REMINDER

Follow Rotarians,

This Tuesday’s meeting we have a special guest/speaker, Matt Hall. Matt has attended our Rotary Club several times now and will be speaking to us about his occupation and his family. We are glad to have Matt visiting and hope he will become a member.
     
Also this week, as voted on by all present last week, we will have a much smaller menu to choose from. There will be four items and you will just circle your choice. The cost is $ 9.99 plus tax and each will be billed separately. This should speed up food prep and give us more time for our speakers.

IMPORTANT: Don’t forget—our next meeting will be at Logan’s on Ireland Road on TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7th. The decision was made two weeks ago to move our meeting day from Thursday back to Tuesday.

Thanks, Jerry Hunt.

As of Tuesday, January 31, 2012, South Gateway Rotary Club will be moving its weekly meeting from Thursdays to Tuesdays and from The Landing Restaurant on South Michigan St. to Logan's Restaurant located at 1320 E. Ireland Road, South Bend, IN 46614.

 

FROM YOUR PRESIDENT

REMINDER
Follow Rotarians,

At the meeting last at Logan’s we had twelve Rotarians and guests really enjoy  themselves at our new location. We all sat around a big square of tables and enjoyed great conversation and fellowship.

Now is the time to invite guests and visiting Rotarians to become a part of a new opportunity foe fun and fellowship. Both he food (ordered from the menu) and the service was good. There are a few wrinkles to iron out, but the site is very satisfactory.

IMPORTANT: Don’t forget—our next meeting will be at Logan’s Roadhouse on Ireland Road on TUESDAY, JANUARY 31. The decision was made at last week’s meeting to move our meeting day from Thursday back to Tuesday.

Thanks, Jerry Hunt.

COMMENTARY

A membership perspective—“Today’s generations support causes rather than organizations, and so we in Rotary should be able to clearly identify the causes that drive us. When somebody asks you what Rotary is, you do not have to fumble for words. Tell the person that we are an organization of service-minded individuals around the world who are working to make the world a better place with our efforts worldwide in water and sanitation, basic education and literacy, maternal and child health, disease prevention and treatment, economic and community development and peace and conflict resolution. That can all be said in 20 seconds or less! Plenty of organizations talk about issues, but Rotary is about action—not words.”
Bill Boyd, Past Rotary International President
