Source material
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 voluntary Rotary reconnection and purpose-limited use of contact information; they are not an endorsement of the named “We Miss You” Card Campaign or authority to contact any former member.
Primary references consulted
Rotary Clubs(Rotary International) Used for: Rotary provides a voluntary route for people whose circumstances have changed to rejoin a former club or find another club.
Read the Australian Privacy Principles(Office of the Australian Information Commissioner) Used for: Where the Australian Privacy Principles apply, use of personal information for a secondary purpose and direct marketing require an applicable basis and relevant safeguards.
Chapter 6: APP 6 Use or Disclosure of Personal Information(Office of the Australian Information Commissioner) Used for: Personal information should not be reused or disclosed beyond the understood purpose without an applicable basis.
Candidate District material consulted
These records remain draft evidence and still need a human source decision.
Club Playbook - Theme 2 Candidate record 78 “We Miss You” Card Project provides the related handwritten-card, warmth, no-recruitment and social-invitation concept. It is not a literal current-title match and does not supply contact authority, exclusions, household privacy, response, no-pursuit or data-closeout controls.
Theme 2 source-assurance wave
What has been checked
3 current primary pages used by this guide were reopened on 9 August 2026.
3 attributed source claim(s) were mapped to their bounded use in this initiative.
Candidate District material remains separate and does not establish this result.

Rotary clubs Supports: The 12 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.
Read the Australian Privacy Principles Supports: The 2 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: Whether the Privacy Act or another duty applies to this club, whether consent is informed and valid, whether collection or publication is authorised, or whether the proposed safeguards are sufficient in the actual circumstances.
Chapter 6: APP 6 Use or Disclosure of Personal Information Supports: The 21 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: Whether the Privacy Act or another duty applies to this club, whether consent is informed and valid, whether collection or publication is authorised, or whether the proposed safeguards are sufficient in the actual circumstances.
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 contact purpose, privacy basis, eligible cohort, exclusions, message, response service and deletion controls.
No person may be contacted through an uncertain source, after a no-contact choice or where a complaint, safety matter or sensitive circumstance makes the approach unsuitable.
The card cannot seek membership, money, an explanation or publicity, and silence cannot trigger another approach.
The privacy obligations that apply to the club must be confirmed locally; this guide does not determine legal coverage or authorise contact.
Still an internal draft: source interpretation, local suitability, accessibility, governance and editorial approval remain open checks.
