Paul McMenemy spoke with great affection about our new Prez Linda. Linda and Guy had a great time at Toronto convention unlike other past Prez 's who have went to Atlanta ,Australia, Korea and Brazil,who next year go to Germany and then Hawaii. ( no sign of jealousy) Many good speakers who talked about the need for clean water and literacy. The House of Friendship was a popular place. Rotarions from California and Australia that went to the Old Marina Bar said it was their highlight of the convention. Something to be proud of as 2.5 billion children have been immunized for Polio. Linda met a new friend that she hopes to bring out as a guest. A young lady that survived Rwanda genocide and has been educated at WLU. Linda spoke about her Rotary story. ( you might be asked so think about it) Noah introduced her to Rotary. Linda had been looking for something for a few years. Prior to that she went to Sir Lanka to help build houses. The hard work and the love of the people is something that has stuck with her and how blessed we are. She felt a need to reach out and do something. Linda spoke about Engagement ( not the Codi kind) She wants higher attendance at weekly meetings. More club involvement in projects etc. Attendance at committee meetings will count. I think there is more to come on how we send this to Heidi There is a survey coming from Linda next week. Weekly Pods When you are on a pod you must get a replacement. Find a buddy in the club. Show up at 1200. Read Larry B email . Get Bio for speaker from website. The Bell is in a bag in podium. Put Bell away after in the bag in podium. ( I probably forgot a few... most important show up) Linda Goals are to grow members from 57 to 70. 4 fund raisers Engagement with the Bridges on employment. Work with the city on opiate crisis. Caitlynn McInyre is going to be liaison with new Rotaract club. Plan a working trip similar to Dennis Birleys trip to DR Have service meetings away from the club monthly Find a new bulletin editor for the 4th Thursday. ( pay and benefits are excellent) Linda and Larry B are accepting applications Linda and Rotary theme this year it is Be the Inspiration. In her case it is an older brother.... Who inspires you? Think about it.. Past Prez Paul Codi thanked Prez Linda. Prez Linda said the club is still immunizing 10 children every week to thank the speaker. |
