I’m a glass half full person, so I think we have a little more than half of the Rotary year still ahead of us. Lots of time to share Rotary with our soon-to-be new members.
That said, we have no time to waste. Oh, and the HOLIDAYS are here. We can’t do anything about membership during the holidays, we’re too busy. Nah, the holidays are a GREAT time to invite guests. They get to see us at our best. We’re helping others, collecting food, hosting Santa, having parties, sharing the best of the season of reflection, peace, and joy. (and Egg Nog, and cookies)
It’s the season of giving, after all. Rotary is a great gift to give. Let’s not keep Rotary to ourselves this holiday season. Wrap up an invitation with a ribbon and give it to that person you’ve been thinking about inviting. They just might get the idea that Rotary is pretty special, and so are you for inviting them.
I say let’s do something different this year. Instead of giving in to the notion that we’re too busy during the holidays, let’s turn that on its head and say, “It’s an ideal time to show a new person what Rotary can look like!”
