RI President-elect K.R. Ravindran introduced a member
benefits program at the 9 June closing session of the 2015 Rotary International Convention, saying that many more hands are needed to continue Rotary’s work around the world.
The program, Rotary Global Rewards, aims to boost membership and enhance member satisfaction. It will debut on 1 July.
“This innovative new program will allow Rotary members to connect with hundreds of businesses and service providers from around the world -- and that number is growing,” said Ravindran. “These establishments will offer Rotarians discounts and concessions on the everyday business that you do. And, in many cases, not only will you benefit, but our Foundation will as well, by receiving a contribution with each transaction.”
The program will include discounts on car rentals, hotels, dining, and entertainment. Discounts on more products and services from companies worldwide are expected to be added throughout the year.
“It will be another way to benefit from being a Rotarian and being part of the Rotary network,” said Ravindran, whose presidential theme for 2015-16 is Be a Gift to the World. “I urge all of you to become a part of that scheme.”

The Arlington City Council on Tuesday approved a
development agreement for D.R. Horton, Inc. that will
assist the nation’s largest builder with its corporate
relocation to the city. This move will bring an expected
500 jobs to Arlington. According to city leaders, the
site has some development challenges which is why
D.R. Horton approached the city for financial
assistance to help improve the infrastructure. The City
of Arlington’s $5.5 million development grant will assist
D.R. Horton with improvements to drainage, roadways,
structured parking and other infrastructure. The
company plans to invest more than $20 million to build
an approximately 150,000 square-foot campus and
parking facility on six acres located along the I-30
Frontage Road just east of N. Collins Street. The
relocation will provide D.R. Horton a company-owned
headquarters conveniently located in the heart of North
Texas with great access to DFW International Airport. -
