Board Meeting held immediately after the Club Forum
The Board agreed to make a donation to support the purchase of a GE Micro Probe for Liverpool Hospital. This device is being purchase jointly by Rotary Clubs in our District and is a vital life saving tool.
A proposal for future fund raising will be put to members.
The Board agreed to fund two candidates for RYPEN at Teen Ranch, in May. we have one nomination and are looking for another.
New Member Night - because of the number of members traveling this has now been moved to 30th April 2024.
Let’s face it - attracting members to join a service organization is not an easy task. In fact, oftentimes, we see that even though the majority of people are aware of Rotary, only a few know what Rotarians actually do.
The prospective members that we try and recruit are often our friends, colleagues or family members.
These are people that are easy to recruit because you share a personal relationship with them and can easily explain the work of Rotarians to them.
Invite members of your local community, friends and business contacts to this membership night!
We will have a speaker and some materials ready to give out at this event that consist of information about your club, activities and Rotary. This way, prospective members have something conclusive to take away and read. Invite all prospective members at the membership night to attend so they can get a feel of what the dynamic of the club is like.
Those who are really interested will attend and you'll have an opportunity to formally invite them to join the club.
IF WE WANT TO GROW THE CLUB, IT IS UP TO EVERY MEMBER TO PROMOTE THE CLUB AND THIS NIGHT!
Community Service Director John Pillay advised that our next Feed the Homeless Night in Martin Place, will be held on 11 March 2024 at 6 for 6:30pm.
