Weekly Meeting:  Fellow Rochester Rotarian and new member Keith Elder was the keynote speaker this week.  Keith is the Director of Concert Activities at the Eastman School of Music.  We stole him from the Boston Pops, and he started here in December.  Keith's presentation focused on efforts that are underway to strengthen the Eastman Theater as the cultural anchor of our community by bringing world-class talent to Rochester.  They are truly raising the Eastman Theater to be on the same level as venues in major international cities. Please visit the website below for details on upcoming concerts and events.

"Tom is the embodiment of "Service Above Self" and this philosophy is at the core of his personal and professional life.  His generosity of time, talent, intelligence and treasure in the Rochester community is exemplary and is reflected in his many senior level positions over a forty year career of work and service in Rochester.

 Rochester Rotarians are the best source of qualified new members--bringing their business colleagues and friends into the club each year. This past year we saw more than 35 new members join Rochester Rotary!

We need your help to achieve our goal for this year. Do you have a business associate or a friend who might benefit from Rochester Rotary through excellent speakers on a variety of topics at the Tuesday Noon Lunch Meeting, business networking meeting with other business leaders or service opportunities such as those at School # 8 and the Sunshine Campus?

Your Membership Committee is undertaking a special campaign for new members-PLUS ONE! We are asking each member to identify and engage one new member! Bring your potential new member to a luncheon or to an upcoming event. Membership Co-Chairs Mary Lewis Consler and Scott Rasmussen are happy to assist you, as are all Membership Committee members.

The proposal process is easy:

• Simply complete a short Membership Proposal Card, which can be found on the Rochester Rotary website under "Club Committees," and submit the card to the Rotary office.
• A Membership Committee member will meet with your candidate to discuss Rochester Rotary and to learn more about the candidate.
• The Membership Committee member will share information with the committee and make a recommendation for Board approval.

Currently Rochester Rotary is looking for new members in these areas:

• Advertising & Public Relations
• Architecture & Engineering
• Business Owners      
• Clergy, Religious              
• Commercial Sales            
• Computers, Data Processing
• Corporate Executives      
• Entertainment & Sports      
• Hotel/Travel                  
• Human Resources            
• Military                
• Technology                    
• Transportation              
• Utilities  

"PLUS ONE"! That's the Membership Committee's and Rochester Rotary's mission this year! With one new member referral you can make a real difference!

Dear All Rotarians,

I'm certain you have heard about the disaster in Penn Yan. I received the message below from President Diane Krans asking for all of our help. Please consider making a donation to help all of the people and businesses that were damaged by the storm on Wednesday.

The very successful District Conference has just ended and Governor Ellen and the Waterloo Club can take a chance to relax after all of their hard work. With the District Change Over Dinner  less than 2 months away all of us should be making sure each of our Clubs send one or two representatives to this dinner. All of the Club Presidents, and most of the members, know that if you asked Governor Ellen to attend any of your Club's service or fund raising projects she did every. She was there for inductions of new members or to recognize someone with a Paul Harris Fellowship. To show our thanks for all of her efforts it is up to you to sign up for this dinner.

Please make sure you download the attachment below and send in your registration and check quickly so we see if we can set a record for people attending the Change Over Dinner that is being held on Monday June 30th at the Bristol Harbor Resort.
