Rotary is an intimate affiliation of carefully
selected business and professional people,
having as its objective the promotion of
high ethical standards in private,
commercial and civic life, and dedicated
to the ideal that the basis of all
worthy endeavor is unselfish service.
Rotary Induction Rite
Rotary International is the oldest, and one of the largest service clubs in the world.
Rotary Club members are part of a diverse group of professional leaders working to address various community and international service needs. Through community service and other means, Rotary Club members help promote peace and understanding throughout the world.
Rotary Induction Rite
Members are a club's most important asset. They are the force that allows Rotary to carry out its many humanitarian efforts and achieve its mission.
Rotary membership is by invitation of local clubs. At last week's meeting, the Bay City Noon Rotary membership gathered around tables for a brainstorming session to discuss potential new members.
Membership Chairman Pete Shannon reported that his committee has reviewed the names. After removing duplicates, a consolidated list was developed. At the next meeting members will be asked to review the list and identify prospects that they will invite to a meeting during May, the club's membership month.
Anyone living or working in the Bay City area who would like to be considered for membership in the Bay City club is invited to contact any club member for more information.
For information on membership in any Rotary club, visit www.Rotary.org and complete a Prospective Member Contact form on the "About Us" page. Rotary International (RI) will forward your information to clubs in your area.
For full membership information visit www.rotarybaycity.org.
CLUB NEWS and ANNOUNCEMENTS
Ed Keating receives PH+2
Brenda Scramlin, along with Rob Clark and Bob Chadwick, continue to accept nominations for the annual Rotary Outstanding Service and Excellence (ROSE) award. If you wish to nominate someone, please let Brenda know by May 1. The award will be presented at a special meeting on May 29. That meeting will also celebrate 30 years of Women in Rotary. Rob will tell the story of how Women came to be members and what that has meant to the organization.
The RI President charged clubs to plant trees this year. President-Elect Harvey Schneider, who chairs this effort for the club, and the club board have decided that we will fund the professional planting of two saplings. One will be in the Arboretum and the other in Rotary Park.
The Doubletree has made a decision that for people not eating lunch there will be a $4 charge for soft drinks. This can be paid at the front table on entry. Water will continue to be free.
Next summer's International Convention will be in Toronto, an easy trip for many of us. Be sure you sign up with her to attend this life-changing Rotary experience. The fee for that event will go up by $80 on the first of April. If you plan to go the time to make your reservation is now.
