Rotary Vision

The Rotary Vision process set up a President's Council to follow up and take action on the brainstorming ideas that came from the Visioning session.  The club slogan and elevator speech that Al emailed everyone was one of those pieces.  Thanks to those members who offered suggestions.

The next piece will be an annual club calendar.  The Council has created a draft of the calendar, which will be presented with the slogan and elevator speech, at the June Board meeting.

This Rotary year is rapidly coming to an end.  President-Elect Pete Centner is preparing his administration.  It will be a great year and if you are thining you'd like to be a bigger part of it, contact Pete or current President Mick Fiocchi to find out how your talents might be put to the greater use of Rhinelander Rotary.
