Our program on July 10th was the Rotary Club of Excelsior’s new President Nick Wegleitner discussing his priorities for the Rotary year of 2018-19. His first priority is to focus on the Brand Exposure of our club. Nick wants to improve our club’s exposure in the community. He said, “Our club is the best held secret in Excelsior.” Club identity and visibility are important components that we will work on this year if we wish to be a club that endures into the future.
President Nick’s second priority is to grow our organization. He says if we want to continue as a club we have to grow our membership.” How will we do that? Nick says that we and that means every member has to go out and find the right people who will make the commitment to being regular members and appeal to potential members of all age groups but especially young professionals. And then, he goes on to say that we need to be the inspiration in our community so that people see that we are really doing things and create some excitement about our club.
His third priority is to maximize our impact on the community. This means to co-op with the AM club on events; create avenues for 
fundraising and sponsor community events; keep doing what we do well like STRIVE, the Dictionary Project, Many Hands – Many Meals; and then to go and create new avenues where we can be successful. Beyond the three priorities Nick noted that we need to be open to change and get up and go for it this year.
