District 5790 Training/Technology Team
Posted on Aug 02, 2018
Did you know that District 5790 has a team of volunteers dedicated to helping clubs implement Rotary Technology?
 
Without a doubt, new technology can be frustrating. That is why District Governor Gerald Robinson and the Training/Technology Team Captain John Pokorny have put together a team of Rotary members from club throughout the district dedicated to helping your club implement Rotary Technology like Rotary Club Central in Rotary.org and ClubRunner in the District and Club websites. The team is made up of past presidents and club secretaries that have successfully applied some or all of these tools in their clubs. Club executives are encouraged to contact a team member to share their experience with these tools.

District 5790 Rotary Clubs are measuring their Progress

Failing to Plan is a Planning to Fail - Ben Franklin
 
Many of the districts 70 clubs have been hard at work this past month, doing their strategic planning and recording this years club goals and objectives in Rotary Club Central. Without a doubt, the leadership of these clubs are members that come from businesses where planning and tracking of business goals is a daily fact of life.  So, quite naturally, if they are going to volunteer and invest their time, talent and treasure in community service through Rotary, those same business tracking principles should apply.

July is New Rotary Officers Month. In preparation the new club officers have been planning and setting service goals for their club to achieve during the 2018-2019 Rotary year. District Governor Gerald Robinson is asking that clubs record their goals in Rotary Club Central before July 31, 2018.
 
The districts Training and Technology team is prepared to provide what ever training is needed to assist club leaders in recording their clubs goals in Rotary Club Central. Each of the districts 8 Areas has a Training and Technology Area Training Officer (ATO) assigned that will provide training and assistance when asked. To contact the Training and Technology ATO in your area, click here.
 
There are two sections in RCC that need to be completed; All the tabs in the Goal Center and the Service Activities section. The District 5790 Website includes some resources to assist clubs including:

Mid Cities Pacesetters Trinity High School Interact Club Selected as Best Interact Club
Posted by John Pokorny and Frank W. Allen on Jun 06, 2018
 
Congratulations, Trinity High School Interact Club
 
So, how does a high school Interact Club become an award winner?
 
By being an Interact Club whose members have a gifts to willingly share with the community. And that are mentored by and engaged with the sponsoring Rotary Club members.
 
As the webmaster of the District 5790 website, I had requested that all the 2017-2018 District 5790 award winning Rotary clubs send me photo's to include in a website story about the 2018 District Conference All Clubs Celebration district recognition awards. The Mid Cities Pacesetter Rotary Club one two awards including 1st Place in Vocational Service for medium size clubs. So naturally when they sent photo's they sent several photo's of the award winning Trinity High School Interact Club. As I reviewed the photo's I was struck by how engaged the Mid City Pacesetter members were with the members of the club they were sponsoring. At that point, I decided to do a separate story focusing on the Trinity High School Interact Club and their sponsor club Mid Cities Pacesetters RC. Club President Frank Allen was asked to prepare a short article about both clubs and their success. What follows are Franks article and several photo's from their very successful Rotary year.

District 5790 Recognizes our Vocational Hero's
Posted by Eddie Soleme on May 29, 2018
District 5790, once again, recognized vocations that live the Rotary moto, “Service Above Self.”  On Saturday, May 18, 2018, at the annual District Conference, awards were presented to a Teacher, a Veteran, a Police Officer and a Firefighter.
 
Clubs around the district recognized these professions throughout the year at their weekly meetings.  The clubs then submitted a nomination for each profession to the district for recognition at the district level.  Each of those nominations, from the various clubs, were compiled and presented to a panel of judges who then selected one person to be recognized for each profession.

Rotary District 5790 Making a Difference
It seems that Rotary District 5790 Rotary members simply can not stay out of the Rotary Magazine. Check out the December, 2017 edition. There is a great article about the Great Western Trail and Rotary member efforts preserve a bit of history. Rotarians from 3 countries led this effort to bring the overgrown trail back to life and install trail markers commemorating this wonderful bit of history. Fort Worth Rotary member Sylvia Mahoney along with several others on our district helped launch this effort which eventually led to hundreds of Rotary members from Mexico to Canada embracing the project.
 
Of course, if you have read the printed edition that came in the mail this week, you will also have seen  letters to the editor section of the magazine the photo of a Cross Timbers Rotary Club board meeting and a cryptic suggestion there may be a future RI president in that crowd.  Hmm...we can all say I knew them when.
