We often talk about Rotary as an

extended family, with all of its branches

and generations. We value our youth and

alumni as important members of the

Rotary family, and we place a special

emphasis on service to children and

families. We do this because we know

that for any family, the youngest

generation is the future. That is

absolutely true for us in Rotary. We know

that it is essential for us to bring in a new

generation of younger Rotary members. We've spent a lot of time talking about how to

attract young professionals to Rotary – but perhaps we haven't talked enough about why they

don't stay.

There are plenty of young people, some of them youth who do join Rotary. But when they

begin families of their own, many of them leave. It isn't hard to see why: These are young

professionals who are already spending more time than they want to away from their families.

No matter how much they love and value Rotary, they are not going to prioritize their Rotary

service over their spouses and children. Nor should we ever expect them to.

This is why it is so important for us to find ways to welcome families into Rotary, so that

Rotary and the family are never in competition for a Rotarian's time. Whether it's by planning

service projects that involve the whole family, or being flexible about meeting places and

times, we need to make Rotary service a viable option for those with young children. When

you welcome families into Rotary, you're saying: Your family is not an obstacle to your Rotary

service. Instead of mom or dad going out to Rotary and leaving everyone else at home, Rotary

goes on the family calendar. The family of Rotary is real. Those children are going to grow up

seeing their parents involved in community service, and being involved in service themselves.

Not only is that a great thing for the family – it's a great thing for the Rotary club, which will be

helping to nurture a new generation of active, service-minded young members.

At every stage of our lives and our careers, Rotary has something for all of us – a way to let us

do more, give more, and be more. Rotary is big enough for us all.

Rotary Awareness Month

2

By Rtn Denis Jjuuko (PR Director)

Creating Rotary Awareness—the Mediums

This month is the Rotary Awareness Month and there are many ways of interpreting that. The way I understand it is the need to “publicise” our work and to “popularize” Rotary. And for many young clubs like ours—the awareness theme even ex-tends to publicizing our existence both within the Rotary frater-

nity and to the community.

So how does one publicise a Rotary Club and its activities? Unlike business entities, clubs have Public Relations Directors, but hardly have any resources for PR and marketing. Little wonder that so little is known of Rotary activities despite the wonderful work that is being done by clubs around the country. It is true that we will never have the resources that the MTNs of this world have to market their presence—but there are a few less costly means that clubs could consider to raise awareness.

Fellowships and Club Visits: Visiting and attending other club fellowships provides a free platform to publicise one’s club, its events and projects. While the audiences are largely composed of Rotarians, there are frequently non Rotarian guests for whom this information broadens their knowledge of what Rotarians are actually doing in different places. The chal-lenge for us Rotarians during fellowships is to be less “Rotarycentric’ or exclusive in our vocabulary and learn to speak about Rotary, our values and our projects in simpler and user friendly terms.

Literature: The reading culture in this country leaves a lot to be desired and yet nothing beats the written word. At Kampala Naalya, we have a weekly newsletter that has at-tempted to provide information on Rotary activities and the Club itself in “bite-sizes”. We distribute the newsletter both digitally to both Rotarians and non Rotarians and in hardcopy to all guests that attend our weekly fellowship. This way, it finds itself in homes and offices where other people can get to learn more about Rotary—both the serious and fun stuff.

Website and social media platforms: Nothing beats social media, if we want to reach the younger generation and the Rotarians of tomorrow. Social media networks particularly Fa-cebook, Twitter and ofcourse a website are your best choices for marketing your Rotary Club. At RC Kampala-Naalya, we even live tweet our guest presentations and in case of events, post photos on Facebook. We also have a Whatsapp group through which we share information and jokes—making Rotary both easily accessible and fun.

Branding : Signage at the Club’s home, banners wherever there are outreach projects and T-shirts are a must. At RC Kampala-Naalya, we have bags that are branded with our logo and have become a conversation opener about the Club. These are only a few ways—there are many others

WHAT’S UP

My Rotary Journey

Our Guest Speaker last week was Rtn Robert Rutaagi who shared the story of his Rotary journey and the factors that motivated him.

Like many other people, his first encounter with Rotarians left him with the impression that

Rotary was for the more affluent members of society. This was however later countered when he, while working in Kenya, became the 1st East African scholar to benefit from the Rotary International Scholarships.

His initial ‘admiration’ for Rotarians, gratitude for the Scholarship and engagement with highly respected members of society who were Rotarians are what eventually lured him to join the Rotary Club of Kampala (Arch).

The rest is history. Rtn Rutaagi, his mentors and members of Kampala Arch then embarked on a mission of expanding Rotary in Uganda with great zeal, despite misgivings from colleagues in both Kenya and Tanzania.

Rtn Rutaagi has since held several positions in Rotary including serving as President of RC Kampala Arch and later Charter President of Kampala day Break. He is well known for the establishment of several new Rotary Clubs including Kampala-Naalya where he served as the District Governor’s Special Representative.

In addition to expanding Rotary in Uganda, his dream is to see Uganda becoming a Rotary District in its own right.

RI President-elect Gary C.K. Huang chose Light Up Rotary as his theme for 2014-15. Huang was inspired by the teachings of Chinese philosopher Confucius who said: "It is better to light a single candle, than to sit and curse the darkness."

"There are so many problems in the world, so many people who need help. Many people say, 'There's nothing I can do.' So they sit there doing nothing. Meanwhile everything stays dark," Huang told the 537 district governors and their spouses and partners who are attending the 2014 International Assembly in San Diego, California.

"The Rotary way is the Confucius way. The Rotary way is to light a candle. I light one, you light one, 1.2 million Rotarians light one. Together, we light up the world," said Huang, who is a member of the Rotary Club of Taipei in Taiwan.

After announcing his theme at the opening session of the five-day training meeting, Huang urged club members to Light Up Rotary in the coming year by hosting a Rotary Day in their community and including local Rotaract and Interact members in their service projects.

"How you Light Up Rotary is up to you," Huang said. "You know where you are strong, you know what your community needs, and you know how you can help."

Huang also shared his membership goal of increasing membership to 1.3 million members. He is encouraging Rotarians to start with their spouses and family members.
