ROTARY CLUB OF OAK BAY
2007– 2008 CLUB PRESIDENT’S GOALS

Jack Petrie - President 2007-2008

Rotary International, District, and Club Theme – “Rotary Shares”

1. To see full participation from all the club members in facets of the club.  To encourage members to ‘SHARE’ their time, energy and talents to help with our local and international initiatives.
2. To coordinate meetings that are well-paced, fun, and informative with a good ‘blend’ of  Rotary content and of community…where our guests (including our speakers) and visiting Rotarians feel warmly welcomed, recognized and appreciated.
3. To maintain our club size at no less than 65 members. At the same time, be mindful of not growing too large. The ‘familiarity’ we enjoy with each other is important. With the recent addition of so many quality individuals, we need to help those new members feel ‘connected’ and important to the health of our club.
4. To ‘SHARE’ our Rotary Club’s activities through informative, creative Public Relations activities.  (Our Bulletin is a powerful vehicle for Rotary and Club awareness…externally and internally; let’s share it with others).
5. To continue our club tradition of being amongst the leaders, if not the top…in commitment to the Rotary Foundation (per capita participation, sustaining members, Bequest Society members and Benefactors) to ‘SHARE’ with those in need of Rotary’s help.
6. To participate in International projects to do with Health, Literacy, and Clean Water and to fund and complete at least two of those in the next year.
7. To be more active in Youth Programs, to enhance all of those important activities such as our strong Interact Club, and also Adventures in Citizenship, Adventures in Music, etc.  And further, for all the members to ‘SHARE’ the ‘hosting’ of our exchange student, to make her feel welcomed, appreciated, so when she returns home , she is a Goodwill Ambassador for Rotary.
8. To be recognized by Rotary International President Wilf Wilkinson, by being awarded the Presidential Citation.
