Theme for the month of August 2024
OUR GREATEST ASSET
AUGUST MARKS MEMBERSHIP AND NEW CLUB
DEVELOPMENT MONTH - A TIME FOR US TO
CELEBRATE AND REFLECT ON ROTARY'S FOUNDATIONS,
OUR MEMBERS AND CLUBS.
Our Rotary members are at the heart of everything we do. Their
passion, commitment and diverse skills help us create lasting change
in communities worldwide. The stronger our membership, the more
visible we are in the community, and the more resources we have for
creating impact.
We experience The Magic of Rotary primarily through our clubs.
Research shows that club experience is the single most important
factor in member satisfaction. To attract and engage members,
clubs need to offer experiences that members have told us they
want: meaningful service, connections with others, personal growth
opportunities, strong leadership and fun!
At the same time, our clubs should be welcoming and inclusive, so that
members feel they belong.
New clubs are an opportunity for us to expand our reach and
increase our participant engagement. Opportunities to start new
clubs are all around us whether it's:
A location that has never had a club or had one in the past
A specific cause or community need
An under-represented group or demographic
Service-oriented people with busy lifestyles who couldn't or
haven't wanted to join us previously
Not only are new clubs a way for us to do better in the world,
they also keep Rotary diverse, vibrant and relevant.
I hope that in August and throughout the coming year you'll join
President Stephanie Urchick in making the Rotary experience
'Simply irresistible'.
Thank you for everything that you do!
Our members - you - are our greatest asset.
