May 4th, 2008 in Rotary SharesMembership Recruitment and Retention
To keep clubs strong, every Rotarian must share the responsibility of bringing new people into Rotary. Even new members can bring guests to meetings or invite them to participate in a service project. The value of Rotary speaks for itself, and the best way to spark the interest of potential members is by letting them experience fellowship and service firsthand. For more on strategy or techniques on recruiting new members, contact our District Membership Chair, PDG Johnny Robertson at johnsfuel@embarqmail.com.
40/60 Paul Harris Fellow Matches Still Available
Rotarians across our District continue to take advantage of this fantastic offer. As of today, only 12 matches remain. Don’t let this opportunity get by you–act now!!!
The match requires a concurrent $600.00 new money contribution to The Rotary Foundation. The $400.00 matches from the District are available due to donated points from other Rotarians and from accumulated District points. We started with approximately 50 matches and all matches must be claimed and paid by 1 June 2008.
Please contact our Foundation Chair, PDG Bevin Wall at bevin@rli33.org to reserve your match. The information needed will be the Rotarian’s name, club name, and name and address of the recipient of the Paul Harris Fellow. The District will help complete and turn in the appropriate forms. Reservations are not final until the funds are received. Please note that none of the $600.00 cash match can be in points.
GSE Opportunities–2008-09
During Rotary Year 2008-09, our District will sponsor two GSE Teams. One with District 9220 (Madagascar & Mauritius) and the other with newly formed Rotary District 2201 (Central Spain, including Madrid and the Canary Islands). While the dates could vary, dates of the Madagascar/Mauritius Exchange are 18 April-18 May 2009. Dates of the Spanish Exchange are to be determined.
GSE Team Leader criteria can be found in RI Publication “Program Guide for Rotarians” pages 17&18. We are looking for an experienced Rotarian who can take charge of the Team that he/she will help to select. He/she should have some international experience/exposure and must be willing and able, physically and otherwise, to keep pace with the vigorous program that is typical of an Exchange. Language proficiency/fluency in the host district language is a plus but, not mandatory. Spouses or relatives of Rotarians are not allowed to accompany the Team. The Team Leader will be responsible for pre-departure preparation, orientation, team-building, completion and assembly of all pre-departure documents for Team Members. GSE Team Leaders and Members have significant responsibilities in hosting the Inbound GSE Teams from Madagascar/Mauritius and Spain.
