Pancake Festival Oct 7th, Tickets Anyone? Pancake Festival tickets are out, and on the streets. Reserve Friday, Oct 7th, for our an-nual pancake festival at the Webster Hills Methodist Church. All you can eat. It is one of our two major fund raisers.

Kim White visited the Crestwood Club and sold 25 tickets, and left them wanting more. Go there or visit other clubs, and ask the club president to introduce yourself and offer our tickets. It’s fun, and some of our best support comes from other clubs. Work the network. Visit the District website to find club meeting dates and locations. It counts as attendance.

The work schedule has been published and revised once. Download it from the website. Inform Steve Turner of any rearrangements you make, and make them now and early. Check with your pancake committee chair Kim to offer help. (No. 2501 is sold.)

Julianna (left) is inbound from Ecuador and Mackenzie (right) is outbound to Ecuador. Both spoke at the club about the choice to participate in Rotary's youth exchange pro-gram.

Juliannia shared the impact of being a part of a world community with friends around the world. Mackenzie shared the excitement

of just beginning her journey. It is an unusual and wonderful experience to watch two exchange students cross paths in the same club with the same country. In a confluence of world travel, Julianna has chosen to do it again and is now outbound to Brazil. Youth exchange is just one of Rotary's many successful programs, and it is fun and satisfying to be a part of making it happen for our young people. Need 2 more reasons to sell tickets?

What are some examples of changes clubs are considering, attendance? Clubs are permitted to establish different attendance requirements.

Membership types? Clubs are permitted to establish: Corporate Partnership or other types of sponsored membership programs, Associate Member-type member-ships where the person is essentially having a trial-run of RI membership, and the per-son does not have full RI benefits rights and does not pay RI annual dues, and other membership types that are not listed above. Please note that any official, active mem-bers (members with full RI member benefits) require, at a minimum, the full RI annual dues. For example, if a Corporate Partner sponsored four designees, 4x RI annual dues would be required.

Club leadership changes? Clubs are permitted to make changes in club leadership structure. One pilot club is introducing a “shared presidency” where two club mem-bers will share the responsibilities of club president.

Flexible meetings? Clubs can modify their meeting schedule, some clubs may de-cide to have a meeting hiatus during the most popular holiday/vacation time, three meetings instead of four during a month, or alternate or rotate their meeting loca-tions. See the club website story for more FAQs.
