Joys & Concerns
Joy: Christine Sable is glad that the political ads are over.
† President Russ has asked the Board Members to take responsibility for several of the weekly duties for a few weeks. All Board Members are assigned Lanes of Service. By having the Board Members know the individual duties associated with their particular Lanes of Service, it will help the Board understand the various duties. Also, this allows the Club Members to become acquainted and talk with the Board Members.
All Rotarians – especially committee chairs – are encouraged to help keep our new Club Calendar full and updated with the great things that our Club is doing in the community. Please submit any items you would like added to RotaryClubofLancaster@gmail.com. Examples include the schedule of McCaskey Mentoring Sessions, Committee Meetings, Power Packs or Salvation Army Bell Ringing. If it’s happening, let’s get it on the Calendar for all to see! Your help will keep us all updated with what’s going on within the Club AND will showcase our very active Club to the Lancaster Community and to prospective members. The Club Calendar is available atwww.LancasterRotary.org
