West Rotary Wingding

West Rotary will hold a Wingding on July 7th hosted by Susan Thomas and Jill Slupe. The event will be held at the new home of Susan Thomas, a condo in Midtown Crossing, from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Food and drinks will be provided. There are two decks overlooking the park so you can enjoy "Jazz on the Green" music. Additional details will be provided as available. Mark your calendars for a fun evening on July 7th!

Corporate & Family Membership Program

The West Rotary Board approved a Corporate & Family Membership program. An Active Primary club member can propose a qualified family member or a qualified business co-worker for membership. The membership proposal has information in regard to membership qualifications on the form. The new corporate or family member joining will pay dues of $125 with no admission fee. If the primary member resigns one of the corporate or family members will become the primary member and pay the appropriate primary membership fee. The reduced dues rate of $125.00 will be effective the first three years of membership. Click here to see the membership proposal form and flyer for the new program. The information can also be found on the left side of the club website homepage under Site Pages/Joining Rotary. Members, if you have a qualified family member or co-worker please invite them to Rotary for lunch so they can consider joining West Rotary.

POLIO ERADICATION – We are asking you to donate $32 during the month your birthday is recognized. The District has set $32 per person as a giving goal for PolioPlus. Your donation will be given to The Rotary Foundation in your name for PolioPlus. Rotary has led the private sector in the global effort to rid the world of polio for over 30 years. The PolioPlus program helps Rotary fund operational costs, such as transportation, vaccine delivery, social mobilization, and training of health workers, and support surveillance activities. Your donation can help "End Polio Now."

Schedule A Vocational Talk

Posted by Vickie Backman

Gretchen Radler, Vocational Service Committee Chair, will be contacting members to schedule a vocational talk. We would like to schedule two vocational talks each month. Your talk should be 2-3 minutes in length and will give you an opportunity to share information about your profession, yourself and your family. Please say yes when asked to schedule your vocational talk. We look forward to learning more about our fellow Rotarians.
