The event was held at the Golden Valley country Club on Friday, September 23, 2011. Tom Thorfinnson (Past RI Vice President) was the mornings keynote speaker who spoke about the mission of rotary and how to tell the story of Rotary to prospective new members. Then the Excelsior Delegation was off to the breakout sessions for the Rotary Foundation, membership, PR and the Leadership Academy. The sessions were excellent and filled with tips for improving the Excelsior Club.
The afternoon keynote speaker was Amanda Robertson of the Rotary Foundation areas of Water and Sanitation Projects and she joined the Excelsior Delegation for lunch. She spoke about the great work that Rotary is doing throughout the world through the RI Foundation. She emphasized the importance of have continuity over a period of time on projects so that Rotarians can make a meaningful difference not just with their financial donations but to become involved in the community they are helping.
All who attend agreed that they all picked-up valuable ideas to help improve the Excelsior Club. Pictured here with the Excelsior Delegation is Amanda Robinson (Story and photo by Steve Frazier)
