Ravindran introduced a member benefits program at the 9 June closing session of the 2015 Rotary International Convention, saying that many more hands are needed to continue Rotary’s work around the world. The program, Rotary Global Rewards, aims to boost membership and enhance member satisfaction. It will debut on 1 July.Rotary Global Rewards “This innovative new program will allow Rotary members to connect with hundreds of businesses and service providers from around the world -- and that number is growing,” said Ravindran. “These establishments will offer Rotarians discounts and concessions on the everyday business that you do. And, in many cases, not only will you benefit, but our Foundation will as well, by receiving a contribution with each transaction.” The program will include discounts on car rentals, hotels, dining, and entertainment. Discounts on more products and services from companies worldwide are expected to be added throughout the year. “It will be another way to benefit from being a Rotarian and being part of the Rotary network,” said Ravindran, whose presidential theme for 2015- 16 is Be a Gift to the World. “I urge all of you to become a part of that scheme.” Member benefits program unveiled as convention draws to a close

The Arlington City Council on Tuesday approved a development agreement for D.R. Horton, Inc. that will assist the nation’s largest builder with its corporate relocation to the city. This move will bring an expected 500 jobs to Arlington. According to city leaders, the site has some development challenges which is why D.R. Horton approached the city for financial assistance to help improve the infrastructure. The City of Arlington’s $5.5 million development grant will assist D.R. Horton with improvements to drainage, roadways, structured parking and other infrastructure. The company plans to invest more than $20 million to build an approximately 150,000 square-foot campus and parking facility on six acres located along the I-30 Frontage Road just east of N. Collins Street. The relocation will provide D.R. Horton a company- owned headquarters conveniently located in the heart of North Texas with great access to DFW International Airport. - See more at: http://www.arlington-tx.gov/news/2015/08/04/d-r- horton-moving-headquarters-to-arlington-bringing- 500-jobs/#sthash.iU06sEJj.dpuf August 13 th : Terry Ip & Warren Ehn August 20 th : Mike Becknal & need one more August 27 th : Greg Miller and Adnan Bahar We have the New Rotarian at work Rotary shirts in.
