News of YOUR Club
Conscious Capitalism at Trader Joe's
and Daily Table

WHO: Doug Rauch, Former President of Trader Joe's

WHEN: Tuesday, May 2nd at the Floreano Riverside Convention Center

WHAT: Conscious Capitalism shows that purpose-driven companies that balance the needs of all stakeholders (customers, employees, suppliers, community, environment) end up being far more successful in the long run. Doug will give an overview of Conscious Capitalism from his time as President of Trader Joe's and now his latest project, Daily Table, which he has called "A hunger relief health-care agency masquerading as a retail store."

We will have guests joining our lunch from the Conscious Capitalism Summit that is happening throughout the morning prior to our luncheon. We are asking all Rotarians to register yourself and any guests for the luncheon.

B2B Breakfast Meeting
"Protecting Your Data & Keeping the Bad Guys Out" 

Join us Wednesday, May 10th at 7:30 a.m. in the Rotary Office Training Room for a breakfast meeting hosted by the B2B Committee.
Guest speaker will be Rochester Rotarian Cheryl Nelan, President of CMIT Solutions of Monroe. Cheryl will discuss Protecting Your Data and Keeping the Bad Guys Out. 

Your entire business is on your computer. All the data about your clients, your vendors, your employees. You know your business would be lost without it. But, what is the risk that anyone would try to steal it? It's never happened before, so should you be worried about it?  Truth is, it is happening every day to small businesses just like yours.  Thieves have learned that your data is valuable and it is usually not as well protected as the big guys. So, what can you do about it?  How do you protect yourself and all your clients and employees from their data getting into the wrong people's hands?

Attendees will learn what other businesses are doing today to secure their data and protect their clients. The session will get past the hype and give real world examples as well as simple advice to help business owners take the right steps towards improving security and protecting against fraud. It will help owners understand the risks but also give them some ideas for how to manage it within their budgets.

Space is limited so we ask that you please register by clicking on the link below. The cost is $10 per person.

The Friendship Committee needs your help
Do you know of any Rotarians who may be ill?

One of the functions of the Friendship Committee is to reach out to Rotarians who are confined to their home, the hospital, a rehab unit or nursing home due to a sustained illness. We have found that they really appreciate hearing from fellow Rotarians, whether with a card, a call or a visit. But we need your help. We can only make contact with those Rotarians who have been brought to our attention. So, if you hear about someone who should be contacted, please don't assume we know. You could be the only one who knows.
 
Please contact Myrna at 546-7435 x201 or myrna@rochesterrotary.org to convey the information.

Thank You
Volunteers Needed
Roberto Clemente School No. 8 
Parent-teacher conferences are one of the best ways that a school, a student, and a student's family can come together to evaluate the student's progress, set future goals for the student to attain, and build better communications and relationships with the student's family.

This year, the traditional parent-teacher conference will change at Roberto Clemente School 8: each student will attend and lead his/her own conference twice during the school year. Students will take ownership of their learning, reflect upon their progress, explain areas of strength and weakness, and perhaps most importantly, set goals for both academic and personal development.

In this student led conference, the student puts in a tremendous amount of individual preparation. Unfortunately, not all parents are able to attend their child's conference and listen to how he/ she is doing, and how they plan to do better. That's where Rochester Rotary comes in: School 8 faculty and administration feel that this is such an important endeavor, that when a parent is unable to attend, they are asking a Rotarian to sit in on the conference. Our job is primarily to listen, ask relevant questions, and help the student set practical goals for academic and character improvement.

Conferences will be held on the following dates:

May 22nd - 8th Grade
May 23rd - 7th Grade
May 24th - 6th Grade
May 25th - 5th Grade
May 26th - 4th Grade
May 30th - 3rd Grade
May 31st - 2nd Grade
June 1st - 1st Grade
June 2nd - Kindergarten

There will be two sessions each day: morning 8:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and afternoons 12:30-3:00 p.m. Can you be available for any day for any amount of time to listen? Is so, please contact Myrna in the Rotary Office at 546-7435 x 201 or myrna@rochesterrotary.org to schedule your time.
