It’s yet another fellowship in the rotary year 2025-2026. However this is not just any Monday. It’s the second last Monday in the month of September. The end of September signifies that the first quarter of the rotary has quickly gone by. It signifies that Presidents must ponder on what they have achieved since the rotary year began, what is working and what is not working. For the Rotary Club of Kampala North, it is critical for us to reflect on the progress of implementing our work plan. For instance l, as a team leader, have you reviewed your progress, have you shared your progress report with other committee members and with the board? As a member, have you evaluated yourself? How many fellowships have you attended? Have you regularly read the club assembly papers and contributed to the discussion at club assembly? Are you a member of a service committee? How are you supporting the activities of the club or that service committee? Have you made your contribution to humanity either through service, fundraising, and other ways ? How have you contributed to a more fun and impactful club?

A New Leader: To keep things running smoothly, Penny has officially stepped up as our committee's new vice chair. This will help us avoid any slowdowns when Frank is busy.
Security on Site: The budget for two-armed security guards has been approved! We have UGX 2,478,000 set aside for this, and Priscilla is working on getting the details for our security team.
Tight Deadline: Just a heads-up: we're on a tight 90-day schedule, so we need to get our contractor on board soon.
