VOCATIONAL SERVICES COMMITTEE RENO ROTARY 2016-17
Our guest speaker Guy Clifton regaled the Club in stories of Jack Dempsey’s connection to and life in Reno. Lots of pictures and stories which led to a great Q&A period that many of our older members remembered or played a role.
All! We’re really going to showcase our senior members AND our junior members with the goal of establishing mentorships. Our retired and senior members have wonderful backgrounds and experience which make them not just wonderful Rotarians but great sounding boards as well as to share their insights for our members who are still growing their businesses or careers. We’ll meet once a month (perhaps twice in the first 30 days) and divide up the directory to get our members involved. We will showcase both our senior members and our members who are prospective mentees at the Rotary meetings. If you are interested in joining the committee to make this happen, please contact Chair Diana Hoffman at (775)682-1777 or email hoffman.diana@gmail.com .
