Week 45: Tip of the Week

#45: Did you know that Club and District documents are now organized by folders.

ClubRunner 2.0 has re-organized club and district documents to support multiple folders so it is easier to organize and find specific information. With this update, you are able to change the list order of files within the folders from most to least important, relevant, etc. using our new and improved up/down icons. You can also created multiple folders and subfolders to further categorize your documents by year, topic, or committee.

A new feature of ClubRunner V2.0, you are now able to upload commonly used pictures for your club within the image library.

Week 41: Tip of the Week

#41: You can define and list member designations

If you have an access level of level 50 or greater, you can create and assign various designations to your active members. With three levels of designations available – Universal (which are predefined by ClubRunner), District Defined (if District is online with ClubRunner) and Club Defined, now it’s easier to identify all members within a club or district that fall under an exclusive, yet special category, such as Past President or Paul Harris Fellow. Once member designations are assigned, they will show up in the “Rotary” tab of each member’s profile, and can also hold a comments area per assignment. Also, you will be able to run reports (and export in CSV format) and communicate exclusively to these members if need be through the email message center.

ClubRunner Launch Party at RI Convention 2010 was a Blast!

On June 22, hundreds of Rotarians participated in ClubRunner’s launch party to celebrate the entrance of a new era! With the Launch of Website Designer 2.0, many current and prospective users viewed the demonstration of how they could make their club and district sites truly distinct and unique and display all the wonderful activities going on in their community!

Many entered the raffle draw to win an iPod® Touch, but it was awarded to one lucky ClubRunner user – Suzanne Johnson from the Rotary Club of Middle Island. Immediate Past District Governor John Gill of District 6040 helped us to pick the winners and fellowship with all Rotarians who were there! Other items won include free one year subscriptions to ClubRunner and will be announced within a few weeks to all who visited the ClubRunner booth.

During this party we also celebrated our Champions, who were and continue to be instrumental in our success. As a special thank you, there was an exclusive raffle draw for them as well and the winner for her own personalized iPod® Touch was Ginny Sharples of the Rotary Club of Scottsdale North!

Topping off the festivities, everyone shared ideas and experiences while enjoying cake, truly making this event a memorable experience for all!
