Some Sad News
 
We have just received word through Dave Brann that Tamara, wife of Past District Governor Vladimir Donskoy of Irkutsk, Russia, has passed away due to cancer.  Our condolences to him and their family and friends.  During his tenure, Vladimir came to Homer and other Clubs in Alaska, and attended District Conference in Anchorage.  For anyone wishing to contact Vladimir directly, here is his email address < vladimir.f.donskoy@gmail.com >

Holiday Family Party

 
New Members Proposed

The Homer-Kachemak Bay Rotary Club Board has approved the proposed Corporate Membership of Geneva Woods, a medical equipment, supplies, and pharmacy services company.  Representing Geneva Woods as members of the Homer-Kachemak Bay Rotary Club will be Ms. Christie Gibbs and Mr. Mike Tivoli.

Per our by-laws the Board solicits comments from the membership NLT December 7, 2017 concerning these prospective members. All comments should be in written form.


Volunteers Needed
The Club needs YOU to step up and put your name forward to run for the position of President-Elect for the 2019-2020 year.  If you are unsure whether, or not, you are qualified, please contact Beth.  There is plenty of training available, and lots of help, to perform one of the most fun and rewarding jobs you'll ever have.
 
We also need someone to fill out the rest of the year (until June 30, 2018) on the Board of Directors.  Please contact Beth for this one also.

Speaker Information Needed

If you are one of the lucky members who signed up to recruit a speaker for one of our meetings then please use the link below to add their name, title or topic of the presentation and list any additional people who may be presenting.  The more info the better!

We like to give certificates to everyone who presents - and Craig makes these up a day or two prior to our meeting - so it is important to have the spreadsheet filled out in advance.  I also use this information to plan the agenda for the week - so it is very helpful to have the info complete!

 

Also - if you have someone who you think would be a good presenter - look at the spreadsheet, see who is responsible for recruiting the speaker and contact them with your idea.

 

AND - if you aren't in charge of recruiting - but see a speaker who you think would be interesting to a friend or colleague - please invite them and share Rotary and the club experience with them!  It's a great way to recruit new members.  OR invite a member who hasn't been to a meeting for a while and ask them to join you!  It's a great way to retain our members!!

 

See you on Thursday!
