Banner ExchangeAll Rotary Clubs in the World have an identifying Rotary Club Banner. The banners are often exchanged with visiting Rotarians who may have brought a banner from their home club.
Ed Holtner travelled to Belgium on the Friendship Exchange. He brought banners from the Hinton Rotary club and presented them to the clubs that hosted him. In turn they presented him with their banner. Ed was fortunate to visit four clubs in Belgium: Gent Prinsenhof (Ghent) Ieper (Ypres) Duiksmude-Westkust (De Panne) Oostende (Ostend) Jean DiCostanzo, Rotary Exchange student swaps banners Tim McLelland, President, Hinton Rotary Club.

Cyara Dodge - A New Paul Harris Fellow
Thank you, Cyara Dodge for your contribution of $US1000 to The Rotary Foundation, Rotary’s own charity and, therefore, every Rotarian’s own charity. Congratulations on becoming a Paul Harris Fellow, there are now over one million Paul Harris Fellows worldwide.
 Every Rotarian should strive to be a Paul Harris Fellow because for each PHF named, we know that US$1000 has been given to The Rotary Foundation. Similarly, for each sapphire or ruby added to a Rotarian’s PHF pin, an additional US$1000 has been given to The Rotary Foundation. We should celebrate each of these milestones (and gem stones) for what they represent. That is, a gift to The Rotary Foundation and an opportunity to do even more good in the world through the Foundation.

Employees in groups of 3 or more, commit a minimum of 3 hours to a project or event for a charity of their choice. In 2015 Hinton RBC completed 5 events and donated $5,000.

ShelterBox
Rotary International and ShelterBox are project partners. Global support from the Rotary network is the cornerstone that ShelterBox is built on.
Rotary’s project partnership agreement with ShelterBox enables both of us to collaborate more closely to bring relief and temporary shelter to survivors of disasters worldwide. The project partnership builds on both of our strengths in responding to disasters all over the world.
The fundraising efforts by Rotarians make up a significant proportion of donations received by ShelterBox. Alongside this, Rotary Clubs provide invaluable logistical support to our field operations. .jpeg) District Representatives for Shelter Box....far right, our Rotary Hinton member Bernie Kreiner
