GOOD NEWS ON MEMBERSHIP!
It's a good time for us to step back and take a look at how we are doing with membership so far this Rotary year.  Fact is -  there is light at the end of tunnel when it comes to membership trends for our district!
 
Just looking at the raw statistics, we see what appears to be membership slippage slowing down, if not actually a bit of a turnaround. In the 2016-2017 Rotary Year, District 7910 saw a net loss of 68 members. As of January 31, 2018, we still see a loss for the 2017-2018 Rotary Year of 11 members, but that is a distinct slowing of membership losses.
 
But wait, there’s more! The “official” statistics quoted above do not include Honorary Members. If you include honoraries in the figures, you see that we had a net loss of 35 members in 2016-2017 and an INCREASE of 23 members this Rotary Year (through Feb. 28)!

Rotary Club of Sturbridge donates $5,000 to The Friends of the Joshua Hyde Public Library in Sturbridge

These funds will be used to support children’s and youth programs at the library. The library was thrilled with our donation because many of the programs the library offers would not exist without outside funding provided by the Friends.

In the photo:
Board member, Robert White, presented the check to Children’s Librarian, Pat Lalli (center) and to Donna Englander, Friends president (right).

Tell Rotary's Story as "People of Action"
Tell Rotary's Story as “People of Action” By Laura Spear, Zone 32 Assistant Rotary Public Image Coordinator
 
Every club and District can tell its story as “People of Action” in your respective communities. All you need is a good photo! Everything else is available for you on rotary.org to create your own ads — customized to the work your club is doing — for social media or print advertising.
 
Stories about fundraisers, contributions, or international service are an integral part of what we do, but they’re not necessarily People of Action stories. The People of Action campaign is designed to help better inform our local communities about Rotary and the work we do for the places we call home. To let the rest of the world know who we are, doesn’t it make sense to let our neighbors know first?
 
A People of Action story connects with people—by showing the positive impact Rotary clubs have on our communities. The best way to do this is by incorporating certain elements effectively into your story, including:
