Old Business:
The Club Members in attendance continued discussion on the format and location of meetings
when the new club comes into being on July 1, 2019. One decision was made that the new
club name would be A/V Rotary - Morning, Noon & Night (Palmdale). Another topic was the
content of meetings for weeks 1-4. Suggestions included week 1 Board Meeting (evening),
week 2 (noontime), week 3 (Club Business – evening) and week 4 (morning). It was
suggested that week 5 be set up for a social meeting at various locations to help recruit new
members and promote fellowship. All the suggested meeting formats and times will need to be
voted on by the Members. Work has started on preparing the new Bylaws for the Club.
