Just a friendly reminder that our District's 2nd Annual Spring RoundUp will be taking place next Saturday, May 5th! Everyone from our District is invited to attend and the event will again be held again right here in Summerland. Can't beat that!
 
The event will be held on Saturday, May 5th from 10 am - 2 pm with a social BBQ at Saxon Estate Winery at 2:30 pm. I attended the RoundUp last year and walked away with so many great ideas. Plus, you have the opportunity tp meet so many wonderful Rotarians from our District!
 
If you can, please register below in order to take part in this event. ALSO, please note - the cost of $35 will be covered by our Club. When registering, please indicate you will pay the registration fee by cheque and then provide the print out to our Treasurer, Doug Carnegie, so he can write one cheque on behalf of all of those attending.
 
Looking forward to this fun event! Hope you can join us!
 
Many thanks,
 
Chantelle
 
 
What?
Spring Roundup is an "Open Space" planning and action-item setting event that was started last year, and enjoyed by all that were there!  Check out details of last year's event on the District website at: Spring Roundup 2017.  Thanks to our local hosts the Rotary Club of Summerland for setting this up for us.

How?
Register (link-button below) and pay for the event ($35), and promote it to your club!  Groups have no restrictions about what they talk about, so come ready to share (and learn) some great ideas!  Best results will be achieved if 5-10 come from each club and cover several of the topic discussions.
 
 
Agenda
10:00-11:00     Group session - Facilitated
The "Open Space" Conference technique will be briefly described, and we will decide on our breakout topics that relate to the "Big Question" for the day, which is:
     How do we improve Membership: Attraction - Retention - Engagement??
 
11:00-1:00       Breakout – Discussion Leader
This will be for whomever is in each group to discuss “best practices”.  This is NOT TRAINING, rather this is collaborative development.  What has worked for your club? What can be done better?  A light lunch will be available during this time.
 
1:00-2:00         Group session – Facilitated
"Shop the Room".  This is where we get to explore all the action items that came out of the breakouts, and vote for our favorites.  Conclude the meeting portion of the day with facilitated group discussion about next steps… “The Big Rocks” in the jar!
 
2:30-5:00         Social get-together – the Roundup!
Our “host” Summerland Rotary Club will organize a BBQ “early dinner” gathering.  Local youth will serve, donation-fundraiser.
 
Cheers,
