Piedmont Hills Interact

 
As adviser, I was invited to attend "my" Interact Club at Piedmont Hills High School during their general meeting on February 12.
First they highlighted upcoming volunteer opportunities:
In February -
  • helping at the Bay Area Pet Con
  • participating at Dumpster Day in Alviso
  • lending a hand at Sunday Friends
And assisting at the MS Walk in May

Then there was an on-line really fun competition to win a special t-shirt playing Kahoot (I've got to look into that!)
 
Finally the incoming board members were announced.
This photo is just the current and incoming board members -- the club membership is "way" larger!
 
 

Jan 31 MeetUp

We had fun, fellowship and stimulating conversations during our inaugural "Last Thursday" Evening MeetUp 

 

Club members were joined by visiting Rotarian PP Bijoya Mishra of the RC of Bhubaneswas, Orissa, India. She is in San Jose for about 6 months staying with her daughter who also joined our MeetUp. We learned that her club is for women only (men are allowed to visit); their current membership is about 45. Dr. Mishra, retired from a career as a professor of chemistry, has turned her energy to chairing her club's Literacy Committee. It was because we had an evening meeting that she was able to join us however she hopes to visit a lunch meeting in the near future.

Clubs reap benefits from flexibility options

2019-20 Rotary International President Mark Daniel Maloney is urging leaders to grow Rotary by creating new Rotary and Rotaract clubs that take advantage of innovative membership models.

In his speech to incoming leaders at the annual training event in San Diego, California, USA, Monday, Maloney said β€œThe first emphasis is to grow Rotary β€” to grow our service, to grow the impact of our projects, but most importantly, to grow our membership so that we can achieve more."

During the 2016 Council on Legislation, delegates voted to give Rotary clubs more freedom to decide when, where, and how they meet and the types of membership they offer. Clubs that have taken advantage of the new club flexibility options have reported increased membership; greater diversity in age, professions, and experience; and more engaged members.
