<div class="yiv7296338743gmail_default">Hi Everyone,</div>
<div class="yiv7296338743gmail_default"><br></div>
<div class="yiv7296338743gmail_default">Matt sent an email about the cleaning up the park and getting a few more picnic tables. Maybe you to felt gratitude- I know I did. Excellent work. Thank you Matt! Our park is a gem.<br></div>
<div class="yiv7296338743gmail_default"><br></div>
<div class="yiv7296338743gmail_default">Matt is bringing potential new members to our club. Regarding our meetings and new members; I would like to hear at each meeting what the committee's are doing. Briefly, of course. I am trying to listen from a newcomers perspective, and we have been talking fundraisers a lot recently, which I get it-- it's needed. It will make newcomers weary and cause them to run the other way. What I propose is that we work into each of our meetings our (and Rotary International's) six area's or focus:</div>
<div class="yiv7296338743gmail_default"><br></div>
<div class="yiv7296338743gmail_default">
<ul>
<li>Promoting Peace</li>
<li>Fighting Disease</li>
<li>Providing clean water, sanitation, and hygiene</li>
<li>Saving Mothers and Children</li>
<li>Supporting Education</li>
<li>Growing local economies</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="yiv7296338743gmail_default"><br></div>
<div class="yiv7296338743gmail_default">Whether it's local or international projects, and through our committee's- this is the heart of our club efforts. Can everyone from now forward preface what we share with our club, in the press, and in our community discussions with how it serves these areas of focus? This is how people get engaged with Rotary.</div>
<div class="yiv7296338743gmail_default"><br></div>
<div class="yiv7296338743gmail_default">John Cottle stood up last week to give an update about the upcoming Pedal for Polio. Thanks for your leadership and efforts! When we have guests or potential members, we want to be clear with a helpful intro to what the event or project is for. In this case- one of our six areas of focus.<strong> Area of Focus: Fighting Disease</strong></div>
<div class="yiv7296338743gmail_default"><br></div>
<div class="yiv7296338743gmail_default">We had a highly informative program from Marie Jones about the Mill Site and rezoning last week. How might that tie in with what we do? I had a few minutes to talk with her. Did you know she was unaware of Rotary Park?<br></div>
<div class="yiv7296338743gmail_default"><br></div>
<div class="yiv7296338743gmail_default">I haven't talked with Jody recently, but it's likely he's sent the number of 3rd grade students to the district so we can order dictionaries. We also do need to have leadership from our club attend and give guidance to the Interact Club. It was been 3 years since a club Rotarian attended. This would be ideal for a new member who lives or works in Mendocino. It's twice a month. Easy! <strong>Area of Focus: Education</strong></div>
<div class="yiv7296338743gmail_default"><br></div>
<div class="yiv7296338743gmail_default">I'll look forward to seeing everyone this week, and meeting Matt's guest Eric Lillybeck, and other guests!</div>
