New President Induction 2018/2019
Mandy Kwasnica was inducted into her new position of President of the Rotary Club of Winnipeg- Charleswood by now, Past President Bob Antymniuk. The Nominating Committee will submit a slate of officers for the club to Rotary International in the near future.
 
President Mandy Kwasnica`s first act in office was to present Past-President Bob Antymniuk his ‘Past President`s Pin’.
 
President Mandy Kwasnica`s Goals for Rotary 2018/2019
Plans to learn along the way.
Build on the job done by Past-President Bob, everything he accomplished will be followed
Not looking to change anything, just build on it.
R.I. President Barry Rassin new theme, ‘Be the Inspiration’.
Plan on utilizing the talents and resources of club members.
 
At her first meeting as a guest, one of the club members asked for volunteers for a project. A great proportion of hands were immediately raised. She had never seen anything like it. She couldn`t be any prouder to be the next President of the Charleswood Rotary Club. Mandy wants to survey each one of us, to find out what we may have to give to the club and Rotary. Also, what the club can do for us. She believes that the club could benefit from more public relations. A greater online presence could help the club. Social media use can spread the word regarding what we are doing at any moment. It is possible to never miss a meeting in the future if you are ‘connected’. You could sign-in to a site and take part in the meeting-live.
 
Rotary`s new Vision Statement
 
Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves.”Barry Rassin.
 
President Mandy`s Goals
Speak to each of us and find a way to be involved.
Every meeting accessible to everyone.
Increase our digital space (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter +++).
Make our projects known. (IRCOM, ShelterBox, Polio+, Westgrove, Urban Stable +++).
Balance international and local community projects.
Increase membership by 5 net members, (after tonight / 3 to go!).
 
In closing Mandy asked for us to be kind, follow the 4-Way Test and have an open mind. Strive to attain this each and every day. Build on our successes.
