Google Documents/Club Activities

We are continuing to expand the use of Google Docs in collaborating on club activities.  Board and general membership notes, agendas, project bulletins and the development of the strategic plan are being done through the site.

As an example of the online colloboration that we can do through Google Docs, follow this link to review the final report on the LiA Bazar Expanison Project that was completed earlier this summer.  Using this approach we can share information in a central place and not have to meet.  Saves time and money!

 
Please see me if you need help in setting up a Google account.  Especially project managers as the board will be looking for project details as posted in each project’s folder.

Networking:  Please send me the names/emails/those roles of Rotary members who you know in other clubs.  People who might be interested in learning more and possibly participating in our projects.

Please contact me at any time with questions/comments about projects.
