Greetings fellow Rotarians.

This up coming Thursday September 20, 2018 our Speaker will be:

Patty F. Barten with:

CFC proactively preserves and restores land with the help of volunteers and donors who want to protect the health and beauty of the land for future generations. We also work within the community and the region to foster good environmental ethics and practices. Our efforts benefit native plants and animals and enhance ecosystem services such as groundwater protection, flood and erosion control, and carbon storage.

The tickets are now closed for the local chapter Lyric event. Thank you members who will be attending, and thank you Randall and Connie for your sponsorship. The performers, in a small space, create an amazing experience. Plus, we will be creating increased visibility for the Lyric and ourselves - beneficial to all concerned!

Art in the Barn will be this weekend. Contact Pat Hogan to both support our club and her Auxiliary leadership at Advocate Good Shepherd

The Palatine Oktoberfest enjoyed terrific weather and thank you to all the club members who attended and some who also volunteered. Mutual support is a great additional avenue of service within Rotary.

Talei Thompson, Coach, Teacher & Speaker

Talei Thompson was our speaker for the day. He is a member of the Maywood Proviso Rotary Club. They have more than doubled their membership over an 18 month period, from 22 to 48 members. Two of their members do not live in their community, but are virtual members who attend via live streaming.

He shared some of his thoughts on how to revitalize and grow Rotary at a local level.

Have remarkable speakers and programs. He gave some examples of dynamic speakers they have had.
Use live streaming. He heard an incredible District Governors presentation by a Rotarian who is out of state. He was able to use Zoom to have the person present to his club.
Consider holding evening meetings. His club has an evening meeting once a month on Friday at the TGIF in Oak Park.
Use the law of explosive growth. A concept he learned from Dr. John Maxwell. Strategically recruit a leader of influence. If a person truly has influence after learning about Rotary, they will share with others they know and encourage them to attend and join. If they invite 7 people, maybe 4 will join.

He then shared a story about his grandmother and how she taught him the importance of character and hard work. These are essential characteristics of a strong leader.
