DG Family Project
I’m proud to share a very special initiative close to my heart: instead of a Partners project, we will have a family project for our children and grandchildren targeted to assist and help our local primary schools.
This initiative is not designed to raise money for one worthy charity. Instead, I am inviting all clubs across our District to partner with their local Primary Schools to make, provide, and supply essential resources.
The basis of the plan includes your choice of Primary school for new equipment, safe and engaging play areas, and even organizing fun days or festivals that create joyful memories for the students. All moneys you raise will go directly to the school of your choice. The return on investment for us will be advertising in the schools such as large sign boards you see from Real Estate companies and the chance to connect with both parents and teachers.
The ultimate return will be the school fraternity wanting to become more involved in our great organization. It’s a project that brings together everything Rotary stands for: service, visibility, impact, and community.
How Can Your Club Get Involved?
Getting started is simple—and the impact can be extraordinary. Here’s how your club can make a meaningful difference through the District Family Project:
- Connect with a Local Primary School
Choose a school in your community and start a conversation about what support would be most valuable to their students. - Choose a Project That Brings Joy and Value
Projects can be big or small—whatever suits your club's capacity and the school's needs. Ideas include:- Building a new playground with community-donated funds
- Supplying updated learning tools or classroom equipment
- Hosting a fun day or sausage sizzle with your club’s help
- Creating a memorable event that puts smiles on students’ faces
- Promote Rotary’s Presence
As part of your project, kindly ask the school to display Rotary signage prominently helping raise awareness and celebrate our shared impact. - Engage Your Sponsors
If additional funding is needed, consider inviting one of your club’s trusted sponsors to contribute. Many local businesses will welcome the opportunity to support children and education. - Build Strong Relationships
Once the project is complete, invite the school principal and key staff to one of your club meetings as a gesture of appreciation and goodwill. - Celebrate Your Impact
Share your story with the broader community! Promote the project through local newspapers, radio, or social media. - Keep Us in the Loop
Let the District team know about your project so we can help amplify it on the District website and communication channels.
