Our current Lieutenant Governor, Denny Sharma, attended and
gave us an update of happenings in our Division. He talked about
club attendance. Most clubs have an average of 50% attendance.
Our clubs need to grow and increase membership. Members are
aging and we need to bring in younger members. Younger people
like projects and not meetings with meals. They also have limited
time and income. Membership growth is the emphasis this year.
Denny uses our newsletter to show his club how to improve their
newsletters.
Denny has agreed to serve as Lt. Governor for another year since
no one came forward to fill the position.
He commended the Labelle Club for the fantastic job they did with
the last Division Council Meeting (DCM). June10th is the next DCM
which will be at Lakes Park. Our club will host the 4th quarter DCM
Clubs need to share information on speakers who talk about kids.
He will send a link for a speaker on Biz Kids Expo. Denny
encouraged our club to send 2 people to the International
Convention.
Jerry showed a fun video featuring Tim Conway as Dorf on Golf. He
had a golf mat where members took turns trying to hit a wiffle
type golf ball onto the mat where it would stick with velcro. The
person with the highest score received an extra 50/50 ticket. Dave
Butler won with 200 points. Jim Nestler also received a ticket for
getting a hole in one.
Denny won the 50/50 raffle. He donated some of the funds back to
the club.
Our casino Night fundraiser was
held last Friday evening. The event
was a success—we had a good
turnout and everyone had fun.
Results from the event are not yet
available. Thanks to Dave Butler
for chairing and to everyone who
helped.
