This past week we visited our home club, The Rotary Club of Jonesboro. The visit went well and we appreciate everyone's good preparation! Special Thanks to President Russell and Assistant Governor Greg Cash.
In this issue you will find lots of dates, please note them.
AUGUST IS ROTARY MEMBERSHIP AND RETENTION MONTH!!
How many membership proposals has your club had so far this year?
As the leader of your club, what is your personal membership goal for you club?
Membership and Retention is the emphasis of the month of August on the Rotary Calendar! This is the opportunity for each of us to ask someone to join Rotary! Remember you will need to ask 5 people before someone will accept. President Wilf has asked that each Rotarian bring a new member into Rotary in 2007-2008. Share Rotary with someone this month! Please meet with your membership chair and implement your plans now!
Presidential Membership Conference in Fort Lauderdale
This is the last conference in this series on August 24-25. President Wilf will be in attendance. Please consider attending with me or send your membership chair or another representative! If you or anyone in your club is interested please contact me ASAP so we can travel together.
