March 5, 2015 Meeting

“This week?  It’s already this week?”  But lucky for you, it’s only Monday.  You still have three days to think about what direction you want YOUR Rotary Club to go.  What areas within our community should we be focusing? Where should we try to initiate a Global Project and who wants to go?

On Thursday, it will be time to put these answers (and many more) onto the colored cards that the Strategic Planning team can sort through and summarize for a general membership vote later this month.

This Thursday is the brainstorming session where we get as many of your ideas as possible collected in one place (or 2000 places if you count each card) all centered on the four areas of Service: Service to Members, Service to Youth, Service within our Community and Service outside our Community.

At a meeting later this month, we will all get to walk through and “vote” on our favorite suggestions that we will have developed and collected from each of us this week.  These suggestions will help set the direction for our club and will be the basis for our Strategic Plan.

This is going to be a fun experience.  Bring your good ideas and sit at the table of the Service area that you feel strongest about.  See you Thursday.

This is YOUR Club & we need YOUR ideas!

This week at the Rotary Club of Corpus Christi, we had the pleasure of hearing from our Rotary Youth Exchange student, Michaela Vidova, who shared her journey and the impact of the program on her life.Michaela spoke about following in the footsteps of both her father and her sister, and how that path led her to an experience that has been nothing short of life-changing. From new cultures to new connections, she reflected on how grateful she is for every opportunity the Rotary Youth Exchange program has given her—and how those experiences will stay with her long after this year.We’re especially grateful to the students from Solomon Coles High School, who reminded us that there are many pathways to success. Their stories of resilience and determination in the face of challenges were truly moving.We also loved hearing from the students of Veterans Memorial High School, whose friendship and support for one another showed how powerful it is to have someone by your side. Their bond was a great example of how encouragement can open doors and create new opportunities.It was a meaningful meeting all around, made even more special with a surprise Lifetime Achievement Award presentation to Rotarian Mike Kershaw in recognition of his lasting impact and dedication.Moments like these are what make our Thursdays so special.If you’ve been looking for a way to connect, grow, and give back in Corpus Christi, we’d love to have you join us.
