2007-2008 President’s Goals

From ME Riley, 2007-2008
Rotary Club of Eugene Airport President

Airport Rotary has enjoyed a wide range of success for it’s relatively short life. Our continued success depends on our ability to keep many irons in the fire.

Rotary is about raising MONEY!

Our major fundraisers have been profitable for our projects and remarkable to other clubs and the community. We must continue our efforts to raise money for current and future projects. We need to set our sights high and dream big.

We have, in our club, a great mix of experienced members and new blood, a good combination for growth. Growth is essential to the life of any organization and ours is no exception. Our job is to find new qualified members and then keep them active.

Even a small company can do big things with the right communication connecting it to the larger world. A good public relations program will touch our members, potential members, community leaders and their wallets. Recognition makes us real and is essential to our club growth.

We are a cog in a very large wheel; the wheel is in motion. Let us hang on and gather momentum with all the other cogs until Rotary values and practices are a part of everyday business practices, political practices and everyday, everybody practices.

The measurement of our club will be in the number of lives that we touch the children we inspire to be leaders, and the height of the road we choose to take.

I do believe that we can see an end to hunger, poverty and war in our lifetime. We have to do our part, hold up our end of the deal, share the workload and dream big.

PEACE is the goal
ROTARY is the vehicle.
