What's Happening at Grand Island Rotary
President Elect Sherry has sent you an Email with summary of surveys we sent out. 
Let me repeat her message telling you our hopes for Club Assembly this week, Sep 25:
Please review the previous two surveys and digest the results from the Reinvent the Wheel survey.  I appreciate those who responded with openness and honesty. Be prepared to discuss what these survey results tell you about the club and where we have room for improvement.  
SO, lets say it one last time:
   Please come to the Club Assembly, Sep 25 at School District Office, and come with your thinking cap on, to help plan the future of our Club!
 
POD Leader Chris Learman will bring in wraps and drinks for this important WORKING meeting.  You must tell her you are coming, so there will be munchies for all!
Email her  NOW -
Other Coming Events
  • Note that we have our Adopt-A-Hiway cleanup of Beaver Island Pkwy on Saturday, Oct 5 - mark your calendar.  Yes, there will be High School students from interact & Gov't class, but we need you to round out the crew.
     
    If anyone is interesting in helping with Meals on Wheels, please talk to Dan Flaim. 
     
  • Please remember to bring copies of the Rotarian Magazine to Pres. Elect Sherry at the next meeting, for placement in waiting rooms around Grand Island.  Of course that is after you have read it!
A Special Event for Us and the Town

Whitney, PC, Republican and Independence Parties.  
Rotary Beyond Grand Island's Shores
  • ROTARY and its concept of 'Service Above Self' starts local with a community minded Club.  Our G I Rotary is important in itself and can do great things locally.  But there is so much more Rotary International does; please be aware and participate.   Here are some items to extend yourself and your concept of Rotary:
  •  
  • How about enriching yourself, and your partner, by joining a Rotary Friendship Exchange to Sweden and Latvia in May / June of 2020.  What's involved - generally couples will first host, then visit, couples in the partnered area over a 4 week period to gain understanding of the sameness, and differences, of lives of Rotarians between here and Sweden / Latvia. Of course, tourism also! Sound interesting? Email John Crossingham: Xngham@cogeco.net for info.
