Past District Governor Sue Poss was this weeks program at the Newport Rotary Club. PDG Poss, a resident of Greenville, South Carolina and Past Governor in District 7550, entertained the club with highlights of her Rotary District, Rotary Club and her town of residence, Greenville, SC.
Rotary District 7750 comprises 55 Rotary clubs in the western half of South Carolina, excluding Columbia. The District is a major advocate of the CART Project (Coins for Alzheimer Research Trust) and has had major projects in Haiti during the past several years, including projects involving HungerPlus, and sustainability projects. Newport Rotary has been involved with many of these or similar projects.
Her Rotary Club, the Greenville East Rotary Club, is comparable in size to the Newport club, being 24 members. They have many of the same concerns and issues that Newport Rotary has regarding the size and nature of their projects, and fundraising. She described the Greenville SC metropolitan area with pride, and told the club also about the Greenville SC Rotary Club, which was established before the uniform rules went into effect requiring weekly meetings, thus meeting only twice a month with its 375 members.
PDG Poss, a Zone 33 Regional Membership Assistant, was guest of Newport Rotarian Bevin Wall, and was in town for two Rotary-related conferences, one on Membership Development & Strategic Planning, and the for The Rotary Leadership Institute.
