EDITORING PLAN 2010/11

Rotaract District 3220, Sri Lanka

The rotaract club consists of the following four categories of services ,that is club
services, community services, professional and international services so based on
these for groups planning to have articles to raise awareness to public.

These are some of the topics which I am planning to include as articles in the
bulletin which I have started working on

• Rotaract is opportunity –Through this what I will emphasis on is that rotaract


is opportunity for networking. Personal growth and when member becomes
a committee chairman, a club secretary, or president, and rising to
expectations of the job, gains self-confidence, poise, and increased
leadership ability. And also opportunity for better citizenship. Through
weekly programs, Rotractors enlarge their understanding of government,
business, and society. Through participation in community projects, they gain
appreciation for local needs, and their ability to meet some of those needs.

• Rotaract needs YOU(th) – Through this what I thought was to grab the
interest of school levers and youngsters who tend to have fun while doing the
service

• I am Rotactor “I am SOMEONE” highlights you the importance of being a


rotactor

• Rotract to the rescue –The good community projects, the club services and
the benefits that people get through that

Hopes to have these kind of content, that is

• Introducing of the new DRR and the editorial committee (about the editorial
committee I think I have to have some new members coz ……)

• It would be better to have some articles as above regarding rotaract club and
the effective work and benefits that members gain so that main people may
tend to join the club

• Concepts of adopting village and the things done for the people should be
highlighted so that people will get to know more good work that this club do
to people
• The poya projects- thought of putting some articles about it since they are
joint projects by many clubs

• The university club based projects – It depicts that as university students ,it is
very important to do participate in these kinds of projects and being rotarctor
makes you special out of rest of the university students(our committee
members should provide sufficient evident to prove all these ideas which I
have came here in order to ,make them more convinced )

• There are some brand new club as well as very old clubs such as Colombo
charted at 1960s so its better to introduce them and encourage them while
given all of them recognition.(the aim of these articles is to increase the
membership)

• Articles done by rotarctors of various clubs, puzzels, games etc to make it


more interesting

(My ideas

Additionally should develop writing and presentation skills of our members ,have
idea to conduct some competitions and give all of them some recognition and
the members will be more interested in being rotractor ,then help some children
who cant read and write properly,some seminas for all our editors which helps
them to do the rotaract work and helps them in their personal growth, through
all of these my aim is to add value being a rotaractor)

These points should also be considered,

• It is mandatory to increase the public's awareness of Rotaract movements.

• inform the public, through the media or other forms, of the community
service projects the club undertakes/up coming events and project of each
club

• promote the ideals of Rotaract

• liaise with the media in promoting the club and its projects

• prepares press releases and appears on television and radio talk shows
promoting the club's activities

• produces promotional material used by the club


• Prepare the quarterly bulletins and send them before the deadlines

To work on these objectives hopes to work hand in hand with the PR


team

The Bulletin helps facilitate healthy communication within the clubs,And


each club should also receive the other club's bulletin or newsletter featuring the
outstanding Rotaract club projects or upcoming events of the club/groups projects
or activities. It is important for the recognition of Rotaract to prepare a bulletin
about the activities undertaken and to distribute it and raise awareness on the
activites that the rotract club perform

Importance of the bulletin


• Recognition for the Best Bulletin will be awarded at the Assembly

• The judging of the Best Bulletin will be done by Professional Editors

projects will be cover
