Rotary Awareness Month

January is Rotary Awareness month, which is not only about our organisation’s history but also our future. Assuming we are serious to attract new members, seasoned Rotarians must be prepared to share their knowledge and experience. 

Prospective members will want to know all about the opportunities for service and the resources available to them if they do commit to join a Rotary Club. And when we welcome that new member, there are traditions to pass on and a rich heritage to share. 

Rotarians have a proud history marked by growth and achievement. That history is so deep and varied that while most of us can name Rotary milestones, far fewer know the complete story of programs and opportunities. The greater the understanding of Rotary’s history and tradition of service, the better we are prepared to welcome new members and Lend A Hand in our communities and around the world.  

A UNICEF director once said “Rotary has won a place of respect in the global village – in fact Rotary has helped make the world a global village.”
