We had a great crowd last week to hear our District Governor, Rick Moore address our club. Thanks for all of you who were able to make the meeting and a special thanks to those of you who brought a visitor. Although Rick talked about a number of goals for our District, three major areas were emphasized. First, as a Rotarian, each of us should remember the motto, "Service above self" and do our part to serve our community. There are many projects that our Rotary Club supports (e.g., DJJ Interact, Dutch Fork Interact, Nursery Road Elementary, Adopt a Highway, Meals on Wheels, just to name a few). If you would like to get more involved with any of these projects, please let me know.
Attracting new members and keeping our existing new members is a second major area of focus. Unfortunately, statistics show that most clubs lose 10% of their members each year due to a variety of factors. The District has asked us to grow our members by at least one person. We started the year with 61 members so by the end of June we need to have at least 62 members. Please help us reach this goal by bringing a prospective member to one of our meetings. And when you see a visitor, please do your part in introducing yourself and making them feel welcome. Remember, each month you can bring one prospective member to the meeting and their breakfast is paid by the club.
Finally, the third major area of focus is the Paul Harris Fellows. Ginny will be discussing her plans to support this effort in the weeks ahead. She is going to need all of our support as we work together to support our local and international projects.
See you in the morning!
