A Few Other Things…

   Rotary’s Future Vision Plan
    –   Rotary asks you to think bigger, collaborate with
        other clubs and districts, be involved in Rotary
        programs that provide sustainability - not just "do
        a project" then leave.
   Pilot vs. Non-Pilot Districts
    –   D 5100 is a non-pilot district
   Club Certification & Training in F.V. – in 2012-
    2013. Don’t let these get in the way … plan
    NOW to join in or sponsor a project.

     your club
