Do you know of someone with an interesting story, an interesting career, or maybe somebody that has been somewhere unique?
This year, I, Jason, your incoming president, want to look out into our Community and find some interesting speakers and topics; the more unique the better. The one thing that I have seen during my short time with Rotary thus far, is that when it comes to speakers, we tend to hear quite a bit from local charities, philanthropic needs, and fundraising requests. As a club, we certainly want to support as many charities as possible and we do very good at this, however, I also feel we need to diversify our speaker program. I want to hear from the guys at Ribstone Creek about their brewery, I want to hear from somebody that is more into drones than I am, I want to hear about someone's unique hobby, I want to hear from Jim over at Rock Creek on how he decided to jump into that type of business.
These are just examples that I thought of while typing this little piece and I'm quite sure there are many other ideas out there. If you have any, please share them with me and we will try and fit in as many as possible.
