Service / Fun / Recognition / Shine a Light
District Meeting - Sunday, January 21, 2017
2nd Vice District Governor Update

I have been busy assisting the Governor and the District with the Executive team, Madison New Member Initiative, Region Meeting presentations, the Quality Club Initiative and Convention planning. I have also been active making a presence and visiting clubs in Regions one and two.

• • Overall I am very happy with the activity levels of the Clubs. The clubs are active in their communities making an impact.

• ○ For the two Regions we have had 713 activities (about 34 per club)
  ○ For the two Regions we have served 105095 persons

• • Membership is a concern. For Regions one and two we are currently down 29 members. There are primarily four clubs driving this: Cross Plains -5, Deforest -7, Marshall -7 and UW Campus club -11. Only 4 clubs have an increase in membership: Lake Wisconsin +1, Pardeeville +2, Token Creek +4 and Waunakee +2.

I have visited 15 of the 21 clubs in Regions one and two about 71%. The remaining 6 clubs have all been contacted with four meeting schedules and two clubs remaining to schedule. I have enjoyed each club I have visited. I have stressed the positives of the clubs. My talk has centered on: We Serve (accomplishments of the club); member experience in two ways recognition and making meeting fun, and strengthening clubs through shinning a light on the clubs (letting communities know what we do). I have been challenging clubs to increase membership by two members and start a new service activity.

As for Zone two Region one where I am acting at zone chair only one club has positive membership, Mt. Horeb. I have visited each club with the exception of Middleton which is to be scheduled.
