Joel Olsmats is our exchange student from Sweden this year and he will give a presentation on Sweden and what he has experienced here in Holland so far.
The membership committee presented their work. We were challenged to invite friends to meetings and service projects. We were told that in order to feel comfortable talking to our friends about Rotary, we should have an "elevator speech." There were a few examples of things you might say. The main idea is that Rotary exists to "unite and take action." It is important that you follow up with the people you invite. The membership committee is looking for volunteers to help with new members.
The book house project is looking for an additional place to store donated books. Herrick District Library has given us space now that the remodeling is complete. However, we have more books than can fit.
Catherine Ristola Bass is moving up to work with Rotary Youth Exchange students at the district level. This leaves an opening at our club to replace Catherine. This position involves clerical and administrative duties involved with the exchange students.
