Have you ever thought about who our customers are? They are the people we serve but they are also OUR MEMBERS!!!!

We are quickly approaching our new Rotary Calendar Year in July. We normally have a goal of net 1 new member. This is a wonderful goal to have, however, let’s try to achieve our goal by 200%.

According to the Standard Club Constitution, Article 7, Section 1 – Who is eligible to be a Rotarian? “adult persons of good character and good business, professional, and/or community reputation.” I know that we can all come up with a list of many that fit this description.

We have implemented a new policy for bringing guests, 1st time it is FREE!!! I encourage everyone to think of people that you feel would be good Rotarians and invite them to join us some Friday morning. I know that we all are busy with our personal and professional lives so if you have someone that would be a good fit and can’t find time to meet with someone, please just pass their name to me and I will contact them on your behalf.

We are also hoping that our membership will grow with our new program Corporate Memberships. I am still looking for volunteers to be on this committee.

Corporate Memberships –

We are excited to share with everyone that we have a new membership for corporations. A corporate member: consists of at least two management individuals within the same company. A senior Officer (the Chairman, President, C-suite or Vice-President) becomes an Executive Member; attending as their schedule permits and paying for meals when they do attend (minimum times a year is negotiable). The other individual becomes a regular, active member with regular participation in the Club’s business activities. The Executive Member selects the management candidate in his/her organization to fill the active membership role, subject to the candidate satisfying the criteria for membership of all Rotarians. For more information please contact me.

Also thank you to Kent Underwood for the excellent job he does with all of our new members. He is instrumental in getting the new Rotarians off to a great start. He meets with new Rotarians once a month to help them through the new member tasks. Thank you, Kent!!
