The journey for D7980’s newest Club, the Haddam-Killingworth (H-K) Rotary Club, began last night with a strategy planning meeting at La Foresta Restaurant in Killingworth CT.
10 people gathered last night to begin the planning process for getting the Provisional Haddam-Killingworth Rotary Club chartered as a fill fledged Club.
Community leaders from Haddam and Killingworth expressed interest in having a Rotary Club in their town(s) to help address need which are currently going unmet.
Co-Presidents Annie Gill Stirna and Nelson Vincenty will navigate the Provisional Club through the Charter process which will begin with a membership drive as the Club must have at least 20 members before they can be Chartered as a Rotary Club.
The Club will be part of Area 10 (Jack Solomon, Assistant Governor) once Chartered. Jack and I will guide and mentor the Provisional Club through the process.
The Provisional Club will a hold super-sized ‘Meet & Greet’ on Jan 21, 2015 for prospective members (more information to follow).
The members of the Clinton Rotary Club (Area 8) have voted to sponsor the H-K Rotary Club.
