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.

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.

Last Week in Rotary
Newark Unified School District
Patrick Sanchez, Superintendent of Newark Unified School District gave a fun and informative presentation about the district. The essence of the presentation was a review of where the district stands now, and some of the work already done to improve the appearance of schools and quality of education. Superintendent Sanchez ended with a fun and optimistic look at what the future will be like when teachers are recognized for the value they bring to our communities through development of our students.
We were also visited by three members of the Interact Club of Newark Memorial High School.

A Word From the President:
Neighbors
Two events of note brought together citizens and public servants of many communities.
Wednesday afternoon, Mike Carroll was sworn in as Newark's Chief of Police. The Newark Community Center was filled with police officers, other public servants and citizens from near and far, honoring Chief Carroll as he was given his oath of office by former police chief Jim Leal.
The next day, Newark Mayor Alan Nagy and Councilman Mike Hannon visited Fremont at the Tri Cities Marketing Council, a real estate marketing association. They collaborated in giving an upbeat look at the future for real estate in the city of Newark.
Be sure to ask Immediate Past President Mike Hannon which version of his many Rotary pins he wore for this presentation.
Let's all have some fun at this week's Schmoozefest!
