Link to the District's Speaker's Bureau
The District Office receives many offers of programs for clubs’ consideration. They have set up a Speaker’s Bureau online to help you find programs, and they add new programs quite often. Date added is far right hand column. You will need the account name (future) and password (yourhands) to access this list. Here is a link.
Fair and Balanced
Please note that our club has a long standing policy regarding political candidates as speakers:
"During election season, elected officials or announced candidates may not speak to the Stillwater Sunrise Rotary Club after June 1 in the year they are up for election."
This preserves the club's "fair and balanced" status amongst our members. Thank you for understanding.
Rotary's Areas of Focus
Rotary support grants and other activities based on six areas of focus:
- Water & Sanitation
- Education and Literacy
- Peace and Conflict Prevention/Resolution
- Maternal & Child health
- Economic Development
- Disease Prevention & Treatment
We strive to present programs that identify with at least one of these areas of focus.
