2016 Foundation/Membership Workshop, Colonial Heritage Club (Williamsburg) August 6:

If your club leadership role relates to  Membership or The Rotary Foundation or these are areas of interest to you,please put the morning of August 6 on your calendars now to participate in the Foundation/Membership Workshop. The incoming District Membership Chair Mike Jallo and incoming District Rotary Foundation Committee Chair (DRFCC) Chuck Arnason are in the early stages of planning as we read this.  Why should Club Foundation Chairs, Grant Project Chairs, and Membership Chairs attend?

• annual training focused on just Membership, Foundation Giving, & Grants
• takes only a morning — shopping, sightseeing, and lunch can follow with the family
• minimum of pomp and circumstance
• chance to show off those tropical plaid shorts, skorts, and disreputable hats
• sharing of club ideas and projects

Registration will be on the dacdb.com district calendar soon.  The Colonial Heritage Country Club has wifi, an informal grill & bar for lunch afterwards, if you choose, and is virtually across from the Williamsburg Pottery.  Make the entire day a family outing.  You will be out of the Workshop around Noon.  Watch this space for when Registration opens.
