Current playbook index title and category plus an internally authored detailed-guide draft
Initiative-specific development wave
How this draft was developed
These sources support general principles for mentoring, member connection and accessible participation; they do not constitute Rotary International or Australian Human Rights Commission endorsement of the named Mentorship Lunch Series initiative or this locally designed delivery model.
Primary references consulted
Deliver Continued Value(Rotary International) Used for: Rotary encourages clubs to create mentoring, professional development and cross-generational connection opportunities.; Member value can include connections based on interests and hobbies as well as service and leadership development.
Enhance Your Club's Culture(Rotary International) Used for: Rotary identifies mentoring, networking and leadership development among the experiences clubs can make visible to members.; Mentoring can also keep mentors engaged and help them strengthen leadership and member connections.
Hosting accessible and inclusive meetings and events(Australian Human Rights Commission) Used for: Inclusive event planning needs to consider accessible participation, communication and the practical meeting setting.; Organisers should provide a route for participants to request adjustments rather than assuming one format works for everyone.
Candidate District material consulted
These records remain draft evidence and still need a human source decision.
Club Playbook - Theme 2 Related draft concept only: optional coffee or lunch pairings based on shared interests as a way to build connection. The candidate does not specify a topic-based series, the current E-028 title or the safeguards in this draft.

6 attributed source claim(s) were mapped to their bounded use in this initiative.
Candidate District material remains separate and does not establish this result.
See each source's scope and limit
Deliver Continued Value Supports: The 49 attributed Theme 2 claims attached to this source, limited to the implementation elements and supporting documents named in each initiative-level claim mapping. Does not establish: That the initiative is endorsed by Rotary International or District 9510, that it is permitted by the club's governing documents, that members want it, that it suits the local club, or that it will achieve the intended outcome.
Enhance Your Club's Culture Supports: Member-centred culture review, barrier reduction, flexibility, mentoring and practical conversation about club renewal. Does not establish: That every suggested action suits the club, that the page diagnoses the club or that a proposed cultural change has member support or governing approval.
Hosting accessible and inclusive in-person meetings and events Supports: The 71 attributed Theme 2 claims attached to this source, limited to the implementation elements and supporting documents named in each initiative-level claim mapping. Does not establish: Accessibility or inclusion conformance, the needs or preferences of any person or community, cultural authority to act, the suitability of a format or venue, or local approval.
What still needs a person to confirm
Confirm the member, prospective-member, past-member and community needs, preferences and consent that the local design assumes.
Confirm which privacy, safeguarding, incorporated-association, charity, work health and safety, food, liquor, copyright, licensing, screening and other duties apply to the club and the activity.
Test accessibility, cultural safety, belonging, language and alternative participation routes with affected people and recognise First Nations cultural authority rather than inferring suitability from the guide.
Confirm every local fact, starting point, cost, role, current service contact, measure, stopping condition and platform capability before the club decides to proceed.
Confirm the authority and current scope of each primary source, resolve login-gated or moved-page references and keep any candidate District material attributed and unapproved until its source decision is made.
The source-verification release gate remains closed.
Checks still on hold
The club must approve the cost, subsidy, alcohol, food-safety, accessibility, transport and cancellation approach for the chosen venues.
Hosts must disclose conflicts and must not use the series for recruitment, business promotion or regulated advice.
Registrations, questions and access or dietary information must be collected only for the series, restricted and removed when no longer needed.
The series requires a current concern and referral route, including for conduct, complaints, safeguarding and professional-boundary issues.
Still an internal draft: source interpretation, local suitability, accessibility, governance and editorial approval remain open checks.
What could this idea change?
It helps knowledge, confidence and encouragement move between members instead of resting with a few people.
It may suit: Members seeking guidance or a new challenge, and the people offering practical support.
Could this work in our club?
Consider Mentorship Lunch Series when members want guidance or a next challenge but the available pathways are hard to see.
Members who prefer informal conversation and would value hearing several perspectives before choosing a mentor or pathway.
Clubs with experienced members willing to host a bounded discussion but unable to commit to long-term mentoring pairs.
A three-lunch pilot over 90 days, with a telephone or online equivalent and one member-owned action after each conversation.
Before you start
A short member topic check that asks what people want to explore and lets them disclose no more personal detail than is needed to choose a session.
Three willing hosts or mentors briefed on listening, questions before advice, privacy, conflicts, referral boundaries and the right to pass.
An affordable and accessible venue, food-optional participation, dietary and transport arrangements and an equivalent online or telephone route.
A series coordinator with private registration, cancellation, concern and follow-up processes and authority to stop inappropriate advice or behaviour.
At the end: At the 90-day review, compare the recorded measures with the starting point, resolve the listed governance holds and tell participants whether Mentorship Lunch Series will change, continue or stop.
