Rotary Minute
 
August Is Membership Month!
 
Rotary International celebrates Membership Month, an opportunity to thank our members for their commitment to Rotary. We begin 2015-'16 celebrating strong membership growth of nearly 25,000 members this past year. The hard work and support of our members has led to successes such as the recent polio-eradication milestones in Nigeria and on the entire African continent, both of which marked one year without a case of polio caused by the wild poliovirus. Those achievements wouldn’t have been possible without members’ dedication and their continued support of Rotary and The Rotary Foundation.
