At our July 10 meeting, President Connie passed out the 2023/2024 Goals to the members. She asked that each table discuss the page of goals they were given and share thoughts with the larger members in 30 minutes. (See Read More for document).
President Connie collected the sheets back from the tables with comments that she will summarize. Some of the highlights were:
- For International, encourage members while traveling to visit local Rotary Clubs – get credit as a make up meeting but more important to meet and share with Rotarians around the world
- Continue Rotaract and Interact and identify “host” members when families are visiting in the area.
- Website will be updated 1-2 times a week, so share pictures/stories etc. with Keith
- Looking to write (4) stories per year about the Rotary Club good as publicizing and attracting new members with similar passions.
- Work on additional promotional materials
- As a part of Literacy & Education, how we better publicize what we do with Dolly Pardon Imagination Library project
- More focus on Vocational Interests / Rotary Fellowship activities
- As a part of Social Activity – partner with the sports teams in the area as a way to get to know students and their parents
- Connect with local businesses – Get them involved as speakers. Listen and find ways to get guest involved, additional membership opportunities.
