Events

Meet in the 2nd floor Multi-purpose room at Legacy at Willow Pond.

Come learn about the expectations and benefits of Rotary membership. Get acquainted with Rotary (local, district, international) and make new friends!

We want to inspire new members to participate and contribute to:

• The fun and comradery of our club.
• Improvement of the vitality and resources of our club.
• Improvement of the lives in our community and worldwide!

All members are invited to discuss the results of the Club Health Condition survey and to perform a SWOT analysis (strengths (S), weaknesses (W), opportunities (O), threats (T)). We am asking ALL club members to make the attempt to attend the meeting, even if you had not completed the club health check. The more club members attending the SWOT analysis, that are part of the strategic planning process and that provide their input, the more successful and the better the results will be for the club and its members.
