Program
Don Bonner spoke about the use of internet tools to promote Rotary events. He told us to consider the club webpage as the centre of the web. It contains the most detailed information.
Facebook events can be used to direct attention to the club webpage. An image from the webpage can be shown on Facebook with a link back to the club website page. Sharing the club Facebook post by club members & friends is a powerful way to get the word out.
