You can see these priorities and the details of the items discussed here – https://trello.com/b/uIUEsMvf/rotary-where-we-are. This is a reference tool that we can revisit as we carry on our planning.
Questions for You
- Review the financial summary from David S, our treasurer, to get a picture of our fundraising and spending over the past 5 years – want to know more about an item?
- Review the Member Directory, paying close attention to the committees – want to do more? Is everything you do reflected here?
- Do you agree with the priorities? What ideas does this list bring up for you?
What is Next?
Monthly sessions can be scheduled to collaborate and deep-dive into planning. A newly formed planning committee can help to distill the findings from the sessions and set next steps.
