Rotary Leaders for the 21st Century

"Rotary Leaders for the 21st Century is a three-day Leadership Conference for local seventh graders co-sponsored by our Club, the Zeeland Rotary Club, Hope College, the local school systems, and the Life Services Parent Center that will be in its fourteenth year this June 12 to 14. 

The students who are participating will have lunch with us at our meeting June 13.  In addition we need Rotarian volunteers to assist with welcoming the students on Wednesday, June 12, early evening (Need 5 to 10 volunteers - all this takes is to be there and support the group), with the students' graduation on Friday afternoon, June 14 (Just show up and show that Rotarians support this - don't need to say anything!), and with our presentation of a problem for student discussion Thursday late afternoon (Role play - perhaps a dozen people needed, only skill needed is to read and/or interpret a script).  Last year we had eighteen Rotarian volunteers help out.  We may also ask for some specific volunteers to make other presentations during the program.  We may still need a keynote speaker, presenters on particular topics, and someone to describe what Rotary is to the group. 

I will be asking you to help.  Please be ready when I approach you.  Or catch me and tell me what you would like to do.

Thanks very much.  This program is one of our signature programs that helps the community and leaders of the future learn about Rotary.  These students are our future Junior Rotarians, exchange students, host families, Scholarship winners, Rotarians.  Let's all do a little to make our future bright.

Thanks.
