District Governor Dr Wiroon Boonnuch’s Club Review and our first Club Assembly is on Friday 24^th September. Join the Zoom Fellowship time at 12:05 pm with our Club Assembly starting at 12:30 pm. Guests and Visiting Rotarians are welcome.

There are 44 Members who so far this year have achieved 100% Perfect Attendance. A great result and we can see their engagement either at our regular Friday Meetings or at monthly  Committee Meetings. Not being able to meet physically has not stalled any of our activities as the Board and our Committees continue to plan programs as the country glides to a degree of ‘normality’ in the 1Q 2022. Not far away!

Administration Director Aaron gave us some insights for his Committee’s discussions on our traditional ‘Ladies Day’. It was discussed again at our Board Meeting this week. The key message is that we as a Club must continue to evolve in order that we maintain relevance and importantly engage current Members and attract new Members in the shaping of our future.

Therefore…….it is REALLY IMPORTANT that you please complete the Membership Satisfaction Survey that has been sent out to you twice via
PE Patrick.

We will tabulate the feedback, present it to you, and then as a Club make decisions on what we should be doing more of and what maybe we should be doing less of. Otherwise it becomes a subjective discussion of a chosen few.  We would much rather that we engage Members in the process of developing our Club’s future. Hence, please complete the Membership Satisfaction Survey and return it to Khun Khob ASAP.

It was great that we were able to hear first hand from Rtn Poul Weber whilst he was in Denmark via PP Per’s questions. Rtn Poul gave us more texture to his recent recognition having been awarded The Icelandic ‘Order of the Falcon’.

Finally, Secretary Yannick presented another update on the proposed changes to our Club’s Constitution and By Laws. The plan is to present this to a formal vote with Members in October. You will have sent to you shortly all the necessary details to be fully informed of what is being proposed. For me, it is more of a formality than a significant change to what we have.

See you all online on Friday 24^th September.
