PUBLIC AWARENESS

The primary responsibilities of the Public Awareness Committee fall under the heading of communication between members and between the club and its community at large. The following areas comprise the communication umbrella.

  • Sparks - club newsletter
  • Photography
  • PR
  • Remembrance
  • Webpage - www.altadenarotary.com

    In the following paragraphs, each of these areas is described in some detail.

    Sparks - Sparks is our award-winning club newsletter and is prepared 48 of the 52 weeks per year. Its primary focus is as a forum for expressing ideas and keeping the club informed about what is happening in each of the several committees. Each issue contains:
    • A column by one of the committee/subcommittee chairs (or a person working within the committee) in rotation. The column describes a particular program or area of responsibility within that committee.
    • A lead article by the president -- or his/her designee, expounding and expanding on the subject of the writer's choice.
    • Information on the current- and past-week's programs as well as a short synopsis of upcoming programs for the next four to six weeks.
    • Regular/irregularly published columns by members (and sometimes a member's spouse or significant other) in which they discuss their hobbies and their passions.
    • Contributory articles by members about club functions, personal points of view and brags.
    • A listing of member's birthdays and anniversaries. (We also include the birthdays of our members' spouses or significant others and the surviving spouse or significant other.
    • A listing of greeters for the current and next two weeks.

    • Christmas parties
    • Community projects
