Club Projects Needs Your Help
To everyone who signed up to serve on a projects committee this year, thank you! Even our most recent new members jumped in and signed up on several committees. Some committees, however, could still use some help.
Scholarships: By serving on the scholarship committee, you will be reviewing the applicants for our scholarship and choosing the recipients. Then you may be asked to present the scholarships at the scholarship award night. Jim Jonson and Greg Gilday are already serving but they could use one or two more people.
Youth Exchange: Greg Gilday did a greatjob this year, and Bonnie George signed up to help this year. If we will consider hosting anothr youth exchange student, I'm sure that Greg and Bonnie could use some help.
Grant Review Committee: We regularly receive requests for funding from individuals and other organizations, so last year the board established eligibility criteria, but we need help to review the requests. Barbara Dadd Shaffer will be on the review committee but we should have another two or three members so the burden is not placed on her alone.
Vocational / FBLA Connection: Patrick Clark is going to be a liaison with the Stanwood High School FBLA and vocational education departments to see if there is something that Rotary can do to interact with either of these programs. Would anyone be interested in helping?
Please remember that when you sign up, you are signing up to serve on the committee for that project. But it still means that when the project actually takes place, everyone else should still be willing to help with the project itself if help is needed.
Remember, "Rotary is a service club. Its business is mankind. Its product is service. Rotarians provide community service to both local and international communities. This is perhaps the best reason for becoming a Rotarian: the chance to do something for somebody else and to sense the self-fulfillment that comes in the process and return of that satisfaction to one's own life. It is richly rewarding".
