SUCCESSFUL ONE ROTARY SUMMIT - FARGO 

Submitted by: Linda Marrin, District Trainer
 
District 5580 Rotarians attended a One Rotary Summit in Fargo on Saturday, October 13 and participated with great energy.  Many of the attendees attended last year’s session and understood the excitement and ideas that are generated by the summits. 
 
One Rotary Summit is a focus on the way we keep our organization strong.  Rather than a session repeated annually it is a summit to share ideas and approaches to strengthen our clubs with new presentations and information shared each year.   Fargo attendees were very engaged and shared many ideas.  The ideas shared were captured and were emailed to attendees by District Executive Secretary Gloria.
 
Many ideas included ensuring we understand that sharing the news of our great foundation projects, both locally and internationally, can enhance our Public Image which generates interest in joining our clubs.  Presenters and attendees shared actions that have been effective to do just that!
Attendees received flash drives with the materials and links to videos that were presented at the summit.  If someone in your club attended, it is likely you will see some of what they saw at the summit.  If there were no attendees from your club, you have the opportunity to attend the summit in Duluth on Saturday, February 9th.  Four Assistant Governors attended the summit; David Long, Donn Peterson, Kris Fehr, Krista Proulx.  If one of these AGs is your club’s AG, you can contact them for additional information.
 
A link to only one of the six videos included in the session, is: https://vimeo.com/279110411.  It’s to the point and well worth the minute it takes to watch it.  Check out this video and mark your calendars for the February 9th summit in Duluth, 10am – 3pm.  We hope to see you there!
