Last Week’s Program:  on September 11th was a review of our club’s five- year old five-year plan, with President Tim Litfin reviewing the salient points of the current program. Further discussions will be held and the present plan will be updated at a future club assembly.

President Tim pointed out that the club had never formulated a mission statement, and there were three sample statements included in the printed packet we were given. He then reviewed the entire document, which covered our vision of five years ago.

Our stated goals for each of the avenues of service were listed in some detail with special emphasis on Club Service.

The next steps in the process are to have the club members provide input as to changes in the document, draft a new vision statement, and present it to the club in a future club assembly.

Future Programs:

October 2        District Governor Bob Stowell

October 9        Cathy Maes – ICA Free Clinic
