THE STRUCTURE OF ROTARY The Structure of Rotary International, Rotary Districts & Rotary
Clubs (for Information & Communication):
ROTARY INTERNATIONAL (RI)Rotary International is the association of Rotary Clubs worldwide. The administration of Rotary International is managed by Officers, Directors and Committees from Rotary Clubs throughout the world. Annually, Rotary International holds a Convention in different countries to stimulate, inspire and inform all Rotarians at an international level and to motivate them to develop Rotary at the Club and District levels.
ROTARY DISTRICTSRotary International groups Clubs into Districts to support the administration of Clubs and to make local administration easier. There are 22 Districts in Australia and 530 Districts throughout the world, with each District being led by a Governor assisted by appointed officers. The District Governor (DG) is an officer of Rotary International and is directly responsible to Rotary International, and also to the Clubs, for the effective administration of the District. Other than the office of District Governor, all District appointments are made by the District Governor for the Governor’s term of office.
ROTARY CLUBSThere are over 1.2 million Rotarians working in some 33,300 Rotary Clubs in 208 countries worldwide. There are 33,800 Rotarians in 1153 Clubs in Australia and about 1324 Rotarians in 48 Clubs in District 9500.
In summary, Rotarians belong to Rotary Clubs and Rotary Clubs belong to Rotary International which groups Clubs into Districts.

1. ROTARY INTERNATIONAL
THE FOUNDER OF ROTARY - Paul P. Harris 1868 - 1947During the first Rotary Club meeting on 23 February 1905 in Chicago, Paul Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Hiram Shorey, and Silvester Schiele met to talk about their personal experiences. Harris then unfolded his general plan for their Club meetings.
This was the simple beginning of the world’s first service Club, the Rotary Club of Chicago. It was created because of Harris’ wish to capture in a professional Club the same friendly spirit he had felt in the small towns of his youth. The title “Rotary” developed from the founding members rotating the meeting amongst members’ offices.
By 1910, sixteen Rotary Clubs had linked up as an organisation called the National Association of Rotary Clubs. As more Clubs were organised in the United States, the movement became international, first to Canada, then to England, Ireland and Scotland. In 1922 the name of the organisation became Rotary International.
Rotarians continue to take pride in their history. In honor of that first Club, Rotarians have preserved its original meeting place, Room 711 in Chicago’s Unity Building, by re-creating the office as it existed in 1905. For several years, the Paul Harris 711 Club maintained the room as a shrine for visiting Rotarians. In 1989, when the building was scheduled to be demolished, the Club carefully dismantled the office and salvaged the interior, including doors and radiators. In 1993, the RI Board of Directors set aside a permanent home for the restored Room 711 at RI World Headquarters in the Chicago suburb of Evanston.

WHAT IS ROTARY?
Rotary is an organisation for business and professional men and women who are prepared to give of their time and expertise to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Its scope extends from the local community to some of the most impoverished people on earth. At the same time we believe in having some fun, so that service and fellowship are the two pillars upon which Rotary stands.ROTARY is non-sectarian and non-political and is growing in numbers. Each Club shares the common principals of Rotary but each is autonomous and free to prepare its own programs and control its destiny.ROTARY started in 1905 when a small group of businessmen in Chicago began meeting to learn from one another and to enhance their business relationships. While making business contacts is still a useful facet of Rotary, the focus quickly moved to include doing good deeds in the community and helping those less fortunate.ROTARIANS throughout the world encourage high ethical standards in their vocation, conduct humanitarian projects and work towards world peace and understanding.
THE FOUR WAY TEST
Since its introduction by Herbert Taylor in 1932, Rotarians have been using the 4-Way Test as a practical yardstick in their business, community, and personal affairs. The 4-Way Test, you will note, does not provide answers. It asks questions which the user must answer.Thousands of Rotarians have used it and shared it with others. Millions of copies have been distributed to students and business associates. The Test has been carved into granite monuments, displayed on billboards, written into labour contracts, printed on wrapping paper and has been the theme of countless addresses.
“Of the things we think, say or doIs it the TRUTH?Is it FAIR to all concerned?Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?”

THE OBJECT OF ROTARYThe object of Rotary is to encourage and foster the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, to encourage and foster:First: The development of acquaintance as an opportunity for service.Second: High ethical standards in business and professions, the recognition
of the worthiness of all useful occupations, and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society.
Third: The application of the ideal of service in each Rotarian’s personal, business and community life.
Fourth: The advancement of international understanding, goodwill and peace through a world fellowship of business and professional persons united in the ideal of service.
Declaration of Rotarians in Businesses and Professions:As a Rotarian engaged in a business or profession, I am expected to: Consider my vocation to be another opportunity to serve; Be faithful to the letter and to the spirit of the ethical codes of my vocation,
to the laws of my country, and to the moral standards of my community; Do all in my power to dignify my vocation and to promote the highest
ethical standards in my chosen vocation; Be fair to my employer, employees, associates, competitors, customers,
the public and all those with whom I have a business or professional relationship;
Recognise the honor and respect due to all occupations which are useful to society;
Offer my vocational talents: to provide opportunities for young people, to work for the relief of the special needs of others, and to improve the quality of life in my community;
Adhere to honesty in my advertising and in all representations to the public concerning my business or profession;
Neither seek from nor grant to a fellow Rotarian a privilege or advantage not normally accorded others in a business or professional relationship.
2012-2013 ROTARY THEME
"In Rotary, our business is not profit. Our business is peace. Our reward is not financial but the happiness and satisfaction of seeing a better, more peaceful world, one that we have achieved through our own efforts.”

USE OF THE ROTARY NAME AND EMBLEM
The “Rotary” name and gearwheel emblem, including the emblems and logos of Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation programs and projects are known collectively as the Rotary Marks. These Rotary Marks are covered by a trademark owned by Rotary International which is protected throughout the world.
Clubs, Districts and Rotary entities are welcome to use the Rotary emblem, in association with your Club or District projects. To maintain the value and integrity of the Rotary Marks, the RI Board of Directors has created guidelines to govern the use of the Rotary Marks on all merchandise, promotional materials and publications.ROTARY NAME Use of the "Rotary" or “Foundation” name must include the name of a
Rotary Club, a Rotary District or other Rotary Entity except where it refers to an authorised program under the exclusive control of RI.
No alterations, obstructions or modifications of "Rotary" are permitted. No abbreviations, prefixes or suffixes of "Rotary," such as "Rota," are permitted.
Clubs and District Domain names should comply with the naming guidelines outlined in the Manual of Procedure. Rotary Entities are encouraged, before registering domain names, to check with their Club and District Administration representative at the South Pacific and Philippines Office to ensure their proposed domain name complies with Board policy.
The naming of any project or program that does not conform to the guidelines must receive specific RI Board approval.
ROTARY EMBLEM The Rotary Emblem, like the Rotary name, represents Rotary International. Whenever the Rotary Emblem is used for a project, program or activity not
under the exclusive control of Rotary International or The Rotary Foundation, the name of the participating Club(s), District(s) or other Rotary Entity should also be used in addition to the Emblem, should appear directly adjacent to the Emblem, and be of a size of equal prominence to the Emblem.
Any reproduction of the Rotary Emblem must meet Rotary International's proper Emblem specifications. No alterations, modifications or obstructions of the Rotary Emblem are permitted. The Emblem must be faithfully reproduced and always appear in its entirety.
The RI Bylaws discourage any joint use of the RI Emblem with the emblem or logo of another organisation for any commercial purpose.

RI AWARDS AND RECOGNITION PROGRAMS
Rotary International offers awards to recognise the efforts and contributions of Rotarians, Rotary Clubs and non-Rotarians. Eligible nominators may submit nominations according to each award’s criteria and guidelines.
ROTARIANSAvenues of Service Citation This citation program provides a way for Rotary clubs to personally recognise one club member for his or her outstanding efforts in the five Avenues of Service. A club member must have demonstrated support of the Object of Rotary through active participation in each of the five Avenues of Service: Club, Vocational, Community, International, and New Generations. A nominee must be an active Rotarian and can only receive the award once.
Club Builder Award This award recognises Rotarians who have made a significant impact in supporting and strengthening their Rotary clubs. District governors may nominate one candidate from their district each year.
Each Rotarian: Reach One, Keep One Award This award allows Rotary club presidents to nominate and recognise individuals for sponsoring new members while focusing on retention. There are several award categories:
Gold pin and certificate: for Rotarians bringing 25 members into any Rotary club, with 20 still active after six years
Silver pin and certificate: for Rotarians bringing 10 members into any Rotary club, with 8 still active after four years
Bronze pin and certificate: for Rotarians bringing five members into any Rotary club, with four still active after two years
Certificates and pins may be purchased through Rotary International.
RI Service Above Self AwardAs Rotary’s highest honour for individual Rotarians, this award recognises up to 150 Rotarians annually who have demonstrated exemplary humanitarian service, with an emphasis on personal volunteer efforts and active involvement in helping others through Rotary. Current district governors, directors, and past directors may nominate up to three candidates by 1 September each year. RI Vocational Service Leadership Award This award recognises Rotarians who have made a significant impact on advancing vocational service. District governors may nominate one candidate from their district each year.
The Rotary Foundation Citation for Meritorious Service This award recognises Rotarians who have demonstrated active service to The Rotary Foundation for more than one year.
15
The Rotary Foundation Distinguished Service AwardFour complete Rotary years after receiving the Citation for Meritorious Service, a Rotarian becomes eligible for the Distinguished Service Award. Because this is the Foundation’s highest service recognition, a recipient’s exemplary service to the Foundation must extend beyond the district level and occur over an extended period of time.
The Rotary Foundation District Service AwardBecause so many Rotarians serve humanity through Foundation programs, The Rotary Foundation created the District Service Award to recognise their efforts. Each recipient is given a certificate, awarded at the district level. District governors may obtain up to 20 blank certificates at no cost to their district.
Service Award for a Polio-Free WorldThis award was established by the Trustees of the Rotary Foundation in order to recognise outstanding contributions to the effort by Rotarians and thereby to encourage final efforts. In geographic areas coinciding with WHO regions, up to ten regional service awards per region are given annually. These awards recognise outstanding service in polio eradication. International Awards, for broad service to the cause of polio eradication, are also made annually, not to exceed ten individuals.
ROTARY CLUBSPresidential Citation The Presidential Citation will recognise achievements related to membership development and contributing to The Rotary Foundation. Each qualifying club will receive an award certificate.
Significant Achievement Award Presidential recognition of a club activity which addresses a significant problem or need in the community. A district selects one project and submits nomination to RI. A president-appointed selection committee evaluates nominations.
Recognition of Smaller Club Membership Growth This district-level award offers an incentive to clubs that fall below the charter requirement of 20 members by recognising the challenges and achievements of small clubs.
RI Membership Development and Extension Award -- MDEA This district-level certificate program recognises membership growth in existing clubs, retention of current club members, and the organisation of new clubs. Districts that meet their membership goals are also recognised.
Cont…
16
RI Recognition of Membership Development Initiatives -- MDI This district-level certificate recognises clubs for the development and implementation of a creative plan or strategy to support one of the three primary foundations of membership growth and development: retention, recruitment of qualified new members, or the organisation of new Rotary clubs.
NON-ROTARIANSFamily and Community Service Award This award is a certificate that Rotary clubs may confer on individuals or organisations for outstanding service to families and communities, or in recognition of the positive contributions to individual Rotary clubs made by spouses or family members of Rotarians. It is a good way for clubs to celebrate Family Month in December, recognise members of the family of Rotary, and promote Rotary in the community.
The Rotary Foundation Global Alumni Service to Humanity AwardThis award honours outstanding Rotary Foundation alumni who have contributed to greater understanding and peace through service to humanity, and whose significant achievements have enriched their profession or vocation.
The Rotary Foundation Alumni Associations of the Year Award The Rotary Foundation Alumni Association of the Year Award recognises an alumni association that has increased awareness of the contributions and impact alumni have made on Foundation programs. The winning association receives a plaque or banner, recognition in Rotary media, and the opportunity to present its work at the Rotary Alumni Celebration at the RI Convention.

She then moved to Yorke Peninsula and lived on a farm north of Ardrossan for many years where her 3rd son was born.Barbara became very involved with sport, in particular Calisthenics, and this led to the opportunity to move back to Adelaide when Kirsti was selected as a member of the Junior State team in 1982. Barbara joined the Apple & Pear Growers Association of SA Inc in 1988 and worked with the Association for almost 20 years.Barbara became involved in Rotary as a ‘guest’ for many years, and was inducted into the Rotary Club of Hindmarsh in October 2004. She held the office of President in 2006-07 and 2008-09, as well as Treasurer in 2007-08. She has also been a member of the District GSE committee and Chair in 2009-10, and Dist Secretary in 2010-2011.In 2009, the RC of Hindmarsh handed back their Charter and along with 4 other members Barbara became a member of the RC of Adelaide Parks.Her other interests include reading, dressmaking and 4 beautiful grandchildren.

2. ROTARY DISTRICT 9500BRIEF HISTORY
22
Rotary started in South Australia with the formation of the Rotary Club of Adelaide on the 24th August 1923 and the official recognition by Charter on the 4 th February 1924. At this time there were only four other Clubs in Australia, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Newcastle.The then International Association of Rotary Clubs, soon to become Rotary International, appointed two Extension Commissioners, Professor Osborne of the Rotary Club of Melbourne, to foster the growth of Rotary in the Southern States of Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and Western Australia and Sir Henry Braddon of the Rotary Club of Sydney for New South Wales and Queensland.Although there were “unofficial” Conferences held for the Clubs in 1926 and 1927 there was no District in Australia until the 15 th September 1927 when District 65 was formed for the whole of Australia, which then had 17 Clubs. The first District Governor was Fred Birks (Drugs Retailing) of the Rotary Club of Sydney and he served two years.Over the years, new Districts have been formed from the original District 65, as the number of Clubs increased. As far as our District 9500 is concerned, we have been a part of Districts 64, 33, 250 and 950 in its evolution. Major changes to the District have occurred in 1946, 1951, 1956 and 1977. The 1950s saw our District grow from 31 Clubs in July 1954 to 51 Clubs in May 1960. During this period of rapid expansion it is interesting to note that the District Attendance records reveal monthly average attendances around the 83-84% mark. Early South Australian Clubs, apart from Adelaide, were Mount Gambier 1928, Unley 1935, Port Adelaide 1946, Victor Harbor 1947 and Port Lincoln 1949.On the 1st July 1977 the large District 250 was divided into Districts 950 and 952, with District 950 consisting of the major western part of South Australia including Adelaide and Alice Springs/Yulara plus Kangaroo Island, whilst District 952 consisted of the remaining eastern part of South Australia, and south of Adelaide plus the Riverland, Riverina and Broken Hill. In 2008, our eastern boundary of District 9500 with District 9520 was consolidated to longitude 139o 21’E down to the Walker Flat to Mt Pleasant Road, then following the road & River Torrens to just east then south of Adelaide. The late Jack Turner from the Rotary Club of Adelaide West became the first District Governor of District 950, when there were 32 Clubs and 1505 members. His District Conference was held at Kadina. A re-numbering brought into existence the present District 9500 on the 1st July 1991, when there were 51 Clubs and approximately 1870 members. At March 2012 there were 48 clubs and 1324 members.In recent times two Rotary Clubs, Makin EDGE Tea Tree Gully and Roxby District have been Chartered, as well as the Rotaract Club for Global Peace at the Thebarton Senior College . The Interact Club at the Adelaide High School, which was chartered in the mid 1960s, through the RC of Adelaide, is still an active and busy Club.

2. ROTARY DISTRICT 9500GEOGRAPHY
District 9500 embraces most of South Australia and half of the Northern Territory. It covers 1,700,000 square kilometres and stretches from the Southern Ocean, Kangaroo Island and Adelaide in the south to beyond Alice Springs in the north, extending to the Western Australia/South Australia border in the west. South Australia’s population is 1.6 million, of which 1 million live in the area covered by District 9500. Currently there are about 1324 Rotarians in 48 Clubs. Most of the population live in a narrow coastal belt including near the Capital city, Adelaide (population 1,200,000). The other part of South Australia is largely covered by our neighbouring District, District 9520. The economy of South Australia is centred on industry, commerce, sheep, wheat, cattle, wine, fruit, fishing and tourism. The southern half of the Northern Territory relies on tourism and cattle.The District is predominantly semi-arid or arid with spectacular scenery – Ayers Rock (Uluru), wild flowers in profusion after rains, an abundance of native animals and birds, and extensive saltbush grazing lands. The population is sparse and tourism is important to the District’s economy.District 9500 is the home of the longest straight line of railway in the world (478 km) and contains the largest lead smelter in the world. The opal fields of Coober Pedy produce some of the world’s best opals. The great white shark roams South Australia’s waters and the tuna and lobster industries are an important export commodity.

2. ROTARY DISTRICT 9500Peace Through Service in DISTRICT 9500
The theme for the 2012-13 Rotary year is Peace Through Service and RI President Sakuji Tanaka says that peace will be ‘our focus and our goal’. He asks all Rotarians to actively work for Peace Through Service, beginning with every individual, family, club, district, region and nation.
However, RI President Sakuji Tanaka also asks all Rotary clubs to focus on the three priorities of the RI Strategic Plan: to support and strengthen cubs, to focus and increase humanitarian service, and to enhance public image and awareness.
This focus on peace, as Rotarians work with the RI Strategic Plan as a guide, should promote strong programs as well as giving cohesion to how we can contribute to a more peaceful world: it may be to bring a greater sense of peace to members of our own communities through mentoring and support; it may be to assist members of our communities in practical ways; or it may be to provide basic necessities to those overseas who do not have them.
Peace is something that we can find and that we can achieve, every day and in so many simple ways.

“In 2012-13, Rotary International will hold three Rotary Global
Peace Forums. Each forum will consist of a 3-day program to engage and inspire Rotarians and
community leaders.
The forum in Berlin will emphasize the value of democracy and freedom. The forums in Honolulu and Hiroshima will focus on
young people, including New Generations program participants (Rotaractors, Interactors, Youth Exchange students, and RYLArians), Ambassadorial
Scholars, Rotary Peace Fellows, alumni, and young Rotarian leaders.
I am encouraging each district to send at least 2 participants
from these demographic groups. Others will have an opportunity to participate in the forums remotely through live,
interactive telecasts.”

Youth Exchange Program (YEP)For Long Term Youth Exchange, a student spends up to a year living with host families and attending school in a different country. They learn a new way of living, a great deal about themselves, and maybe even a new language. They are an ambassador, teaching people about our country, culture, and ideas. It is one way to help bring the world closer - and make some good friends in the process. Applications to a Rotary Club
are due by end March; selections by end April; student’s year abroad starts late January.Short-term exchanges are available to qualified students and vary in length from several days to several weeks. Although participants in short-term exchanges generally don’t attend school in their host country, they may be able to tailor their exchange to match their interests or to include tours of specific places or regions.Website:- www.rotaryyouthexchange.org.au
