Rotary Rendezvous
In 2017, the Rotary Club of Lancaster began having alternative meetings twice each month.
On the second and fourth Wednesday each month, all are welcome to join us for Rotary Rendezvous. We meet at Stoner Grille; social time is 5:00 pm and the meeting begins promptly at 5:30 p.m. The meeting usually features a facilitated with an outstanding speaker. There's no cost for the meeting. Food and drink are on your own.
The meeting has two purposes: one to encourage attendance by new and existing members that may not be able to attend every Wednesday noon meeting and two, to provide an easy way for people make ups meetings.
The format offers more flexibility. The setting is intended to be a more social. Each Rendezvous begins with the program. After the program each attendee has the option of ordering from the menu if he or she chooses to do so.
That is one of the ideas behind our Rotary Rendezvous meetings — two additional, if less formal, evening meetings per month on the second and fourth Wednesdays. Among their purposes is to allow greater attendance flexibility for both existing and prospective members. The hope is that they will help improve member engagement in Club activities, provide additional fellowship activities, and enhance opportunities for those who cannot attend luncheon meetings.
The Club hopes that with these events, in addition to our strong weekly meetings with wonderful programs, it can introduce a new generation of Rotarians to an organization that has greatly served our community and world, all while enhancing their personal and professional lives.
We will need to explore other new ideas as we go, making continual adjustments as we introduce to each new generation the opportunities inherent in community service.
The venue for Rendezvous has been Stoner Grill.
