 Its time for our club to update its Constitution and By-Laws. Dave Gott, Jeff Larsen and I have been working on this for several months. Our current governance document was originally adopted way back in 2003, with some minor modifications in 2014. In the meantime, Rotary International has revised the Standard Club Constitution (which are required to adopt) and a template for our by-laws. The by-laws is a document that sets forth the way the club operates. We can modify the template to fit the unique way Metro operates. It outlines such things as quorum requirements, membership procedures, committee structure, officer and director responsibilities, annual elections, financial accountability, and more. Some items are highlighted just to attract your attention. The proposed document can be found by clicking here. Please review it carefully and let us know if you have any questions. We'll discuss it briefly at an upcoming meeting and then vote on it. The Board of Directors has approved it, but the membership must also approve it. |
We will be assembling snack bags for our Community Schools (including Garfield Elementary) to distribute to Homeless and Low Income Students. This snack bag assembly project can be done in the comfort of your own home. For those who want to do the assembly project with fellow Rotarians, we will be gathering at the conference room in Will Ellsworth’s Northwestern Mutual office on the 5th Floor of the Boise Plaza 1111 West Jefferson Street. Join us starting at 12 Noon on February 9th. Please wear a mask and respect social distancing protocols in the building. This will also be the place you can drop off the finished bags that you assembled at home.
