Membership!

This is the string to discuss membership challenges and ideas in gaining and retaining members.

Here's an idea, TELL people about your Rotary meeting and invite them to attend or speak. If they've never been, the odds they will join are pretty low. Get them hooked on good fellowship and good speakers, and joining seems natural.

Thoughts?

Our current members are the best source of leads for new members and I plan on asking, at the end of each meeting, that members remember to invite a guest to the next meeting. Hopefully, if the idea stays current in their minds, when the oppurtunity presents itself they will remember to invite someone. We are currently in the process of creating a informational brochure about Rotary and our club, so the invite can be backed up with it.

As a small form of recognition to those members that recommend a new member I will make them a cheese cake.
