(0:00) SBI with Stephanie Cooper. She’s the Rotary Club President in Star Valley. (0:04) And Karen Morgan, she’s the District Governor.
(0:06) Stephanie, first of all, for you, tell us what Rotary is in Star Valley. (0:11) Rotary in Star Valley is commitment to our community. (0:15) It’s service to our community.
(0:18) It’s taking care of each other and hopefully filling in the gaps that community needs. (0:24) You meet every week as a club, right? (0:26) We try to. (0:27) Generally at the Silver Star offices? (0:28) Most times, yes.
We try and meet every couple weeks at least. (0:33) But yes, mostly at the Silver Star and thing. (0:35) And occasionally you get a visit from the District Governor.
(0:39) District Governor Karen Morgan, tell us what Rotary is at your level. (0:42) Well, Rotary at my level is comprised of a geographic area that includes northern Colorado, (0:49) all of Wyoming, a couple clubs in western Nebraska, one in southeast Idaho. (0:54) And we provide support services so that our clubs can do the important work they do in their communities.
(1:02) So we work as a team to provide tools and resources that will help their clubs thrive and be successful. (1:10) What might be an example of how you would help the Star Valley Rotary Club? (1:13) So we recently developed an external-facing website that is geared to appeal to folks (1:23) who are looking for ways to give back to their community through community service or professional networking. (1:30) And it helps them find clubs in their local area.
(1:33) So that’s just one of the things we do. (1:35) We also provide training seminars on all the various aspects of Rotary. (1:40) Rotary International is comprised of 1.2 million members worldwide in 200 different countries, (1:49) which is more countries than there are in the United Nations.
(1:52) Busy playing, so let’s conclude with Stephanie Cooper, President of the Star Valley Rotary Club. (1:57) Stephanie, any concluding comments as far as the Star Valley Rotary Club, how people get involved, etc.? (2:03) Well, we’re a professional network and we want to invite any professionals that want to come join our club (2:10) to just hang out and try a meeting and come find out what we’re all about. (2:16) Wednesday mornings, 7 o’clock at the Silver Star offices? (2:19) Most times, yes.
I’m happy to reach out to our club email and ask if we’re having a meeting, we can fill you in from there. (2:27) Stephanie Cooper, President of the Star Valley Rotary Club. (2:30) And Karen Morgan, she’s the District Governor for Rotary.
