Program June 7, 2016: PROGRAM: Michael Boyer – “Rotary International Changes in Image”
By Dick Dannells
Pres. Joel began the meeting at 12:36 PM by auctioning off the fine-free badge to Steve Curry for $50.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Pres. Joel called upon Jeff King to report on Summer Sizzle. Jeff stated that every member is requested to bring 2 nice bottles of wine for the live auction and and to fill out a sign-up sheet with the type and vintage of each of the bottles we donate. Steve Curry reported that he had a great time in Uganda on our Club’s Rotary projects and will present a program on the subject in the coming year after he collates 200 pictures and 5 to 6 hours of movies. Connie O’Henley said that she is sending out formal announcements to Pres. Joel’s demotion on June 28 at the San Luis Obispo Country Club. We will be given the choice of top sirloin, fish and a vegetarian entrée. Pres.-elect Greg Baker stated that the RI Convention in Seoul, South Korea was an awesome event. Sharon Ellis asked the representatives accompanied by their sponsors of the following charities to come forward to accept their checks: Five Cities Meals on Wheels; Restorative Partners and Engineers without Borders.
FINES:
Pres. Joel was fined by Sgt. of Arms John Murphy for not starting with the introduction of guests, even though Pres. Joel explained later that it was to save time by having the representatives of the charities be introduced before the other introductions. Pres. Joel called upon fine master Mark Olson to do the honors and he fined Mike Frederick $1 for each of his 59 years as of June 8. Mark fined Kari Ziegler and Don Weber $10 each for not answering a trivia question.
PROGRAM: PROGRAM: Michael Boyer – “Rotary International Changes in Image”
Michael explained that RI comprises 530 Districts organized within 34 zones and he is working with zones 25 and 26 that include all of California, Arizona, Oregon and parts of Washington and Idaho. RI is in the process of changing their image. One definition of Rotary that has acceptance is “Rotary brings leaders together who step forward to take action on some of the challenges in their communities.” Reasons for joining Rotary include fellowship, ethics, diversity and vocational expertise. There are three key components of this change the image endeavor: (1) What is Rotary’s brand experience? (2) What do words and actions say about your club? (3) How does the community view our club’s brand? The classic Rotary gear wheel contains the “Rotary” that is in such small print that non-Rotarians have no idea what the pin means. The new Rotary logo will contain “Rotary” next to the gear wheel. Also each of the logos will be a single color.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY BY JEFF KING:
“All things come to those who wait and only what’s left from those that hustle.”
