First Committee Night for 2019/20
31 Members came along to the meeting on Thursday and there was some great discussion and planning done for the year ahead. Jane gave a powerpoint presentation on the Rotary Citation, something she sees as the minimum goals we should aim for this year and then separated out the goals into each of our committee areas. After the presentation, the committees then spent 20 mins or so discussing ideas and then briefly reported back to the group.
Some of these ideas include:
- Advertising RYLA so we can get applications in soon from the Community
- Creating a New Member brochure to give out to prospective members
- Developing an environmental project with the schools, similar to the very successful Kepler for Kids project
- Lots of ideas from the PR team on how to publicise our profile on social media, our website etc
- Produce Rotary Stories from our Club - put on our Website, You Tube etc
- Lots of talk about Rotary Fun Days - how to attract the public to an event; showcase what we do and attract new members
- Work with our local schools - find out their projects and see how Rotary can help - our Children are our Future!
- Ideas for working with other community groups
So lots of discussion and if you weren't there, please catch up with your Director and find out what your group has planned for the year and how you can contribute.
It was a very successful session; coming up with the ideas is a fantastic start and there were lots of great ideas - its going to be a busy, fun year!
Another session will be held at the end of October.
If you need any support, please talk to Jane - she is very keen to make things happen!!
