May 1st Club Assembly by President Colleen Dolan-Greene



Detroit Rotary's Club Assembly

Hope to see y'all at our Club Assembly this Wednesday! This will be your opportunity to share your best ideas for Detroit Rotary's future projects, fun and fund-raising events and membership recruitment and retention ideas. In this issue of Rotoscope you will find a list of projects funded by our own Detroit Rotary Foundation to remind you of the projects we supported during the 2012-2013 Rotary year.

We will start be reviewing our Club's vision and mission statements developed in the Fall of 2009 during our Future Visioning exercises. You can read both of them in this Rotoscope. Do they sound like our Rotary Club? If not, what needs to be changed?

PE Margaret Williamson will share feedback from the membership survey we completed in January. In addition to our Club's survey results, PE Margaret will share how our results compare to other Clubs in our Rotary District 6400 and to other clubs who participated in the Multi-District President-Elect Training (PETs) that she attended.

The bulk of the meeting will be your opportunity to share your personal ideas of Rotary projects, events and membership ideas that stir your passions. A portion of future meetings will be devoted to refining these lists to decide on our Club's priorities for the future.

Please come to our Club Assembly on Wednesday, May 1, and be prepared to throw your ideas into the hopper to create the premier humanitarian service club in the region!

Peace Through Service,
Colleen Dolan-Greene
Detroit Rotary President 2012-2013
