The Rotary eClub of Houston board established goals for the continuation and growth of the club during the online August Board meeting.   The five goals outlined include:    
 
-   Expand global access and global impact through online meetings, for education, membership development, as well as club operations for worldwide membership.  
 
-     Clarify our web presence through more robust web site adding eClub url and links to Rotary information, service projects, meetings and forums connecting members worldwide in a more integrated approach.  
 
   -   Identify and document procedures for the selection, implementation and marketing of service projects to increase structure and sustainability, while identifying and supporting interests of global members.  
 
-   Increase communications and marketing with new logo, project fliers, newsletter expansion with member contributions and integration with social media technologies.
 
-      Increase collaboration with other Rotary Clubs and the District through projects that unite and build on the local work of our worldwide Rotary members working together to create global impact.
 
It is my hope that each of you will think about the gift that you bring to the world through Rotary and that at this time, this year, you share your gift as we build on the great work of Rotarians around the globe.     There are already discussions and plans for service projects like the Ride to End Polio, Assistance for Education in Mexico, Scholarships for Nicaragua, and many more.   Let us know your interests, your passion, your gift and let's make the world a better place starting today through Rotary.   
 
I look forward to hearing from each of you and working with all of you this year.   Thank you for the honor of serving.  
 
Linda Caruso, President
