Committee Information

Starmount Forest Country Club - Sam Snead Drive, Greensboro, NC 27410

Meetings are held each Friday 12:30pm (lunch starts at 12:00pm)

Health & Happiness Committee

Committee Chair: Jerry Clark

Health and Happiness is responsible for announcing member birthdays and other milestones such as births, promotions, graduations, etc. We also share with the club any health issues members are having and deaths. We send cards to members suffering health issues and for deaths. The success of our committee depends upon members sharing information with us so we can share it with the club.

Greeter Committee

Committee Chair: Alex Harrill

Our club has a tradition of having at least one member serve as our greeter before each club meeting. Our greeter shows our club’s hospitality by welcoming and offering assistance to members, visitors, and guests. In keeping with another club tradition, the Greeter Committee Chair schedules, as a priority, new members to serve as greeters with their sponsors. This gives the sponsor the opportunity to introduce the new member to his/her fellow Summit Rotarians soon after joining. This practice also gives each member the opportunity to personally welcome the new member to our club.

Membership Committee

Committee Chair: Beth Crise

Membership at Summit Rotary is the driving force of our charitable, 501c3 organization with the goal of recruitment and retention. Our mantra remains that “Rotary is a membership organization and service is our product.” The Membership Committee is composed of several members to greet visitors weekly, organize promotional material in a folder that is given to member prospects, organize and host orientations for new members, and send birthday and illness cards to all members.

Invocation Committee

Committee Chair: Mike Johnson

The Invocation Committee provides an opportunity for our fellow members to lead the club in a moment of reflection, Pledge of Allegiance and the Rotary Four Way Test. The invocation is a time of centering reflection and thanks, structured as an ecumenical opening to the meeting. The invocation serves as a transition from our meal and community time to our more structured meeting. Periodically, members will be called upon to facilitate the invocation. It is a rewarding experience providing an opportunity to personalize our weekly meeting.
