CLUB NEWS:

SPAULDING TAKES JOB AS NORTH CAROLINA CC PRESIDENT

Longtime club member Dr. Carol Spaulding has been named president of Rowan-Cabarrus Community College outside of Charlotte, N.C. Carol, who has been president of the Open Campus of FCCJ and an active community leader, reports for duty in August. She is a former EVE Award winner for her service in regional education.

FCCJ President and club member, Dr. Steve Wallace said: “Dr. Spalding has made tremendous contributions to the success of FCCJ. She built one of the largest and most successful district learning programs in the country,” said Wallace, of the program that reaches 20,000 students annually. “Under her leadership, our military education institute became one of the largest providers of education and training for the United States Navy in the world.”

Jacksonville Rotary Club Online Forum

  It’s not a blog. It’s not a chat room (well, maybe a kind of chat room). It is an online forum for club members to sound off and sound out. As part of the Club’s expanding mission to become the most informed and involved community club in the region, the Jacksonville Rotary Club Forum has been added to our website – www.jaxrotary.org. Click on Forum on the menu line and you will be linked to this online club meeting.  

            The first thing you should do is register. Directions about how best to do this is on the reverse page.  

 

The Forum is a place to exchange your thoughts, ideas, comments, suggestions, questions, rants and raves. There is also a special set of forums for the club committees where ideas and assignments can be exchanged and  where non-committee members can add their comments.

 

AT THE PODIUM — Here is where you can follow up on the discussions and presentations of our speakers and programs. You can add your point of view, seek out answers to questions or suggest future programs or speakers.

 

TALK OF THE TABLE Just like Monday lunch at the Rotary Club, there is no structure to the talk around the table. You pick the topic or jump in on what’s being discussed.

 

CALENDAR Click on the menu item Calendar to check on scheduled club and district events or just to see if the meeting is cancelled or moved to another location.

 

If you have problems or questions, email: ForumMaster@jaxrotary.org
