This might be of special interest to those of you that are actively
involved in Foundation activities. One of our ROTIans, Dan Mooers,
is assisting in the program being sponsored by ICUFR. It should be
interesting, especially with changes in the grant programs being made.
In celebration of `Rotary Foundation Month', the International
Computer Users Fellowship of Rotarians (ICUFR) is sponsoring an
on-line discussion with Rotary Foundation Trustee Carolyn Jones.
Trustee Jones, the first female Trustee in the 90 year history of The
Rotary Foundation, will answer your questions about the Foundation
on-line during a 51 hour period beginning at 5:00 P.M., CST, on
Sunday, November 25th and ending at 8:00 P.M. CST on Tuesday, November
27, 2007. This free-wheeling, informative discussion with Trustee
Jones will take place on the ICUFR's `COMMUNITY FORUM' at
http://www2.icufr.org. (Please note the "www2" in the address.)
The on-line discussion will start with a short posting by the Chairman
of the ICUFR, introducing Trustee Jones and telling you some of her
background and Rotary interests. For the next 51 hours, all registered
users of the Community Forum may post questions to Trustee Jones and
she will periodically respond to the questions during the allotted
time. For Rotarians not already registered at the ICUFR's Community
Forums, you must register in order to post in the Forum (you may enter
as a `guest' and read the discussion in the Community Forum but will
not be able to `post' without registering). You can register, at any
time, by clicking on `Register' at the top section of the opening page
of the Community Forums (http://www2.icufr.org) . A `Terms' page will
next appear and, once you accept the terms, you will automatically go
to the `Registration' page. Please complete all `required'
information. When you register, please make sure you make a personal,
private record of the `User Name' and `Password' you decide to use
when registering in the Community Forums.
Additionally information for a `Profile' is optional. However, please
use your full name as your ID, and additionally, in the 'Profile',
please put in your Club Name and District number. This is necessary to
be sure we do not get non-Rotarians registered. After you register,
you may get an email asking you to confirm your registration. Just
follow the instructions in the email, if one is received. Registering
for the Community Forums carries no obligation, and you will not be
placed on an email list as a result of registering, unless you post to
the Community Forum and indicate that you wish to receive email
notices to responses to your post.
We suggest you go to the ICUFR's Community Forums now, register and
then poke around for a while to get a `feel' for the Community Forums.
Post a message or two in any of the section and topics, make some
friends, and be ready for the discussion with Trustee Carolyn Jones.
On Sunday, November 25th, on or after 5:00 P.M. CST, you can log into
the ICUFR's Community Forums, and be ready to go. Scroll down to `HOT
TOPICS', click on `The Rotary Foundation' and then click on
`Discussion with Trustee Carolyn Jones. Then fire away with your
questions about The Rotary Foundation, the role of Carolyn Jones as
the first female Trustee, or any related question you may have.
We sincerely will appreciate you passing this message along to other
Rotarians. Please post it on your district or club web site, publish
it in your district and club newsletter, and forward it to all
Rotarians in your email address book. In the meantime, if you have any
questions, you can ask them in the ICUFR's COMMUNITY FORUMS in the
`Computer Help and Ideas' section under the topic of `Help Using this
Forum', or, alternatively, write to Dan Mooers at dwm@mooers-law.com
and he'll help with your questions.
See you on-line on Sunday, November 25th. COME CELEBRATE ROTARY
FOUNDATION MONTH !
