During her inaugural address over the noon hour at Prante's on July 3 Wahpeton Rotary's new President Pam M. told the members that the current programs would be maintained. She singled out Membership as a crucial issue. Jordan Ottoson will be returning as Membership Director and she promised Jordan to work with him on the issue calling for other members to step up and work with Jordan. She said that she would not be a "delegate and disappear" President but be involved with the members in the projects. In planning projects she wants better budget numbers both for time and money and, a new addition, a post project review of each project.
As to the New Generations programs she plans to keep the dictionary program and Student of the Month but wants to get teams back in the schools telling the students of what Rotary has available for the youth. She wants the Model United Nations program to be a part of that.
Singling out Rotary Foundation Club Director Kim Nelson she spoke of the success of the "Fill the Bus" program for the Richland-Wilkin Food Pantry last summer. Kim will be managing the program again this year. We will also be working this fall with the United Way in their "Fill the Bus" program related to school supplies for children otherwise unable to acquire them.
She closed by noting that the Rotary Club of Wahpeton, N.D. is a "professional family that works hard to make Rotary better and our community proud of us."
