Weekly Meeting: The keynote speakers this week were Mark Clement and Warren Hern, Presidents and CEOs of Rochester General Health System and Unity Health System.  They spoke to us about the pending merger of their separate health systems, and the new entity that will be created.  Mark and Warren explained how the merger was prompted by the Affordable Care Act, and is a response to the changes needed in the healthcare industry. 

B2B Connections at Seabreeze:  I would like to see how brave you are on the Jack Rabbit.  So, please join us on Thursday, July 17, beginning at 5:00 pm, for a picnic dinner, followed by a presentation and behind-the-scenes tour of Seabreeze Amusement Park by CEO Rob Norris.  Rotarians will receive wristbands, so you can ride the Jack Rabbit with me and Tracy Armstrong, and enjoy the park's other attractions, after the tour.  There is no charge to you to attend this B2B Connections event!  The dinner, tour and park admission are very generously being provided to Rotarians by our new member Mike Mantione and Seabreeze.  They also are providing discount tickets for only ten bucks, so your family can ride the rides with you after the dinner and tour.

Congratulations to Jeff Bartkoski, who retired from the United States Navy on May 16, and, on June 2, was appointed President and CEO at Mercy Flight Central.  Thank you, Jeff, for offering to pay the equivalent of two fines.  I know I speak for a great many Rotarians: we are thrilled that you and your family will be staying in Rochester, and we wish you great success in your new position.

 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

"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!

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.
