District 5810 District Governor Regina Edwards will be joining us this week. She is a member and past president of the Carrollton- Farmers Branch Rotary Club. She previously served three years as an assistant District Governor, many years as the District's International Service Chair, and 3 years on the District's Foundation Committee. She has been a Rotarian for 26 years and has taken over 20 international service trips to 6 countries.
DG Edwards earned a JD from Baylor University and has worked as an attorney for more than 30 years. She and husband Ken have 2 sons.
I enjoyed learning more about our new members Charlie Brown and Chris Freis last week. Thank you both for being willing to do that! We have amazing members!
The video is done! We will debut it this week in our meeting. Please note the following:
Bill Dendy, the District Foundation Chair, paid for this. I am hoping he can attend. It was WONDERFUL for him to sponsor this, and I am very grateful for his support.
Regina Edwards, our District Governor, will be attending our meeting, and I'm pleased that she will get to see the debut.
As with any video production, we shot more video than we would be able to use. I mention that because our video editor, Chris Levario, had to cut a fair amount to get the video to the goal of 30 seconds. That means there is a possibility that you are not in the video. Don't be offended. Chris had to make hard choices. Similarly, if you are in the video and don't like how you look, you'll have to take it up with your agent and the Screen Actors Guild :)
There was a meeting of our district's Presidents. One of the clubs has had good experience with membership growth by attending networking events: chamber of commerce, BNI, etc. That's a great idea! If any of you are members of the Metrocrest Chamber of Commerce or other networking groups, I'd like to talk with you about getting our name in front of that group.
I'm looking forward to seeing you in person Friday! As John Gilchrist used to say, "the best way to start your weekend is with the Addison Rotary!"
