Club Assembly Sets Goals for Year President Rick Davis presided over his first Club Assembly of the year at Tuesday’s meeting. Each of the Committee Chairpersons present shared some of their plans for the coming year. Here are some highlights: Programs/Jerry Cummings: No assigned dates for members this year, but please make suggestions about speakers to Jerry. TRF/Bill Highley: Club goals for the year include: 100% of members as Double Sustainers, $12,500 in contributions to TRF; 5 new Paul Harris Fellows, $3,000 for Polio Plus. A Paul Harris Dinner will be planned for May. Social/Judy Armstrong: One big social next Spring, with several (monthly?) smaller, family-friendly events throughout the year. International Services/Ravi: We will continue working on our Digital Villages project, inviting other Area 8 clubs to join us; possibly a trip to India in January.

Community Service/Neil Jacobson: Looking forward to at least 2 hands-on local projects in Campbell. One in September, the other as part of Rotarians @ Work Day in the Spring.

Youth Service/Janine Payton: Continue to work with RYLA, the student speech contest and looking for things to help with at EMQ. Note: Day @ The A’s tickets proceeds go to support RYLA.

Vocational Service/Sue Klear: Look for 5 minute talks from members about their businesses and to become more involved with schools and the community. Fundraising/Bill Ellington:Looking for new ideas for food to sell at Boogie on the Bayou, Octoberfest and Carol of Lights. Also, a signature event is in the works.

Membership/Carol Middione: Focus on Recruitment and Retention with an eye to adding 6 or 7 new members this coming year.

Public Relations/Dave Crowley: Will focus on our invited speakers as a tool to invite guests as well as gain publicity, and to get the word out about all of our special events. We Care/Kit Whitney: Will continue to remember members at their birthdays, and other special events as well as in times of ill health and sorrow.

Serving Meals Helps Servers, too

Make plans to join us next Monday, August 10th at 4:30 at the James Boccardo Facility at the Emergency Housing Consortium’s campus on Little Orchard Dr., just North of Curtner Ave. near “The Plant” shopping center to serve dinner to over 100 people who are currently down on their luck. It will help them and make you feel great, too!
