Last week’s Club Assembly: All committee chairs gave reports on current and future projects benefitting the local and international communities. The various duties of the Club Service committee were outlined. Membership committee goals, including ways to retain current members and recruitment of new members were discussed. The Youth services chair spoke on the outbound and inbound Rotary Youth Exchange program, Rotary Youth leadership Award (RYLA) and the many other youth projects Sunup Rotary supports. The communications committee will inform the public through the various forms of the media about the clubs local, international projects, and donations. The Rotary Vocational Fund of Arizona, funded by Rotary International, provides funds to certified employers to train eligible individuals in various trades.
After listening to the committee chairs at the last meeting I believe we have some excellent projects, and a fun year ahead of us. I look forward to everyone's participation in these events and the comaraderie that is Sunup Rotary. Next week we have DG David Simmer speaking to us, I look forward to hearing what he has to say.
