A BRIEF WORD FROM PRESIDENT DONNA GEHRINGER
Here is just a little note for this week's Bulletin:
WOW! What a great turnout for our Club meeting last Friday! 42 members were on hand to help plan the best MITT ever. That's 67.74% attendance - well done everybody! There were only 6 pieces of French Toast left and 5 pieces of bacon.
Let's do it again this week as we continue our focus on MITT. Great minds + many hands + lots of planning = a fantastic party! (That's Rotary Math.)
Build your skills; boost your potential in Rotary and in the world.
The new Leadership Fundamentals program can help Rotary and Rotaract members build the skills they'll need to take on leadership roles. This online program presents key leadership skills and is available through Rotary's Learning Center only for members.
In this program, members will learn to:
{ } Lead and motivate others { } Build consensus and inclusive environment { } Create a positive team environment { } Recognize the strengths in others { } Delegate responsibilities { } Understand, manage, and resolve conflict
{ } Create and deliver effective speeches and presentations
This program also features questions that participants can discuss in a community forum and assignments that let them apply what they've learned. Participants identify their leadership strengths, then learn how to use them to be more effective.

Were you one of those kids in school, sitting by yourself, eating a lunch out of a brown paper bag while all the other kids around you seem to have bought their lunches? Well you no longer have to eat alone, at least not on TUESDAYS in JANUARY with LSRC.
Meet with your fellow Rotarians and their family and friends in Downtown Howell at Corrati's Pizzeria. Park out back, or along Grand River, if you get lucky.
Invite your extended Rotary Family [aka spouses], friends or co-workers. Or a member you haven't seen lately! This is one of the things that makes LSRC so special! SO, EACH ONE BRING ONE.
Greeters MUST arrive no later than7:15 AM and assist members to set up, hand out name badges, welcome guests and identify visiting Rotarians. Smile! Make EVERYONE feel welcome. Introduce them to other members.
