UPCOMING EVENTS
Coffee Klatch
A coffee klatch is an informal social gathering for coffee and conversation, derived from the German Kaffeeklatsch, which translates to "coffee gossip". These gatherings foster community and connection for new Rotarians to get better acquainted with the club and its members. Contact Brian Congleton for more info.

Club Leadership Learning Seminar
This training event is designed for your club leadership team. There will be breakout sessions for each role specific job, such as Foundation, Membership, Community Service, Youth Services, Treasurer, and Secretary (etc). There will also be sessions on Rotary 101 for new members and Conflict resolution/Courageous Conversations for those wanting to sharpen their peace-building skills.
This event is free, but we do ask that Rotarians register so we have a head count for lunch. In addition, we have a few Host Families ready to provide lodging for one night to help reduce the cost of travel for those who are coming from the west side of the District. We are working on getting a discounted room rate for those who would like to stay over as well.
