I am a Rotarian, I know I Can!
Posted by Steve Frazier
President Tom Anderson, Woody Love and Steve Frazier attended the Fall Training Session for District 5950 on Saturday, September 24th at the Golden Valley Country Club. The training focused on the areas of the Foundation, Membership and Public Relations. However the first session was devoted to updates and great information about Camp Enterprise, Warm Hearts, STRIVE, Youth Exchange and "Fast for Hope" initiatives in Rotary.
The Concurrent Breakout Sessions featured Membership Training that Tom attended; the Foundation; and Public Relations Training that Steve attended. Both Tom and Steve noted how valuable the sessions were and how they will help set the tone for this year in the District and in our own Rotary Club of Excelsior – "I am a Rotarian, I know I Can."
The PR Training focused on 10 PR Suggestions that promote Rotary, build membership and educating both members and the public at large about the good works accomplished by Rotary. The Excelsior Rotary is doing many of the ten initiatives and will strive to accomplish all of them this year! The ten items are: 1 Club Website, 2 Local News coverage, 3 Display Logo at Meeting Place, 4 Club Brochure, 5 Publish Quarterly Newsletters, 6 Broadcast on Cable TV, 7 Local Community Parade or Events, 8 Meet Your Neighbors (at home and at your business), 9 Display rotary Logo, and 10 Get everyone to have a 30 second Rotary Elevator Speech!
After a nice lunch the Keynote Speaker was Associate Justice G. Barry Anderson of the Minnesota Supreme Court. He was a great speaker and humorous! He talked about his association with the Hutchinson Rotary and that he is a third generation Rotary member. It was a great day and our delegates to the training session will be reporting back to their committees, the Board and our Members over the next several weeks at meetings or through the website.
