The Rotary Club of Akron’s Board of Directors met on Tuesday, August 18th and the following items were discussed:
Immediate Past President Shon Christy announced that the Akron Rotary Club received the 2015 Summit for Kids Organization Award.  The award was presented at their annual luncheon on August 14th. The award recognizes an organization that has made a significant contribution to children/youth in the areas of social services, education or humanitarian services.
 
Directors discussed processes for considering service projects, funding requests and Rotary events.  All agreed the most important aspect of a process is engaging Akron Rotarians and helping them achieve their goals of service and camaraderie.   Dan Reynolds reported that prior Club, Camp & Foundation leadership envisioned a joint committee tackling the issue of funding.  Current leaders will be asked to convene a meeting.  Jen Halcomb offered to share a form with Directors that will help coordinate events.   Akron Rotary is growing in influence and reach!  These processes will help us manage and communicate our great work!
