I would suggest that everyone gets a Facebook account and links themselves to this page. It will shorten your learning curve... as PP Chris Joscelyne is personally mentoring potential eRotarians and Rotary Districts who are interested in setting up new Rotary eClubs... ROTARY ECLUBS (click link) http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/group.php?gid=1213004878 90858 Here are some examples... WHY DOES ROTARY E-CLUB ONE REQUIRE 12 HOURS SERVICE PER QUARTER AS A MANDATORY CONDITION OF MEMBERSHIP?
Please note that this is a membership requirement of Rotary E-Club One. It is not a rule of Rotary International.
Each member of Rotary E-Club One must commit to a minimum of 12 hours Rotary service per calendar quarter, or lose membership. People who wish to join Rotary E-Club One are informed of our Rotary service rule when they first inquire about membership. At this point some people withdraw their membership application, while others proceed and become part of our deep commitment to Service Above Self. Our secure Clubhouse has a system for recording members' service hours as they are reported each month. Many of our members contribute more than 12 hours Rotary service per quarter. WHAT ONLINE PAYMENT SYSTEM IS BEST FOR A ROTARY E-CLUB TO RECEIVE CLUB MEMBERSHIP DUES AND ACCEPT MEMBER CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ROTARY FOUNDATION?
It is essential that a new Rotary e-club establishes a financial structure that ensures the best utilization of club finances, effective cash flow management, fund-raising procedures, transparent accountability and legal and taxation obligations. An effective system enables the club to forecast the availability of funds for operational activities and projects as funds are required. There are numerous payment systems available for receiving payments. PayPal is a good option for a small start-up Rotary e-club because it is very simple, and credit cards are accepted with no requirement for the credit card user to have a PayPal account. PayPal payment records provide up-to-date revenue data. IS THERE ANY LOW COST COLLABORATION SOFTWARE SUITABLE FOR A NEW ROTARY E-CLUB THAT MAY HAVE A VERY LIMITED OPERATING BUDGET? Yes there is. Glance Networks provides a simple one-button screen sharing tool that lets people instantly show their live PC or Mac screens to anyone online. Glance allows screen sharing for up to 100 participants. Rotary E-Club One used Glance during our early years and we found it was simple, stable and reliable at a relatively low cost. WHAT ONLINE MEETING SOFTWARE IS USED BY ROTARY E-CLUB ONE?
We use GoToMeeting, a Web-hosted service created and marketed by Citrix Online, a division of Citrix Systems. This is remote meeting and desktop sharing software that enables a member of Rotary E-Club One to meet with other members, collaborate with fellow Rotarians in organizing and managing service projects, and attend meetings with others via the Internet in real-time. Some Rotary e-clubs use similar collaboration software from other vendors to facilitate their meetings in real-time. URL NAMING PROTOCOL FOR A ROTARY E-CLUB
The typical method is www.rotaryeclubxxxx.org the xxxx being the Rotary District number, or the geographic location of the Rotary e-club. Here are two examples: http://www.rotaryeclub3310.org http://www.rotaryeclublatinoamerica.org
