VISION PURSUED
The Fayette Rotary club is a pre-imminent provider of philanthropic service in our community, and thus an asset that draws new business to our community.

CLUB SIZE
We grown our club to 75 or more members, and we have added more women and ethnic members, lowered our median age, and we represent every major vocational group in our community.  We also have Rotaract and Interact club affiliates.

ATTRIBUTES
We offer a continuation of excellent Wednesday noon speakers that will keep our members coming and draw new members from the community.  We also provide a mentoring program for new members on the importance of service and foundation giving.  We offer programs for our members on the various ways to give to the Rotary International Foundation and how it invests our money and others.  We hold Quarterly/events designed specically to bring in prospective members.

Vocational Avenue service
We have developed programs whereby Rotary touches the lives of public school students several times throughout their educational career.  We offer a speakers' bureau for local schools.  We have also developed a vocational mentoring program with high school and college students.

Community Avenue service
We have developed programming for home school students to get them more involved in the community.  We have taken a primary leadership role in developing and maintaining an outdoor classroom.  We continue to support RYLA.  We have led our community in efforts to "adopt a spot" in Fayette.

International Avenue service
Rotary annually sponsors an inbound and outbound student with the goal of growing our commitment to 2 inbound and 2  outbound students per year.  We also nominate an ambassadorial scholar each year from CMU.

Foundation success
We have provided funding for 100 PETS  Our club has achieved 100% EREY annually with our goal being $100 per member.  Our Polio Plus giving has averaged $25 per member annually also.  We have raised $25,000 from annual International Night events (Example: Belgian Beer and Chocolate Night).  We have also raised $1000 per year from the sale of Green Mountain Coffee to support local service projects and clean water projects.

Public relations
Our Rotary club has established a regular presence in the local newspaper.  We continue to involve local, non-Rotarians in Rotary programs like RYE and RYLA.  We have developed a three color club brochure to offer to prospective members and other members of the community.  We had a successful Fayette Rotary club 75th year anniversary celebration event.
