Dear fellow Rotarians,
 
Greetings from the District Membership Team!
 
I hope this message finds you and your family safe and healthy.
 
July marks the beginning of Rotary Year 2020-2021. Welcome to all 61 Club Presidents in our District, with 4004 members strong as of July 1, 2020.
 
This month, we will share the following Grow Rotary strategies:
 
  1. Learn to use virtual tools to engage members – Embrace best practices to engage with participants in the virtual world. Learn how to use technology and tools to implement change in Rotary clubs to create positive, memorable, meaningful, and inspiring membership experience
  2. Grow Rotary through new membership types – Learn about new models to diversify membership and strengthen participation and new member attraction
  3. Engage young families and young professionals with service and alternate meetings – Brainstorm how clubs can position Rotary as an opportunity to spend quality time with young families and young professionals, and how to support our young members to balance Rotary membership with limited free time and other financial obligations
  4. Book a “Grow Rotary Impact” Program – Your members are the best resource in growing your Club membership. Inspire your members to become a Sponsor of new members. Learn the Why, What, and How in Grow Rotary Impact
The coming month of August is Membership Month. The District will host a Membership Seminar on Saturday August 15 from 9:00am to 12:30pm.  Mark your calendar and save the date – three informative sessions will provide practical and workable membership retention and attraction practices. Every Rotarian is invited – be present for some fun raffle drawings.
 
Please remember that the District Membership Team is readily available to lend support, spark innovative thinking, and provide resources. We are always available for a phone call, online meeting, or to participate in one of your Club meetings/events.
