Governor Sandy Schley's Visit to the Board

Newly elected Rotary District Governor Sandy Schley met with the Excelsior Rotary Club on Tuesday, July 28^th at the Bay View Conference Center in Excelsior. Schley is a member of the Edina Club and formerly a teacher and administrator and then went into the computer industry as Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Computer Law Systems.

The Governor met with the Board of Directors prior to the Club meeting and stressed the importance of members reaching beyond our own clubs and out in to the community to tell the story of Rotary.  She was impressed with the programs and activities of the Excelsior Rotary Club and made numerous suggestions she has picked-up from other clubs that will help the club get its message out to our community.  "The first thing we as Rotarians need to do is always wear our Rotary Pins," says Schley.  The Governor goes on to say, "You never know what doors will be opened to you if you wear your pin and I noticed that only a few had their pins on today!"  Schley continued by going through each of President Glover's goals for 2009-2010 and stressed the importance of getting every member involved and on a committee for the coming year and to use our website to let members what is going on and to get more coverage in area newspapers.
