Club Assembly
 
Terry Lammers, our President Elect, began the presentation by going over his goals for next year and introducing his board.  Terry wants next year to be focused on Fun and Fellowship.  He would like to get our bi-laws updated, grow membership by 10% by "Getting our ASK on," accepting the long term Louis Latzer Library project, increasing Rotary knowledge, and taking on the Jamaican Dental project as our international project.  His board will include Maura Donnelly, Wayne Steiner, Angie Fears, James Kemper, Holli Martin, Jennifer Whitten, Carrie Adolph, Adrian Rogier, Dave Daiber, Dick Aten, and Bill Sullivan.  Angie Fears and Bob Luitjohan will continue to head the Citrus Sales, Linda Jakel will head the Car Raffle, Rick Ringwald will head the Fish Race and Mark Korte will continue to head the Golf Tournament.  With that being said, Terry wants everyone to fill out the survey and return it next week, stating what people would like to be more involved in or help out with.  If you don't choose anything, you might be assigned somewhere!  The survey also asks for your thoughts and ideas.  What can we do to better our Club.
