MEET & GREET
As was announced by President David at the breakfast meeting on 28 August, we have introduced a ‘Greeter’ programme. One of the two members on desk duty at each breakfast meetings will be the designated ‘Greeter’ It is up to the members on duty to decide which of the two will take on that role. Please put this initiative into action effective from 4 September breakfast meeting.
Purpose of Role
The purpose of the Greeter is to meet each member, visitor and guest as they arrive. The objective is to make each attendee feel welcome, relaxed and part of the Rotary family. In addition, the Greeter needs to ensure members, guests and visitors are included in groups and are not left alone.
