Next meeting, May 13
Our next meeting will be May 13, in Cornwall after the Foundation Walk (registration attached). If you participate, that will give you some attendance credits right away. There is also a donor sheet attached if you want to collect pledges. Rotarians only need ID numbers, but for anyone else you need an address.
If you do not want to participate in the walk, we will start at 2:00 pm. We will be in the Board Room, lower level, at 55 Water St. W. Cornwall ON K6J 1A1. If you cannot make the meeting, check in at https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/127402085.
At this face-to-face meeting we will go over the constitution and bylaws. They are attached for you to review. If there are questions or concerns, try to discuss them on our closed Facebook group. If you do not belong yet, look it up.
Charter papers sent to RI
All charter appliction papers have been sent to RI. All we can do now is wait. We registered 26 members, including 6 brand new Rotarians.
What are some of the things I can do to get attendance credits?
If you've logged in and gone to My ClubRunner, look for My Commitments in the blue line under the main headings. In the New Member Program section, there are about 20 activities that you can choose from. Some can't be done right away. You will not be able to get a profile at rotary.org until we are officially chartered. There are a lot of things that you can do. As a Passport Club member, you will need to be looking for things to do to fulfill your 40 hours of service for the year.
Another possibility is to look through Facebook to see what activities that clubs are promoting that you could assist with. We'll try to forward as many of these as we can to the Facebook group that we have. If you find out about things, you can share them to the Facebook group also.
Start now to look for things to do so that we can be ready as soon as the charter comes.
How do I record my attendance credits?
In the My ClubRunner section, you will also see My Attendance. Most of you will not have anything there, but we're working on instructions to make it possible for everyone to record their own attendance. Attendance is based on weeks and to simplify things I marked each Monday as the beginning of a new week. We will need to do a GoToMeeting about this also. Individual GoToMeetings are also possible if you cannot make the group meeting.
