Please Note-Club Visioning Session on Thursday 10 Nov Replacing Friday 11 Nov Meeting

Back by popular request is Club Visioning. This fast paced four hour workshop is an investment in the continued health and vitality of our Rotary Club. This Rotary "best practice" session will be facilitated by D6270 Rotarians PDG Tamie Koop, AG Steve Affeldt and past Membership Chair Lee Prellwitz. We will conduct this at MATC North starting at 5:00pm and running until 9:00pm (yes if we are organized and serious we could conclude earlier than that). Food and beverages (non-alcoholic) will be provided since this will act as a replacement for our regular Friday meeting.

In order for this to a successful and beneficial investment of our and our facilitator’s time we ask all members active and even those on LOA to complete the RVQ (Rotary Visioning Questionnaire) survey. This is a comprehensive survey that is more impactful when all members complete it. It is only used by the facilitation team to know areas that may require more attention and then shared with President Lucia and PE Cindy to get a better understanding of the member’s views. I will be sending the RVQ out on 10 Oct and will need them ideally completed by 21 Oct.

We realize that 100% participation on 10 Nov is not possible. But we do know that there are many members who will make the commitment to participate and be an integral part of the important task of shaping our club’s future. We ask that all Officers and Avenue of Service Chairs be part of this session. We also encourage as many new and long term members as possible to participate. This is where new ideas can be shared without the stigma of hearing “oh we have already tried that and it didn’t work” being said. So bring an open mind and the spirit of collaboration and let’s see where it takes us.

Please direct any questions to Brian Monroe monroe.earthbound@gmail.com or 414.881.6901. I’ll also request a headcount and any dietary requirements for the food order.

Thanks,

Brian Monroe
