OBSERVATIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES

In the spirit of improving the efficiency of our Rotary office there are a few areas where our volunteer help would be welcome!

FOLD & STUFF

Each week approximately sixty of our Pulse newsletters are manually folded, stuffed, addressed and mailed.   It is about a 45 minute endeavor for which staff would welcome volunteer help on a Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning. Please contact Cindy or me if you can volunteer an hour or so each week to assist with this task.

THE PULSE

I am particularly passionate about our Pulse newsletter as the former editor and publisher of my high school newspaper and co-editor (with my sister) of my yearbook way back in 1973.

With so many remarkable projects, events, achievements and other activities going on in our club, wouldn’t it be exciting to memorialize it all in a living diary for the benefit and knowledge of not only our membership but for all of the clubs within our District ?

The Pulse is well suited to become a first class publication with photos and all the window dressing. All we are lacking is a creative visionary, like you, to take the reins of what can become a focal newsletter of the District (and our staff would be delighted to acquiesce)!

After all, our club is the “big fish” in our District representing 25% of its membership and having been involved in one way, shape or form in the creation of every one of the 40 clubs of our District 5180.

So if you are inspired to relieve our staff of this weekly duty, taking our Pulse newsletter to new heights (and maybe even a publication award), track me down and let’s brainstorm. I think we can have a lot of fun with it, District wide.

IT DOESN’T JUST HAPPEN

Every week your faithful Art and Kiefie, Bob Daly, Alex, Cindy and Hal prepare the ballroom at the Radisson or wherever we may be meeting, for yet another entertaining, educational and hopefully inspiring lunch meeting.

Particularly during the summer months, but more often than not, we are short staffed and could use the help of a few additional volunteers with set up. Seasoned and new members alike, if you can lend a hand for a few hours a week or rotating monthly, your assistance would be welcome. Please contact Bob Daly directly for the details (dalyr@financialnetwork.com/916-643-1400).

Well another week of our lives has whistled by and your generosity has continued to flow. I look forward to seeing you next week or perhaps join Jim Phillips and me for a “stroll” to May Lake in Yosemite on Saturday, August 13th for some world class scenery and camaraderie!

STRIVE FOR YOUR SUMMITS!
