Host International Rotarian Students

 

We need volunteers from our Chapter to host students from Russia and Georgia that will be visiting Rochester from July 29 - August 1. The Rotarian students have a planned itinerary of activities in our area, including a visit to the Sunshine Campus. Hosts will be asked to open their homes for three nights (Tuesday - Thursday) and provide breakfast to the students. If possible, hosts will transport students to a central location in our area in the mornings, but if unable the group coordinator can meet all transportation requirements. There are 15 students coming to our community, so we need many volunteers.

 

If you can host, please contact Jeff Bartkoski (jbartkoski@mercyflightcentral.org or cell phone: 585-313-1766) or the Rotary Office by July 15th with the number of students you are willing to have stay overnight at your home on July 29, 30 and 31.

 

This is a great opportunity to show our hospitality and support for Rotary International. Thank you.

Partner with Your Membership Committee for This Year's
"PLUS ONE" Campaign!

 

 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!

 

 

                                          Memorials                          

Many thanks to all for the memorial contributions made. Your generosity helps support capital projects and items that continue to make the Rochester Rotary Sunshine Campus one of the premier camping facilities for people with disabilities in our community.
