To: Active Members of Furnitureland Rotary Club

I was getting ready to order membership badges for new members of our club. As I examined the badge box I realized that many of you have changed businesses or professions since you originally joined Furnitureland Rotary, and the classification shown on your badges does not reflect the true nature of your current business or occupation.

Here is what Rotary says about Classification…

Classifications: professional representation

Rotary uses a classification system to establish and maintain a vibrant cross-section or representation of the community's business, vocational, and professional interests among members and to develop a pool of resources and expertise to successfully implement service projects. This system is based on the founders' paradigm of choosing cross-representation of each business, profession, and institution within a community.
A classification describes either the principal business or the professional service of the organization that the Rotarian works for or the Rotarian's own activity within the organization. Some examples of classifications include: high schools, universities, eye surgery, banking, pharmaceutical retailing, petroleum-distribution, and insurance agency.

To help me to better understand what you do please answer the following questions for me.

Thanks.

Phil Morris, Club Secretary
