Help Us Set Committees for the Current Rotary Year
Have you Replied Yet?
Since COVID, the club has struggled to get back to a clear determination of member participation. For years, members were asked to serve on at least one committee (preferably two or three), and to participate in what those committees do. The board is currently working on getting a comprehensive list together for all our committees, as well as establishing possible “co-chairs” for each of these committees.
We are busy with active lives outside of Rotary, and it is important to have people in place when one of us is unable to do what is required of the committee, whether it be personal commitments, health issues, or vacations.
We are asking our members to reach out to either Patric Miller or Travis Misfeldt so we can get things in order soon!
Patric can be reached at: patricjmiller@gmail.com
Travis can be reached at: travismisfeldt@zoho.com
