As the Rotary year comes to an end, incoming President Shelly McColm addressed the club, discussing her Presidents training experience. She indicated training was very productive and creating a five year action plan was strongly recommended. The plan should increase the impact of the club and improve outreach and engagement, and the ability to adapt. Recruiting new members is critical, as is retaining the present membership. Surveying club members and supporting the Rotary Foundation are important elements of the process. Shelly would like the club to explore applying for a District grant to fund a suitable project. Shelly spoke briefly about her early years, her carrier and her family. She has a new grand baby, loves to read and make balloon arches for special occasions. Prospects look good for the coming year.
