Fellow Rotarians:
Our monthly board meeting took place last
Tuesday, October 13th. Some highlights are as
follows.
Treasurer Lynn Mosier reported that the
club balance sheet shows $10,807 owed by Las Vegas
Northwest Rotary Foundation to the club. Since
this money is not expected to be repaid, Lynn is
considering steps to remove it from our books.
Membership Committee Chair Jerry Sligar
reported that he is compiling a classification list
specific to our club. This will be used in our
member recruitment efforts. For member retention,
Jerry is continuing to follow up with members who have
not been attending our club meetings.
Lynn Mosier reported on the status of the
raffle for 100 bottles of wine. Wine is being
collected from members and tickets to sell will be
available by the first week in November. The wine
raffle committee will consider having three winners
rather than awarding all 100 bottles to one winner.
Various aspects of fundraising were
discussed. I repeated the thought that it is a
good idea for us to support the fundraising efforts of
other clubs, such as the North Las Vegas club's dinner
on October 24th. Judith Filangeri proposed that we
consider using some club funds to help members to attend
such events, but this proposal was not voted upon.
Several
board members endorsed the idea that we should do
more hands-on community service projects such as helping
with the proposed Miracle Ball Field. An
item has been placed in the newsletter (see Rotary
Information: Hands On Service Projects Sought) asking
for ideas for such projects.
Also, we are nearly out of banners and an
order has been placed for 50 banners of the present
design. President Elect Diane Cabral has been
appointed to be our Club Awards Chair. District
Governor Tom Novotny will be visiting our club on
November 10th.
Our Annual Meeting will be on November
17th for the purpose of electing club officers for the
next Rotary year. Diane Cabral will head the
nominating committee.
Santa Clothes will take place on December
3rd Our club board is recommending to our
foundation that we sponsor ten children for this event
again this year.
Service above self by all of our members
will help us to reach our goals. In this way "The
Future of Rotary is in Your
Hands."
Kideract Update - Guy
tells us the Kideract schedule is starting with Lynn
& Richard Peterson presenting on the meaning of
Rotary.
LVNW Club Awards Chair
- Diane C. has agreed to serve as Club
Awards Chair. She will be responsible for assuring
that awards submissions for District 5300 awards are
made timely by the respective committee chairs.
