LMR Membership Campaign

Posted by Naomi Lewis

Membership in LMR is by invitation. I'm sure we all know some folks with great personalities that we'd love to work with.

Since we launched our Membership campaign in October, members have brought 111 Non-Rotarian guests have visited our meetings, 7 of which are now members. And, on March 31, 2016 we are inducting 3 more.

Keep up the great work. Don't forget, in April members who have brought the most guests will be served ice cream by the losers that brought the fewest.

Goals and Objectives for 2015-16 Governors Cup?

Thank you to the Board of Directors and other club members that have been working to establish this years goals. Most of the goals were established when we established the 3 year Strategic Plan that was implemented in July of 2013. Our planning this year focused on enhancing our Membership Development efforts.

Goal #1

Grow membership by a net of 10%

To achieve this growth we will be implementing an aggressive membership recruitment program that Bob Troyer reviewed Club Assembly

We will investigate feasibility of implementing a satelite club on the east side of Lake Lewisville to include Little Elm, Colony & Castle

Hills areas

Goal #2

Service Above Self Goals

6 Community Service Projects that will include 900 Volunteer hours for the year

Expand youth services projects to include EarlyAct at Central and investigate implementing Interact at TCHS

Youth Services will include budgeting for 2 RYLA students and the identification of an exchange student host

Goal #3

Foundation Goals include continuing member and club contributions at rate of $3,100 per year

We will increase Benefactor participation by 2 members

Goal #4

All District Clubs are being asked to one thing new. We will do two new projects this year

a. Distribution of 2500 W82TXT thumb rings to discourage HHS students texting while driving

b. Implement EarlyAct at Central ES

Goal #5

Continue and improve our 4 annual Fund Raisers to support Shelter Box, CCA, Childrens Advocacy, Honor Flight, LEF, Hero's of Denton

The subject of each speech was how each student sees the application of the Rotary 4 Way Test of the things we say and do in todays world culture. All the students performed well. There were no losers. The highest scoring contestant will have the opportunity to perform their speech at the Rotary District 5790 Regional Contest in Lewisville on April 30, 2016.

Sense & Nonsense

Snotty Receptionist Messes with the Wrong Old Man

An older gentleman had an appointment to see the urologist who shared an office with several other doctors. The waiting room was filled with patients. As he approached the receptionist desk he noticed that the receptionist was a large unfriendly woman who more resembled a Sumo wrestler. He gave her his name. In a very loud voice, the receptionist said, "YES, I HAVE YOUR NAME HERE; YOU WANT TO SEE THE DOCTOR ABOUT IMPOTENCE, RIGHT?"

All the patients in the waiting room snapped their heads around to look at the very embarrassed man. He recovered quickly, and in an equally loud voice replied, "NO, I'VE COME TO INQUIRE ABOUT A SEX CHANGE OPERATION, BUT I DON'T WANT THE SAME DOCTOR THAT DID YOURS."

Moral of the story... DON'T MESS WITH OLD FOLKS!
