Patti V. announced volunteers are needed to take notes at the weekly lunches...
LG Rotarians needed!
- Every meeting a member takes meeting notes, types them up and emails them the next day, to AnnMarie, our newsletter editor. She adds pictures and links, and publishes it on our website.
- The team of note takers has been shrinking and this is where we need your help. You would only be asked to take notes once every 6 weeks or so, at a meeting you were already planning to attend. The notes do not need to be very detailed.
- They are very helpful for those that can’t attend, plus we maintain an archive, and it helps our social media presence and recruiting. It’s important to the club and will only take 30 minutes or so roughly every 6 weeks. LGRotary needs you!
Email Patti if you are able to help us with our meeting notes and thank you for considering!
