We’re Kicking Goals!

The numbers are in, and we’ve got something to celebrate!
At the start of this DG year, we committed to recognising the small wins along the way. Well, this one is anything but small—it’s tremendous.
The membership numbers for the first half of 2024/25 have been released for Zone 8, and guess which district is sitting in 4th place out of 19 Districts? That’s right—District 9790! We should all take a moment to feel proud of what we’ve achieved together.
Our collective focus on membership engagement and growth is making a real impact:
  • One club in our district leads the way with a net growth of 7 members.
  • Many other clubs have achieved net gains of 1 to 5 members, while many have maintained steady numbers.
If your club hasn’t seen net growth yet, don’t lose heart. Sometimes, external factors play a role. But if there’s something you haven’t tried yet, now is the perfect time to give it a go.
Looking for fresh ideas?
Join us for the Membership Day at Oxley—it could be the spark your club needs.
📅 Date: Sunday, 16 February 2025
⏰ Time: 9:30 AM – 2:30 PM
📍 Location: Oxley Shire Hall, 1157 Snow Road, Oxley VIC 3678

We’re champions of bravery in the membership space, and it’s inspiring to see so many of our clubs stepping up to the challenge. Be bold, keep experimenting, and let us know how we can support your efforts.
Congratulations to everyone—let’s keep the momentum going with a strong focus on engagement and growth!
Yours in Rotary,
DG Stephen & Carol O’Connell
