The Program

Our program was presented by Cindy Luedtke from the Los Altos Rotary club. She presented a summary of our Visioning  session a few weeks ago.  She presented our three top choices in each area of our organization. 

The first step to building a 5-year plan is to establish the vision.  Next is the Long Range Plan, then actions.  The visioning format was to prepare a letter to the Rotary International in 2014 and explain what our club is doing and what it looks like.
