July 30 - Turning Committees into Action Teams!
Speaker - Camille Ronzio
This is the first of our monthly “Club Focus” meetings, where we put a light on what our club does, who does it, and why! We will be covering the work our club does by various committees, but also making the change from Committees (boring) to our new definition, Action Teams! We are a club of action, that “Gets things done, while having fun!” This meeting will help us focus on the who/what/why, as well as hopefully filling a couple of newly vacated Board Positions. We will also be awarding our first Rotarian of the Month prize at this meeting, as well as talking about sourcing “Rotary Swag,” to help generate interest and pride in Rotary.

District Disaster Relief Fund Live Now!
As we are all aware, Forest Fire Season is upon us once again. Our District Leadership has put a new Disaster Relief Fun together to help areas (and clubs) hit by recent fires.
From our District Governor, Bruce Allen:
"Both Madras and Prineville areas in Oregon have become severe fire zones and the time to help is becoming imminent! The D5110 Disaster Relief Fund now has a QR code that has gone live for people who wish to donate. It can also be found on our District Website. Donate today!"
