August 2019 - "Membership and New Club Development” month!

August is “Membership and New Club Development” month on the Rotary calendar. Our District Membership Committee, chaired by PDG Doug McDonald, is ready, willing and able to assist, support, answer questions or present a program. On my visits to date discussions of new or Satellite Clubs in various communities have been enthusiastic and informative. Reach out to our Membership Committee if you have ideas, questions or wish to be more involved in “Growing Rotary”.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my club visits and look forward to interacting with the rest of you. During August I get to see Placerville, Minden, South Lake Tahoe, Cap City Passport, Tahoe-Douglas, Passport to Amador, Plymouth Foothills, Georgetown Divide, Cameron Park, Grass Valley, Grass Valley South, Penn Valley, Nevada City 49er Breakfast, Nevada City, Susanville, and Susanville Sunrise, in that order. I have a question and answer session within each of my visits so think about what you want to ask. I look forward to each visit and every question.

As I’ve said, the team at the District stands ready to jump on the back of your bike to assist with anything we can to help this be the Best Year Yet! for your Club. Feel free to reach out if you have questions and they will be in touch with committee chairs to offer assistance and support.

Mark your calendar for the Avenues of Service (AOS) Seminar to be held September 28, at Truckee Meadows Community College. ROTARY DISTRICT 5190 Training Chair Karen McDonald, and AOS Co-Chairs DGE Roberta Pickett and Robin Milam have a fantastic day lined up.
