August is Membership Month, which means it’s time to celebrate your Rotary Club, your members, and the good you do in your community and around the world.
For the first time ever, experts from across our Zone will be answering questions on how to drive up membership as part of the Irresistible Series. The Zoom meeting is scheduled for August 12th at 7:30 PM (EST). Directly following the Zone meeting, District 7910 will be hosting a 15-30 minute Cafe on applying some of the strategies mentioned to our local clubs. Registration for the "Ask the expert" zoom meeting - https://rotary7910.org/event/membership--ask-an-expert--you%e2%80%99ll-pick-the-subject(s)/
In order for your club to celebrate increased membership this year, you must be open to change. The saying, "This isn't your father's Rotary anymore," is quite true. The days of a weekday two-hour luncheon and program are long gone, or at least they should be. The key is to remain flexible and to understand the community's potential in obtaining new membership, just like "Anytown, USA."
Rotary is an International Organization with 46,000 clubs in 220 countries! Rotary urges clubs to Partner with Clubs outside their country to do good. Your District 7910 has significant funds available for Global Grants that can make your ideas happen.
Val Gallot (Belgium) and Diego (Mexico) returned to their home countries last month after a wonderful Rotary Youth Exchange Year here in MA. Kudos to their host Rotary Clubs - Marlborough and Weston-Wayland - who welcomed these young men to our District, arranged for host families, stayed in touch throughout the year, provided them a monthly stipend, and supported them as the year progressed. Very special and warm thanks to their Club Youth Exchange Officers (aka YEOs) Bonnie Doolin (Marlborough) and Edwin Gaw (Weston-Wayland)! When you see them, ask them to tell you all about RYE!
