Support Youth: Rotary License Plate Program

Support Utah Rotary Youth Programs 

WHILE promoting Rotary everywhere you drive. 

It is really easy to support our younger generations: Get a Rotary license plate (and please renew it every year!).  Proceeds from these license plates allow us to put on trainings and events for our youth, recognize exceptional leaders, as well as send our Interactors & Rotaractors to Rotary conferences.

Here's how you can get your Rotary license plate (at all DMVs in Utah):

1. In person at the DMV, submit the paperwork needed to register your vehicle.  Let them know you want to have the "Humanitarian Service" special group plate.  You'll pay $16 for the initial special plate fee, and an additional $25 for the contribution (which is also the price of renewing).
2. By mail, submit a copy of your current registration, along with a note that you would like the "Humanitarian Service" special group plate. Include a check for $45 ($25 towards youth programs, $16 for the plate fee & $4 for postage) made out to: Utah State Tax Commission Motor Vehicle Division. Mail everything to: Utah State Tax Commission Motor Vehicle Division P.O. Box 30412 Salt Lake City, UT 84130.

For more info, call 801-297-7780 or 1-800-DMV-UTAH (800-368-8824), or click HERE for the DMV special group plates webpage.

Rotary's Service Project Showdown

We're excited to announce our Service Project Showdown competition between our Utah Rotaract and Interact Clubs! Clubs will submit a 3 minute video of their club "Making a Difference" (Rotary International's theme for the year), by March 1, 2018.  Videos will be judged by a panel of Rotarians who will be looking for clubs that highlight Rotary-strong projects/events.  See below for what components make up a Rotary-strong project.

Here's what clubs must do to participate:

1. SHARE a 1-2 minute video of your club putting on your proposed service project by March 1, 2018.  Here's where you'll share it.
2. HANG TIGHT as Rotarians look over your videos.
3. CELEBRATE at our 2018 Annual Rotary Youth Conference in Springdale as we announce the winning clubs, and award them with prize money. If your club members can't make it, we'll notify you if you're one of the winning club. 

What is a Rotary-strong Project?  As Rotarians, we're proud of our the work we do. With our efforts, we consider 3 components to ensure we have the biggest and best impact possible:

• We seek for quality of our service projects & events.  
• Does our project address one of Rotary's 6 avenues of service? 
• What is the impact of our project/event, and on who? 
• How well has our club considered the sustainability of our efforts? 
• How creative or memorable is our club's project?  How much does the project stand out compared to others?
• We seek to strengthen friendships and our team.
• How well does our project engage each of our club members? 
• How well has our club considered collaborating with other clubs & Rotarians-- creating an even bigger team?
• How well has our club celebrated our successes and members?  
• We seek to expand our movement.
• How well have we publicized our efforts?  Do people know about our project/event?
• How well has our club invited the larger community to join our efforts?
• How well have we educated others (including club members!) on what we are doing and why it is important? 

Good luck, everyone!  For questions or concerns, please contact Miriam Barth at youthrotary@gmail.com.
