Pres. John launched the meeting with the traditional striking of the Rotary bell. Charles Grotyohann offered the beauty of prayer. God Bless America resonated this day led by Steve Wescott. The chorus followed in tonal ambiguity.
Bob Shankman treated the Club with his presentation, “Amazon and Becoming an Amazon Vendor – Everything You Need to Know.” Bob took us through the history and growth of Amazon and gave an overview of the vastness of the company. Bob highlighted the company both from the perspective of a buyer and a vendor explaining how to be a successful buyer or seller. Bob enumerated many facts about Amazon depicting just how large a company it is; e.g., 2,000,000 vendors, revenues greater than all department stores combined, 314,000 USA jobs, 13,000 NJ jobs, etc.
It was an informative, lively presentation enjoyed by those in attendance for which Bob received the Rotary Wheel. A great program by a great presenter – dilly, dilly.
Note: Bob's practice presentation can be viewed on YouTube at https://youtu.beWMzgONQTIGc
