As the 2010 RI Convention in Montréal, Québec, Canada, drew to a
close on 23 June, RI President-elect Ray Klinginsmith outlined his plans
for his term, which begins 1 July. Participants also got a preview of
next year's big event in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, where the Host
Organization Committee has planned fun for the whole family.

Klinginsmith will ask Rotarians to apply "cowboy logic" and make Rotary
clubs "bigger, better, and bolder."

The fundamental principles of cowboy logic are taking pride in your
work, talking less and saying more, doing what has to be done, and
remembering that some things just aren't for sale, he explained
during the closing plenary session.

"I believe the way for Rotary to remain viable and vibrant in the next
century is to help our clubs to be bigger, better, and bolder,"
Klinginsmith said. "The clubs are the life and breath of Rotary.
Therefore, it is clear to me that my job is to help the district
governors to help the clubs. We can do it, and we will do it, if all of
us follow the simple solution of cowboy logic."

Klinginsmith also listed improvements that he and the RI Board have
already authorized, including revisions to the RI Strategic Plan to make
it easier to implement and evaluate, a realignment of RI committees to
fit the revised plan, the recruitment of 41 Rotary coordinators, and a
commitment to finding new ways to attract younger members and enable
them to serve as district governors.

Klinginsmith's Rotary journey started in New Orleans, where he
boarded a ship to begin a Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholarship at
the University of Cape Town, South Africa, in 1961. After returning
home, he and his wife, Judie, married and then honeymooned in the city.
He said he is excited about the venue of the 2011 RI Convention because
he will have traveled full circle in both his personal and Rotary life.

During the fourth plenary session, members of the 2011 Host Organization
Committee shared some of the highlights planned for Rotarians, including
a concert featuring a traditional New Orleans brass band, a gospel
choir, New Orleans jazz performers, Cajun music, and the Mardi Gras
Indians. A French Quarter dining experience and an evening at the
Audubon Aquarium of the Americas will be other host-ticketed events.
