DG'S MESSAGE
Membership! That's our focus! Our goal is to grow by 15%.
ATM - Always Think Membership! Turn everything you do – club meetings, service projects, fundraisers, club socials - into a membership event!
Are you holding a Blood Drive? Turn it into a Membership Drive - reach out to the community for donors - everyone who signs up just became a Rotary Prospect! And be sure to have a table with Rotary information as they leave the donor area!
Are you holding a club social? Have every member bring a guest, and voila! - It's a Membership Event!
Do you have a Flag Program? Ask for community volunteers - anyone who volunteers is a great Rotary prospect!
Always Think Membership - It's everyone's job!
