Hello Rotary Friends,

This week our meeting will be our first club assembly in some time. We are very fortunate to get so many quality speakers but a review of our finances and discussions about our future are necessary and refreshing. Please bring your thoughts and feel free to voice your opinion. This is OUR club and everyone will be heard. 

Thanks to all of the committee members who continue their good work. The ten day letters for our first group of the evening extension club went out this morning. This is a great opportunity for our club to grow and be accessible to more members. The Wild Game Dinner committee needs the support of our entire club for this event. Let’s shoot for 100% participation. Whether attending, sponsoring, providing game or volunteering in some way our club needs your help. Thank you in advance. 

YIR,

Mark

Rotary Awards

APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2018-19 ROTARY YEAR

 

Hugh Archer  Awards –    Deadline  April 12th, 2019

Inventor, engineer, executive, humanitarian, scientist, businessman Past RI President (19891990) and Dearborn
Rotarian Hugh M. Archer was all those things and more, making him one of Rotary’s “Renaissance Men”    Hugh Archer died on July 15, 2005 in Dearborn Michigan, and his legacy to Rotary lives on in the hearts and minds of   Rotarians worldwide. Hugh’s great belief was that Rotarians enjoyed their meetings, enjoyed service, enjoyed informality  and enjoyed getting to know one another. The RI theme for his year was pure Hugh Archer:  “Enjoy Rotary”

Rotary District 6400 and his home club established these award to honor Hugh during his year as Rotary International President.    This is for a New Project  either for an individual club or collaborative with 2 or more clubs.


The project has to be implemented between April 1, 2018 and April 1, 2019. Any questions      Contact DGE John Chambers

Hedke Awards      Deadline to submit  April 5th, 2019

Please note that this year’s Hedke is different from past year’s. Questions that required a subjective response have been eliminated. In their place are several questions at the end of the survey to which your club can submit a “free form” response. Please make sure you read those questions carefully and prepare your answers as directed. Failure to upload that document could result in a significant loss of points and penalize your club’s score. You can leave your work and return to the survey as long as you do so from the same computer which you initially used to access the submission form.

You may review the questions and essay questions and work on them off line before submitting them on the survey monkey by downloading this work sheet.     Hedke_Form_2018-19 work sheet 

COG Awards 

The Council of Governor’s (COG) award is the premier award of District 6400 and it is designed to recognize individuals for their exemplary past and continuing service to the District and to their Club.  Just as the cog represents an integral working part of the Rotary logo wheel, the individual represents a vital moving part of the Rotary Wheel of Service.  The COG Award is designed to recognize an individual, currently active, for outstanding service in one or more of the five avenues of service including continued service to the individual’s club.   Please consider nominating one of your club members for this award.  With the member’s name, please highlight their contributions to the club and to the District.  Please email  DG Paul Sincock with your nominations by April 1st, 2019.

Many of you know me as the principal of the high school but now my primary job is building and maintaining trust between the Trenton Public Schools and all of its constituents - students, parents, staff, and the residents of Trenton.

 

As Community Liaison Director, I want everyone aware that the Trenton Public Schools are committed to open, honest, and ongoing communication.

 

One aspect of my job is to provide two-way communication  with people as we work to build relationships and share information with the community.

 

For example, the community of Trenton supported the Trenton Public Schools by passing a $57 million dollar bond on May 8, 2018.

I will be updating the community on the Bond Improvements and progress being made to the schools.. I want to present accurate information through a variety of media including the TPS website, Twitter and Facebook. I also want to gather data about the schools through surveys from students, staff, and the community.

We are fortunate in Trenton to have the Trenton Trib, the News-Herald, and other methods of print communication that are excellent ways to get information to the public.  

I will also be working on establishing an effective employee communication plan to improve both internal communication and employee engagement throughout the schools.

I have already been, and will be working towards achieving a coordinated communication plan  regarding safety issues and crisis management. Also want to maintain a positive media relationship to help enhance the district’s image at the local, state, and national level.

 
These relationships that are built throughout the community of Trenton are vital to having a strong school system.


We all benefit from a strong school system. The well being of our community depends on all of us being the best we can and I’m excited to be apart of it.
