Rotary License Plates

At the PR event on March 6, Carol Toomey, District Public Relations Chair and District Governor Elect, announced that Rotary license plates may now be ordered for Massachusetts cars.

Information on ordering can be found at the District 7910 web site http://www.rotary7910.org/. Plates must be ordered through Rotary and, at present, are not available directly from the RMV.

According to Carol, a major portion of the proceeds from the sale of plates will go towards the drive to eradicate polio.

Spreading the Word About Blogging

At the District 7910 Public Relations Event on Friday, March 6, Jill Lennon was one of the "speed-speakers" - the topic was Blogging. It was an effective way to reach many people; the speaker remained at a table but every 7-8 minutes, the other table attendees switched. Speakers had 5 minutes to pitch their topic! Let's hope this helps get the blogging interest spread throughout the district! Dan LeBlanc and I are happy to be guest speakers at any club and to present blogging, as well as helping clubs get started.
