Welcome Aboard Charlie - A Message from our New President

Posted on Jul 04, 2016

Hi Everyone,

This Thursday, July 7, will be the first club meeting of the new Rotary year. The committee chairs of the 5 Avenues of Service will be presenting the current idea of what projects will be done this year. I believe this is different than what has been done before.

The idea is for all of us to see what is going on and either buy into it or make suggestions. Another hoped for outcome is that SJEE club members will step up and volunteer to help the committees and even come up with a new idea he/she will implement.

From what I have been told, there will be more non-Rotarians in attendance than normal. If everyone with whom I chatted about membership shows up, there will be 5 potential members.

Please plan on attending the meeting. I will be starting it at 12:15 so arriving at 12 noon to socialize and get food would be helpful.

Let's start the year off with a big bang and grow the club's presence in the communities both local and internationally.

Yours In Rotary,

Charlie.
