Take Action at the District Level – Take your next step in Rotary by joining the new District 5010 Action Team and helping Rotary help our communities statewide.  District 5010 is undertaking many new District-wide service activities and we’re looking for energetic Rotarians to help implement and manage these efforts as District leaders.   

This Year’s “Take-away Ideas”:  

• Developing and implementing highly cost-effective service projects.  More next month about District-wide projects in process.

• Rotary’s core values are our key to success and membership growth.

• Aim high!  Energy, vision, and innovation propel Rotary. 

Fraud alert: There’s another Internet fraud being sent to Rotarians, a document that appears to be from RI asking for your full name, contact information, and more.  Don’t respond.  RI already has any information needed for you.

Learning About Other Parts of Alaska: We’re a big state, with many different cultures and heritage: Do you know someone who would be an interesting presenter about various Alaska Native and other aspects of our state’s cultural heritage?  Let us know!

Youth Exchange:  The District’s Youth Exchange Committee is taking this year to redesign our Youth Exchange program from the ground up to incorporate modern best practices.  We’ll keep you informed.

Starting Thursday evening, September 10, our D5010 embarks upon a major District-wide project to assist communities across Alaska in building our local economies and making our communities more resilient.  A key focus of DG Joe Kashi's year will be to work with interested Rotary Clubs to help build local economies. Every Rotary Club and Rotarian can participate.  There’s no cost involved with implementing this national award-winning, proven grassroots program and it’s open to every community.  Our first forum features experienced State of Alaska economists Neal Fried and Karinne Wiebold examining Alaska’s current economic situation and how we got here. Join us.  A reminder invitation is emailed to club presidents for distribution to members.

Many donors in your district are planning their calendar year-end contributions. Calendar year end is a popular time for a number of giving options like: IRA Charitable Rollovers: Enables donors over 70 ½ years old to transfer up to $100,000 annually from their IRA account directly to charity. Corporate Matching: Employers can match any of your donations by sponsoring a matching gift program. Stock Gifts: Help Rotary make an impact and receive tax benefits by making a gift of appreciated securities.
