At last Wednesday's meeting we had 16 Members and 3 Guests- David J. Greer, our guest speaker, Mayor Ron Toyota from the Creston Valley Rotary and David Savage from the Cranbrook Sunrise Rotary.
Peter Fox recited the 4 way test.
Rotary Moment:
President Cleo told us about a moment of inspiration she had last weekend. She noted how the work that Rotary does can have far reaching positive consequences, such as the RYLA program helping young people find their calling and avoid falling for the empty promises of crime, violence and other negative life paths.
Announcements:
1) Seniors Christmas Luncheon. Matthew updated us on the status of the event. In a nutshell, we ned to find a way to raise 17K for the event. One of the options would be to sale water bottles at farmers markets during the summer.
2) Hoop a Thon- Gary invited each of us to contact 20 friends/acquaintances and start the pledging process now.
Guest Speaker - Our guest speaker was Coach David J. Greer, a entrepreneurial coach.
The title of his presentation was "Slow Down to Speed Up".
Some of the highlights from the presentation were:
- They are four daily vital actions: start, plan, connect and finish.
- Four critical questions to ask yourself everyday:
- Your intention today?
- The #1 way you connect with other people?
- What do you commit to change?
- Who can help you?
