DISTRICT INSTALLATION NEXT MONDAY!

There are already 220 Rotarians and friends, and over twenty clubs registered for the District Installation Dinner. With only seven days until the big day for the incoming presidents, their leadership teams and those who will serve the district, now is the time to register. Dave Manzi, the incoming Governor, would love to have every president for the 2015-2016 Rotary year attend and be part of a great evening of fun and fellowship. We as members of our individual clubs have an opportunity to show our support for those who have stepped forward to take on these important roles in providing service to our communities. The committee highly encourages clubs to reserve a table early to insure that your members can sit together.

NEW LIBRARY FOR EBUAMBA PRIMARY SCHOOL

Imagine going to school with no books! There are no story books in your home. And no school books in your backpack. When you get to school, the books aren’t there either. You have to find a buddy who has a textbook. Then you and two or three of your friends can share the book together.

That was how things used to be at the Ebussamba Primary School in Amesbury’s sister village of Esabalu, Kenya. But now, thanks to the generosity of the Rotary Club of Amesbury and the Rotary Club of Maseno, Kenya, the village school has a reading room/library to provide access to schoolbooks for all 900 students in grades 1 to 8.

CLUB VISIONING UPDATE

What is a Club Facilitation?
Why should your club participate?
How do we schedule a Vision Facilitation Session?
 
Club Visioning is a process designed to help Rotary Clubs create their own unique vision and to outline the steps necessary to achieve that vision. The result is a vision designed and endorsed by the club's own members. District 7930 is committed to providing clubs with trained facilitators to help a club process this vision during a visioning event.
 
The evening consists of a club discussion about how members want their club to develop over the next three to five years in a fun and informative session in a format designed to draw out each members interests and passions. This straightforward process provides the ability to build consensus in each of the key topics in club operations, including membership, service, youth services, fellowship and foundation support among others.
 
Some of the dialog includes:
  • What the club stands for in the community
  • The club's target membership size and demographics in three years
  • Identification of the club's attributes, challenges and opportunities
  • Top objectives for each avenue of service, and
  • Ways to improve the club's leadership development.
Ten district clubs have completed a visioning and the members were excited, engaged and told the visioning team how it will improve their clubs.
 
If you would like a representative from the Visioning Team to visit your club or Board meeting, please contact Peter Majane at peter.majane@gmail.com or 781.443.5148.
