May 28, 2013 Newsletter - Club Assembly
At last night’s club assembly meeting the topic of discussion was the agenda for the upcoming year and the great need to increase the treasury funding. Committees formed are:
A- Membership: Teresa Reid
B- Foundation: Marc Reisig
C- New Generations: Rich Burgess
D- Administration: James Groom
E- Service Projects: Dominick Longobardi
F- Public Relations: Rich Burgess
G- Vocational Service: Michael Breitman
Further details of the discussions will be forthcoming, but in a nutshell they are centered on the following:
Increasing membership - Although Teresa is the chair of this committee we all have a commitment to this end. We all deal with the gas stations, delis, cleaners, friends and associates, etc., on a daily basis. Why not ask if they know of Rotary and would like to attend an informative meeting?
Signature project- creates awareness in the community of the club and annual fund raiser through a Rotary/Belmont Family day to be held the first weekend in October at Belmont Race Track.
Interact Club- There is several students from Floral Park Memorial High School that want to start this club. They have been discussing this with Rich Burgess. This is a fantastic way for the youth to become involved and engaged in a meaningful way in their community. Seed money will be needed to support the students in this endeavor.
Belmont Street Fair- Tara Moreno of Abbot Reality is providing us space at their booth to sell raffle tickets for an IPAD. We need people to assist at the booth for an hour or two during the event. Please spend some time with us for this needy fund raiser.
Everyone is encouraged to provide suggestions and to join one of these committees.
In closing, we received a letter of heartfelt thanks from Sisters Mary and Jean, of Harvest House, thanking us for club our donation and that of the members who contributed so generously. They are close to their goal of $2500.
Finally, here are the upcoming events:
1. June 1st – High School Senior Awards
2. June 7th - Wine Tasting at the Village Wine Cellar
3. June 9th- Floral Park Chamber of Commerce/Belmont Street Fair
4. June 11th- Board Meeting after the regular meeting
5. June 28th – 2013 – 2014 Officer Inductions
