Rotary Electric has submitted our Articles of Incorporation to the State of Montana and once processed we'll be working to establish our banking accounts and relationships within the month. We are also working to expand our public website, add event registration, and expand our online social networking. Please remember that guest are always welcome at Rotary Electric events.
Membership applications are now being reviewed for founding / charter members. 5 applications were approved Nov 11th by the Board of Directors. Please welcome Annie Brown, Jared Brown, Jordyn Rodgers, Hillary Shepherd, and Spencer Woith to The Rotary Electric Club of Great Falls as charter members. We have 14 members migrating from Rotary Noon and we are waiting on 9 applications yet. We will start marketing the club in 2021 and we need to be very cautious given Covid 19 cases in and around Great Falls. We are always looking for your ideas and feedback.
If you have any news (personal, professional, or about Rotary) that you would like to share in this weekly newsletter please submit the information to clubofficers@rotaryelectric.org.
This is our first weekly newsletter and we will further develop this newsletter over time. If you have any comments, thoughts, or recommendations please share.
Sincerely
