Continued discussion from
the Directional Statements
that we achieved a couple
weeks ago.
Themes
of the Youth, Environment,
Literacy, Health in our
community.
That
leads us next in the
direction of fundraising &
recruiting.
Membership Chair Blake spoke
for a few moments,
reiterating from an earlier
email, the importance of our
membership. Target from the
Visioning Sessions earlier
in the year is to reach 50
members, 5 years from now.
We are
currently at 29 active
members & 3 on leave of
absence (Dave VK, Harry
Verhey & Stephen Hook).
Retention was also
discussed, as equally
important to our numbers.
DIRECTION:
We will
grow to 50 active members
over the next 5 years.
We will
continue to engage in the
retention of our members.
A
Friends of Rotary group will
be created.
DIRECTION:
We will continue the
fundraisers that have been
established.
-
Mardi Gras party &
auction
-
Roses for Rotary
campaign
-
Bingos
We will
select a Signature Fund
raising event. Ribfest is
first on that list, with the
expertise of the Jenkins who
have indicated interest in
becoming members with us.

Following the meeting, Matt
forwarded some information
to be circulated for our
Membership. Please take a
few moments & look at our
involvements. Dates, place,
etc have not at all been
finalized.
Take a
look at the Jenkins’ website
www.blazinbbq.ca. There
are also many other Rotary
Ribfest sites that will
offer general knowledge of
Ribfests. The easiest way is
to Google Rotary Ribfest.
Matt
has shared a Task List with
the Board. We look forward
to planning to start right
away. The Jenkins have
contacts with Burlington
Rotary members who’ve
offered to come to see us as
well.
