This week's meeting:
 
    ROTARY CLUB OF LAKE CONROE (MONTGOMERY)
  May 2, 2023

We met this Tuesday the 2nd at Amore’s Fine Dining (on the lake, of course!).
President Robert described the recipients of our annual scholarships:
Autumn Renee Walker from Montgomery High and Lexie Howell of Lake Creek High received our scholarships to two year schools.   Well deserved, both of them!

He also happily introduced our Fundraiser Chair and President Nominee Sherry Bogus.  Sherry led us in a green-light session to review the specific ways our fundraiser “Rotary Roll 2023” was successful, and then outlined what we will be doing next year to retain and to improve that success. 

Details of those successful techniques are of course proprietary and cannot be revealed in a public forum such as this; but we can say with certainty that Sherry’s uniquely positive approach to the project was a main reason. 
 
She also congratulated those members who came up with the idea to change the ticketing process to the old-fashioned, paper ticket book approach; and the distribution of tickets to our sponsors for them to give to their customers and employees.  Seemingly small steps like these lead to large successes for Rotary and the community! 
 
Memory Park, Clothes for Kids, and Scholarships head the list of our club’s donations from the $15,000 net proceeds.  Way to go, RCLC and Sherry!

Using these keys as a basis for next year, Sherry and the club members suggested new ideas such as having the club meet at some of the Rotary Roll venues as a way of thanking them.  She will soon be forming a committee to spread out the many jobs required to keep the process rolling!
 
As his Rotary year screams to its end after June, President Robert can look back with major amounts of pride on the huge success of the fundraiser and the introduction of many new and potentially new members.  Positive attitudes abound, and Robert is leading by example.
 
******************************
Polio chair Michael Berger gave us the good news that the world has seen no new cases in the past few weeks.  
***********************************
Public Relations Person Deanna Voitle brought new club shirts and the new club pamphlets, all ready for our NEW members and for those of us who have misplaced the older versions.  Old is the word, the dirty old word.  Keep me in touch, or you'll need a new clutch.  Ouch!
***********************************
Traveling salesman Joe Bechelli described a side trip to good old South Carolina and two large Rotary clubs.  Amazingly similar to our club, but so different as well.  All is good in their state, especially after that lawyer debacle.  Hope to bring that webinar to the club on June 6.  Stay tuned!
