Rotary District 5510

What is in your Club's Vision?
By DG Alan Havir

Is your club everything you want it to be?  Are you the most proud of your club than you ever have been?  Do you exude excitement when talking about your club?  Or, do you make excuses for yourself, your club?  Do you really think you are putting the most in and getting the most out of your club?  Is your club firing on all cylinders?  Are you a V-8 or a lawn mower? 

Recently 14 of 16 members of the Rotary Club of Air Park gathered for a visioning session on a Monday night December 12.  You remember the rumors?  Are they still a club?  Didn’t they hand in their charter?  Almost.  They went to town and aggressively added new members.  They are now at 16. 

Read the article by Air Park President Sara Crosby-Hartman.  See if that doesn’t sound like something your club can do.  Honestly. 

They invested four hours to find out who they are, and where they are going.  For me, this was one of the most uplifting days of my Rotary experience.  They came together and gelled as a club.  They have desire, personal initiative and commitment to become a dominant club in Rotary.  They have a process and member accountability to take action and achieve their cumulative goals.  And, most of the club members have been in Rotary less than 6 months. 

So, what are you waiting for?  Christmas, 2012?  I would hope by then every club in District 5510 has gone through visioning.  It will make a big difference in your club.  Imagine if every club in the District went through this and applied the results. 

We have assembled and a highly qualified visioning team to help your club turn itself into a powerhouse.  If your club could do only one thing this year, make it a visioning event. 

Don’t delay.  Contact DGN Jay Jones to schedule a session ASAP.  Why wait.  There is no success in putting this off.  Things will not get better on their own.  Grab the bull by the horns and twist.
