I always enjoy attending the District Learning Assemblies held twice a year—there’s always something new to take away. The March 14th event at Messiah College was no exception.
Membership is a shared focus across all Rotary clubs, and it’s safe to say we’re all looking for ways to grow. With our Taste of Rotary new member breakfast coming up later this month, I made a point to attend the Membership Drive Success session. One idea really stood out.
Instead of focusing solely on inviting friends and family, the session leader suggested we broaden our reach by connecting with professional organizations—groups like SHRM (Human Resources), YCEA, tradespeople, and those in education such as schools and colleges. It also sparked the idea of reaching out to professionals in banking, accounting, or marketing.
That got me thinking about our own club’s needs. While we’ve recently filled the treasurer position for 2026–27, our Public Relations Committee could use more support, and the Program Committee would benefit from one or two additional members. If you know someone with expertise in areas like marketing, science, education, healthcare, or another field, why not invite them to join us?
A personal invitation is still the most effective way to introduce someone to our club. So, who do you know that might be a great fit?

With help from the Rotary Clubs of Eastern York County, Hanover, Red Lion/Dallastown, Southern York County, Uptown York, York-East and York-North
Quick Summary: The event will be shared by Clubs throughout York County on April 11 as we plant trees to commemorate America’s 250th anniversary, York County’s 275th anniversary, and the Articles of Confederation’s 250th anniversary. A total of eight Clubs will join together! Our club will join the others to plant a total of nine trees in nine different municipalities so that each municipality (72 in total) in York County receives their own “Liberty Tree.” We will begin at 8:00 a.m.!
More detail: To celebrate these benchmarks, York Rotary Foundation partnered with the County of York and America250PA to dedicate one of 67 descendent Liberty Trees at the York Colonial Courthouse on October 17, 2024, as part of the County birthday and to kick off the Nation’s birthday.
