(cont’d from above)

order to keep pace with the changing world around us.  I believe our Club does pretty well in this category, and I also know that the Club will support the agenda set by next year’s Board and leadership.

This gives me an opportunity to thank everyone who has encouraged me during my year, and who have supported the modest changes put into place by this year’s Board.  I look forward to putting my full support behind our excellent team about to embark on their year in July.

Newsletter Feedback

With the new Rotary year nearly upon us, now is the time to step back and suggest changes to our weekly newsletter.  Do you like/dislike the format?  Do you want to see more or fewer international articles?  More or fewer local articles?  Do you have an idea about something we should include in our newsletter on a regular basis?  Have you seen something in another club’s newsletter we should try?  In short, what do you like, and what can we improve on?

If you have feedback, please send it to Barry Smith at bsmith@thorp-purdy.com or Rod Lathrop at rlathrop@ci.springfield.or.us. 

Batter Up!

It’s that time of the year again!  July 23 is the Springfield Rotary Baseball Night with the Eugene Emeralds vs. the Tri-City Dust Devils, 6:00 p.m. at Civic Stadium.  The cost is $17 per person, and there will be a special rate for kids.  More details, and a sign up sheet, will be available as the date approaches.  For now, questions can be directed to John Halgren.
