I'm looking forward to our meeting this week -- it will be paw-some!

 

Our board meeting is Thursday morning at 7:30 this week. It's open to all club members. Let me know if you want to attend. Also, let me know if there are any issues we need to discuss. Our meeting minutes and financials are kept online in Clubrunner should you want to look at any of that information.

 

In case you didn't read my email earlier this week, I would like us to plan our meeting schedule (speakers and topics) through the end of this Rotary year. My reason for this is that it makes it easier to plan promotions and PR on social media which will, hopefully, help us get more members. That's a large task for Dan to take on by himself.  Would you please think about your contacts, friends of friends, and people you've heard of who would be great, interesting speakers? Then pass the contact information on to Dan. If possible, please "warm up" the contact by making sure he/she is willing, and let him/her know that Dan might be calling.

 

Most people in the Addison area don't know who we are and what we do. If they discover who we are and what we do, and understand the benefits of being a Rotarian, some of them will want to join us. That's why building out the schedule and doing PR around it is important.

 

Please remember that Fritzie is our point of contact for Maguires and the meeting room. Please work through her if you have any requests or issues.

 

We are making progress with our project to acquire chromebooks for the Anne Frank Elementary. They have asked that we amend the project slightly to help them provide language education. With each chromebook we will include a headset and a Rosetta Stone subscription. This will be a wonderful thing for them.
