February 1, 2017 Naples Gulf Shore Sunset Rotary Meeting

On Wednesday Morning, February 1, 2017, John Roeder led the club in the invocation and pledge. Sgt. At Arms, Robbie Selby, then followed with happy bucks and updated us our upcoming Social event at Wyndemere in March and the Atlanta trip in June to attend the RI convention. Activities and logistics to the convention are being planned by Robbie and Anne Towers. Please contact them if you are not signed up to go but may want to.

President Elect, Jim Juliano then introduced Guest Speaker Mark Strain, Collier County Hearing Examiner & Chairman, Collier County Planning Commission.  Mark has been on the Planning Commission since 2005 and has been Chairman for the last 12 years.  He was hired by the County as its first Hearing Examiner in 2013. As Examiner, he hears, evaluates and decides specific land use and development proposals.  Mark gave use an exceptional and detailed power point presentation showing where all the growth will be coming in Collier County on both a macro and micro scale.  Keep your seat belts on, we here in Collier County are in for a rocket growth ride over the next twenty (20) years. One kudo he pointed out is that Collier County has been ranked the happiest and healthiest place to live in the U.S.!

Mark your calendars, unless otherwise stated, all our meetings are at Hyatt House Naples.
