For our monthly Business meeting, the attendance was very light: 14 Rotarians, no guests! The above photo gives us the message: Rotary is about Attendance! We need to see CLK Rotarians weekly on Wednesday at the Irish Times. We all find times we cannot attend however the non-attendance needs to be the exception. So, please dedicate yourselves to look at your work calendar and try to set an appointment every Wednesday at 11:45 – 1: 15 to attend your Rotary Club meeting. We would love to see you there.
June birthdays: Sue Dana, Joe Enrietti, Don Kilpela, Jim Lowrie, Sandy Huuki and Tom Scanlon. Capt Don and Joe share the same birth date. A lusty song was rendered for the usual price.
Speaking of attendance, for the past month it was 58%; this can and should be improved. The moth did have some perfect attendees: Capt Don, Steve D, Phil S, Jim Lowell, Pete V and Dan D.
Tips on making up a meeting: attend Houghton (Thursday noon at Franklin Sq Inn) or Hancock (Monday noon at the Ramada Inn) or you can also make up at www.rotaryeclubone.org
President Jim announced the June programs: June 9 will be Shawn Oppliger, June 16 will be our Scholarship award recipients, and June 23 is Portage Health organ donation program.
Club Finances: checkbook balance of $7572.21 and Savings of $4208.39 and all approved expenses have been paid. Joel estimated the Spaghetti Dinner netted the club approx $1,200.
Scholarship committee has chosen a CLK student and LL/Hubbell student. We expect to meet them at a noon meeting on Wed June 16.
Tamburitzans: Tickets are ready to sell. All CLK Rotary members need to be active in this project. The reality is the more tickets we (You and I) sell the more money the club makes. Selling 500 tickets nets us approx $1,779. Selling 600 tickets brings us almost $2,900. So….Buy tickets yourself! When was the last time you saw the Tammies?? Buy tickets for giveaway to a charity. Sell tickets to everyone you meet. Need a sales pitch? Try This:
Our RotaryClub is hosting the Tamburitzans for the 65th (estimated) consecutive year. Proceeds from the show support CLK Rotary projects including CLK Scholarship and LL/H Scholarship and support of the "No Child Without a Christmas" program. The Tammies dances change every year as the students change. You need to come and see this show. I have tickets for sale: Would you like 4 or 6?”
Try the above presentation or something close to it. It works!
