Changemakers Rotary Club

Club President Message July 14
     
 
Welcome to the Changemakers Club!
 
Over the next year, each of you will get an email asking you a few questions about yourself.  We plan to do a member spotlight on our website and Facebook page, including a face pic.  I think this is a great opportunity for each of you to 'brag' about yourselves!  Tell us about your life and what you are up to.  I want to get to know each of you better.  
 
In the coming weeks, expect to see an official email from Rotary International about each of us becoming a member.  When they get us setup, we should receive a 'Welcoming' email.  It is up to each club member that is transferring to Changemakers - to notify the treasurer of your old club of your transfer.  This will inform the club of the change and you will no longer be invoiced by your club.  The rest of the membership transfer will happen in the background.
 
We will also be sending out invoices in the coming weeks for club dues.  We all knew this day was coming!  Ha.  We are planning on having an option to pay these dues online with little effort from the club members.
 
See you all soon for the Happy hour!!
 
LeRoy

Contact: Ellen Cook - ellenburleighcook@gmail.com
Description: A trip to Guatemala next year to get to know our fellow Rotarians and their families, do service projects, see the sights and have some fun!
 
As many of you know, we are planning a trip to Guatemala next year to get to know our fellow Rotarians and their families, do service projects, see the sights and have some fun! Gary and Ana and I met with Alvaro and Patrick over zoom last week and together we planned a tentative  itinerary for January 12-22 that Patrick has attached here. Patrick has included a breakdown of the cost per person for the amazing trip he has planned for us that you'll find at the end of the attached itinerary. We priced air travel costs at around $500/person, but obviously that can vary. Please look over the itinerary carefully because there are lots of options included to facilitate designing your trip for your comfort level. What we would like to know at this planning stage is how many of you feel interested in going on this trip. No commitment required just yet
