===========Msg from RI President Bill Boyd===================

Dear Rotary Club President and President-elect,

The RI Board of Directors is conducting a new pilot project beginning 1 July
2007, based on results from the current New Models Pilot Project that ends
30 June 2007. The Board would like more supporting data on how allowing
clubs flexibility in their meeting frequency affects essential operations.

The "Meeting Frequency Pilot Project," will evaluate the impact of meeting
frequency on a club's ability to sustain and increase membership, implement
successful service projects, support The Rotary Foundation, and develop
leaders beyond the club level. The new pilot runs from 1 July 2007 to 30
June 2013. A total of 200 clubs, with equal representation from the 34
zones and chartered prior to 30 June 2003, will be chosen to participate.
The revised deadline for submitting a pilot application form is 8 June 2007.
Club and district officers will be notified of clubs selected to participate
by 30 June 2007.

To participate in this new pilot project, you will need agreement from your
district governor and district governor-elect. Contact your Club and
District Support representative with any questions. Enclosed are the
"Meeting Frequency Pilot Project" plan details and application form.

Thank you for Leading the Way in this important work for Rotary's future.

Sincerely,

Bill Boyd
President, RI
