January 27, 2010 Notes from Emee Fellow Rotarians, It's membership time. January 28th 's meeting team members need to sit together for lunch. Bring a yellow book if you have one and brainstorm business addresses in the area. We are starting our membership campaign race in February. Last week in my "notes from Emee" I attached a schedule of members and the teams everyone is on. To date, Nikki Hutchinson has volunteered to Captain Team C. Needed at this time are Captains for teams A and B. Please step up to the plate. It's not a time consuming job rather a motivational job. Teams need to collect names of area businesses to be sent invitations to lunch. Membership lunches will be held on the last Thursday of the months of February, March and April. Please try to bring some names tomorrow to the meeting. If you would like, send me the information via email. Invitations need to be mailed in the next week and 1/2. A membership data base is being created for the campaign. We are a "small mighty" club unfortunately the "small" is getting smaller. For those of you unable to make last week's meeting, members present voted to send via Rotary International $200.00 for Haiti relief. That's a bit of the "mighty" of South Gateway. Keeping our "mighty" is important, so in that effort please remember the three-club (3) auction being held in April. Each member is responsible for attending and donating an item worth bidding. In the event members are unable to attend, a donation of $60.00 needs to be made and an item needs to be donated. The more the merrier, so bring friends and families too. See you at the paddock. Notes from Emee Fellow Rotarians, Wow...this week flew by. It's 9;30 P.M. and I am just sitting down to write you all. At the meeting tomorrow we will discuss a new membership campaign that is being formed. In essence our club will be divided into 3 teams. Each team will be able to provide names of businesses on the south side. These companies will be sent a letter with an invitation to join us for lunch on the last Thursday in the months of Feb., March and April. If one of the businesses responds from your team that team receives 5 points. Should a response become a member the team receives 10 points. In May the team with the most points wins a prize, The prize still needs to be determined. I have attached a roster of the teams (see link below). At this point each team needs a Captain. The Captain would be the spirit leader for the team. Getting your team to submit names and addresses to a wonderful South Gateway Rotarian who will get the letters printed and mailed (looking for a wonderful SGR to volunteer here) Beginning in February the last Thursday of the month will become "membership" lunch. Hoping that area businesses will respond and learn about the "small but mighty" South Gateway Rotary. Notes from Emee Fellow Rotarians, It’s nice to be back in the routine of weekly meetings. Our first meeting of the new decade was, as always informative but the speaker from Custom Computer Services came with prizes which made it even more fun. Congratulations to all the members who walked home with a prize.
With the New Year comes preparation for our second Rotarian Club auction. We have been invited to participate with Roseland and Edison Lake clubs on April 12th. Jerry Hunt will be donating his time as the auctioneer, as he did last year. The rest of our club is responsible for attending the event and donating desirable items for the auction.
On the agenda for the board meeting tomorrow will be the auction. If you want to give your opinion about the membership’s requirements for the fundraiser, please plan to attend. The meeting is very short, sweet and to the point.
I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow. In Rotary,
January 14 Duty Roster
