Marana Rotary Club

This morning, Rodney and Amanda got up bright and early to attend the Marana Rotary Club's weekly meeting. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet civic and community minded residents and business owners who are dedicated to the betterment of the Town. It's a great group of people.

The meeting started with presentations of guests and any new members. Club membership has almost doubled in recent months. We were the agenda for the final 20 minutes of the meeting. Rodney began with an overview of why we have a Strategic Plan and outlined the Town's outreach strategy. Amanda talked about the changes that have been made and the overall update process, including retreats for staff and Council. Each club member present was given a handout with accomplishments, Focus Areas, Goals and Overriding Principles. This is a great general reference sheet. We have been handing them out at our outreach events.

There were great questions regarding plans for transportation and working with the RTA, as well as providing support for the Marana Rotary from the Town. Overall, it was a job well done, and a great way to continue our outreach.

There are many more organizations and boards to visit and a community open house at Wheeler Taft Abbett Library on Feb. 23 at 6 p.m. We hope to see many of our residents and business owners during this month of presentations.
