I have just begun my year as President of the Richardson East Rotary Club and of course I need to set some goals!  Last year, our club completed a big playground project at Cottonwood Park in partnership with the City of Richardson Parks & Recreation Department.  That project came out of a strategic planning discussion about 3 years ago.  So now, we need to develop our next five year plan and uncover our next big project!  

 

In addition, I would like to see our club grow its membership by 8-10 new members this year.  To support that, we will take a look at our membership and dues structure to better accommodate all types of membership and employment situations.  

 

We have a very dynamic team on board this year to run our club - in fact, several committees have already hit the ground running!  Our Fundraising committee is looking at other options to augment our Games & Gala event that we have annually.  In fact, this will be the 25th year!  Our Public Image committee is looking at new and fresh ways to make sure our community knows about the great things our club does.  And, our Scholarship committee is already busy planning for 2021.  

 

I have no doubt that this will be a successful year - even during our trying times right now!  It's a great time to join Richardson East Rotary!
