RB Sunrise Rotary gets third award for best press efforts

For the third year in a row, our club has been awarded for the best press efforts in district 5340. I take personal pride in this, since I'm the club's publicity chair. This press release was just sent out to all north county (San Diego) media outlets. Imagine getting publicity for getting publicity - a new definition of chutzpah!

Nevertheless, this is what I do. Apparently, someone thinks I'm pretty good at it.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

RB Sunrise Rotary Recognized For Third Time

The Rancho Bernardo Sunrise Rotary Club has been awarded one of Rotary District 5340’s highest honors for the third year in a row.

At this year’s annual District Council meeting, club president Steve Sayler was on-hand for announcement of the club’s naming as recipient of “Outstanding Public Relations” award for the third time.

“There are 61 Rotary clubs in the district, so our receiving one of these awards would be impressive enough.” noted Sayler. “Receiving it twice was phenomenal, and getting it yet again is nothing short of overwhelming!”

Past president Carl Kruse credited “a non-stop commitment to give back to the community on every level, and a willingness to tell that story at every opportunity” for the club’s success and growth. The RB Sunrise Rotary club has grown by approximately 30% over the past two years.

Rotary’s presence is seen regularly in all community publications serving Rancho Bernardo and North County. Their award-winning website can be seen at www.rbsunrise.org.

The public is also invited to review the blog of Paul Gorman, one of the club’s newest members, as he traces his adventure in joining and participating in Rotary. It can be found at www.redbadgerotarian.blogspot.com. Another blog, maintained by club publicity chair Rob Weinberg, is tracing a year of a more established Rotarian. That one – entitled THE ADVENTURES OF ROB THE ROTARIAN can be found at rbsunrise.blogspot.com.

“Potential new members are invited to join us for breakfast any Tuesday morning at the RB Country Club” says membership chair Debbie Abel. “We’ll be happy to buy them breakfast, and hope they’ll get to know us better.” The club meets at 7am, with meetings over by 8:30.
