State of the City at Tattersall

On March 4th, we moved our Rotary meeting to Tattersall to hear City Administrator and River Falls Rotarian Scot Simpson update us on the state of the city. The "Back to the Future" theme was both entertaining and informative, and it gave us a lot to think about regarding where River Falls has come from as a city and where it's going.

The History and Significance of Soil Science at UW-River Falls

Club Assembly - Things We Discussed

George shared some of what he learned at his recent president-elect prep session, and we started with a fun table-by-table discussion of what could be termed "an oddball question". Then we moved on to more serious discussion of upcoming events, the need for member recruitment/retention/engagement, and some specifics about upcoming events in April. We also talked briefly about meeting frequency and times, with several interesting ideas emerging. Another topic was our local profile and how to raise awareness and use what Rotary is about locally and worldwide to attract members. Again, good ideas came out from those at the meeting. Thanks to all the "stay at homes" during spring break week for the schools who shared their thoughts.
