TIAL CITATION.......GO FOR IT


most clubs who are active membership growth this year can meet.


I believe the requirements are not onerous and are well within reach of many clubs in D1160 this year, so raise it in your club this week and watch out for the deadline and keep up the good work. And finally.......Membership tip for this edition...Don’t be afraid to ask.


Many Rotarians have never introduced a new member. Why not? Encourage your members to invite friends along as guests to your club, especially if you have an interesting speaker or event taking place.


In reality, we all know someone we can invite. Are those Rotarians who claim not to know anyone to introduce really saying that they do not know anyone who would want to join this club!! So make it part of each Rotarians commitment to his /her club service to invite guests to the club and rise to the challenge facing us in Membership. Also make sure


your membership team and club mentor are working to present your club to potential new members in the best possible light.


Ask yourself........ • Are meetings enjoyable, lively, interesting , good use of time • Do we leave our meeting feeling that we have had an enjoyable time in every respect, one that was so good that we would not have wanted to miss it? • Are expectations being met? If not, members will become “too busy with other things just now” and drift away.


And don't forget DGs question to those she meets as speakers and guests at different Rotary events: "Have you ever been asked to join Rotary?"


If the answer is no and it usually is, follow up with an invitation to the weekly club meeting: "Please come along to one of our weekly meetings?"
