what we've been
through in the last few months
and secondly, it will enable us to chart our
future course together.
We want to explore how REQ should evolve,
amidst a
changing Rotary community and shifts
in our work and our membership.
Over the next few weeks you’ll be hearing from members
of the Board re
some proposed changes to REQs operating model.
We encourage open and honest
feedback ahead
of the all club session on June 17.

foreign coins.
Rotary will be collecting them at the
District Conference
so once we start meeting face-to-face again,
bring your coins along to a meeting and place them
in the collection bags that
all
Rotary Clubs will have available.
from this project and whilst many of our clubs understand
that this year may not be as successful, we can all do our little bit
Did you know that the
very first Rotary Club in 1905 had no dues?
Instead, they agreed that all
club expenses would be paid from $.50 fines.
In today's dollar, that fine would
be just over $13.
By 1915 Rotary International was on the verge of bankruptcy
and it's then President Frank Mulholland
suggested every Rotarian contribute $1
(just over $24 today),
and hence the concept of annual dues was born.
That $1
raised enough funds to make the organization whole,
and thanks to the
institution of dues RI has not suffered financially since.
Matthew once again will be participating in the
