Purpose: Maintain the district website. Help to educate district clubs as to the value and use of this resource for education as well as dissemination of club information.

Goal: Enhance the district website by publishing the district newsletter and other district information such as RYLA registration forms, PETS registration forms, Belize Host Family applications, etc.

The primary purpose of any Rotary publication, whether it be a printed piece, such as a club or district bulletin or newsletter, a sound recording, or be published electronically such as the content of Web site or electronic mailing list, is to advance the Object of Rotary.

Content and design of such publications should be under the direct supervision of the publishing entity's highest officer, whether it be the Rotary club president, district governor, or Fellowship chairperson, and must conform to current RI policies as set forth in the Manual of Procedure. (Of particular note are those policies pertaining to Rotary Mark and Emblem usage and those prohibiting circularization.)

Rotary International maintains a site on the World Wide Web (www.rotary.org) to provide Rotarians with timely and accurate information about the programs of Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation. Editors of Rotary publications in all media are encouraged to use this information in their respective Rotary organs, provided they adhere to the copyright policies posted on the RI site. Furthermore Rotarians in charge of club, district and affiliate Web sites are encouraged, when feasible, to link to the RI Web site for the benefit of those wishing to learn more about Rotary.
