I really enjoyed last weekend. I was seriously daydreaming about what a great Rotary club it would make to have us all in the same town. Please feel free to post or comment on anything you want. You will need to create an account with blogger.com, but fear not, they do not spam you or sell your email address to anyone.
If you are having trouble posting, just email me what you want to post - president@seattleskylinerotary.org - and I will post it for you.
There is no obligatory format to this. It can be idea sharing, asking for ideas, venting about that RINO that shows up to your lunches, or anything else you want. Only one rule, use the four way test to judge what you are posting. I will remove anything derogatory or insulting (unless its about Carl, cause then it will probably be funny). JUST JOKING CARL!
If any of you come through Seattle for any reason, it would be my honor to treat you to lunch, at my Rotary club or anywhere else!

Well done Julien, it is very much appreciated to say the least. We are all going to benefit from this in many ways as far as communication is concerned.
Thanks again and enjoy your weekend, it feels a bit like spring here so am going to take full advantage of it and get out on the horse. Carl
Now the work continues, and we are most enthusastic that the valuable information on the wall in our sessions will be continuing on this Blog. Many of us took notes (written or remembered) and these will help to fill in over the next 3 and a half months. Christopher, Federal Way Sunrise, Table #3.
Remember Julien, we were the "best" group of Carl's Group D.
Your actions and participation have made it so. Thank you sooooooooooo much.
This is my first "blog" ever. I am so not technie, but something tells me I will get proper guidence, as I already have from PETS.
Once again, thank you all for your great efforts. I am sure, this will be a great year for us all.
Baala and Rocky's email bounced back. Can you make sure they know about the blog Carl?
Hello all! Thanks Julien for this great idea and I look forward to taking advantage of it.
Had a very successful CrabFest yesterday. We have been asked to do it again next year, and perhaps to do an OktoberFest later this year.
It was a real FUN raiser!
If anyone wants to know more, get in touch with me at margaretthumel@yahoo.com
Wishing youu all a wonderful Easter week!

Having a long term planning club meeting tommorrow for our new club.
Paper and stickers are on the way.
Does anybody have any ideas for Questions?
I'm drawing a blank besides asking about projects.
Thanks

Try a mission statement concept. Use the exercise Carl did with us, like listing important things then ranking them. Take the top two or three and fashion that into a club mission statement, and then set some objectives from there.
Some of them should be achieveable this year, other can be long term.
I would also try and set a calendar, with every project you are repeating, and the already decided on new ones. That will show you which months are busy and should not be added on to, and which are wide open for project ideas. Then pick projects suitable for that month. (some genius set service above self day for January in this district a few years ago, causing us all to freeze to death and making it low turn out.
Just some ideas........hope that helps
Thanks to everyone! Here's what I came up with.
Thanks to Staples.com I was able to get the Postit easel pads, stickers and pens delivered this morning. Here is our goal setting PLAN (if we can make it through it)
1) BHAG - BIG HAIRY AUDACIOUS GOAL - the three year BIG Project ideas.
2) Local Immediate needs - i.e projects under $5000.
3) FUN-Raiser ideas (Yes, Margaret, I stole your verbiage)
4) Participation and Growth - How can we get members to make all this happen.
That should be enough for an hour....It'll be interesting to see how it pans out.

What vehicle is there currently to post for everyone to see a district wide or community wide calender of Rotary events done by each Club. We had the problem with our CrabFest that another important RC in our town had their auction the same evening. Needless to say we lost at least 100 people in attendence. Any ideas?
Hi everyone, hope your month is going well, and it is great to see folks using the site. We are all a very valuable resourse for one another and please do lean on those that have agreed to be the "leanee"!
I will ensure Bala and Rocky get the email Julien, not problem at all. Thanks again for your work here, it is amazing.
