PS - you don't have to give long answers.



NEW MEMBERSHIP DIRECTORY

 

Getting to Know the Women and Men of Mendocino Rotary

 

Dear Mendocino Rotarian:

Membership Chair Dean Watson and I are in the process of updating the member directory. In the past, our listings have been pretty sparse and the photos not all that flattering. We hope to change that with the 2014-15 update.

Our Plan

Besides the birthdays and anniversary information, we want to include the following:

-Use candid photos taken by Guenter at weekly meetings and events.

-Get to know each other better by sharing information about our passions and interests and involvement in the community outside Rotary.

-Add back the bylaws and new member process.

Please remember that the information provided is only shared among Mendocino Rotarians. If you feel uncomfortable with some questions, don’t answer them.  The questionnaire (except the basic information) is optional.

BUT, the more information you provide, the better we will get to know one another and recognize the talents and interests of members.

I have included my own information as a sample.
