EARL KILMER, District 5160 Governor, a native of Fairfield, presented Sandi with a bottle of wine he produced [no one inquired how it was crushed] for her to open on July 1.

Earl then said the there will be three new clubs in the district bringing the total to 70. He told of the remarkable turn-a-round of the Winters club and encouraged each of us to bring one guest to a meeting before July 1. This has produced many new members!

He shared RI’s goal of increasing each club’s membership by 1 person. That would increase RI total +33,000 members.

Earl asked us to think of the ABC’s of successful clubs.
A Activities
B Bodies [membership growth]
C Cash [to enable projects worldwide]
