District Governor Jacque Andrew made her official visit to the Rotary Club of Ankeny on October 1st.   Her visit started with Nate Burnham giving her a tour of Ankeny and viewing several of the projects our club has completed or sponsored in recent years.   Upon returning to the Ankeny Golf & Country Club, she met with several members of our board of directors.  After her presentation, Sally Schroeder presented her with a gift from the club, an Isabel Bloom turkey.
 

Jacque presented several items for the board to consider including:

  • We should review our By-Laws and update them if necessary.

  • Our club should be able to qualify for a Presidential Citation.

  • This is the 25th year for women being admitted to Rotary.

  • We need to spend more time on retaining members.

  • We should consider a vocational activity such as having members talk about their professions at meetings.

  • The 2014 district conference will be May 2nd and 3rd  in Ames.

  • The Bunny Harper Golf Tournament will be on May 1st as part of the conference.

  • PETS will be March 7 & 8, 2014 in Rochester, Minnesota
