Fellow Rotarians, At the Rochelle Rotary meeting today the attached sheet was passed around the club. Members were asked to pick 3 or 4 projects from the list that they would be willing to help with, ranking them in desired order. This list will hopefully accomplish two things. It will hopefully alleviate the need for passing around sign-up sheets in the future, and it will help the club to plan each project in the future to ensure its successfulness if the committees are in place in advance. If you were not present at today s meeting would you please look at the sheet and email your top 3 or 4 project picks to Ross at tourism@rochelle.net. I would like to have your picks returned to me by Monday, August 10 th so that I can compile the list before the Rotary meeting next Tuesday. Thanks!
