Pre-Pets February 2, 2008
by Jessica von Goeler
In four hours, president-elects for the 47 clubs in the District had a glimpse of being a club President.
- We learned to drink warm water while running a meeting.
- We were given a ton of manuals and found out there was just about one for everything in Rotary.
- We saw live demonstrations of good and bad Rotary meetings.
- We got excited for upcoming Rotary events, such as the World Peace and Understanding Dinner.
- We found out about our remarkable 2008-09 Group Study Exchange partnership.
- We spent time with our District Leadership Team and fellow Club Presidents.
- We had ideas.
The best part of pre-PETS, I saw so much to be proud of in the Rotary Club of Arlington
- Our membership is strong.
- We are active on the district level supporting RYLA, GSE, Ambassadorial Scholars, Youth Exchange, Rotaplast, and more.
- Our meetings are productive.
- We have great community events including the upcoming Pot O' Gold fund-raiser.
- Our website is up to date
- We have a great partnership with Arlington's Interact Club
- Our work helps people all over the world
2008-09 is going to be a great year! There is so much we can do. I can't wait for PETS!
