Tom Very interesting question. My advice would be that there's a difference between walking up to the water's edge & getting your feet wet, and jumping into a...
I'd immediately slacken off the thumbscrews, and thank them for volunteering ... but seriously ... I'm a great believer in no one person being in a Rotary job...
Is it possible that Charles Snyderman Esquire is serious? Having served as Bulletin Editor in my club right from the day I joined (though I did have the...
Tom My advice would be to go for it. I had been a Rotarian for more than ten years when I began my stint as editor, but even so, I knew nothing about editing a...
Tom, I became bulletin editor six months after I joined Rotary. The job was unceremoniously dropped on my lap by another new member who thought he could do it....
I'm not really sure I am equipped to give much advice. My stint as newsletter editor began the day of my induction and is still in effect. There was nothing to...

Tom Interesting feedback. Whilst we all applaud Bobby's endeavours - a 24 page bulletin each week is a bit excessive. Most of us are NOT retired and have...
I agree with you Cheryl. I am very lucky to get my 4 pages in every week. And then do a really nice program for the Annual banquet. Of course we only have 65...
Cheryl, Though your posting was directed towards Tom, I believe you were talking about our bulletin. Thank you for your comments however I would like to...
