The Board of Directors for the Akron Rotary Club met on Tuesday, December 8th.  Directors heard a presentation from representatives from Akron Public Schools regarding partnership opportunities.  The idea of an in-depth collaboration seemed a natural progression to the Dictionary Project.
 
Rotarian Chaz Billington will head a committee that will work closely with the Akron Public School (APS) to determine the scope of the partnership.  It is our hope that club funding and district funding will be used to kickoff this fantastic new service project for Akron Rotary.
 
Four new members were presented by Membership Chair Steve Shechter.  All had strong applications and had great “intersations” (interview/conversation!) with committee members.  All four were approved.
 
Chili Open Chair Jeff Sitz announced that Chili Open tickets have arrived!  Rotarians are asked to be actively engaged in selling tickets between now and February 6th!  As shared by Bill Manby at the luncheon—they also make great stocking stuffers!
 
Directors voted to cancel the Tuesday, December 29th Rotary Luncheon since so many had indicated they’d be unable to attend due to holiday travel or festivities.
 
Directors were reminded of upcoming December activities:
  • Christmas Party at SUPER Learning Center on December 17th.  Santa arrives around 11:45 and festivities go until 3:15 pm.  “Attending will change your life, declared Bill Manby, Sr. at our weekly luncheon!  Don’t miss out on making a difference in a child’s life.
  • December 22nd Holiday Luncheon being held at Concordia at Sumner!  It starts at 11:30 a.m. and promises to be a great event!  Be sure to RSVP by December 15th!
The next meeting of the Rotary Club of Akron Board of Directors will be Tuesday, January 12th at 11:00 a.m. at Portage Country Club.
