Reminder - Rotary Meeting, Thursday, Nov. 16, 7:00 AM at Stevies Cafe.
Good Evening,
Reminding you all we have our meeting on Thursday, November 16, 7:00 AM at Stevies. Kathy hosts and our presenter is going to be a surprise.
Last week Ken hosted Mark and Cathy Berger. Their topic was "Rotary Member in Service". This was an excellent review for our club members on Rotary and the avenues of Service. We had some good discussion on how we met these avenues in the past and how we could continue to build on that in the future. It is critical for our club's continued success. This is what the agenda looked like:
Member IN- Service Part 1
** We did a quick Overview of Membership Survey Results with reflective questions for members to ponder.
** Rotary Basics : Refreshing and Educating All members
We will be completing Member IN-Service Part 2 - Where our Club goes from here on Dec. 7.
Remember, the Salvation Army is starting their Red Kettle Campaign Thanksgiving weekend. Please let me know when you would like to ring and where so I can get you signed up.
Last week we reviewed the Rose Sales... we are still waiting for final expense numbers, but we did sell overall 201 dozen. Again, thank you to everyone who helped out in some way.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES:
Ruby's Pantry - December 16 Please put it on your calendar now so we have good coverage!
Salvation Army Bell Ringing - starts next week. If you have any preferential times/places please let me know so I can schedule.
Can Am Bon Spiel Committees are set. They will be looking for help during the event on Feb. 1, 2, and 3, 2024 Sign up sheets will be coming soon.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
We need your help, as a Rotary leader, to raise funds and awareness for The Rotary Foundation this Giving Tuesday, 28 November.
This global day of generosity is an opportunity for all members to make a big impact, with a gift of any size that supports projects you’re passionate about.
Here’s how to get ready for Giving Tuesday:
The Foundation will recognize the top three clubs in fundraising, donor participation, and online giving. Find out which clubs were recognized last year and set a giving goal for your club this year. Just be sure the gifts are made on 28 November!
As we approach this day of giving, remind other members that every contribution, no matter the size, helps Rotary create positive change in the world.
We know that with your help, Giving Tuesday will be a bigger success than ever.
Sincerely,
The Rotary Foundation |
