DG ROLLS OUT HIS GOALS AT WESTFIELD - MAYVILLE
District 7090 Governor Kevin J. Crosby’s goal is “to learn more about you,” he said after being introduced to the Rotary Club of Westfield/Mayville members.Welcomed by board members early, then followed by sharing lunch with all members, Crosby clarified the meaning of his objective for 2015-16. In plain words, he asked, “Are there things I can do to help you? I’m here to work for you; that’s my main goal.”
Noting that he wants to encourage more women to join Rotary clubs, Crosby then added eight definite objectives he has set for himself. He would like to see more collaboration among clubs, a “Food Truck” model for providing resources to clubs, greater use in leveraging technology for education, programs and tools to encourage those unfamiliar with Rotary to learn more about it, encourage innovation, expand development of young leaders, promote long-term strategic planning and support for the Rotary foundation to end polio.
Crosby’s major premise is the Meaning of Life. He illustrated that theme near the end of his visit with “What gives your life meaning at this moment?” After noting, “You and your club are what Rotary is,” he concluded with his goal: “Every club will be stronger, more vibrant and growing.”
Before Westfield/Mayville Rotary Club President Adele Harrington closed the meeting, Jim Wakeman, the club’s Foundation chair, presented Crosby with a $1000 check for The Rotary Foundation’s Annual Programs Fund. Crosby also was given a $100 check in his name for the fund.
