A Rotary Club of Harrisburg service project during September’s Service month is a perfect example of how your donations to the Rotary International Foundation come back to fulfill needs in our own community.
“The last Rotary Club of Harrisburg Service on a Monday during Service September was a big success,” so brags Meghan Bachmore and Karen Cullings Executive Director of the McCormick Riverfront Library part of the Dauphin County Library.
In the 2011-12 year Rotary Club of Harrisburg (RCH) member Bob Hanson threw his passion, intelligence and money behind a strategic planning initiative for our Club. Assisting him, among others, was then member Deloris Liptack a respected strategic planning consultant from our region who brought her expertise and commitment to the RCH table.
The RCH’s concept of strategic planning for a Rotary club quickly became the envy of other clubs in our District and beyond. Actually, our Club was asked for advice on how to do strategic planning from many clubs including ongoing discussions with a club in Malaysia.
This initial commitment to a member-involved planning effort to review our actions and future needs became an annual initiative.
