ROTARY MINUTE
Get your timers ready and set for 60-seconds....It's August and the Rotary theme for the month is:  Membership & New Club Development Month.  And while we're not a "new" club, we are one aiming to work on development and boosting membership --both in morale & roster numbers.  
 
So, it would behoove our club members to be up on Rotary International's latest policies & procedures.  Click on these attachments:  2016 Council on Legislation Updates / 2016 COL - Essential Changes for Clubs.   Please pay particular attention to: "Flexibility in meeting frequency, format, and attendance."
