What do you want from Rotary?

Nancy Leipzig, Chair of the Young Professional Task Force, asked members to get together in their Rotary Ambassador teams and discuss what they want from Rotary.  This information can be used to generate ideas on how to bring in new members and bring vitality to the Club.  These ideas will then be brought to the Board of Directors to help in their strategic planning.  Members were asked to think about 5 topic areas:  community engagement, programs, networking/fellowship, fundraising and events or to create their own. After 10 minutes, these ideas were shared:

More socializing and networking at meetings
Educate members about Appleton/community and international volunteer opportunities
