Club
Assembly Sept. 6, 2007
Message
from our President:
At our monthly Club Assembly Thursday, we approved the
revised District 7150 Bylaws following a brief discussion. The revised
Bylaws will be proposed at the September 28-30, 2007 District Conference.
Those
in attendance also discussed the need for additional fund-raising. As
Treasurer Toni Feldman has explained, with our goal of having weekly programs
has come the expense of paying for breakfast for the speakers. We had hoped that [having weekly
programs] would increase our membership and attendance. Toni has done a
great job achieving this goal. However, one member is now not responsible
for buying the speaker breakfast a cost now paid for by the club. This
has increased our operating expenses.
We brainstormed several fund-raising ideas including a
raffle such as the evening club’s “Queen’s Pot” or a duck race. Because
at the present time members felt that we don’t have enough members to sustain
another fundraiser, a motion was introduced and passed to increase the dues by
$5.00 per payment ($10.00 a
year).
John Paddock spoke briefly about Winterfest. He
emphasized that there was great enthusiasm for the event. While we will
need to work over the next few months to shore up programs, John reminded the
group that the most important thing is to continue seeking sponsorships since
that is our primary source of fund-raising for the event and, ultimately, the
year.

Rotary
Timeline – 1910
At the 1911 convention in Portland, Oregon, USA, Chesley
R. Perry, Rotary’s first general secretary, reads a speech containing the
phrase “He profits most who serves best.” Later, Rotarians also begin to use
the phrase “Service, not self.”
These slogans form the roots of both of the official
Rotary mottoes: Service Above Self, and He Profits Most Who Serves Best. The
National Rotarian magazine (later, The Rotarian) is launched, with Perry
serving as editor. Rotary begins to cross the Atlantic, and within two years
there are clubs in Great Britain and Ireland.
