Rotary Thought with Julie Cugalj
Julie spoke of Rotary International's recent member survey, which was featured in the August Rotary Magazine. It found that friendship and community engagement were two of the primary reasons that people joined and stayed in Rotary.
The report highlighted the importance of getting members engaged in committees and activities and that we all have a responsibility to ourselves, the club an our community. Julie remarked that our upcoming golf tournament is a good opportunity for everyone to get involved and help make it a tremendous success.
We didn't have a speaker for today's meeting so President-elect Kateri chaired a group discussion on club speakers. Many great ideas were raised regarding specific speakers, potential topics, thoughts on a series or themes for speakers. It was an involved and enjoyable discussion with great participation.
Happy Bucks
Everyone shared their happy news, which typically involved family... go figure.
