JENNIFER
In , I was a young club President in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. That year our international President was Rick King. We were the Regal Eagles. He set forward a most ambitious goal that year – that each club regardless of size would net one new member per month. No matter that the size of your club this was a daunting task.
My own club had 38 members and I knew that if I went back and started saying week and after week that we needed “net one new member a month” – my club members were going to shut down. I needed to think of an approach that would work for us – and there were no easy answers.
I decided instead to focus on setting the tone and injecting more fun into our meetings. We had a strong history of leadership but I new I needed to do something different. I decided to open each meeting by recognizing a Rotarian of the Week.
