Strategic Plan

The draft of the Strategic Plan was sent out by President Ryan Lee last week (4/23/24). 

Ryan invites you to contribute your thoughts on the attached draft, as well as take a stab at what our Plattsburgh Rotary Club's values and vision statement should be. 
 

On Monday, May 20th, starting at 12pm, the Board will meet at MHAB to review feedback and begin work toward a final draft. All club members are welcome to attend and participate. Feel free to contact Ryan Lee directly with your feedback or any questions you may have.

Our annual Rotary District Conference is coming up on May 3rd-5th in Clayton, NY (https://rotary7040.com/sitepage/discon-2024). During this event, there is a silent auction to help raise funds for the Rotary Foundation. President Ryan will be contributing a cutting board to help with the effort. If you'd like to contribute, please bring your item to our Wednesday meeting on May 1st. Our Area Governor, Martha Spear, will be in attendance to collect all donations. 

RYLA

The RYLA Conference is scheduled for 5/24-5/26 at RKY Camp in Parham, Ontario. 
To send a student to RYLA, there are several steps our club must follow. If you would like to be part of the RYLA committee, please Ryan to confirm your interest. We will set up an initial meeting to organize and take action toward the necessary steps of selecting a student (or two) who can attend.
