- Ken and Janet attended the District Membership seminar the past weekend and found it quite informative. One main take-away was in conversations with potential members it is recommended to emphasize the local aspects of the club and what the new member might gain from membership; rather than the “Big” picture of Rotary International.
- In the area of membership, Ken assigned each member of the club the task of identifying at least one potential new member, cultivating that person and giving contact information to Charlie, our Membership Chair.
