Drew Carey, popular host of such memorable shows as Who's Line Is It Anyway and The Price is Right, isn't a member of Farmington Rotary. Bummer. Because he would be the most awesome meeting host ever! But until he joins, club members will continue acting as hosts for our weekly meetings. This responsibility is critically important to creating meetings that are organized, welcoming and informative. So what does that mean for you?
Each Rotarian is assigned to one month a year to be a meeting host. Newer Rotarians are always scheduled to host with longer-tenured Rotarians so there is someone to mentor those who haven't hosted before. Meeting hosts arrange for speakers for their assigned month, plus they arrive to meetings early for setup and stay after for cleanup. And monthly hosts are expected to communicate with each other about the plans for their month, plus arrange for someone to take your place as host if you cannot be at a meeting. The time commitment is about an hour a week for one month each year. Easy peasy! Specific instructions and responsibilities are detailed on an instruction guide found in the plastic file box kept in the closet at Celt's.
Heidi, our current club admin chair, emails meeting hosts two-to-three months in advance so you can plan speakers for your month. She also makes several announcements at meetings throughout the year. And meeting hosts for the up-coming months are listed each week in the Source. If you are unsure which month you are scheduled for, or what you're supposed to do, please reach out to Heidi, Linda or your co-hosts for the month.
Linda and Heidi have taken over the hosting duties for March. Hosts for upcoming months are as follows:
- April: Jay and Lori
- May: Rachelle, Kyle, Don and Brian
- June: Krysia, Steve and Barb
Thank you for your service to the club and your fellow Rotarians.
