• Bring additional fundraising opportunities• Built as a simple “Craigslist” style exchange,
Rotarians can post items or services for sale and also post items that are being sought or wanted, plus 1 identity profile page
Why is it Called RotariansConnectD5300.com?
RotariansConnectD5300.com started as a web site a few years ago called RotariansConnect.com. Rotary.org contacted this site June 2, 2013, and explained because of trademark rules, we had to add D5300 to the name of the web site to be within compliance of their rules.
“The addition of D5300 will meet the RI Board of Directors policies regarding the use of the Rotary marks. On behalf of RI, our appreciation goes to you and the leadership of D5300 for your cooperation and making these changes. Best Rotary Regards, Jim Damato, Supervisor Club and District Support, The Americas Rotary International Evanston, Illinois" June 18, 2013
