At Our Most Recent Meeting...
...President Bob led a Club Assembly focused on a wide-ranging discussion about the future of the club. Topics included strategies for increasing member engagement, attracting new members, the cost of Rotary membership, and interest in participating in the Taunton Christmas Parade.
It was a great, free-flowing conversation that generated thoughtful ideas and energy, and it looks like there will be a part two to continue the discussion.
Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed their perspectives.
Jenn had a Happy Buck for a closing this morning with a young couple in Attleboro. Also happy to have Cam visiting today.
Sarah had a sad buck for being late, followed by happy bucks for spring and for celebrating 20 years with her girlfriend next week.
Carol Sou. had a Happy Buck that people think she is assertive when she tells kids at the Christmas party that she’s “the boss.”
Will had Happy bucks for the Interact Club, which now has three confirmed students attending RYLA this year. Our club sponsors this program and is proud to continue the tradition.
Ed was Happy to be reaching out to members regarding next year’s officers. Also shared sad dollars in memory of his friend Carl Caron, who recently passed away.
Mike T. was Happy to see Linda LeBrun and Jaden at church. Shared sad thoughts for Harry Rose’s wife, who is not doing as well as she had been, and asked for prayers for the family.
