Why a club might use this

Visitors can understand what changed, who contributed, what remains uncertain and which project, service or partnership route fits their interest.

Use it when

  • Residents, supporters and partners seeking a coherent view of Rotary's current local service portfolio. Use when the purpose is to explain Rotary's own current portfolio rather than convene other organisations.

Before the club starts

  • Project selection, evidence sources, partner fact-checks and named story owners.
  • Specific image, quotation, personal-story, partner-mark and beneficiary permissions.
  • Venue plan, proof, wayfinding, access, presenter roster, fallback and budget approval.
  • Separate next actions for project, service, partnership, support, learning and membership where relevant.

Controls and safeguards

  • Proceed only when every selected story, partner attribution, visual, ambassador and response route passes proof; remove a weak story or defer production rather than fill the space decoratively.
  • Obtain specific permission for identifiable people, quotations, personal stories and partner or beneficiary information.
  • Build access into venue, route, display height, type, contrast, captions, audio, companion formats and response channels.

What to measure

  • Voluntary response and question themes about Rotary's current local role

Follow-up: Complete each project-specific promise, send partners the final authorised representation, remove or correct expired content, reconcile physical and digital assets and reuse only the approved controlled story modules.

Before your club says yes

Does the idea fit?

Talk with the people it is meant to serve and check that the need is real.

Who can say yes?

Name the person or group that can approve the work, spending and any safety arrangements.

Are people protected?

Check privacy, consent and safety. Collect only the information you genuinely need.

Can everyone take part?

Check the language, format, place, technology and cost for barriers.

Are the facts and permissions right?

Check names, claims, images, quotations, partner references and Rotary branding.

How will we learn?

Note where things stand now, check in at 30, 60 and 90 days, and decide what to do next.
