Skaneateles Rotary Club
Meeting Structure Proposal
The purpose of this proposal is to revise, expand and advance the meeting schedule for Skaneateles Rotary Club meetings that will help attract new and particularly younger club members and increase participation/attendance opportunities for all members.  Its objective is fourfold:
  • To offer more times and different meeting opportunities 
  • To increase the number/frequency of small and/or local service projects younger people like to be part of, for an hour or two on weekends, while at the same time increasing visibility of the club and its “service above self” mantra. 
  • Reduce the demand to fill the Rotary calendar with speakers in favor of fewer, but more high-powered, significant speakers.
  • Provide enough changes to how and when the Skaneateles Rotary Club better meets the community’s needs and the demanding/changing schedules of its citizens
These changes will be implemented on a trail basis for the 1st quarter of 2020.
To read a more details on these changes on-line,  CLICK HERE
