Club Meeting January 6
SPECIAL NOTE: This is a special
appeal to every member to make
every effort to attend and
participate in Wednesday
morning’s meeting.
We have had some very
significant successes during the
past year, and we want to review
those and talk about ways in
which we can benefit from them.
In particular, I would point to
our Fall Into Fitness event,
which really served to
underscore a great relationship
with a true community partner,
CCBC. We managed to hit our
sponsorship and budget goals,
even though we fell somewhat
short in our runner
participation goals, and have a
great base on which to build
future events. Also, our recent
community – wide gathering of
leaders at Rolling Road Golf
Club, just a month ago, was a
huge success in building
credibility and respect for our
organization.
However, we have also suffered
from a rather significant loss
of membership, and a loss of
leadership with some recent
resignations. Our recruiting
efforts have not been very
successful lately. We have some
leadership vacancies, and that
makes it that much more
difficult to get things done.
This club belongs to every
single member, and every opinion
is critical. This is no more my
club than it is yours. If you
can possibly make this meeting,
it could be a very valuable time
of open and frank discussion.
It’s fairly easy to talk about
what someone else ought to do,
but I would particularly
encourage each of you to talk
about what YOU would like to do.
Chances are pretty good that
there are others who might feel
the same way. Even though our
numbers are down, we can
compensate if we want to by
raising the percentage of ACTIVE
members.

Rotary District Relief Efforts
for Haiti: Our District 7620 is
holding a conference call this
Wednesday, Jan. 20th, from 6:30
– 7:30 pm to discuss
1) Fund raising goals, immediate
and long range ; 2) Where do we
send the money we raise?; 3) How
do we maximize our fund raising
and PR efforts? and 4) Do we
want to assist in other ways,
like volunteering in country? I
would appreciate it if a member
would be willing to participate
in this call on behalf of our
club. If you can do this, please
let me know and I will give you
the relevant information
regarding the call.
One of the options is to send
the funds directly to the
Rotary’s Disaster Relief Rotary
Action Group (DRRAG). This is a
standing committee that
coordinates Rotary’s Disaster
Relief efforts. They already
have an excellent website up (www.drrag.org/
) with up to the minute
information on what Rotary is
doing in Haiti on a number of
fronts, including Shelterbox
operations (930 units already
shipped, 1,000 more being packed
and shipped for free from the UK
by Virgin Airways.)
