SJEEMembership Chair Charlie Wasser gave a wonderful PowerPoint presentation at the club meet on Thursday August 20. The talk was on how we can work together on making our club more Attractive and Engaging to draw in and retain members. Charlie's talk was further reinforced at the DistrictMembership Seminar held at the Embassy Suites on Saturday August 22. The Seminar was attended by President Robbie, Membership Chair Charlie, and Rtn. Suguna. The very lively and informative presentation by two PDG's from Southern California, Wade Nomura and Larry Sundaram, emphasized on "The New Focus". They introduced some very basic and simple tools that Rotary leaders can adopttoattract and retainmembers at their respective clubs.
President Robbie would like to set up a Membership Committee that would help evaluate our club policies, and initiate some action items to grow and sustain Membership. To learn more and actively participate, please review Charlie's slide show that was mailed to all members, and also visit www.zone2526.org > "Strengthen Clubs" > "Membership" > "Membership Resources".
Loved this from Rtn. Wade Nomura -
"Does your club have the "Cheers" culture -
"Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows you name,
Full House - A reminder to all that we have some very interesting speakers lined up for the next few weeks including MagdalenaCarrasco - City of San Jose Council Member, Kansen Chu - California State Assemblyman, and our very own Rtn. Dave Cortese - President, SCC Board of Supervisors. It is very important that we receive them well with good attendance, and make them feel welcomed. Many of our interactors and members from other local clubs will be visiting, so look forward to some very interesting club meets ahead. We also expect a full house for the Club Evening Meet on September 10, 2015 at 6:00 p.m. For those of us who have not been able to attend the regular afternoon sessions, this is a wonderful opportunity to catch up and make your presence felt. Please bring friends and potential Rotary members.
