The Akron Rotary’s Board of Directors met on March 10th.  President Shon Christy reported that he is gathering information to submit for the AZ Baker and President’s Citation awards to highlight the great works of Akron Rotary since July, 2014.  He is also working with President-elect Sandy Naragon to plan a leadership retreat on May 9th.  Grants Chair Sarah Buccigross attended the District Grant seminar qualifying the club to seek district grants during 2015-16.  Directors reviewed the new Rotary logo and branding.   The PR Committee will be debuting it in the coming weeks.  Rotary Foundation Chair Bill Manby, Sr. reported that the committee is gearing up to recruit the next class of Paul Harris Fellows and lottery participants.  Dan Reynolds has negotiated a new meal deal with Portage Country Club and Rotarians will be able to begin participating in April. 
 
Kaley Foster, Chair of Service Projects, gave an overview of the current projects—Rotary volunteers, especially men role models, are needed to volunteer with the Salvation Army After-School Reading program on Mondays from 4-5 pm.  Rotarians deliver meals for Mobile Meals typically the second Saturday of the month—great opportunity to engage children of all ages to service above self!
