Club Assembly
On July 31st, President Amy Amundson gave Club Assembly. Staying away from looking at budget reports the assembly was a collective talk about what we can do to strengthen our club. Following the districts goal of 3000 members, our club’s main goal is to add membership. President Amundson asked all Rotarians to seek out their colleagues with like passions/interests and invite them to lunch, allowing them to see the great things we do in this community.
An update of the Rotary camp was discussed with the camp getting back into operating order. With the repairs to the culvert, deck and roof completed, the camp’s budget has seen a large blow. It is estimated that about $35,000 will need to be raised to get back on track at the camp. This highlighted the request by President Amundson for full participation in our annual fundraisers: Rose Sale and Cash raffle to keep our programs strong.
Within this new year President Amundson outlined some amazing goals to connect ourselves, community and highlight the impact we make around us. With a call for 100 acts of service from all club Rotarians to be shared and listed together. A club journal of the impact we have day in day out. Also, every 5th Wednesday of any month this year, we will meet in the evening at the INN, spouses are welcome to join. This allows those members who have trouble making meetings at noon a chance to connect regularly.
The message was simple and clear of the club assembly, notice all the little things we do and understand that they can grow into big impacts to others and our Faribault community.
