ROTARY SURVEY

 

President Daryl asked that I put the following communication from the District Governor in the Rowel:

 

Hello Club Presidents, Secretaries and District Leaders:

 We need your help. We are planning for a future District Conference, and we need Rotarian Feedback. 

 The District has contracted with ServiceQuality.US to conduct a survey because your opinion counts. 

We ask you and every Rotarian you know, every Rotarian in your Club to take the survey.  Can you help us? 

To take this brief survey, just go to:   http://rotary5160.2009.servicequality.us

Based on the results of the survey, we will go forth and find a location that meets as many of the criteria as possible.

Please pass this survey on to your Membership.  Sooner is better because we need to get started with the planning. 

 

Thank you,   

Laura Day, Lt. Gov for DG Stan Smalley.
