you got and more importantly the higher was your placement on a new search enginecalled Google.

In addition to blogs, sites like Yahoo created discussion groups where people could register for agroup. Everyone, for example, who read some obscure magazine, could now talk to one anotherabout the article they had just read and share other articles from anywhere on other websites.

As the decade progressed these two systems merged into what we call social media. We know themas Facebook and Twitter. Facebook was conceived as a sort of electronic post-it board foruniversity students while Twitter is known as a blog in 140 characters.

Linkedin is a spin-off from discussion groups aimed at businessprofessionals where your profile becomes as important as the discussions

you have.Pinterest, Rotarys latest venture into yet another social media format uses the sharing of picturespined to a bulletin board to share your likes. Each of these interactive formats is also linked to theother.

In a sense each person who creates a post or links to another website creates the content of one ormore social media sites.

Hopefully what you can see happening is that there is an ever wideningstream of content being created. Think of it as a river. At the source is thecontent of the Club newsletter. This can and should become the foundational

content of the Clubs website. That content can now become the content of an individual RotariansFacebook page or Twitter post called a tweet. At each level it is likely that more and more people

will be exposed to the work of your Rotary club especially if collectively, every member was to havehis or her own social media site where he or she promotes Rotary.

Rotary has also been encouraging Clubs and districts to have their ownFacebook and Twitter pages. The thinking is that more people will likelyfollow the Facebook page than the actual website or that it will lead others tothe website. A more important reason for having a club or district Facebook,Twitter or Pinterest page is because it permits others to share the contentlinks more easily with just one or two clicks. Again the best reason for havinga club social media site is that it makes it easier for members to spread theRotary message on personal social media pages.

What is also important to comprehend is that the underlying organizational structure of socialmedia is the very antithesis of the traditional pyramidal top down bottom up structure.

Think of a page with hundreds of individual cells representing clubs, districts zones, and individualRotarians all sending messages across the entire playing field without regard to position, rank, or

years of service and you get some idea of the kind of networking which is taking place withinRotary using social media. I call it a distributive communications system.

But that same distributive system also permits us to get our story out to a much broader non-Rotarian audience. In short the goal is to get Rotarys message out well beyond the playing field.

As I see it this is where club websites come in. A club website provides the content for the localstories that make up Rotarys larger story. RotaryInternationals website provides the big storycontent, such as our efforts to eradicate Polio or exemplary literacy, water or medical initiatives.Only by RI & Clubs working in tandem can individual Rotarians find the content to share on theirpersonal Facebook, Twitter, and now Pinterest accounts.

We need to understand that it is really at the level of the individual Rotarian where the greatestdistributive power lies. Think of it this way, each Rotarian is sharing with friends andacquaintances the work of Rotary when he posts a comment at his Facebook page about somethinghis local club has done and then links it to more detail on the Clubs website.

Clubs cannot depend on a District website to get their message out. Few districts actually structurethemselves as a news site sharing club achievements. When I did a comparison of the most recent200 visitors to a District site vs. a Club site, I found to my surprise, that although the 200 visitorstook a longer period of time to accumulate at the Club site, they were actually more dispersedthroughout the world than the District visitors. District visitors were far more likely to be from

within the District than outside it.

If Clubs wonder who their audience is and why they should have a website it is not good enough tothink just about getting the message out to the local community. The reality is that local when itcomes to Rotary is really the World, especially for a club.

So even if you are a Rotary club in a small village, in an area big city people might call the middleof nowhere, you too need to share your unique Rotary stories with the World.

And thats why 14 District 5550 clubs need to create a website and many others need to getcracken and get theirs current. And you never know we might just get some new Rotarians as a

bonus.

According to a 2010 survey released by the British based Charities Aid Foundation,Australia and New Zealand are more charitable and volunteer more than any other country in

the world.

We ranked first out of 153 nations on the willingness of our citizens to donate time and moneyto charity!

End of May is Hats OFF Day -

http://www.actcancer.org/news/detail.aspx?id=232

Toward the end of May is when we start to experience 'low' UV levels (under 3)throughout the entire day in Canberra. The end of May is the time of the year whenCancer Council ACT reminds Canberrans, primary schools and early childhood servicesthat they can once again safely shed their hats andsunscreen without worrying aboutincreasing long term risks of skin cancer.

Hats and other forms of sun protection including sunscreen are not really necessary inCanberra around the June and July period due to 'low' UV levels (under 3).

Around the June and July period in Canberra, average daily UV levels fall, and staybelow 3, every day, all day, a level that is not considered damaging to unprotected skinand eyes.

ACT primary schools and eary childhood services do not need to implement their usualsun protection strategies during this time of the year. This is a good time of the year forteachers and educators to explain to children what sun protection is all about and whyand when we need to be SunSmart- (Smart in the Sun).

ACT schools and early childhood services can now upload the new SunSmart Web Widget to their website- this tool not onlydisplays the time of the day to be SunSmart (or not)- but also the local weather forecast. Click hereto upload your SunSmart WebWidget today.

However, there are a few exceptions to the "Hats Off" rule. If spending extended time outdoors (eg outdoor excursions and all dayevents etc) then wearing a hat and using shade is still advisable. Likewise, sun protection may still be neccessary if visiting A lpineareas or heading north.

And whilst small amounts of direct sun exposure is considered safe for babies when UV levels are low (under 3), again, if spendingtime outdoors during this period then continue to protect your baby's skin with clothing and seeking out shade.

Cancer Council ACT is conscious that Canberrans shouldnt compromise their winter vitamin D levels by adopting sun protectionbehaviour when its not really necessary.

Vitamin Dis largely created in the body as a result of exposure to the suns ultraviolet radiation (UVB), and is important for goodbone and muscle development, and general health. Whilst the majority of Canberrans achieve adequate vitamin D levels throughthe sun exposure they receive during typical day to day outdoor activities throughout the year, there are groups in the commu nitythat may have difficulty maintaining adequate levels, especially during the winter period.

Groups that are more likely to be at risk of low vitamin D levels include:

Naturally very dark skinned people who need more UV exposure to produce adequate levels of vitamin D as the pigmentin their skin reduces UV absorption

people who cover their skin for religious or cultural purposes the elderly and people who are housebound or in institutional care babies of vitamin D deficient mothers, especially those who are exclusively or partially breastfed people in occupations such as factory workers and night-shift workers, and indoor workers those who avoid the sun for cosmetic or health reasons

People in these groups, and others who think they may be low in vitamin D,should talk to their doctor. Low vitamin D levels may have no obvious symptoms,but without treatment, it can have significant long term health effects andsupplementation may be required.

The majority of Canberrans can maintain their vitamin D levels during June andJuly by getting approximately 2-3 hours of sun exposure to their face, arms andhands (or equivalent) spread over over each week. Canberrans should therforebe aiming to get outdoors during the middle of the dayto enjoy some winter sunto maintain adequate vitamin D levels andto remain physical and active forgeneral health purposes.

To know when sun protection is and is not really recommended in Canberra

each day and to maintain the balance between healthy sun protection andvitamin D, Cancer Council ACT encourages school teachers to get into the habitof accessing the dailySunSmart UV Indexto see what time of the day sunprotection is actually recommended in Canberra.

Support Go Red for Women at Riverside Plaza

Did you know heart disease is the No. 1 killer of Australian women?Most Australian women don't know that heart disease kills four times as many women as breastcancer. In fact, heart disease kills over 10, 400 women every year, or 29 women per day.

We're here to change that - Riverside Plaza is a proud sponsor of the Heart Foundation's Go Redfor Women campaign. The Go Red for Women campaign unites women in the fight against heartdisease - together we can make a big difference in improving the heart health of Australianwomen.

There is no single cause of heart disease, but risk factors can increase your chance of developingheart disease. Risk factors include high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol. InAustralia, 90% of women have one risk factor and 50% of women have two or three risk factors.

The good news is that heart disease is largely preventable, because most risk factors can bemanaged or reduced. Here's how you can help raise awareness and lower your risks.

June is Go Red for Women month. Here's how you can make a difference at Riverside Plaza:
