"Long-range planning does not deal with the future decisions, but with the future of present decisions.” Peter Drucker
 
We set out to accomplish five main challenges this Rotary year and we've almost acheived all of them, along with so much more. This Thursday we will measure how we are doing and set a course to finish the 2016-2017 year strong. With three months to go, we have much more we can do to serve humanity.  However, more importantly continuous evaluation, planning, execution and measurement, the point of a club assembly in my view, will ensure that our club grows even stronger into the future.
 
As we had done at our last club assembly I'd ask for candid feedback for areas of improvement and new ideas. In fact, if you'd prefer to email in a question or concern in advance, please send your comments to my personal email (jeffmcelhaneyjr@gmail.com). I'll also provide the suggestion box sheets during Thursday's meeting. The leadership team will review these suggestions and seek to make appropriate changes to enhance the club.  
 
Thank you,
