Why do you belong to this club? • Community focus with Rotary application • Fellowship • Meeting people in a “non-work” environment • Guest speakers – increasing knowledge about vocations and other topics of interest • Gain knowledge of the community • Networking Potential
Structure of Board – from six members to four members • President • Past president • President elect • Secretary • Committee chairs – idea is to have a different chair at each board meeting (rotational) and report on planning and activities • Treasurer is optional – except when presenting reports, etc.
Club Foundation • We need better communication between the Foundation and the Club, • so we can work more in concert with each other
Committees – from seven to four • Community Service • Scholarships • Service projects • Public relations/image in community • Fundraising • Vocational • Membership • Vocational awards • Vocational talks as program • Youth outreach – (Junior Achievement) • International • Youth exchange • World community projects • Clean drinking water • Rotaract • Club Service • Programs and speakers • Hospitality • Fellowships • Sunshine • Budget / board service / treasury
Grander Vision • Do we want there to be something we do in the community that establishes our identity? • Club foundation and club have mutual goals but there is a need for more communication • Fellowships – should we have evening meetings once a month or quarter? • New mantra for 13/14 – “engage Rotary; change lives”
Project Ideas – how many? • Hands-on service • Wetlands / planting • Salvation Army bell ringing • Miller Woods • Henderson House • Soup Kitchen • Others ? • Four projects sound good and manageable? • Fundraising • Winter flower baskets • Film festival • Crab feed • Blueberries • Wine raffle • Others ? • Two projects sound good and manageable?
Projects, continued. • Projects that don’t require funding • Projects that require time and/or talent • Need to have balance between fund raising and “feel good” projects
Reconciliation Vision Belonging Community focus with Rotary application Fellowship Meeting people in a “non-work” environment Guest speakers – increasing knowledge about vocations and other topics of interest Gain knowledge of the community Networking Potential • Youth and education – scholarships, JA • Environment – Miller Woods • International – commitments to Rotary International • Community needs as an “umbrella” – soup kitchen, etc.
Resiliency • Playful childlike curiosity • Constantly learning from experience • Adapt quickly • Have solid self-esteem • Have self-confidence • Express feelings honestly (and respectfully) • Have empathy • Have a talent for serendipity
Conclusion • We have identified: • Why one belongs to the club. • The need for a smaller board and fewer committees (for sustainable governance in the future) • Now we need to establish our goals: • Fund raising • Hands-on projects • How often and how many • Saying NO to projects that are outside our parameters
Focus • Where would you like to spend time for our projects? • Need to come back with ideas so we can finalize and move forward
Can we reconcile our focus and mission and hit the target? Make McMinnville a better place in which to live and work, and have fun doing it.
