Club making progress toward 2021-22 goals

As part of his first board meeting as club president, Nelson Holmberg provided the board with an update on the goals - and progress toward those goals - that were set by the club at the beginning of the current Rotary Year.

Board members were encouraged and appreciated the update. They recommended that the same report be shared with club members.

Holmberg happily reported that the club has set enough goals with Rotary International that it qualifies to earn a Rotary Citation if a minimum of 12 of the 15 goals are accomplished in 2021-22.

The goals, and progress toward them, are:

Members & Engagement

• Grow membership from 24 to 30 during the Rotary Year. Through November 12, the club has already inducted two new members, with more in the pipeline.
  
• Service Participation. The goal was set at 15 members participating in service projects. Through November 12, there were 6 members who had done so.
  
• New Member Sponsorship: The goal was set at three. Through November 12, there were two new members sponsored into the club and one other who had submitted and was scheduled for a first reading at the November 18 club meeting.
  
• Leadership Development Participation: The goal is four. Through November 12, club board members had participated in three leadership development opportunities.
  
• District Conference Participation: The goal is set at four. District Conference is May 19-21 in Seaside, Ore.
  
• District Training Participation: The goal is set at six. District Training will be provided in conjunction with the District Conference in Seaside, May 19-21.
  

Rotary Foundation Giving

• Annual Fund Contributions: Club goal is $3,500. Through November 12, we were at $2,450 in giving toward that goal.
  
• PolioPlus Fund Contributions: The club goal is $100. Through November 12, we were at $0.

• The club goal for service projects in 2021-22 is 12. Through November 12, the club had completed three projects in the current Rotary Year.
  

Public Image

• Strategic Plan. This is a "yes or no" goal. The club has a goal to complete a brand standards guide that is aimed at accomplishment of this goal. As of November 12 the guide has not yet been completed.
  
• Online Presence. This is a "yes or no" goal. The club does have an online presence that is kept current frequently.
  
• Social Activities. The club goal is to have six social activities this year. As of November 12 we had done 2, but there are currently plans for at least two more before the end of January.
  
• Update Website and Social Media. The club goal is 36 updates. Through November 12, we had already completed 18.
  
• Media stories about club projects. The club goal is six. As of November 12, we'd had no stories about the club. However, no news releases or story pitches had yet been done. With Dancing with the Local Stars coming up, it's anticipated this goal will be easy to achieve.
  
• Use of official Rotary promotional materials: Another "yes or no" goal. The club always uses official promotional materials, so this one is complete.
