Foundation AND Membership Day!
This year’s Foundation Day is scheduled for Chamberlain, SD on Saturday, November 5th. We will have general sessions and then separate tracks for Foundation and Membership. We are bringing in two engaging Rotarians (see below for their bios) from outside the District who are sure to get everyone fired up about all of the good work that Rotary does in the world. All Rotarians in the District are encouraged to attend, especially Club Foundation and Membership Chairs, as well as Club Presidents and Presidents Elect. 2017 is the 100th birthday of the Rotary Foundation, so there will be lots of excitement and awareness of the Rotary Foundation in the upcoming year. This event will be held at the AmericInn Conference Center in Chamberlain (1981 E. King St., Chamberlain, SD 57325, phone (605)734-0985.) We will start at 8:30 on Saturday morning, and will end at 3:30 on Saturday afternoon, which will give most everyone time to drive home on Saturday. A block of rooms has been reserved at a group rate of $89.99/night. Reservations must be made by October 5th to get this rate. If you need more information about this event, please contact Joe Mauss, District Rotary Foundation Chair (joe.mauss@midco.com, or 605-610-5035.)
This event is open to all Rotarians in the District. Presidents, Presidents-Elect, and Club Rotary Foundation Chairs are especially encouraged to attend. Click on the District Foundation Day event link to register for this event.

Membership Trainer
Membership Cadre trainer will be Dr. Phil Moss, a past district governor of District 5770 in Oklahoma. Holding a doctorate in Adult & Higher Education, Moss has served faculty, staff, and students across Oklahoma. He says he is “comfortable in education and training settings.”
Agenda for the membership training will include six separate sessions: Telling Your Rotary Story; The Rotary Trilogy; Club Dynamics Impact Membership & Retention; Setting Realistic Goals & Making Plans to Achieve Them; Engaging the Next Generation in Rotary; and Putting It All Together – Accelerate Club Membership Growth!
“Whether local or global, Rotary is able to do things that are making the world better,” Moss says. Moss and his wife Peggy are members of the Norman Cross Timbers Rotary Club. His annual ratings as a facilitator at Lone Star PETS are consistently among the highest given.
