Membership Dues Update
July is dues month in our Rotary world.  Our club implemented the online dues and billing module now built into our ClubRunner system.  Dues statements were produced by ClubRunner and sent on July 1 to members’ preferred email on file in ClubRunner.  As of July 14, 21 of the club’s 53 active members, or 40%, have paid their annual dues.
Club Service Survey Reminder
Club Service co-chairs Bella Chaffey and Joe Getzendanner created a questionnaire aimed at helping the club boost involvement.  The survey will help Club Service arrange a few membership “games” in which Rotarians might participate for a few minutes during Zoom meetings.  Bella says the committee is “Hoping to encourage participation and have a little fun! Our goal is to get these started in a few weeks … hoping we get a decent amount of responses from the survey.”  Please take a few moments to complete and submit the questionnaire in the next couple of weeks.  Please click HERE to participate in the survey.
Committee Sign-ups Still Available
President James Nevers polled our membership to determine on which committees club members would like to serve, and how the club might improve its meetings.  As of July 7, 20 of 53 active members responded (see the brief story in last week’s Spokesman for the initial survey results).  You can still contribute to the survey by clicking HERE and filling out the survey form.
Programs and Speakers Update
Last week’s Spokesman carried a story about the new Programs and Speakers Committee's monthly program themes.  Rotarians are invited to comment on the initial list of monthly themes generated through committee discussion, and listed in the July 6, 2020 edition.  July is developing into a free press and media theme, August is now slated for a series of diversity, equity, and inclusion speakers, and September is tentatively scheduled for area education leaders who can provide members insight into back-to-school plans and activities.  If you are interested in joining the Programs and Speakers Committee, please email James Nevers.  If you have a speaker or topic suggestion, please use the “Suggest A Speaker” page on the club's website.
July Board of Directors Meeting
The club’s new board of directors held its first meeting of the new year on July 8, 2020.  Club members may view the meeting minutes (unofficial until approved at the next board meeting) on the Board Minutes site page of the website.  Access minutes by clicking on the Board Minutes link in the “Site Pages” section on the left side of the home page.  Minutes of prior board meetings may also be found on the Board Minutes site page.  The Spokesman now carries a link to the Board Minutes site page as well (see the box below).  Board meetings now start at 5:30 p.m. Meeting dates for this year (with the Zoom link included) are posted on the website calendar.
