Getting Ready for August –
Rotary’s Membership Month and

Enhancing Your Engagement

1 of Jennifer Jones's 4 Action Initiatives

RI President Jennifer Jones “imagines” a Rotary where members act to make their dreams reality and get the most out of their club experiences by...

(1) taking a participant-centered approach - making sure you, our guests and our partners know that what everyone brings to Rotary is valued.

(2) looking at ways to measure your engagement and satisfaction to better understand what you are getting out of your Rotary experience.

At our July 28 board meeting and also at our August 2 Club Assembly, we'll be discussing what you "Imagine" and what you'd like to do an accomplish this year. This is your club. It's never too late to send additional ideas to Jessica at jdharbar@comcast.net.

In addition, Jennifer urges us to take care of each other. Lee Weed and Karyn Lang are our club’s “Sunshine Committee” co-chairs. Please let them know if you or someone in our club needs a bit of sunshine, a note of encouragement, a note of care and or a note to recognize or congratulate them on something special.
