  4. Community and Vocational Service • In line with Rotary international there has been a split of the C&V team in RIBI to separate teams. • This was to boost Vocational Service as one of the main “Avenues of Service” • Each District and Club has the choice whether to follow suit or remain with a combined team. • This District has decided to remain combined at present, but will split next year

  10. Rotary Spring Clean • RIBI will be providing support to Clubs for this campaign in Spring 2013. • Work with local organisations to arrange litter pick-ups or graffiti removal. • Newsletters from RIBI on RinL website

  11. Vocational Service • Vocational Service encourages Rotarians to serve others through their professions and to practice high ethical standards. • Rotarians share skills and expertise through their vocations and inspire others in the process. • We will cover options for this later on.

  12. The Four-Way Test • This was developed as an ethical guide to follow in business matters. • It was expanded in 1989 to become the Declaration of Rotarians in Businesses and Professions. • This promoted using vocation as an opportunity to serve the community and to provide opportunities for young people.

  13. Ethical Business Practices These have been recently summarised in Forbes Magazine: • Use honest language • Insist on proper behaviour • Refuse to allow grey areas. Summary in RI publication: “Introduction to Vocational Service.”

  14. Vocational Service and Classification • From the beginning of the Rotary movement the Classification of each Rotarian has been important. • Rotarians each have a “Classification” ie Profession or vocation, which means clubs have a cross section of the community. • Through their jobs and business and professional skills Rotarians have opportunity to serve the community.

  15. Classification and Skills • Does your club have each Rotarian listed with his or her Classification? If not can I suggest this is raised with the President. • Does your club have a skills/affiliations inventory of its members? • This is also useful as it may find school governors, and links with other organisations who complement Rotary.

  16. Vocational Service - Suggestions • October is Vocational Service Month – Get New Vocational Project started or have a Vocational focused meeting. • Say “The 4 Way Test” at each Meeting. • Volunteer for Secondary School Career day or conduct Mock Interviews • Conduct “Job Talks” at your club and invite Ambassadorial Scholars to talk about their jobs and training.

  17. Vocational Projects Using members Job Classification to assist in the community ie: • Doctors and Nurses – helping at blood pressure testing • Engineers & Scientists – encourage schools to take part in Rotary - Excitement of Science • All professions – providing work experience for school children • Catering – encourage Young Chef etc

  18. Feedback from Clubs • What Community and Vocational Service projects does your Club get involved with?
