AMBASSADOR'S CO-CHAIRMEN: RANDY OLSON 

AMBASSADOR CO-ORDINATORS: FRED COLLINS, JASON BROCK & TOM IMBS

Our Rotary Club is located in a large city and its difficult to keep track of our fellow members, meeting once a week.  In 1995 we had a member pass away on Tuesday, with a holiday the following Monday, so we had no method of passing the word to the Club until two weeks following his death.

We formed the Ambassadors, about 15 members volunteered.  Three team captains were selected, Fred Collins, Jason Brock, and Tom Imbs. When we receive word that a member or someone in his/her immediate family needs help, we can contact the Ambassadors by phone and solicit their assistance for such needs as hospital visits, transportation, or attending funerals.

We advise members through the Sunspot or announcements at the weekly meeting of the status of members that are having problems.  This service helps us become a more closely knit organization.  Additionally, our use of e-mail is improving our ability to pass the word and keep the members informed.
