Board
member reports were the order of the day on Monday, August 14, 2017.
Foundation Chair Dave Prisbrey spoke on how
donations to RI “come back to us in 3 years.He also explained the concept of EREY and encouraged members to support
the RI Foundation.
Secretary and PI
Chair Linda Sappington asked each member to review his/her bio on the club
website and update as needed.She also
indicated Brandon Staples will be assuming some responsibility for keeping the
website current and for expanding our social media presence. In her role as PI chair, Linda noted the more
involved in “service above self” our club is, the more opportunities to “say
Rotary” in our club and community.
Grant
Carter, Membership Chair, shared some thoughts from the book “How We Decide”
noting Rotary is famous for comradry and an environment where friendships can grow,
but most members don’t know enough about RI to be able to share their knowledge
with others. “We are missing members who
either don’t attend or who have left our association,” he noted.“Imagine all the good we could do if everyone
took part.”
PEN Brandon Staples spoke on
how to get the word out about all the good Rotary does in the world. He encouraged members to get in the habit of
posting pictures on social media … of club activities, club socials, and provide
Rotary marketing materials and display the 4-Way Test in our offices.
In
the interest of time, President Rulon and PE Lynn Beecher will report at
another upcoming meeting.
