Speaker

 

Our District Governor, Stan Smalley, was inspiring in presenting his goals.  He invited us to the District Conference in April of 2008 in Sacramento and Foundation Day, October 6, Six Flags, Vallejo.  Stan encouraged each of us to try one new Rotary thing .  Our Club was challenged to do one new thing. 

 Stan emphasized the following for district 5160:

     1.  Increase each club by one or 2%

     2.  Increase our district contributions to $200 per person

     3.  Increase Foundation participation

     4.  Increase Paul Harris Society membership

     5.  Continue Polio Plus and Hands Project.
