Rotary Club of Port Nicholson Bulletin 28 June, 2017 (Jul 03, 2017)

John Bishop

Well it has finally arrived - my very last update. It has been a very enjoyable year with some fabulous personal highlights which I will share on Wednesday evening at Changeover.

I would like to thank everybody for their amazing encouragement and support and in particular my fellow Directors and other members for all the work they have put in over the year. I know that I would not have been able to get through the year without your help.

I would also like to acknowledge Bill for his kind words at last weeks meeting.

I wish John, as incoming President, and his new team of Directors my best wishes for a very successful year. I know the club is in good hands and I am particularly encouraged to see new and younger members stepping up to leadership roles.

I look forward to seeing as many of you as can make it on Wednesday. I know some of you will not be there so I will catch up with you over the coming weeks at our meetings. I will have more time to circulate and not have to eat my breakfast and risk indigestion every Wednesday morning anymore. That bit I will not miss.

Have a great week.

Mark

Club President

Rotary Symposium 2017

Every year, each Rotary International Director convenes a meeting of senior leaders in their Zone. This event, known as an Institute, provides an opportunity for past, present and incoming Rotary officers to share information, ideas and resources, build new connections and reacquaint with old friends, and exchange ideas about Rotary International and The Rotary Foundation.

A more recently added event, the Future Leaders Seminar, open to any Rotarian wanting to learn more about Rotary from a leadership perspective, also takes place in conjunction with Institute.

The combined New Zealand event in 2017 will be known as the Rotary Symposium and this year it’s doors will open to all Rotarians.”

There is a Leader’s Symposium as well.

Open to all to attend.

RI General Secretary John Hewko will be attending.

RI Director Noel Trevaskis as well.

Rotary of the Move

Ideas to Strengthen Our Club

At our recent session John Bishop, our incoming President, encouraged us as member of Port Nicholson to be proud of our association with Rotary. We have a strong Club but can always improve by attracting new members and with that they comes new ideas and new commitment. ‘Rotary on the Move’ is circulated widely amongst Australian and New Zealand Rotarians. It is a monthly circular that has excellent articles.

One article states:

Clubs who are well organised attract members
Clubs who communicate well attract members
Clubs who develop strategic partnerships attract members
Clubs who understand that their 'clients' are their community attract members
Clubs who know their demographics attract members
Clubs who listen to their members and respond to their interests attract members
Clubs who have a great Public Relations /Marketing team attract members
Clubs who have effective programs attract members.

New ideas increase our desire to do more for our community through the time we give to serving others.
