Dear Fellow Rotarians: 
 
As Ken’s year comes to a close and my year starts I wanted to circulate my list of committees, committee chairs and members.  My goal was to get everyone involved in the club.  I attempted to retain continuity in committee leadership and membership while making some changes.  If any of your committee assignments give you heartburn please let me know right away.  I have talked to most of my committee chairs but not all of them so I apologize for being presumptive relative to some committee chairs.
 
What I would ask is that all committees meet before the end of July to establish at least one committee goal for the year along with the specific means of achieving that goal or those goals.  Our committee structure is the way to make sure that all members are engaged and by each committee setting a goal and developing a plan for meeting that goal I hope to insure a vibrant year driven in large part by all of our members. 
 
Please note that the finance committee and strategic planning committee are not permanent committees but are designed to look at a specific task or two and then they will be finished.
 
Please let me know when you have scheduled your meeting (auction is exempt since we know its goal) between now and July 31 in case I would like to attend.  Please set your goal(s) by the end of July.
 
I want to thank each and every one of you for your anticipated hard work and dedication to Rotary for the upcoming year.
 
I also wanted to take the anticipation of the Sergeant at Arms selection.  I, like Ken, have decided to go with SAA by committee.  Having been the single SAA many times I know how hard it is to do it week in and week out so I have asked a group to do that job with Joe Moreshead being the head Sergeant for scheduling purposes. 
 
I truly look forward to a fun year. 
Thanks Bill
