AUGUST IS MEMBERSHIP AND NEW CLUB DEVELOPMENT MONTH

Innovation
 
Change
 
Action
 
Any one of these concepts can seem a little scary when trying to apply it to your Rotary Club – but it doesn’t have to be!  August is Membership month in Rotary and there are some innovative, action orientated changes taking place in all levels of Rotary – especially Membership!!
 
 
 
Have you heard about the idea behind Satellite Clubs?  These clubs are an extension of your current club – not your competition, as some people think.  It’s an innovative and unique way to reach a segment of your community who currently isn’t a member of your Club!  Satellite Clubs meet at different times, sometimes different locations and can also initiate projects that are independent of what the main Club is doing.  They are often more service action oriented vs. the traditional meal and speaker format of most Clubs.  This model has proven effective in recruiting younger members who are looking for ways to give back to their community, as well as professionals who simply can’t get away during the day to make our current meeting times.
 
If you would like to learn more about this new concept, please reach out to me today!  I would love to give a presentation to your Club and answer your questions and dispel the myths behind this exciting new membership recruitment tool!
