Rotary Club Survey-palooza
RECAP
Survey Setup
The meeting turned into a feedback fest via QR code—because nothing says fun like 23 questions on your phone.
Anonymity was optional, judging eyes were not.
Topics: expectations, operations, and “Are we philanthropic enough?”
Participation & Process
Honest answers begged for; the first question got the VIP treatment.
Live results = instant drama and debate.
Club Expectations
Members want friends, good programs, and minimal awkward networking.
Some survey questions felt like reruns.
Mission & Philanthropy
Many weren’t sure what the club actually does.
Local scholarships = love. Global causes = polite nod.
“Waterman” fund was name-dropped like a celebrity cameo.
Money Talk
Most agreed the club’s funds are in good shape.
Overheard: A member digging up ancient budget drama for flair.
Give More or Chill?
Mixed opinions: some want to go big, others say we’re good.
Everyone agrees the club is helping—25 scholarships isn’t nothing.
Reflections
We’re doing great—just not great at talking about it.
Camaraderie > trophies.
Suggestion: add a philanthropy blurb to The Spoke, Mike needs more work.
Club & Membership
Attendance and growth still need CPR.
Recruitment questions mysteriously absent.
Wrap-Up
Facilitator thanked everyone for not rioting.
Results heading to the board—buckle up.
