Henley- on-todd - Rotary Down Under

Magazine month
look after itself. If in sending the image by
email, your server asks if you want to reduce
the file to make it easier to email, say NO!
• Include a caption for the photo in the email
and name all people featured
• Make sure you include a contact for further
information if required
• In Australia, send it to:
editorial@rotarydownunder.com.au
• In New Zealand and Pacific Islands, send to:
berylrobinson@rotarydownunder.co.nz
Some tips:
• Get compelling action photos – show the
sweat not the cheque presentation
• Do not be afraid to pose photos for best effect
• The first sentence should establish the topic
and set the tone – tell the most important
facts – who, what, where, when, why and how
• Include lots of quotes
• Everyone holds fundraisers and some
programs are quite run-of-the-mill so take care
to point out what makes the project unusual,
unique or innovative. Just because it is the first
time your clubs has done something good,
doesn’t mean it is unique among Australia’s
1143 clubs or New Zealand’s 266 clubs
• Consider how you would view the article as a
reader. Does it inspire you?
Rotary Down Under has a practical application
in all aspects of Rotary and can be easily used to
support club and District objectives, membership,
public image, member education and more.
It is a superb reference resource that on a dayto-day
basis will provide ideas and inspiration for
projects and events. Give copies to all who have
contact with your club as many know little about
Rotary – then ask them to join if you think they
would make good members.
Go to www.rotarydownunder.org or www.
rdu.rotarysouthpacific.org for lots more useful
information or phone and ask how we can help.
To read the magazine on-line go to www.
rotarydownunder.org and include that link in all
your promotional material.
Rotary Down Under Group Representatives
and District Chairs are available to talk to you
or your club at any time – and especially during
Magazine Month.
