Membership Push

 
Hello everyone!
 
We had a great meeting last week, it was a great honor for our club to host a sitting governor of the state of Maine! Thanks to everyone and their guests that came out!
 
Stay tuned this week for an announcement regarding where the August 2nd evening meeting will be held. I'm going to try and mix things up a little and move us around town a bit, hopefully some place different every month. Also, please remember that this year is a big push for membership and all of you are strongly encouraged to try and bring at least one non-Rotary person, who may have interest in joining, to a meeting this year. The evening meetings are a great venue to bring prospective members as they are usually easier for people to schedule and present a more loose atmosphere to mingle and get to know one another better.
 
See you all this week!
 
Steve
 
 
What's Happening
Rotary Foundation
 
 
Sam Owori Fund
 
I know we were all very sad to learn of the sudden death of RI President-Elect Sam Owori.  In celebration of Sam’s extraordinary life and his many Rotary accomplishments, RI has established a new fund at the Foundation in his memory.  To make a gift to this polio fund, visit https://map.rotary.org/en/selfservice/pages/SelectFundF.aspx?FUND=APF.
 
If you make a gift, be sure to share your receipt with Treasurer Ron Wrobel.  A gift to this polio fund would be eligible for a match from our club, up to $50.
 
 
On a lighter note, Scott has asked me to serve as the Sergeant at Arms this week.  I love that power because I can ask anything during HAPPY/SAD/FINES.  This week, if you read this column, I will have a prize for you.

Membership Committee
 
 
Our first meeting
 
... is going to be 15 minutes before the start of the Aug 2, evening meeting. I am not sure where that meeting is being held. I heard it might be at Mainly Meat, but you should stay tuned just to be sure. 
 
This meeting is really just going to be a quick meet-up so I can tell you about the vision for membership this year and we can all (or as many of us as possible) can determine if this is a good time for the rest of the year or not. 
 
I hope you are all having a lovely weekend, and I'll send another reminder out closer to the Aug 2 date. 
 
If you have kiddos, it is totally fine for them to hang out during this meeting. We are a kid friendly committee.

Rotary Happenings
When we introduced Rotary Club Central in 2012, it revolutionized goal tracking and planning for clubs and districts — no more filling out paper club-planning forms or passing along boxes of historical club information every time a new leader took office. Rotary Club Central offered clubs and districts a quantifiable way to begin measuring local and global impact, specifically membership initiatives, service activities, and Rotary Foundation giving. But as with any technological advancement, in a few short years, Rotary Club Central began to show its age, and Rotarians took notice. They...
 
At its January 2017 meeting, the Rotary International Board of Directors adopted a new zone structure for Rotary clubs. Rotary bylaws require the Board to complete a comprehensive review of the 34 Rotary zones no less often than every eight years to ensure that each zone has an approximately equal number of Rotarians. The Board’s previous review of the zones occurred in 2008. The Board earlier approved the creation of three regional workgroups to develop rezoning proposals for Asia, Europe/Africa, and the Americas. These workgroups comprised one representative (either a current director,...
 
Through The Rotary Foundation, Rotary members have supported thousands of projects that promote peace, fight disease, provide clean water, save mothers and children, support education, and grow local economies. We’ve also led the fight to eradicate polio worldwide. As part of our celebration of the Foundation’s centennial, we’re honoring 20 global grant projects with special recognition.
