Brenda Scramlin

Bay City Club's Past-President Brenda Scramlin was recently named the Rotary Global Rewards District Chairperson. Brenda spoke to the club about a new program from Rotary International.

With the catch phrase "Spend Less. Give More.", Rotary Rewards was designed to leverage the many "points" and "rewards" that Rotary members receive on credit cards and other modern, electronic business and purchasing transactions. It includes an extensive collection of discounts and special offers that cover the types of goods and services that members care about most.

Brenda outlined the types of rewards that qualify for this program then talked about the methods of signing up and using the program. The key is the "My Rotary" pages of the Rotary International web site. Your first job, if you have not already done that, is to sign up on the RI web site.

Signing up required a few minutes and it also requires your RI member number. That number is printed on your recent dues bill. It's also available on the club website in the member's section. Look for it when you log in. If you have any difficulty, contact Brenda or club Secretary, Steve Kent.

Among the new tools and methods are extensive, integrated cell phone apps. Most of these are delivered as feature on the "Club Finder" cell phone application. They include maps, claim buttons, faqs, and other tools.

"Rotary Rewards" is an exciting new offer, but it's just part of the story. If you have not signed up for My Rotary on the RI Web site, you must do that. My Rotary is your path to many services and much of the information you need to fully participate in Rotary outside of the local club level.
