JULY IS BRING A FRIEND MONTH
One of Rotary's major priorities is membership growth, extension, and retention. What would happen if every Rotarian brought a potential member to a meeting in July?
The best route to increase membership is to involve every Rotarian. Everyone surely has at least one friend! Exercise that friendship and let those friends learn about "Service above Self" and the fun of being a Rotarian!
Membership is EVERY ROTARIAN'S business. Membership is too important to be delegated to just one or two ROTARIANS in the Club or even a small committee and, certainly, membership is too important to focus on it only one calendar month of the year.
Membership in Rotary cannot be promoted by simply explaining to prospective members all of the rules, policies, procedures, and folklore about Rotary or The Rotary Foundation. The hook is telling prospective new members WHY you are a ROTARIAN, why you have remained engaged in Rotary over the years, and why Rotary is important enough to you that you commit time, energy, and dollars. Your story is a powerful tool that should be used.
The Club needs to be flexible and innovative in order to retain existing members as well as the new members. "Being a friend" is certainly the first step toward improving retention!
Please look for opportunities to bring your friends to a Rotary meeting and show your friends what we're all about.
SOLD OUT EVENT BUT
WE STILL NEED YOUR HELP
We’re thrilled to share that the event is officially sold out!
But there’s still a chance to be part of something special—we’re welcoming donations and sponsorships to help bring this inspiring event to life on July 25th.
If you’re interested in supporting, please reach out to Karen Howard or Ron Arkell to make a donation or become an event sponsor.
We are looking for a warm and welcoming host family for a highschool student from Brazil who will be participating in an exchange program Jan-July 2026.
The ideal host family lives near Massey Secondary School, allowing her to stay at the same school throughout her exchange.
If you're interested in this rewarding opportunity, please contact Neil Bear atNeil.bear61@gmail.com.
Thank you for helping make this cultural exchange possible! 🇧🇷🤝🇨🇦
HELP - SEEKING STORAGE SPACE
Andrea and her team are on a mission to welcome a Syrian refugee family to Canada, and they need your support! 💙 They are seeking storage space to keep household items (couches, beds, houseware, etc.) until the family arrives.
Do you have space that they can borrow?
