[Rotary] The President Elects Wish List

[Donna Schuler]

Dear fellow Rotarians,
March has been a long month, and having the extra Thursday without a
meeting has been helpful for me, and I hope for you also! I am finishing up
on some personal tax and work related business, but there are some Rotary
related affairs I need your help with before we get to mid April.
The top 2 issues at the moment are completing the Board and Committee Chair
positions for 2017-2018, and setting a date for the Board retreat to occur
in May. To simplify, I'll list what positions are filled, and what is still
needed. Then, I would like to hear from each of you- what is it you're
interested in achieving as a club for this coming year? If you are a phone
person, please call me at (707) 813-1656 or 964-0487.

*2017-2018  Mendocino Rotary Board of Directors*
President- Donna Schuler
Secretary- Heather Paulsen- She wants a replacement for the View and a
shadow for secretary for the future.
Treasurer- Harold- He wants a replacement for next year- needs someone to
shadow and learn the ropes this year.

*Committee Chairs*
*Community*
John Cottle with co-chair John Porter
*International*
Jeffry Stubbs with co-chair Matt O'Halloran
*Membership*
Sean Leland- Needs a co-chair
*Club Service*- NEEDs 2 co-chairs for meetings set-up and programs
*Youth Service*- NEEDs 2 co-chairs  Susan Keller, possibly?
*Rotary Park*
Jerry Karabensh with co-chair John Porter
*PR/PI* (Public Relations- Public Information)- NEED a chair, but all of us
are capable enough to write a newspaper piece or snapping a photo and
sharing via multiple media means.
*Rotary Foundation*
Gary Hopper
*Club Trainer*- NEED *New position- great for a Past President
*Club Historian*- Guenter
If I have misunderstood or missed a volunteer for a position, please let me
know right away.

*District Assembly:*
*Are you coming this Saturday to the District Assembly? I sure hope so*! It
will be fun, and it will ensure we have trained members to make the most of
our efforts this year. Gary and I just completed training to qualify for
District and International grants. *Who will train for Youth Service, Club
Service, Membership, and the Youth Exchange program*? If you are a new
member, or have never attended- they have a perfect Rotary University 1
strand. There are roundtable discussions for those who LOVE to talk, AND of
course they will be introducing on stage the President Elects (!), District
Governor Elect, and Assistants Governors and officers of the District. It's
all there at our District Assembly. Our club picks up the tab for you.

I was asked to turn in basic Club Goals by the District Assembly. I REALLY
need your help with this one, so please send me your ideas for all.
Our Club:
Total Membership Goal  #________
Foundation Giving:
Annual Fund     $_______
Polio Plus Fund $_______
Major Gifts and Endowment Fund
Major Gifts #_____
Bequest Society #_____
Benefactors #_____

I have to thank everyone I have talked with thus far! Your support and
guidance are immensely helpful. My goal is to speak with each of you prior
to the board retreat and prior to our Vision and Strategic planning
meetings.

One last thing- our speaker this coming Thursday is Justine Lemos, Phd. She
teaches Eastern Cultural college classes, is a professional dancer, yoga
instructor and teacher trainer, and owner of At One Yoga Studios' in Fort
Bragg. I am not certain, but I have a hunch she was a Mendocino Rotary
Scholarship winner. See you soon!
