At our July first meeting, President John Murphy shared with us his vision for his administration. He noted how honored he was to be president, and reminded members about their "obligations" as defined by Club bylaws: "To attend meetings regularly; to pay my dues promptly, to do my part when called upon, and to be a big-hearted, broad-minded person — a person of energy and action — a Rotarian." Doing good while having fun, or having fun while doing good. That's why John's in Rotary, which ties into Rotary International's theme this year: "Serve to Change Lives." Committee chairs for the year were announced: Program Committee: Shaun Heimann (He'll use Rotary's seven areas of focus as the skeleton to organize our year. Contact him with your program ideas.) Auction Committee: Robert Harrison, Brooks Sherman and Alex Reczkowski Rotary Club of Pittsfield Foundation President: John Perreault Strategic Planning: John Perreault Benevolence Committee: John Hudnall and Shaun Heimann. Membership Committee: Jay Marion Club Communications Committee: Kelly Marion Fellowship Committee: John McLaughlin Sergeant at Arms: John O'Brien Club Sunshine Committee: Adrienne DeBlieux-Speed |
