Secretary’s
Corner_11142012
Our Club had four (4) meetings for the month of October and
our average attendance was only at 55%. There were nine (9) members who failed
to attend a single club meeting for the month. Already that’s a glaring 27%
reduction in our attendance rating.
To help improve our numbers, the Club resolved to implement
the “Buddy” system where members who regularly attend, will be assigned a
member who is frequently absent to personally remind and entice said member to
attend our meetings. Every meeting, the “Buddies” will be asked to report
whether the member assigned to him is “present” or if still absent, the Buddy
will report why his assigned member is still absent.
The nine (9) members with zero attendance in October and
their respective Buddies are:
Joe Castro - Gina Sanchez
Macy Chan - Doray Giorla
Gil Ilagan - Pepe Peralta
Baby Macatangay - E.G. Lim
Noel Mesina - Gina Sanchez
Ompong Ordanez - Gina Sanchez
Belle Sinense - Gina Sanchez
Teddy Tan - Pepe Peralta
David Taningco - Tony Abola
We have also noted members who have attended just One (1) or
Two (2) meetings for the month. These members comprise another 20% of our total
membership. Their presence can greatly influence our Club’s attendance rating
if only they can make an extra effort to come to our meetings more often.
Aside from the Buddy System, AG Doray Giorla suggested that we resume the Indian Stick method of selecting speakers amongst our members. This suggestion was carried and schedules will be prepared by our Club Administration Director, IPP Nan Sallan.
It should be noted that moving our weekly meetings in the
evening for the month of November was supposed to improve our attendance.
However, only 13 members were present for last week’s meeting. As discussed, we
will evaluate our Club’s attendance rating after one month and implement
measures at getting our numbers up for future meetings.
Cheers and enjoy RotaryJ
