How to use the DVDs...

We recommend that Districts provide at least two copies of the ROTARY NOW DVD to each club and maintain an inventory of extra copies that could be sold or given to clubs that need more copies.

  • Screen the video at a District-wide event like District Assembly, District Conference, District Council meetings, or Presidents-elect Training Seminars.

  • Individual clubs should screen the video at a club meeting - and encourage members to take DVDs and share it with younger prospects.

  • Better and more effective than any brochure - this is the ultimate way to spread the message of Rotary!
