WHAT IS ROTARY?
As club president, you are the leader and spokesperson of your Rotary Club. You will be addressing and speaking with non-Rotary audiences, including the media, at project events and dedications, club visits, and other occasions.Work closely with your public relations committee to develop concise statements to explain Rotary and your club to the media.
As a spokesperson, you must be prepared to answer each of the following questions positively, concisely and factually.
What is Rotary? Who are Rotarians? What does Rotary do?
What is Rotary?Rotary is an organisation of business and professional leaders united worldwide, who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world.
Rotary is the world’s first service Club. The first Rotary club was founded in Chicago, Illinois, USA on 23rd February, 1905.
Who are Rotarians?Rotarians are some 1.2 million service minded men and women belonging to more than 33,000 Rotary clubs in virtually every nation in the world. Rotarians meet weekly for fellowship and interesting and innovative programs dealing with topics of local and global importance. Membership reflects a wide cross-section of community representation.
What does Rotary do?Rotarians plan and carry out a remarkable variety of humanitarian, educational and cultural exchange programs and touch people’s lives in their local communities and our world.
The Object of RotaryThe object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and in particular to encourage and foster:
FIRST: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service;
SECOND: High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society;
THIRD: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business and community life; and

FOURTH: The advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
The Ideal of ServiceThoughtfulness of others is the basis of service.Helpfulness to others is its expression.Together, they constitute the ideal of service.The ideal of service is exemplified in the activities of Rotary Clubs and Rotarians, through club, vocational, community and international service.
The 4 Way Test1. Is it the TRUTH?2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
The Rotary Foundation
The Rotary Foundation is Rotary’s own charity, which each year provides in excess of US$100 million for international scholarships, cultural exchanges and humanitarian projects large and small that provide the equality of life for disadvantaged people. Rotary is widely regarded as the world’s largest provider of international and educational scholarships.
The mission of The Rotary Foundation is to support the efforts of Rotary International in the fulfilment of the Object of Rotary, Rotary’s mission, and the achievement of world understanding, goodwill and peace through local, national and international humanitarian, educational and cultural programs and the improvement of health and the alleviation of poverty.
The Rotary Foundation provides your club the opportunity to participate in and contribute to programs that make a difference in the lives of people around the globe. Participation in Rotary Foundation activities can help attract and retain members. When Rotarians directly experience Foundation programs, they can be inspired to contribute to The Rotary Foundation. Foundation programs are supported solely by voluntary contributions from Rotarians and friends of the Foundation who share its vision for a better world.

DUTIES AND ROLE OF THE CLUB PRESIDENT
Unless you are quite unusual, you will be approaching your year with mixed feelings of excitement and apprehension, but it is very important to remember that you were chosen by your Rotary peers for this role.
They do not expect a ‘super person’. They do not expect you to re-invent yourself into some new identity. They have probably known you for years. They are likely to know more about you than you think and have made up their minds about you long ago.
They have decided that they wanted you as their ‘leader’ for the year ahead.
That is a great compliment, and all you can do is your best to live up to their expectations.
The other side of the coin is that you know them.
If you have the happy gift of enthusing and motivating people, that will be a powerful tool for you, however, if you are more ordinary, like most of us, your best chance of advancing your Club is to lead from the front - to lead by example.
Rotarians are all volunteers. You can’t order them to do anything - you can only ask, and being nice people as they are, if they feel that you are doing the right thing by their Club and by Rotary, they will go along with what you ask ….. up to a point.
The best example you can set is to keep the hammers down on yourself. Be tireless in communication, generous in your support, attend everything you can. Put in a real effort!
Set the example, others will follow - but they will only go so far.
Know your Club, don’t try to reinvent it.
Your task is not to perform miracles, or expect others to do likewise. If you can draw your Club along to an ‘improved performance’ at the end of the year, they will be pleased with their choice, and you will be pleased with your own success.
What do we mean by ‘improved performance’? Well that can mean many things.
Essentially the extent that a club may improve depends on its culture, size, enthusiasm, and attitude.
There are many measures of success of a Rotary Club. Later in these notes there is a sheet which may assist you in a ‘common sense’ manner. The important thing is for you to know what makes your Club work.

SELECTING YOUR CLUB TEAM
The officers and directors of the club constitute your team for the year. The directors are planners and policy-makers, within the avenues of service.The officers – secretary, treasurer, sergeant-at-arms, yourself, and your vice president (if you have one), are the club’s executive who keep the club operating.
The best people for any of these jobs are those whom you believe are going to be reliable.
That essential quality can be regulated not only by personality or personal friendship, but also by time and family commitments. Don’t overload a willing worker, no matter how much you think you need him/her, because it may bounce back at you.
Some gentle hints:
It will be very helpful if your secretary is computer literate and has access to email and your treasurer has a background in Accountancy.
Some experience on your board is always a great support, but a mixture is invaluable and by all means select new blood. The will to learn is part of the joy of Rotary and new blood can be very dedicated to your aims.

PROTOCOL
There are Rotary Clubs where members wear reefer jackets and Rotary Clubs whose members wear jeans. That doesn’t matter in itself. What matters is how the Club conducts itself and how it feels about itself; the image the club projects at its meetings and in the community generally.
What is the face that your Club shows the community? Soon it will be your responsibility to make sure your Club presents well. Why is this so important?
Apart from self-respect, it is important to remember that your club is the local representative of a highly respected world-wide organisation, Rotary International. How your club looks and behaves will reflect on RI. We know that RI relies very much on a positive image in carrying out its global and local tasks. None of us can afford to let the side down!
Think of each of your Club Meetings as a family dinner party with guests.
Will you clean yourself up after work? Of course you will. Will you be careful about the dinner and make sure the house is clean
and tidy? Of course you will. Will you drink too much; tell rude jokes in front of your wife, children
and guests? Of course you won’t.
It really is a very simple test: Would you be happy to invite your family, or your friends, or any guest or stranger along to one of your Club Meetings, and be proud to welcome them? If the answer is: ‘well, maybe not entirely,’ then you have a challenge ahead of you.
Bulletins
What about your Bulletin? Does it respect our great organisation? Maybe it has jokes. Are they jokes you would share with your children? Does it follow the guidelines for Club Bulletins? These guidelines are set up carefully to maximise good PR in your
family, and in the community. Getting your Club Bulletin ‘up to scratch’ is now within your reach.
Meeting Procedures District 9820 Pre-PETS Training Seminar for Presidents 2011-2012
11
How about the club’s meeting procedures? Most Rotarians seem to feel comfortable with a set Meeting routine.
Have you got a clear running sheet for each week? Have you got a roster and a policy about greeting visitors or guests or
the Guest Speaker? What do you expect your Rotarian-on-Duty or your door team to do for
them? Make them welcome? Offer them a drink? Show them where to sit? Sit with them and explain Rotary things during the meeting? Say good-bye to them with the same courtesy as your welcome? Have you got a clear policy about payment for meals for
visitors/guests/Guest Speakers/even the over-worked AGs? Same question applies to drinks. What you (and your Board) decide is your concern. What is important is that all your members have no doubt about what is
the right thing to do when it is their time to be responsible.
Good Protocol is 90% natural thoughtfulness and courtesy, 9% forethought and planning and about 1% ritual.

PUBLIC SPEAKINGAs the President of your Rotary Club, you will be involved in public speaking at every meeting and on various other occasions. Whether you like it or not, public speaking is very relevant to you and for your Rotary year and will be an inescapable part of your role as President.
It is a good idea to spend some time before every meeting planning what you will say and at what point.
Public speaking is a fantastic communication skill. If done correctly it can be an effective way of getting your message out there.
Helpful Tips
The following are some simple tips that will give you that will give you the edge in public speaking.
Step 1: Planning/preparationBefore each meeting or occasion you are to speak at, it is important that you know and understand all the practical details of the public speaking situation that you are about to enter.
Knowledge of the occasionThe content, tone and length of your speech should be shaped according to the nature of the occasion at which you will be speaking. So before you start writing it’s a good idea to think about things like:
whether you are speaking at an academic, celebratory or solemn occasion;
whether you are the only speaker or whether you are one of several; and
At what stage of the proceedings you will be speaking.
Knowledge of your audienceUnderstanding your audience is an essential ingredient to writing a successful speech, as you need to communicate your message to this specific group of people. The type of speech that appeals to and is appropriate for one type of audience may not be the case for another. In light of this, understanding your audience will help you to decide the best way to deliver your message. Before you begin writing, it is a good idea to think about whether your audience is:
young or old High or low income educated or uneducated Australian or foreign?

PracticePractice, practice, practice! Practice in front of the mirror, practice in front of friends and family, record your speech and play it back to yourself. Knowing your material is essential to public speaking success. Practice runs of your speech will be most beneficial if you make them as realistic as possible. You can do this by:
using the speech aids and visual aids that you intend to use; sticking to the time limit that you have been given.
Arrive earlyArriving early to the occasion is a must for any public speaker. Allowing yourself this extra time, gives you the chance to familiarise yourself with both the audience and venue, and check up on significant details such as:
the size and shape of the room whether or not there is a podium whether there is a microphone (and that it works) the type of technical assistance that is available to you.
By doing this you are not only taking some of the uncertainty out of your public speaking experience, but you are also reducing your chances of running in to any technical difficulties.
Step 2: DeliveryAs I mentioned before, the ultimate purpose of any speech – is to communicate your message to your audience. There is no use knowing all there is to know about a subject, if you don’t know how to communicate it effectively. As a result the success of your speech very much depends on how well it is delivered.
LanguageThe language you use should be comfortable for both you and the audience. It’s a good idea to avoid bookish language or technical jargon. Rather use words that are natural to you and phrases that are understood by all.
Get to the pointThe expression ‘less is more’ is very relevant to public speaking. It is important not to tell the audience everything you know, rather tell the audience what it is that they need to know. Being able to select the best and most relevant information to include in your speech is an invaluable skill. However be careful—picking and choosing what is to be included in your speech does not mean that your speech should only deliver half the story. A good speech delivers the whole story but in a manner that is quick, clear and understandable.

Add variety

A great way to engage your audience and maintain their attention is by delivering information in a way that they can relate to. When writing your speech try to think of how you can bring your topic back to the everyday. By simply dropping in a few anecdotes and using practical examples to illustrate a point, you will make it easier for your audience to understand complex issues and to actually remember what it is that you have said!
Introducing a bit of humour is a sure way to win over an audience, but if you’re not a funny person you should probably give this a miss. There’s nothing worse than an uncomfortable silence after a punch line!
ToneWhen delivering a speech, how you say something can be just as important as what you say. No matter how interesting your speech may be, speaking in a monotone is a sure way of putting your audience to sleep. In light of this, it is important that you vary the pitch and character of your voice so that it complements and emphasises what it is you are trying to say.
PaceSticking to a steady pace can be challenging for some speakers, especially if they are nervous. When delivering your speech, make a conscious effort to speak slowly and clearly.
VolumeSpeaking at a good volume is another important factor. Your voice should be loud enough so that it carries to the back wall, but not too loud so you are shouting at the audience!
Body language & gesturesMuch of communication comes through body language. How you hold yourself carries a very strong message, so when making a speech, it is important to be aware of it and use it to your advantage.
Posture—if there is a podium, do not use it to lean forward, this can be intimidating to an audience, however it is equally as important not to lean backwards either. It is best to maintain a relaxed but upright posture. Keep your feet firmly grounded with your legs shoulder width apart, this will help you to keep your balance.
Make an effort to be aware of what you do with your hands. Hands are prone to fidgeting and have a tendency to take on a life of their own, so it is important that you keep them under control. Exactly where they should be placed is another consideration; for starters do not put your hands in your pockets—you’ll sound like a change machine and look like you have a bad attitude. Don’t place them behind your back either—you will look too formal as well as feeling unnatural. It is best to leave your arms comfortably by your side allowing them the freedom to gesture.
Gesturing with your head and arms is part and parcel of communicating. It is the way in which we add life and emphasis to the
District 9820 Pre-PETS Training Seminar for Presidents 2011-2012
15
spoken word, so it is only natural that they play an important role in public speaking. While gestures can be useful to emphasise a particular point, it is important that they be kept natural/spontaneous. Over-exaggerated or forced gestures can work to your disadvantage, for you are in danger of distracting the audience and therefore detracting from what you are saying.
Dress—your physical appearance can shape first impressions and so should be an important consideration. Be sure that you are wearing something that is comfortable for both you and the audience. It is not a good idea to be standing in front of an audience dressed in a pair of jeans that are painfully small or in a hot pink tank top that is painful to look at. When it comes to clothing, simplicity is the key. Opt for neutral tones and simple cuts. After all, your audience should be focused on what you are saying not on what you are wearing.
Eye contact—ask any expert and they’ll guarantee that making and maintaining eye contact with your audience is an essential element of good public speaking. This simple tool works wonders on the audience—by engaging their attention at the start of the speech and securing their interest and respect throughout.
Speech aids
A definite “don’t” for public speaking is to read from a script of your entire speech. No matter how well you know it, or how many times you have practiced, when standing in front of an audience the temptation to read it out word for word is very powerful. It is also very likely to result in a loss of eye-contact with your audience and therefore loss of their attention.
If you require a speech aid, the best option is to write a skeleton of your thoughts on 3 x 5 palm cards. These cards should be filled with key points or topic sentences that jog/stimulate your memory and help to guide you through your speech.
Visual aidsA picture speaks a thousand words, so the use of visual aids such as projectors or power point can be a great technique to help you convey your message more powerfully. However a few words of caution:
make sure you speak to your audience and not to your slides do not swamp your audience with images, remember, the slides are
there to support your speech and not the other way around before you begin, make sure the slides can be seen clearly from every
seat in the room.
Controlling nervesSo far as fears go, public speaking ranks right up there with the worst of them.
District 9820 Pre-PETS Training Seminar for Presidents 2011-2012
16
Some people go so far as to say they would rather die than give a speech in public. If you are someone that suffers from nerves, focusing on these anxieties is unproductive. For you, the best way forward is to think up strategies to control those nerves, so that they don’t control you. It is important that you find the relaxation technique that works best for you such as positive visualisation or deep breathing.
Some quick tips
Don’t drink too much caffeine before giving your speech—it tends to give people the shakes and nerves will make this worse.
Preparation prevents panic—knowing your material well will really boost your confidence
If you make a mistake don’t worry. The chances are the audience didn’t notice. If it is obvious, don’t apologise, simply make the correction and continue with the rest of your speech.
Remember—no matter how large an audience seems—it is made up of individuals.

"DISTRICT HAPPENINGS" Governor David's letter to the District
December is Family month
Christmas is the season of goodwill, of happiness and remembering.
It is a time to put our families at the forefront of our attention.
There is no doubt in my mind that our own families should be central to our activities at this time, our wives, husbands, parents, children, grandchildren and all within our family group.
There are many pressures and disruptive influences in modern life that threaten the traditional family so that we need to ensure that we keep a balance; supporting and enhancing our home lives and family activities. Try always to put your families first with practical and moral support and leadership. Now is a good time to demonstrate how much we value the support from our families during the rest of the year.
Do not forget the family of Rotary.
The members of Rotary as well as those who help us in our Rotary work.
Remember those who have difficult or challenging situations; those who may be ill or lonely and include them in your thoughts and activities or schedule in a visit to show you care. Include alumni and surviving spouses in your club's Christmas events.
Finally remember the family of humanity; those across the world in poor circumstances or suffering from the effects of disasters who need our efforts to put something into their lives, to make their world a better place. Think about those needing our help in preparation for the plans you will make next year.
Aileen and I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a safe, secure and successful New Year.
Yours in Rotary David Piper "MAKE IT HAPPEN" in District 9820
