Keeping up with technology, the Rotary Rotorua Sunrise way!

After months of planning and preparation the Rotary Club of Rotorua Sunrise has celebrated the launch of their new website. This new site focuses on telling stories of the members and beneficiaries of projects as a way to encourage and inspire with the Rotary story.
 

The decision to re-do the website was to ensure that Rotary Rotorua Sunrise stays relevant with changing technology and the new Rotary brand guidelines. The new website is responsive which means it automatically resizes for mobile and tablet devices. It also integrates with the Facebook page and YouTube Channel of Rotary Rotorua Sunrise, keeping communication channels open.
 

The site was sponsored and developed by one of the youngest Rotorua Sunrise members Rachel Warrender and her web design company Dubzz Digital Marketing. "It was created with the new Rotary branding in mind, and as a way to inspire both members and the general public. We saw this as a great opportunity to not only support Rotary Rotorua Sunrise, but to support the wider local and global community that is touched by the work of Rotary Rotorua Sunrise every year," explained Rachel.
 

A major component of the new website is the ability for all members to be able to contribute and update the website. Each committee is responsible for updating information about their projects and upcoming events. Special features include a segment on ‘Our Stories’, highlighting the Rotary story of some of our Rotarians and what drives them. It also has a calendar of all club events, a member list, project information, links to learn more about Rotary, and plenty of pictures of the fun that Rotary Rotorua Sunrise enjoys.
 

Training sessions are scheduled to teach the members how to make changes on the site, as a full team effort will ensure the most up to date and relevant information appears on the site. It is also a great chance for members to learn and develop their skills in the online space.
 

You can visit the new website at www.rotaryrotoruasunrise.co.nz and visit the Facebook page at www.facebook.com/rotaryrotoruasunrise.


Editor note:  Even with separate web sites, clubs still maintain a presence within www.rotarysouthpacific.org where main club contacts are held - this supports a cohesive Rotary administration and communications system across Rotary in NZ and the Pacific.  Links are used betwee the two to prevent duplication and make best use of the strengths of both sites.

Important Notice for Club Secretaries

As a part of Rotary Down Under's on-going service improvements, Rotary Down Under subscriptions are going online!

Clubs will now have the opportunity to view and update their subscriber listing online by logging in to our new online facility. You will now be able to add, delete and make changes to both club and member data.

This online facility will have several advantages;

-          prompt updating, ensuring the database is an accurate record of club subscribers

-          accurate invoicing of subscription quantities

-          readily available access allowing clubs to view a full listing of current subscribers and their details at all times

-          time and cost savings for the club as there will be less need to contact our office to check or amend subscriptions

All club and subscriber data will be accessible, after login in and password, by the club secretary or designated officer, and will be presented in an easy to use format. The data will be used by Rotary Down Under to provide the monthly Rotary Down Under magazine to subscribers, and to facilitate our mailings to the club.

In order to commence using this service we need to provide clubs with a login and password and ask all club secretary's to provide their email address and club name to subscriptions@rotarydownunder.com.au - we will then forward to you your login id and password (to be updated by the club upon receipt).

We look forward to many clubs taking up this opportunity and should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact us at (61) 2 96334888.

Yours faithfully,

Frances Campbell

Administration Manager

PS: This online service should not be confused with any data you are required to provide Rotary International and is for Rotary Down Under subscription purposes.

Both Rotary Down Under and RI require separate notification of club data information.
