Speaker: Sherry Sims Membership Conference in Santa Barbara last Saturday, August 28, 2010. Highlights: Membership - It's our Business There is no magic wand Need to ask everyone not just friends We are non profit – we recruit, retain, and reach out Our Goal is to be bigger, meaning we need more growth Ask yourself "Why do I want to be in Rotary?" Need to get new generations involved and encourage ongoing involvement We need to be flexible and innovative We need to be action oriented District President would like to see an increase of 400 members. That means our club needs 5 new members. Clubs typically loose 10% of membership each year. Our product is service – giving back to the community Rotary is the Best Keep Secret Again ask yourself, "Why am I here?" Some reasons are fellowship, networking, and giving back to the community. Why are you still in Rotary? Rotary is the gift that keeps on giving. Everyone needs to get an "elevator" speech Chungsam is moving to San Diego in two weeks. Moving to be closer to family.
