Geri Appel included the article below in our latest District Newsletter obtained from a Facebook post by Rotarian Evan Burrell. This was also a recent discussion at our board meeting, so it serves as a good reminder to all of our club members:
As brand ambassadors, we must adhere to the Rotary brand standards in order to strengthen our recognizability and unity. Please always check and be sure that Rotary branding is used in a correct and consistent way while sharing materials on your web page, Facebook, and other platforms / communication channels. Keep in mind that even good intentions are watering down Rotary brand if not used correctly.
