Last Wednesday we had our “Club Assembly”. This is an important date in the Rotary calendar as the new leadership team presented the club with their plans and ambitions for the year (our year runs from 1 July to 30 June). Amongst the things we’ll be doing will be:
· Eradicating polio
In February 2010, we’ll be supporting Rotary’s “Thanks for Life Week” (21-27 February 2010) which will culminate in a gala event (for the whole of the UK) to which Bill Gates has been invited. We’ll be working to raise the profile of our work in PolioPlus and raise funds towards Rotary’s commitment to match the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation donation. Within our club we’ll be planning a specific event for this week.
· Advancing the recognition and public image of Rotary
We’ll be increasing our efforts to make us more visible in the community. We’re updating our website and working with our local press connections.
· Expanding/using Rotary's unique vocational service commitments
We shall be maintaining our fine programme of work, run by Rotarians using their own talents, with young people through Rotary’s Youth Speaks competition, working with schools on improving Literacy, helping budding school leavers with Mock Interviews and running a Photography competition for schools. We will also be maintaining our work in our local community through our Stroke Awareness campaign and by providing transport for Seniors.
We’ll be searching out a flagship project internationally in one of Rotary’s key target areas of Water, Health & Hunger .
- Membership
We’re targeting to increase the membership of our club by 10% during this coming year
During the year I’ll be giving updates on what we’re doing and how we’re getting on.
