Mike Poznanski reported on the proceedings of the Legacy Project to date.  A committee has been struck chaired by Mike Poznanski and includes Bill Lawrie, Gary Wiggins, Alan Schmelzel, Linda Balzer and Meghan Lahti.  The committee will be looking to the Club for project ideas.  Forms for input were handed out and can also be found on the Club’s website.  Things to consider when thinking about a project are:

  1. It should have a large presence.
  2. It should be something that would have continuous Rotary involvement.
  3. It should focus on the local community.
  4. It should have a high Rotary visibility.
  5. It should have a long lasting effect.  
  6. It should contribute to several areas of service. 
  7. It must be sustainable.

 

The members were encouraged to put on their thinking caps and return their ideas to Mike in the next 3 to 4 weeks.
