Rotary Club of Downtown Auckland, Inc.

Weekly Meeting

Tuesday 26/03/2019

New Member Induction + High-level Brainstorming Session on Club Strategy & Structure

In lieu of a guest speaker, we have a number of activities on the 26^th of March:

• come and get to know Susan Benedek and Matthew Orange who will become Downtown Rotarians at our new member induction

• find out the final status of Mal’s Challenge

• hear a 5-minute presentation on mindfulness from Tony Keegan

• a quick update on the Battle of the Suits from Gill Johnston

Participate and share your thoughts about our strategy and structure around Social Causes instead of Committees. We want to hear how things are working and will use the feedback in next year’s annual planning.

A group brainstorming session will be facilitated to work through the following questions regarding our Club Strategy to focus on the 7+1 (Micro-financing in Fiji) Causes and the alignment of members based on their interest and passion:

1. What has worked well?

2. What can be improved?

3. What tools or resources are necessary for members or Champions to increase their effectiveness?

4. Are the goals the right ones for the Causes? Should the goals also incorporate non-monetary goals such as activities, relationship building, long-term outcomes?

Please come show your support of our newest members and share your thoughts on how we can continue to learn and grow as a Club. Your feedback is important and enables us to stay relevant and vibrant.

Reception: Chris Winders, Diane Davidson, Pam Deal
