In this phase we have developed several key features that will further help you plan throughout the Rotary year. While the 2012-13 year is coming to a close, club and district leaders can update goals in Rotary Club Central for one year after your term ends. The new features in Rotary Club Central include:   ·         A Global View that shows a summary of the goals and achievements of clubs worldwide. ·         Age & Gender Trends are now available in the Your Club tab. These trends can help your club work on specific membership initiatives. ·         Import service projects from Rotary Showcase and Rotary Grants to help your club plan for the year. This feature will save you time and prevent duplicate records. ·         New reports will help you utilize the information stored in Rotary Club Central. ·         Performance improvements have been made to speed up the site’s loading time.   Visit the Learning Center in the coming months to download reference guides to help you use this new resource.   I also encourage you to watch the Rotary Club Central: What’s in it for you webinar which took place on 12 June. We were joined by Rotarian panelists who shared their experiences with Rotary Club Central and talked about why it is important for clubs to track their goals and progress. At this time, the webinar is only available in English. We will schedule additional webinars based on interest. If you would like to see this webinar in your language, please let us know.   I’m also happy to announce that new enhancements have been added to Rotary Showcase. These improvements will make it easier for your club to share its successful projects with the Rotary world.      Please contact your CDS representative or the Contact Center with any questions about these online resources.   Best regards,   John Hewko CC: 2012-13 and 2013-14 RI Board of Directors, Trustees, Rotary Coordinators, Rotary Public Image Coordinators, and Rotary Regional Foundation Coordinators, Strategic Planning Committee, End Polio Now Zone Coordinators, Endowment/ Major Gift Advisers
