Please give some thought to areas of club service that are of interest to you. Every member should serve on at least one committee. Newer members will be asked to serve on the Service Teams such as Greeter, Intoduction of Visitors and Guests and 50-50 as a start but should join another committee to get the most out of learning more about Rotary. Contact the Chair or any Officer to discuss questions. Committees are the lifeblood of our Club. Join today and get active.
The District Conference is right around the corner. DG Gary Fedorcha invites you to Gettysburg for the District 7430 Conference April 24-26, 2015. Details are on the District website directly or through our Club’s Website.
The Fun & Friendship committee has planned our Winter event, Bowl & Bites, at Revolutions on Rt. 378, Join the fun on Thursday, February 26th from 6 -8 p.m. The cost is only $15 and includes bowling, food and soft drinks. See Buck Jones to sign up. Bring family and friends. Last year’s event was very well attended.

This week, George Mowrer, Chair of the Rotary Foundation Committee, will talk to us about the Foundation, what it does, how it operates and how at the Club level we can utilize grants for global and local projects. There are many aspects to the Foundation including a Club goal that every member is at least a Paul Harris sustaining member, that is giving $100 or more annually to reach a $1000 total and become a Paul Harris Fellow. Funds we raise are also directed to the Polio Plus campaign.
WEATHER ALERT: Please check on meeting status due to weather conditions. If a cancelation is necessary we will post via email to the membership.
See you Wednesday, and until then, continue to Light Up Rotary.
Healthy clubs regularly ask themselves whether the benefits they offer match the expectations of their members. Is your club fun? Are members connecting, developing friendships, and finding rewarding service opportunities? At a recent training event for incoming leaders, Michael McQueen, a member of the Rotary Club of Crows Nest, New South Wales, Australia, spoke about why club leaders must be willing to try new things.
