Rotary Social Event

Jane is starting her presidency with a social event for members, guests and prospective members on Wednesday, August 18th at Flat Irons, 2540 Tenderfoot Hill (on Lake Avenue between I-25 and Highway 115), from 5:30 to 7:00 for only $6.00 a person for appetizers!! Be sure to come and enjoy the camaraderie with your old friends in our club as well as meeting our new members who are excited to get to know all of us. Please RSVP to Ken Schinstine to let him know if you will be there or sign up at the registration table at our meetings. It promises to be a great time at a new venue in town that is getting rave reviews – and is part of the Concept Restaurants (the locally owned group of restaurants that include: Jose Muldoons, MacKenzie’s Chop House, Southside Johnny’s, and The Ritz). See you there!

Rotary Club of Colorado Spring's Long Range Planning Team

Participants are needed for the Rotary Club of Colorado Spring's Long Range Planning Team. The club is currently in the process of forming a long range planning team to build on the information gathered during the Visioning Session in May.  This team will be responsible for developing a five year plan for the Rotary Club of Colorado Springs that will determine the future direction and focus of our club.   This team will have a significant impact on the future of our club.  Therefore, we need several people who are passionate about seeing our club prosper and grow over the next five years.   We are looking for a diverse group of participants, including long time members and newer members.  Participation in the Visioning Process is not a prerequisite to serving on this committee.  It would be great to have at least a few participants with some strong experience and knowledge in long range planning.  If this is you, we need your help!  If you are interested in participating please contact Jane Young at Jane_Y@msn.com

Non-Profit Table Guidelines

• A table will be established to display information about local non-profit events.  This table is designed to communicate local events and special announcements.  It is not to be used for day to day, routine promotion of an organization.   However, general information about an organization can by displayed once a year.
• A member of the Rotary Club of Colorado Springs must have an affiliation with the non-profit organization.  This is designed to provide a service to our members
• A sign-up sheet including the Rotarian's name, the non-profit organization and the nature of the literature must be completed before displaying literature.  The sign up sheet will be coordinated by the registration person.   We will remove any literature that appears on the table without being recorded by the registration person
• The event and the literature must be non religious and non political in nature.
• Program speakers can display information to clarify the subject of the official program.  All programs of a political nature will provide equal time to both sides and/or both candidates
• Any material left at the end of meeting will be disposed of by the Antler's staff.  We will not hold or store material.
• Members of the Rotary Board of Directors reserve the right to remove material that violates the guidelines listed above.
• We will implement this process on a trial basis through the end of October at which time we will decide if it should be continued indefinitely.   At the end of October the process will be evaluated by the club President, Director of Club Administration and the Director of Community Service and a recommendation will be brought to the entire board of directors.
• The President reserves the right to discontinue this process at any time between now and the end of October should the process result in significant controversy or disruption to club operations.
• A copy of the non-profit table registration sheets will be kept on file by the club secretary for one year.
