Monday’s Program Students in the MIS Program Most Improved Student Achievement Beyond Obstacles

The Rotary Most Improved Student Program is a collaboration with the Reno South Club (founder), the Rotary Club of Sparks and the Rotary Club of Reno.

These students are seniors who will be graduating this spring, having overcome challenging obstacles in their lives to reach this milestone. Thirty students have been selected by their Principals and Counselors for their achievement and have an opportunity to receive scholarship money from the sponsoring Rotary Clubs.

We will hear from about 10 students who attend Bishop Manogue, Reno, McQueen, Innovations, Rainshadow and TMCC, each speaking for about 2-4 minutes about their experiences. The students will have spent a weekend with Leadership Trainers Dean and Rochelle, preparing to share their story. Bring Kleenex. This is one of the most moving and inspirational meetings you will ever attend.

Potential New Members The following individuals have been approved for membership by the Board of Directors of the Rotary Club of Reno, and have completed orientation. If you have any comments on the proposed memberships in the Rotary Club of Reno, please submit them in writing to the Club Secretary.

Club Board Club Board Meeting – April 14, 4:30 pm, Sunshine Reporting Services, 151 Country Estates, Reno.

The Paul Harris Fellowships awarded at recent meetings are to recognize Rotarians who contribute a total of $1000 to The Rotary Foundation. That $1000 does not have to be a single gift--it may represent several gifts donated over a few years. But each time your contributions reach a $1000 mark, you receive another Paul Harris Fellowship, and another pin to recognize your generosity. Our club has many members with Paul Harris Fellowships, and for many years was a 100% PHF Club, meaning EVERY member in the club had earned at least one Paul Harris Fellowship. We would certainly like to earn that club recognition again!

The Paul Harris Society is something different. A Paul Harris Society member agrees to contribute $1000 every year to The Rotary Foundation. The agreement is not a binding contract--a Paul Harris Society member might have a financial

and represents a real commitment to the good work Rotary does throughout the world. Our club currently has 32 Paul Harris Society members.

To join the Paul Harris Society, contact club coordinator Gary Bullis or club TRF chair Anne-Louise Bennett. You will be asked to sign a pledge sheet, and as a Society member you will be invited to participate in special District PH Society events. Best of all, you’ll know your philanthropic dollars are going to sustainable projects that benefit people around the globe. The Rotary Foundation is ranked 93rd by the Chronicle of Philanthropy out of the 1.2 million charities in the USA. And Charity Navigator, an organization that rates the efficiency of charities on financial overhead vs. sustainability and benefit of projects, gives The Rotary Foundation four stars, its top rating.

Makes you proud to be a Rotarian, doesn’t it?

All members are welcome to attend.

How To Introduce Your Guests And New Members At A Club Meeting

Colin Robertson (center) receives his Blue Badge from his sponsor Jim Pfrommer (left) and President Curt.

When introducing a guest or new members during a Club meeting, the correct way is to greet the Club President, fellow Rotarians and guests, introduce yourself and state your classification, and then introduce your guest, their title and business affiliation. Please do not introduce any guest as a prospective new member or that they are looking for a position or clients.
