Next President Keith Peers took to the podium to introduce his new board. His year does not have a theme but the message from the next International Rotary President is " Unite for Good". ( the meaning of 'good' is to ' do good'). Here is the Motley Cru. President Elect : TBD Past Pres: Paul M. Secretary: Ann-Marie A. Treasurer and Curler extra-ordinaire: Tom Everett. Foundation Chair: Todd Lyons. Membership: Paul T. Cody Community Service: Tracy D. Vocational: Lina V. International: Rob Cox. Fund Raising Chair: Randy Cole. Tech Guru: Mr Starlink himself, Brian Waddell. Keith spoke of some of his ideas. Maybe develop a 3 year plan to help with continuity. He would like to grow the membership and do projects that are supported by District Grants. ( money that comes back from Rotary Foundation if we raise the other half of the funding for a particular project.) Keith is visiting other regional clubs to see their particular Modus Operandi. Hey, some clubs don't even do a Bulletin!! Then somehow, Todd took the floor and spoke of the Anniversary Committee's ideas to the present. Maybe a big bash at the Gaslight District maybe a bit over the top. So another idea is a tree planting project in cooperation with Rare. That way people could remember us when the trees are big and old. Jim Johnson said Rotary Clubs in other countries behave differently. Political talk is Verboten! Some do not fund raise but just get out the cheque book. As a long range idea, Keith's vision is that of a Rotary House that would help traumatized children, or Veterans in need. Where would we start? Todd took to the floor again. What do you call a Dinosaur with a large Vocabulary??? A Thesaurus. Welcome to Spring. Have a good week. See you at Boots and Bands. |
