Message
June 2010
Klinginsmith will ask Rotarians to apply "cowboy logic" and
make Rotary clubs "bigger, better, and bolder."
The fundamental principles of cowboy logic are taking pride in your
work, talking less and saying more, doing what has to be done, and
remembering that some things just aren’t for sale, he explained
during the closing plenary session.
"I believe the way for Rotary to remain viable and vibrant in the
next century is to help our clubs to be bigger, better, and bolder,"
Klinginsmith said. "The clubs are the life and breath of Rotary.
Therefore, it is clear to me that my job is to help the district governors
to help the clubs. We can do it, and we will do it, if all of us follow the
simple solution of cowboy logic."
Klinginsmith also listed improvements that he and the RI Board have
already authorized, including revisions to the RI Strategic Plan to make it
easier to implement and evaluate, a realignment of RI committees to fit the
revised plan, the recruitment of 41 Rotary coordinators, and a commitment
to finding new ways to attract younger members and enable them to serve as
district governors.
