District Rotaract Representative's Citation

for Rotaract Clubs of Rotary International District 3860 for RY 2024-2025

Dear Irresistibly Magical Leaders,

With great pleasure, I am sharing to you the District Goals and Thrust for Rotary Year 2024- 2025. All
Rotaract Clubs of Rotary International District 3960 will be working on these starting July 1, 2024 until
April 30, 2025. This will give ample time for the District Awards Committee to review project reports for
awards and recognitions.

In this thrust, there are mandatory goals for each club to achieve which are primarily based on the four
(4) Rotary International Strategic Priorities. These must be accomplished in order to qualify for the
District Awards. While there is this thrust, each club is highly encouraged to always give prime use of
its strength in resources such as members’ classifications and connection and linkages when planning
and implementing its projects.

1. 100% payment of the Rotary International Membership Dues (8$/member for Community
Based and 5$/member for University-Based club).

DEFINITION OF TERMS:
1. Club-initiated or collaborative project. A club-initiated project is one that is planned and

clubs to pool resources and expertise to make a greater impact in their communities.

supports the Rotary Foundation’s mission.
3. DRR’s Visit is an official club visit of District Rotaract Representative Mark Glen Baldo and his
select District Officers in order to communicate directly to the Rotaractors within the district. It
enables the DRR to listen to the members of the club, and to gain a better understanding of
the workings of that club. The DRR serves as a catalyst to strengthen and inform the club of the
programs of Rotary and Rotaract, and to share the values, the vision, and the purpose of these
programs.

relationship to promote international understanding and goodwill and carry out service projects

6. Mandatory Goals are sets of objectives that the Rotaract Clubs of Rotary International District
3860 are required to achieve in order to fulfill the purpose of the organization and meet the
standards set by Rotary International. They may include targets like increasing membership,
organizing a certain number of service projects per year, or promoting leadership development
among members.
7. Secondary Goal are sets of objectives which are equally important as the Mandatory goals and
bear the same significance. However, clubs may only prioritize achieving them when the
mandatory goals are achieved and it will not be bearing on whether a club will qualify for
Outstanding Club Recognition during DISCON.
8. Membership Net Gain or Membership Increase is computed using the number of members on
July 1, 2024 and its net gain increase by June 30, 2025.
 9. Membership Retention is computed based on the total number of members on July 1, 2025

Membership Number would re-join the Club.
