This week we had District Governor Kirk Reed join us for a Board meeting followed by our weekly meeting where Kirk presented the program. His goals for our District for the year can be summed up in just seven words:- Think Big
- Have Fun
- Get Stuff Done
Kirk had a very positive meeting with our Board and I thought delivered a meaningful program to the Club. He is looking to grow Rotary and we have jumped on board by working with other Rotary Clubs in Tucson to see how we can “raise the tide” for all Rotary Clubs in Tucson. I will provide you with details on the three specific projects in an upcoming Monthly Report.
We have a lot going on as a Club, AS IT IS CAR SHOW SEASON! Chairman Bruce Jacobs, the SLT (Strategic Leadership Team) and the TLT (Tactical Leadership Team) have been doing an outstanding job of getting ready for the 12th Annual Tucson Classics Car Show.
Ticket sales is the name of the game these days and our “Past President” Candidates are fighting for your votes. Make sure to sell tickets not only in person, but take advantage of selling at an Event (it’s fun!) or by selling tickets by email. Talk to your Candidate if you have questions or need any help. It truly is going to be a “Terrific Twelph”!
Also, right around the corner is our District Conference on Friday 9/28 to Saturday 9/29, and it is being held in “our backyard” at the DoubleTree. There are great programs, a hospitality Suite on Friday night that is free, a reception on Saturday night for our District Governor Elect Ellie, that is available if you sign up for the dinner on Saturday night. At the dinner the keynote speaker is none other than…President Teddy Roosevelt! We also have other “dignitaries” from our Club involved, Bob Shaff will be the Key Note speaker for the Friday breakfast and Fonda Insley will be the MC for the event and Darrell Stewart will be serving his famous Seafood Chowder at the Friday night mixer…along with beer and wine. Join us there! You can sign up or get additional information online at the District 5500 website.
This just in, a somber note, Frank Zunno passed away on Sunday afternoon. He was a long-time member for 27 years, and his passing is a great loss to the Club. If you did not know Frank, he was a great man and Rotarian. He lived a very full life passing away at 95. We will miss him. We will get out details on his memorial service as soon as we receive them.
YIR,
