SPECIAL Presentation Skills Seminar

Special Seminar on Presentation Skills with Don Wright. After the overwhelmingly positive response at Pre-PETS in February to the brief presentation by Don Wright, Professional Communications Trainer, Governor Tom arranged with Don to do a special, half-day session for Club Officers (especially Presidents, Presidents-Elect and Rotarians who need or wish to learn these skills.)

Don is a television and radio personality and runs Don Wright Productions in Portland. He works with business people who want to increase their ability to connect, build rapport and become outstanding communicators.

The Seminar will be at the Hampton Inn Conference Center, Hiway 212/224 at the exit from I-205. The date is Saturday, October 21, 8:00 A.M. to noon. Check-in will begin at 7:30 A.M. and you will receive a European-style breakfast when you arrive. Cost is $10 per person, covering food, beverages and conference materials. We hope to see you!

Board Meeting Report

As always, Board Members, please correct me if my notes don’t match yours.

Old Business

A. Every Rotarian, Every Year. The board felt more education about the RI Foundation and Paul Harris programs are in order, particularly as part of new member orientation but also to the club as a whole. A club assembly will be planned to talk about ‘All Things Money’, to be presented by our club’s Leadership Academy students. Tentative date: October 3, 2006

B. Presidential Citation. We are well on our way to meeting the requirements. The Board will continue to visit this monthly. Of note:

  1. When selecting a WCS project, we will look closely at projects addressing water, health, hunger or literacy.
  2. Shelly is heading up a ’4-Way Test’ ad-hoc committee with a goal of encouraging members to display the test in their place of business and perhaps certifying us as living these ethics in our personal and business lives. Contact Shelly for more information or to get involved.

  5. Membership: Discussion regarding one newly proposed member. MSP to table the application for right now; David will follow up with a few questions and then bring the proposal to the Board again.
