Membership Minute

Gary Frey from the District 6560 Membership Committee joined us today for our regular meeting.  We also have visiting Rotarian TR Jacks from the Avon club joining us as well.  Neal Pearcy gave a pin for bringing in a new member to Ron B. for sponsoring Bill Barfield.

When Gary took the floor, he shared with us his Rotary story.  Gary's path is one that lead to Rotary.   His expierence with Carmel Fun Fest (Rotary Sponsored Event) lead him to finding a group that could offer supprot in his life.  Gary went on to suggest that asking someone to join the club is the best way to encourage someone to sign up.  The best line that I took from Gary was, "You could really add something to our organization!", when asking someone to visit our club.  One of the last things that Gary memtioned was that he thought that our club was very FUN!!!! and it is Fun.  Lets ask others to join in on the FUN!.  Coming off of Gary's talk, please make an effort to ask someone to join us this week for Rotary.

Saturday, I had fun at the Rotary Leadership Institute.  Past DG Nancy Madru was one of the leaders of several discussions about Rotary and the Foundation.  We had Rotarians that had been members from 3 months and some that had been members for 55 years.  Everybody was there to learn about Rotary and share in the fellowship.


 Seth "The Commissioner" Cromer,  is comfortable in his masculinity with using a PINK laptop to input Rotary Teams picks for Fantasy Football.  12 Rotarians joined in on the fun last night.  The Four Way Test was no where to be found.... It was all for one last night.  We might be friends on Thursday, but NOT during Draft.  Smash talking and Wine might lead to some regrets when the season starts.  We will try to give a weekly update at our regular meetings.

This weeks program host is Ron Monts.  Please make an effort to ask someone that you think will make a good Rotarian to join us this week.
