The mission of the Rotary Friendship Committee is to
develop services and relationships within our club to help develop the third
principle of the Rotary Four-Way test: “Will it build goodwill and better
friendships?” Their goal is to build
better friendships by serving our members in three areas: Illness and
Bereavement, Transportation and Hospitality.
- Illness and Bereavement- Rotary to
Rotarian connection to those who are incapacitated, seriously ill at home
or in a care facility, or any member that is hospitalized or suffering a
loss. To generate awareness a quarterly announcement will be made to
general membership, as well as a reminder in the Gusto. The Club
Administrator will advise the subcommittee about any Rotarian that is
dealing with health issues or suffering a loss. In the case of a death the
subcommittee will determine the best person to make the announcement to the
general membership and determine Rotary representation at the service,
etc.
- Hospitality: Invite spouses
of former or recently inactive Rotarians to 2 meetings each year to
maintain contact and friendships. Will maintain a current listing of
spouses, determine who may have an ongoing relationship with the spouse
and annually send a “friendship” letter.
- Transportation: Primary purpose
will be to provide a ride to and from our Rotary meetings. Maintain a
roster of members who will be willing to provide transportation. Maintain
a listing of members that need transportation to and from meetings. A
member of the transportation committee will be designated to be the
contact person.
"Thank
you Rotarians for living our motto "Service Above Self" by
volunteering to be a driver for our Rotarians in need of transportation.
There were 28 volunteers signing up (and everyone did it correctly!) which
covered all four quadrants. We could use a couple more volunteers who
live or work in the North West quadrant (north of College Ave, west of Richmond
St). Many thanks from the Friendship Committee."
